Onyx Max 2 cover and guidance
Hi All,
I have two questions which I could not solve on my own on Onyx Boox Max 2 1. How to in easy way jump between reading application (kindle) and native note application? Right now for me it looks like i have to use back key to get out of the application to the main screen and then choose the note application. (Worth to note is fact that I cannot see upper status bar while in kindle app) Perfect scenario for me would be to travel between this 2 applications back and forth to read and make handwritten notes. 2. I have bought onyx boox max 2 original cover and I do not think it works as is should - the device is not waking up when I am opening the lid of the cover. Thank you very much for any answer in advance and sorry for my english. BR. Mateusz |

For 1.
I use an app Buttons remapper where I set the config: Key: MENU -> Action: Recent apps Now when I click the hamburger button (the left-most hardware key) I get the screen with running apps. For 2. I am not aware of any such intelligent cover for Max 2. You can use any cover you like to protect&carry the device but the only way, which I am aware of, to wake up the device is the power button. EDIT: For your usage, I would set the page-left button to launch Notes, page-right to launch Kindle Last edited by plusz; 11-25-2018 at 04:11 AM. |

Have you checked your power management settings? After a certain amount of time in sleep mode, I have mine set so that it will power off. In such a case simply opening the cover would not wake it up. The other thing you might want to look into is the placement of the magnets in the cover which trigger the wake/sleep function. I remember reading that some people were experiencing issues with their Onyx Note covers not working properly. Apparently it had to do with the improper positioning of the magnets in some covers. |

On most Android devices (like phones), "screen off" is only standby and Bluetooth devices and even USB devices might stay connected. Most Eink readers go to a deeper sleep, are not active and only a pushbutton, magnetic cover sensor or plugging in USB will wake them.
I just got a project mostly working, Bluetooth steering wheel controls for my navigation (LCD) tablet. The buttons go directly to apps or specific onboard system status webpages and also volume and brightness. Any button will turn the screen on and one button turns the screen off (KEYCODE_SLEEP). |
