I'm hesitant to enable the Play store due to possible impact on the battery life, any observations there?

Hello, I am writing to you because I have a small problem. I have an e reader likebook mars as a Christmas gift, but I can not install google play. I contacted Boyue directly and they told me to check if I had the updated firmware version (it's updated), and they gave me the instructions to follow and the instructions to activate google play services. It turns out that I finally can not do it, since the e-reader is the Chinese version. They told me that there are instructions and software to be able to change it to the international version that accepts google play services, but that they can not directly supply it to me even though they tell me that the seller can. My problem is that being a gift I do not know the seller. Could someone from the forum that had the problem share with me the software and the instructions? Thank you.

I've bought two recently from AliExpress, shipped form Spain, received in Italy in less than a week.
Turn on, update, reboot, enable Google Framework under App Settings, Play store fully functional. Last edited by psychowood; 01-23-2019 at 04:05 AM. |

Thanks Malcom!.
No, I can´t see it. I have the latest version of firmware but I still have the problem. I follow the instructions that tell me and in "App" --- "User Settings" --- "Apps" --- "Configure apps" -I do not get the option to enable google framework. The firmware version that I have installed is: BYRead -V1.0.5-2018121411 and I do not see the option in the configuration to enable google framework I contacted Boyue directly and they told me that my e-reader has the Chinese version. There is software to solve this, but i don't know the seller to obtain it, and Boyue don`t send it directly to customers...so I'm lost. Last edited by jilgo; 01-22-2019 at 10:25 AM. |

I bought Likebook Mars as my secondary device from Amazon (Germany) last week. I also have an Onyx Boox Max 2 Pro (4 GB RAM) which I use for my main work. I am facing a few issues with the Likebook Mars and I was wondering if anyone has some helpful advice please.
1. Likebook Mars does not shut down it hangs on the shutting down the device but never powers off. Mostly it hangs and then just restarts. Is this normal? When I bought the device I updated the firmware the current version is: V 1.0.5-2018121414. 2. I had no issues getting Playstore enabled. Most apps install on Likebook Mars but for some reason the following apps don't work: Duolingo, Youtube, Memrise. I have no problem running Microsoft word, Onedrive, Babbel, Excel. Most youtube videos work on the chrome browser on likebook mars but not all of them I get a playback error. I have tried several factory resets and clearing the cache (chrome and youtube apps). [I have no issues on my Onyx Boox Max 2 Pro which is running Android 6.0.1.] I am wondering if I need to reinstall the firmware and hope it fixes the issues. I have contacted Buoyue on two different emails yesterday and today, but I have so far not had a reply. I am kind of thinking about sending it back but I rather fix these issues if I can. I use it during the night and as a support screen. So any advice or help with this will be really appreciated. Can I download the firmware from a support site? Thanks in advance!! |

Hi, I'm interested in the Likebook Mars because of the possibility it could use the Bookwalker app.
Can anyone with the Likebook Mars and Google Play Store test if the Bookwalker app works? https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...r.android.epub Thanks |

I think it will be impossible to install it in my e-reader. As I mentioned from the own Boyue they say that there is a way to install a software that puts the e-reader in an international version, but that they only supply it to the sellers, not to the buyers. And since mine is a gift (I do not know where it has been bought), I can not ask any vendor for the software. Thank you |

Yeah they are not currently releasing it seems the firmware files, you can't ask who gifted it to you where they got it? I would have thought that boyue knew by serial number who would have had that device in Inventory.
So the apks installed fine though? Once you do it manually you do not enable the framework in the normal location if it had worked. But I guess it must be a system app and you can't manually change it to be one. Normally you would open the play store and it would trigger the account process. Malcolm |
