Hi, exactly my case.
I am still searching, but have no solution. Just to let you know. The display works fine as a second monitor with mac book and osx 10.10.5 Yosemite I will keep on researching what the issue could be. It's dismounted the dsi 7" touch screen from the rasp berry and had set LCD off, config. Txt to safe mode but all didn't change anything. Keep in touch |

Ask why Onyx is forcing to use it's own note app by lagging the other 3rd party apps. |

And, not a hint about the legal framework to oppose this class of risks. Nor about the cultural derive that is favouring this wave. Meanwhile: -- the US actively weakened encryption in common systems - reportedly did, not could do; -- not long ago a non-protected server of a software producing company was holed, which apparently contained /all that users of their virtual keyboard software had typed while using it/. And the problem is, that the personnel in that company who approved that the keyboard should collect what is typed and send the data anywhere, should be, rethorical weakenings aside, *murdered* or legal equivalence, and the bewildering thing is that this does not appear as evident. In the tech forum, the vastest majority focused on the lack of protection on the servers! First, you have to demonstrate that they are actively lagging 3rd party apps. It's a big claim.

Yeah, I noticed a huge difference in drawing apps (not even on eink). Autodesk Sketchbook is really really slow and laggy compared to PaperOne which works a lot better. And that on my S8+ which I thought was not supposed to be a slouch.

Why do you assume it should be open sourced? It is not a requirement that all apps in Android must be open source, either. Google does it with open source API for Android, and proprietary API in Google Play Services. Onyx can do the same if they wish with their own proprietary API that allows their apps a different access to hardware than 3rd party apps that are not optimized for Onyx.

I already threw my guess in the past. Which also entails, again there's a set of plausible alternatives to pick.
And: you think "closed source" protects from revealing such things? Last edited by mdp; 02-18-2018 at 05:30 PM. |

I received mine 9 days ago. I am very happy with it and I am using it a lot, exactly the way I expected, but I still would hesitate to recommend it to friends because:
- it does reboot randomly a couple of times a day, although it does it a bit less often than in the beginning. No info is lost on books I'm reading but if it reboots while taking notes then you do lose part of your work. Does anybody else have the same issue ??? I contacted the e-book store where I bought it and they are looking into it but I'm curious as to whether I'm the only one. |

Agree with the left-handed option ! Also it seems a bit of a pity that when we have the open notebook next to the pdf it is no longer possible to underline or look up words in the dictionary

@ Iceblits In my previous response to you I wrote it is almost impossible to scratch the screen. After longer use though, I have also observed scratches from my own annotations, which would not disappear after removing the dust particles with a cloth. It was surprising because the Max Carta screen showed no such scratches after almost one year of use...
So I asked Booxtor how is this possible. According to him, since the screen for the two models is basically the same, this should not happen. Nonetheless, Max2 has the touch screen layer applied over the Carta screen, and now it seems that the touch screen layer is the one being scratched. Onyx did not anticipate that the extra layer is so sensitive to stylus. I guess they will look to the problem after the New Lunar Year festivities are over. This is pretty annoying. Hopefully the basic screen is intact. The only good news is that these scratches are not visible in normal light conditions. One needs a strong lateral light source to see them. Also I did buy the protective screen in the end and will try to mount it as soon as it comes. P.S. Iceblits, you can use the eraser in a more gentle manner by simply clicking with it on the annotation you want to delete, instead of the classic long move over it. UPDATE: The protective screen has no antiglare properties and at one edge it does not attach properly. Also, it is virtually impossible to remove all traces of dust between the screen and the protective sheet, as well as to remove all the air bubbles forming in the process. Not an optimal solution. Onyx should have tested the the new screens and find a technical solution to the all too sensitive touch-screen layer, before bringing the product to the market.

Anyway I have talked with Booxtor about a screen issue in my device. Just thought to check this thread to see if it's common. The screen is a bit loose on the right side or rather the internals are loose, some space between the flexible screen and the back cover. Normally I would not notice it but it does "click" when I put my hand on the screen to write anything, see the video. Booxtor told me it is fine and wil not cause any issues to the reader but if I don't like it I can send it for repair anytime during the warranty. Yea, sending back to Germany sucks so I'm not in a hurry. |

Just received my Max 2 from Amazon, well boxed, powered up OK on arrival. Have updated the firmware via the download from www.boox.com to V1.8.3 (20180129)
(As an FYI, if you buy on amazon.co.uk right now there is a promotion option where you not only get the aluminium stand for free, buying with Prime, the discount knocks another £13.20 off the Max price) Been reading the posts, multiple and various and my issues are pretty similar to everyone else's. The Security lock issue really HAS to be fixed as neither through the ADB path or the Android settings APK path for password setting stick on the Max. Whilst for some individuals this may not seem an issue, it means that enterprise take up of the Max will be stymied and the potential loss of intellectual property or personal data is unacceptable in this day and age. Then there is the problem that you can't have any app stay resident after a reboot. So for example, download a lock screen app, to work around the security issue, won't fire up automatically on reboot. Install an app to make it resident, the Max Android implementation over rides it so the kludge for security won't load on boot and it has to be manually started, so.....no effective security One Note, the application writing latency and stability makes, for me, the use of One Note wholly unusable. The whole Android experience is badly implemented, the "Settings" page is a perfect example. This is a reasonably well specced Android tablet, no need to cripple it. Make it as plain vanilla an install as practical with the EPD experience front and centre. Sensors.....At the least this needs to be sufficient so that screen rotation is automatic, GPS would be nice but not essential. The HDMI out was one of the reasons I bought the Max, it would be equally useful for it to be so that the Max can do HDMI in so it can drive an external monitor. The on-board video chip should be able to handle it and the Max then could become a very effective standby computer, display driver etc. Remapping of the physical keys should be available. As an example, using many Android apps by default masks the top screen space (with the home button) so the only way to exit the app is the repeatedly press the return key. Have the apps NOT be full screen by default. Also if the app is set to not full screen, if it opens something inside, One Note is an example open a page from inside the app, the new screen is full screen with no way to set it to not be full screen. Having the hardware keys either be manually remappable or context remapped so for example the left "Menu" button becomes the Home button would be useful. Screen resolution seems out of kilter in some places. The device is a 2200 x 1650 + 207 PPI yet the "Application" screen icons are oversized and look more like you would expect from a 1024 x 768 display. It may be an app issue but I haven't seen the same sort of issue with my Yotaphone 2 which seems to handle resizing somewhat better. There is so much potential here that is being blocked for no readily apparent reason. |
