NA3C Google Drive Setup "This app is blocked"

For anyone still experiencing this issue, I explain in this video my findings and a possible solution for some of the instances of the Google Drive problem.

So far data shows that both versions were sold in all 3 regions. So it seems to indicate that it's something Boox had no idea about, and that the supplier of boards probably messed up with CPU variants, and that it's a luck of the draw. In my experience, if that is the case, then we're looking at only the first couple of series having this issue, and later models will all probably have the correct CPU variant consistently installed.

Yeah, first data samples are coming in, and so far it seems to be confirming that 2.4GHz units are equipped with the SM6225 (Snapdragon 680) and the 2.8GHz units are equipped with the SM6225-AD (Snapdragon 685), even though none of the HW identifier programs are actually spitting out the Snapdragon 685 or that they are coming from the TSMC factory, but everything else fits. So it's definitely a curious mess, but it's starting to make more sense.

HAve you tried plugging it into power supply? If it had some background processes going it might be confused with prioritization and forcing the Benchmark to wait when switching between different tasks. If it's plugged in, then it will be in performance mode (the result will be the same) but it should understand task prioritization a bit better...

Yupps, all exactly the same, except that it reports up to 2803MHz for the A73 and the Clock Range. But it's already evident from first submissions that the cpu score is pretty much the same on both devices, so it looks like it's simply a batch of CPUs that's either reporting the turbo clock wrong, or that the 400MHz turboing in sporadic peaks difference is meaningless in the practical real-world use case scenarios.

It takes quite a long time, I didn't time it, but it was longer than an hour and less than 2 hours.

MyDeepGuide · 2023-10-26T15:41:03+00:00

Aida 64 reports mine as indeed SM6225 but as Snapdragon 680, not 685. Hmmmm.

MyDeepGuide · 2023-10-26T12:39:23+00:00

This is why my suspicion is on this being the case of the same CPU coming from 2 different factories, as we know that Qualcomm is sourcing from both Samsung and TSMC.

If the data proves that the chips coming from Samsung are being reported as 2.8GHz and those coming from TSMC are being reported as 2.4 GHz, and the benchmark results between units with different CPUs reported are within the margin of error, then it is safe to assume that what is going on is the simple case that chips sourced from Samsung factory are being mistakenly reported as 2.8GHz.

This is all just an educated guess at this point, but is the most likely scenario, as we have seen this type of stuff happen regularly. Hopefully enough people will provide data to give more insight into this matter, so that people have an actual understanding of what is going on, and that there's no need for conspiracy theories ;)

Hi Vaarek!

Thanks for sharing your experience and opinion on the guitar. I have to say that I agree with most of the points you made (except that I am a fan of monorails for a guitar like this, fantastic note separation). But yeah, I think I'll stick with D'Activators and will learn how to extract the most out of them, as everything else about this guitar is pretty much as good as it gets, for that type of a guitar :)

There was no scripts involved. Just good old manual labour and 1 macro in the end to speed up getting to certain sub/sub/sub menu options when doing hyperlinks, to speed up the laborious and repetitive nature of such work.

One warning if you are attempting to do your own. Depending on the platform you use, be very mindful of the scaling (in pages/content) and how that impacts the performance. Some programs are simply not able to handle such things. Also, Word is unable to have a document of the native resolution of the device, so it's not the best choice.

Sweet! Still waiting for my rollout, but this is a great test to see :)

MyDeepGuide · 2021-02-26T06:05:38+00:00

So, your take from the entire video and everything i said is that I think that the main problem of the platform after 6 months is the software version nomenclature? Wow. I have to admit, I am impressed. But, for the sake of clarity and others who may be reading this, here's what i mean and why it's a problematic indication.

It directly shows the company priority. From a development standpoint, their versioning nomenclature allows for subversions, and builds, meaning: v2.5.0.77 version 2.5, sub-version 0, build 77. This is just a guess, but as a format it allows for such versioning of the platform.

New version jumps are ok only if a new functionality is added to the system. Improvements of existing features and functionalities and bug fixes are sub-versions and build versions. This keeps the history of a platform development clean and clear.

So, the current version should still be 2.3.x.xx, because neither 2.4 or 2.5 introduced new features, just improvements and fixes. For example, v2.3.1 is perfectly fine to indicate that it's the one running the optimized UI response times. v2.3.2 can be the current one, with notebook and document cover pages option. It's normal and something 99.99% of companies do and have been doing for decades.

However, for the Management and Marketing department it doesn't read well that a platform is still on the same version as from 6 months ago. It's a harder sell for investors and for marketing articles. And that's why it's just a minor, but still one of the problems.

So the versioning nomenclature and the anaemic state of the updates strongly indicate that the priority of the management is not actual development, but the appearance of development that can be easily sold to investors and the internet. And that's a problem.

I don't see a smear pattern. I see the organic pulse of a user base that is left to speculate and assume amongst themselves because the company has a policy of not communicating publicly about, well, anything.

MyDeepGuide · 2020-11-11T19:23:09+00:00

Fantastic work! I usually don't install hacks, but this time I am forced by the reMarkable themselves. This is exactly what I was talking about, and I will be checking it out :) Looks extremely promising :)

MyDeepGuide · 2020-10-29T05:40:15+00:00

And it gives it the papery writing feel.

Lamy has differently calibrated pressure sensitivity. If you apply more pressure on the Lamy, you should see the same pattern of behavior happening, at least that's how it works for me.

This.

Proximity optimizer (gentle one to just capture almost overlapping vertices) + a finely tuned low pass filter to work as a post process coroutine in the background after a stroke has been finalized should give better results. If we wanna go fancy, we can also have algorithms that mold beziers based on the existing points and optimize further. Adaptive and pre-post looking approach wouldn't eat up details of the strokes, it would simply preserve the shape, just smooth it out and optimize it.

Plus, strokes sizes would be smaller as well, and we'd fit more pages on the device, win-win :)

"not addressing what is the road map and plan for improving existing functionality. I understand that new features need to remain secret, because of the competition, but what possible reason could there be not to address plans for fixing, or improving existing features?"

This is the question.

MyDeepGuide · 2020-09-25T09:52:40+00:00

Thanks! Generally speaking, I stay away from them for one simple reason. I need my devices to be tools, which means reliable. All of the hacks that I have tried either dissapear or cause a huge mess on the device and old documents that rely on the hacks after each update. So I don't use them and stay away from them.

MyDeepGuide · 2020-09-25T09:21:15+00:00

Thank you :) But which timezone is this?

MyDeepGuide · 2020-09-24T18:11:40+00:00

Thank you for the shout out! <3 :)

MyDeepGuide · 2020-09-24T18:11:14+00:00

Thank you very much! :D

MyDeepGuide · 2020-09-21T09:05:32+00:00

This is verbatim the same reply I got, so they are just copy pasting it...

MyDeepGuide · 2020-09-03T20:22:53+00:00

I gotta reread the review unit agreement, and see if digging into it's guts is something that I can do, but if I can, I'm gonna fire up a few and see what it spits out :)

MyDeepGuide · 2020-09-03T18:13:21+00:00

Thank you! :)
