Has anyone tried any of the battery saver apps for Android on an ebook reader in response to the battery issues? I wonder if an app were to shut down WiFi and all background processes when the reader is off, and restore them when turned back on, if this would solve much of the battery problems.
I did try installing one program which claims to do this but it doesn't seem to do anything on my Boyue. I'm wondering if any of the other apps which claim to do this will work. |

The recent announcement of the Boyue T63/Shine has made me think a bit more closely about what is the best way to acquire a Boyue product.

I'm a little bit worried though. Looks like these Chinese manufacturers are not very consistent with their build quality... not to mention the software/firmware their devices are running. I think they're being very lazy in this regard since 95% of the hard work is being done by the android base... the remaining 5% of the software tweaks could be fixed by hiring some coders for very little money. China has incredible software engineers, but seems like the government has hir...ed... chatched 'em all and turned 'em hackers. ![]() Back to topic, it also looks like Boyue has an official store, doesn't it?. The site is all in chinese, and takes you to some sort of ebay website (jd.com): http://www.boyue.com/plus/list.php?tid=5 (click the big red button on the top right corner). EDIT: even more confusing, and it's been posted before, but when visiting: http://www.boyue.com/a/ebook/ Just below the little girl there's a "store" rectangular banner/button which takes you to http://boyuesm.tmall.com/ Btw, do you guys know if Boyue provides any warranty with their devices?.

I notice that the Boyue site also contained a link to this site also selling the T61 & T62, but know nothing at all about "jd.com". |

![]() SHAME on them ![]() ![]() ![]() Kobo, Kindle, Energy Pro, Onyx, Boox, Bouye, and all the android/ios apps, shame on you. I look forward to jump on the newcomer that understood what is a decent user experience! At the moment my Sony PRS T 2 works perfect and I do not need you!

However, another strange twist -- right now it doesn't work at all. Short press pages back, long press does nothing, exactly in the same way as Boye's fw stopped to go to timed out sleep after certain time. BTW, regarding going to sleep on timeout -- sometimes this things draws the usual screensaver picture and leaves it there, but sporadically it immediately covers it by just a plain "white silence". Not that it is a big trouble, but what's the heck? I also had some(very weak, though) hope that Onyx fw will enable magnetic sensor and thus magnetic cover will provide automatic sleep–wake up function. Alas, it didn't happen -- probably T62 doesn't have magnetic sensor at all. Last edited by petrovich; 07-02-2015 at 02:48 PM. |

Yes, the "screen refresh button" usually works for me, but not every time. Here's something interesting. I installed the full!screen app, so all my apps can use the full screen. In full screen mode, that scene refresh button doesn't work at all. As soon as I disable full screen in the full!screen app, my refresh button works again. I wonder what the connection is. |
