Onyx Boox T68 Lynx - brightness way too high on the lowest level

fenbekus · 05-10-2020, 03:44 PM

I know this is probably an ancient device, but that's what I've got and it works pretty well apart from one flaw - it's way too bright, even on the lowest level, making it really uncomfortable to use in the dark. I've seen some folks talk about this issue here but haven't found any solutions. Are there any? Like a custom ROM or maybe I should root the device and then do something?

My device is running on Android 4.0.4 (why are ereaders android versions so old btw?), 2015-01-10_19-50_1.6.3_675c088. I tried updating it OTA but it just gives me an error "i/o failure" or something like that.

Nope. That's how it is. You could try installing an app that has a reverse note mode. Otherwise open it up and inset a resistor. I have no idea how. The touch screen is awful too anyway. Apart from that, a nice e-reader.
