A short glimpse on OS 2.8 - Page 2

CommanderROR · 10-31-2006, 10:02 AM

WHAT!!!

From their statement on the Forums, I got a very different impression...anyone care to quote?
If this is true...then...then...I don't know, but I'll get very unpleasant about it.
Low power consumption is one of the key points in E-Ink, Paper-like devices, the Sony can do it, the Hanlins can do it, and the Iliad better be able to do it as well since it's the most expensive by far of all the devices...

Can you clarify this...? Ie, link to post in the forums...? Email excerpt, if possible...?

Riocaz · 10-31-2006, 10:34 AM

I'm hoping that Malder has missed off the "Yet" or "at this time". If not then iRex have some explaining to do.

CommanderROR · 10-31-2006, 11:06 AM

Quite...

I put this up at the iRex forums...maybe we'll finally get a straight answer on this matter...so far all answers have been a bit "unclear", so the fear and the hope both lived on...

Look here for an answer...if someone cares to provide one.

@Malder1

Please give us some more input about this...

The iLiad can be made to hibernate, no if's, and's or but's about it.

Just give me the source and I'll show you how.

OK, but can you make it hibernate in between pageflips?
I guess you can dfinately do it with the on/off switch.
But can the flipbar wake up the machine?

Although a hibernate after 10 minutes beeing idle and waking up after flipping the power switch would suffice for me.

Depends on what you mean by "hibernate" and "standby"...

suspend to RAM is what I mean by that...doing the PocketPC thing...^^

Meaning, stopping the CPU clock but keeping refresh on RAM? That should be "suspend", and then "hibernate" should be to push the memory into the flash memory and closing with a special flag somewhere.

Which code do you need and which hibernate do you mean?
Do you mean something like suspend to RAM?
If it is possible, please tell how to, or send just little bit information, code which can hibernate iLiad. I saw, that it can be down with APM or ACPI. But is it possible to create APM or ACPI support for iLiad - I don't know...

Malder1 · 10-31-2006, 04:47 PM

I also owner of iLiad (maybe you remember I wrote utility that renders text to images for PDF to reach better sharpness of text for reading).

I sent a question to iRex (techsupport@) - will they realize hybernate mode to quickly start up ilIad within several seconds like Sony Reader. They replied me during several hours that hardware of iLiad doesn't support suspend mode.

CommanderROR · 10-31-2006, 04:54 PM

Thank you Malder1

I will get a straight answer out of iRex about this, even if it means I'll have to go to Eindhoven myself...

For me, this is the death of the Iliad. Being patient, waiting for them to get it done is one thing, knowing it won't be possible at all...unbelievable...

Malder1 · 10-31-2006, 05:49 PM

CommanderROR,
I agree with you, I need only this feature and nothing more. All other things work fine.

The strange thing, why iRex choosed this hardware if it doesn't support suspend mode? Suspend mode the top required feature and for usual users and for B2B users.

So can you clarify how this can be done...? Apparently Irex say it can't...
