Warm greetings to all forum users. This is my first post, but I have been reading this forum for some time. Finally, I got my first e-ink device. I would like to ask you for giving me a hint what I did wrong.
Basically, I failed to install update-20121102.zip on my OOnyx i62HD Firefly 4GB. I have firmware version 1.7.5 20121026 on my device. When I keep pressing the HOME button upon power up my device reboots repeatedly. When I release the button it boots normally to the current firmware version.

You must install first 13 Nov firmware
12 Dec one is just an update to 13 Nov and can't be installed as you are doing. Welcome |

hi, as I know, there is not yet any update for firefly. Wait until new dedicated thread will be created for firefly, and don't became impatient and repetitive as others users are.. please..
to booxtor: don't know if it's a new bug, but sometimes in pdf when I click previous page, I return to the 1st page. ex i am at pg 53, want to go back to 52, click on lateral button but ... return to 1 page. I have also noticed a new feature: fbreader now can change fonts family! But still doesn't display images. Coolreader instead, sometimes crashes in opening validated epub. I mean: i click on epub, show loading circle, after a while return to file manager. And at last: cover image is badly created in file manager: -with pdfreader cover became the last view page: ex. a new epub never opened, I open it and go to page 4, I quit, the cover show page 4 instead of 1. Once created, cover never change. I consider it a bug -wit coolreader the cover became the last viewed page of the book, but is always refreshed. ex, the 2nd time I open the book and go to pg 7, cover became pg 7. That might not be a bug, but....... cheers and goodnight! Last edited by Inemi; 12-19-2012 at 08:07 PM. |

This might have been intended for me. So if that's the case, I'm sorry. But I was just responding to messages that announced, a few days ago already, an imminent (matter of hours) firefly update and a dedicated thread. And, Inemi, since you seem to have tried out the different reading applications, can you use custom fonts and can you zoom with your fingers with an epub in coolreader ? Have a nice day |

with coolreader, you can use costum fonts, but only ttf, not otf, But in my opinion, adobe font (default in pdfreader) is quite a good font, with ligatures and nice forms. I have tested linux libertine ttf, but it is much slower in changing page. And 2 fingers zoom works only on pdf - but I am not certain. cheers! |

For all Firefly and i62HD users I highly recommend to install this Patch! Just unzip the archive and copy three files to your INTERNAL memory. Click on update. It fixes lots of issues of current firmware (e.g. improves pinch zooming, turn pages with finger taps in PDF Reader, decreases the lowest glow level of MoonLigt etc.) We are working on new update. Just be patient. Last edited by Booxtor; 12-20-2012 at 05:36 AM. |

If you want a particular font, you can open your epub with sigil - a pc program - and add font inside the epub. Any program should then use this font. Last edited by Inemi; 12-20-2012 at 05:47 AM. |

I am just looking forward for a toolbar with a tad larger icons. Also, what is currently very inconvenient for me is that the list of font typefaces is truncated to number that fit single screen. There is no next screen button, a scrollbar or anything. BTW: an option to override CSS font definition in EPUB using CoolReader, FBReader or whatever would be highly appreciated. Is there any specific reason why FBReader version installed in Onyx readers is very outdated comparing to Android version? On my Android tablet I use FBReader, GoldenDict and ezPDF application and I miss some features on Onyx. However, my usage scheme of e-ink reader is to read from the cover to the cover. (Actually a dozen of titles at once: some I finish, some I plan to finish in the undefined future and some practically dropped.) On the other hand I tend to use tablet to read technical stuff, academic papers etc. when jumping from one page to another, the best available dictionaries and instant Internet access are all crucial. Thus, I don't really need all features of mentioned above apps on the Onyx device. What I really looking for on Onyx HD: 1. Icons that can be selected with a finger in the first try. 2. E-ink friendly font (ideally supporting ligatures), consistently available for all my EPUB documents. CSS overriding. 3. Correct hyphenation in Polish, incl. line breaks that don't leave "i", "z", "w", "o", and "u" words in the end of the lines. The third point may be a niche request. However, Polish text with the "i" and "z" in the end of lines looks terrible. I will be really patiently waiting for a firmware version that would make my Firefly even better. (Yes, Google Drive access is what I currently notoriously use.) Last edited by beeblebrox; 12-20-2012 at 08:43 AM. |

Now I see where the problem is. Your device is an ARTATECH device. They lock their devices for ARTATECH updates only. This is why you won't be able to install our updates in the future. |
