Request Just found my EE -- What's latest build and has eInk Initializing problem been fixed?

[jdm001]

Hi,

I've been on here for a while; but I lost my eDGe about 6-8 months ago in a move... just found it the other day and dusted it off.

I was wondering what the latest golden release is.


Also, I keep getting the eInk stuck "initializing" on my edge. I reflash it and it works flawlessly for a week or two; then starts doing it again.

Here was my last post on it:

Has anyone figured this out? I didn't see any threads as i skimmed through everything that's happened in the last 6 mos.

Any info appreciated!

Hi, jdm001. I only ever had my PE mess up like you are experiencing once. Have you set the device to actually use the SD card for primary storage (under settings -> device storage -> 'data storage device') and not the internal memory? I switched to that after the first time it messed up and haven't had it happen again.

I'd have to look at the EE stuff. I sold mine recently and never really paid much attention to it versus the PE.

Helf, ah okay that helps. I did on the old one and it didn't seem to help. I thought it might be a loose connection; but it would work fine immediately after doing a revert on the OS.

I got another one for $40 off ebay to test it out. While it sometimes goes slow and *looks* like it's going to hang and do the same thing; it refreshes the eink screen and works. I'm using the same exact card (i took it out the old one), and i did a restore from TI Backup on all programs.


I guess it's some type of isolated issue. Frustrating, because I love the eink and the journal for notes in eink too.


Thanks for taking a look!
