Just got mine. But till now i was not able to use the stylus. It does nothing if i touch a button or the keyboard. Is there an trick?

Riocaz · 07-20-2006, 08:15 AM

Did you remove the stylus while it was starting up?

If so try putting it back in and taking it back out again.

It worked for me last night.

Tscherno · 07-20-2006, 09:07 AM

After resetting and plugging the power in it worked. Then it stopped working and now it works again... Mhmmm

Tscherno · 07-20-2006, 09:17 AM

And it hangs and boots and hangs... Mhmmm. How is the correct way for resetting? Only pushing the reset-button does nothing.

herve · 07-20-2006, 09:20 AM

It's mine! muhahahaha!!

Well, it was when I discovered my workmates made a joke and hid it. They met the UPS guy before me. That's their revenge for me annoying them with the Iliad for the last eight weeks!

Actually it turns off the iLiad and resets it. You just dont see it, because the screen stays put. Just turn it on again afterwards. Sometime i had to do the reset and restart twice.

Riocaz · 07-20-2006, 09:44 AM

it's even more confusing when it runs out of power...

took me a good 10 minutes to work out why it had just stopped last night and resetting it wasn't working...

Oh dear, I hope mine don't do the same, they are bored of hearing me!

But glad to hear you got it finally, mine is also in Paris right now (still!).

I found that sometimes booting the iLiad with an SD in hung it, popping the SD out and restarting it seems to work. I guess there are issues reading the SD at boot anyway because I *always* need to unplug and re-plug the SD after a cold boot in order to get a dist of files on it.

Regarding the stylus stuff I suspect that's another software issue that needs addressing. When you place the stylus in the holder it's supposed to register that it's there and turn off stylus sensing. If you leave it out for 3 minutes away from the screen, then the sensing is turned off and you have to re-holster the stylus and take it out again to turn it on again.

I've found that sometimes if you put the stylus back in during a page turn or some operation where the iLiad is busy (green light on or flashing lots) it doesn't seem to register that it's gone back in. So next time you get it out (if you've left it longer than 3 minutes) it doesn't seem to work at all, and you have to put it in and get it out again to turn on sensing.

These are annoying little niggles but basically software issues that need tweaking, and we all knew we were getting unfinished system software; I am sure they will all be addressed in future updates

Yes, SD slot has a few problems. Mine didnt register my 2GB transcend card at all. And as you i always have to reinsert the card after restart to get recognized. But they said SD preformance should be better with OS 2.5

And for the stylus, they need an icon inj the iconbar. Its just to weird, if your pen suddenly doesnt work.
