Onyx Boox - Testing beta versions of firmware

Attached Image


Device Description:Good day!

In order not to throw all the firmware in one pile, we decided that it would be nice to create a separate topic for testing beta versions of new firmware, which Onyx regularly sends us. It is known that here on the forum there are many enthusiasts and fans to test this or that software. Some do not want to wait until posting a release, and it would be interesting to explore more or less normal beta versions (one of which may well become a release). In addition, it is possible that someone will notice those bugs or shortcomings that we can skip for any reason.

We decided to postbeta firmware for a range of devices.

The most important changes are the increase in battery life and the disconnection of any additional services and programs when not in use. They are enabled when this option is called and disabled when it is closed.

Attention: If you have a Monte Cristo 1, Vasco da Gama 1 or Robinson Crusoe 1, check if there is an extended memory section for applications. If not, you must first flash the device firmware, expanding this section of memory. This firmware will be issued in technical support:https://onyx-boox.ru/contact
To check the volume of the memory section for applications Go to Settings - Applications - Application Settings - Application Management. And there you can look at the memory data, if the total amount (busy + free) is about 800 MB or more, then the extended partition doesn’t need to be used with the above firmware.

Installing beta firmware
1. Download the firmware file to the desktop.
2. Charge the device battery to at least 50%.
3. Copy the zip file, without removing it from the archive, to the device in the root directory of the internal memory via a USB cable. Then unplug the cable.
4. Connect a mains charger.
5. Go to Settings>About the device>System updates>Check for updates in memory.
6. There will be a question about confirming the desire to update the system. Click "Update."
7. The firmware will start. Lasts about 5 minutes.
8. If the system menu appears in the process, select Reboot now with the paging buttons and confirm the selection by pressing the Power button.
9. Wait for the user interface to load.
10. Delete the firmware installation file after the reader is loaded.
11. After carrying out the firmware procedure for Google Play to work correctly, it is recommended to reset your personal data.

We will be grateful for the feedback on the firmware and reports on errors and defects found.
Installing these firmware does not entail the cancellation of the warranty. If something happens to your device after installing one of these firmwares, please write to tech support -https://onyx-boox.ru/contact. We ask you to follow the instructions for updating the firmware exactly.

It would be time to noodles fromOnyx Russiashake from the ears, but change the reader:


Samplesolutions to problems with this unworthy thing MK3:

In the DNS SC from {{{{{{{}}}}}}}

During the operation of the optional ONYX Boox Monte Cristo 3 purchased on order В-xxxxxx from 2018-01-24, at least 5 significant deficiencies (out of ten) were revealed:
Hardware:
1) LED-indicator does not perform functions - it does not indicate the end of the charge process - it is always red;
2) The touchscreen at the bottom of the screen suddenly loses sensitivity, in NeoReader it worries a lot;
3) The battery charge controller gives the OS an obviously incorrect data - the charge can fall overnight from 40% to 10%, and then the book works at 1% or 2% for almost a day;
4) Autonomy in sleep mode is 55-60% lower than the declared Onyx (Google framework is disabled, Google services are turned off, the backlight is off and wireless modules);
5) Wi-Fi does not work at all (sees 2-3 networks from 17-18 visible by any other users, falls off 6 meters from the router, traffic 20-40 kb - then a pause for half a minute, etc.);
Software (month in November stock, 2 weeks on February recommended beta onyx, the behavior is the same):
6) The Settings applet periodically crashes;
7) The applet screen keyboard periodically crashes;
8) The shell does not allow the reader to fall asleep completely and for a long time, then a non-switchable OTA appears, then a certain service with hieroglyphs, then in Workers, then in a cache, differently, when taking out of sleep and checking the state of RAM, which is clearly not in favor of autonomy The beta version recommended by Onyx carries no improvements, I could freeze the gapps myself;
Cover:
9) Either a magnet or reader wake-up sensor is inadequate and unstable, and pressing the magnet with a deflection in the middle of the right cut of the cover (as was out of the box) is spoiling the look of an expensive device, and the protective cover should have a gap above the glass;
10) On the cover material, spots appear on their own, then to the left of the logo (such as yellow salt, it appears periodically, after two or three days, is removed with a wet wipe), then darkening to the right, emerging from the depth of the unpainted polymer structure, is not a greasy stain although it seems.
Buyer requirement:
Due to the fact that ALL major components and components - a touch screen, a board with an integrated Wi-Fi module, a battery with an incorrect controller, and even a cover, have drawbacks, their repair / replacement is useless, and also due to the fact that the manufacturer does not since November 2017, I can put the firmware in order (beta testing is not my responsibility), I need to return the money to me. The grounds are the preamble and clause 1 of Article 20 of the Consumer Protection Act “cannot be eliminated by taking measures to eliminate it in order to bring the goods in compliance with the mandatory requirements”. Extremely raw and unsuitable for massive sales device released Onyx.

Ordered in the Monte-Cristo 3, we will look. I read the reviews - all onyxes are polluted. although the very first Darwin has served faithfully for many years - I also wanted this book. All Russians are not happy with everything, except for their beloved president, I am amazed.

* Sammo86,
I spat on my Darwin 3 for a long time and cursed until the normal firmware finally came out. Now I have no complaints about the book at all. And before that there were regular dependencies, non-shutdown shutdowns and battery charger

It is a pity that the update did not come to MC1. In general, in the end I switched to PB for now (not because of this, of course, but in general, I want more from the manufacturer) ...

Good day. Interested in the question, but will there be updates on Robi 2? I downloaded the update offered here and noticed the incorrect operation of the touchscreen. In some places, it stopped responding altogether. Updating of pages all the same happens after certain scrolling, at a tick "never".
The rest is in test mode.

In the update to which the link is given, the touchscreen does not work correctly for me personally. In some places it does not work at all. The page is updated in random order, regardless of which of the items is ticked! For example, on page 2, although there is no such item.
With vibro, this is generally a song !!!
Initially, the vibro response does not work or is triggered late, and then in standby or reading mode it “remembers” that there were touches and starts to work out !! And with such a frequency as if he remembers how many times there have been pressing !!!
I regret that I decided to upgrade at all.
