Has anyone as of yet figured out how to force a screen refresh quickly? Haven't had too many issues not refreshing correctly.
One issue that is bugging me for example, in Koreader Night mode, for some reason the screen doesn't flash. I read on their site someone had made a ticket for this issue but the developer wasn't able to find much on the Boyue OS. |

Is it possible to open books directly from the HOME screen in other reader apps?
I installed Moon+ Reader, because if I changed the font on the default reader the spacing between letters and words went crazy. Under: User Settings>Apps>Moon Reader>Open by Default, I set it to 'Open Supported Links', but clicking books on the HOME screen still opens them in the default reader, is it possible to change this? Thanks. |

Yes, but it's not worth the trouble. I have the books set to open in Moon+Reader, but it does not display how far along i am in a book, the back arrow returns to the books view instead of to my Moon+Reader library, and when I go to my Moon+Reader library, it has not updated how far along I am in a book. To keep this information current, I have to regulary open books from the Moon+Reader library and just ignore the books view.

Is 128gb for the micro sd card a hard limit or the biggest suggested size before the ereader struggle to read whatever is on it?

Using Notepad Free, I wrote a text file on my Likebook Mars. When I connected it to my computer, I could not find my text file. I copied and pasted the content to another text editor, but that didn't help. I then installed AndrOpen Office, pasted the content there, created a directory called Documents, and saved the file there. But when I connected to my computer, I could not see the Documents directory. So I disconnected, ran AndrOpen Office, loaded the file from the Documents directory, and saved it to the pre-existing Downloads directory. But when I connected to my computer again, I could not find my file. Why are files I write to my Likebook Mars not showing up when I connect it to my desktop? How can I access them when I plug my Likebook Mars into my Windows 7 computer?

I haven't got a larger card to test with, but I'd be surprised if you wouldn't be able to use a larger size card just as well. I had readers that were billed to support 32gb which worked just fine with 64GB.

I look forward to my Likebook Mars, which I ordered during 11.11 and I have some questions about additional equipment:
1. Is it better to buy a Bluetooth keyboard or a keyboard on a radio receiver via USB OTG? Which will absorb less batteries? Can I have a keyboard and headphones connected via Bluetooth at the same time (use them at the same moment)? 2. Could anyone think about a grip, so that the Likebook could be used as a screen when writing? Maybe the original cover can be used as a "stand"? 3. Are there any available screen protectors? Many thanks for possible help! |

-Good questions for the grip. Could use two Gripzilas if you want to stay ultraportable or a plastic version of that Anker fold up stand would work if you need multiple angles and lightweight. -I saw one for the Aura One which would be the screen area. |

Got the device, formatted a 128GB Sandisk as part of internal memory without issues. Also getting rid of animations using Developer mode (press build number 5x times) helped. IIRC if a phone can take a 128GB card, it should be able to handle a 2TB Microsd without issues when those come out. It's a similar situation with my LG V20.
However, I cannot add my Google account yet. I try adding via Settings -> Accounts and Google Play Services keeps crashing. Build is 1.0.2-2018092813. Ideas? Do I use a Google play apk and force it into the sd card? Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIkQ...ature=youtu.be helped me find it. Basically I have to enable Google Frameworks in another buried menu. Crazy. Last edited by FastFingers; 11-16-2018 at 07:49 PM. |

The manual update came from a link that the Amazon seller sent me. It was designed to expire within three days after I received it, so it's long gone now.
Who sold you the Likebook Mars? They should be able to send you a link. |

Droidedit is simple but there are "problems" with the e-ink which may be due to the screen setting of some sort which doesn't appear on a tablet. For my setting, there are 2 "blank" lines above the text entry area. The 1st "blank" line has a dropdown menu about 1/3 or 1/4 of the way from the right side panel. The dropdown allows one to create/name a folder 1st before asking for create/name a file. Regarding, Droidvim need to have more info as I tried save to a folder but so far, unsuccessful. |
