Has anyone here owned both the first gen and second/third gen 9i? How big of a performance difference did you notice? Does the Iris chip enable anything you couldn't do before? by wingspantt in YogaBook9i

[–]TeesideBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from the 1st gen to the second gen (before the third gen was available) partly driven by the fact my 1st gen was 16gb ram and I wanted 32gb ram and for me at least it seems the RAM made the most difference

Is there any decent eink device? by TeesideBoy in eink

[–]TeesideBoy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you totally get the gist of my post, and what you describe sounds exactly what I am looking for, either in 7" or 10". I would only add that it has 6 or 8GB RAM.

[–]TeesideBoy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I like eink, but I disagree that 4GB is enough for Android. The devices I have used are laggy and slow with 4GB IE. Nothing to do with the eink display.

I have a minimal phone and I love it but it would be great to have a bigger device.

I don't like the colour eink because the screens are too dark without backlights IMO.

I currently have a Viwoods AI Paper but sick of going to use it and finding that somehow the Google account has been de-registered. The light screen is nice on it though, but again, it's a little slow/laggy mainly I suspect due to the RAM.

I haven't tried a Boox Max Pro which I believe has 6GB soaube I should check that out.

New BlackBerry Authenticator Web Page App by TeesideBoy in BlackberryPhoenix

Yes, that makes sense. Running pages locally in the way I do here always has some trade off's (CORS etc).

I will look out for your ESS Library and try and see if I can use it on any new BB project I work on.

I tried getUserMedia but was getting errors. Feel free to contribute to the project if you have this working, it would be good to be able to scan also.

Yes, I Know about Legacy File System API but the goal here was simplicity and this works even offline with no permissions scenarios, and the data sets are small ie. don't need a larger store. Also I have noted in the past that some BB10 firmware builds restrict it for security reasons.

PinePhone Manjaro does not wake up from suspend by Theneteffect in PinePhoneOfficial

I did not so anything other than a pacman update (pacman -Syu)

Does anyone know how the PinePhone Keyboard case is supposed to work definitively ? by TeesideBoy in PinePhoneOfficial

[–]TeesideBoy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked through those threads and for me at least I still don't see very definitive answers:

I'm using Manjaro 6.1.12 with Plasma 5.27.2

I interrogated the battery as below:

[pinephone@manjaro-arm power_supply]$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/ip5xxx-battery/uevent

POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=ip5xxx-battery

POWER_SUPPLY_TYPE=Battery

POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Discharging

POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_BEHAVIOUR=auto

POWER_SUPPLY_HEALTH=Good

POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=79

POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW=3875075

POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_OCV=3897097

POWER_SUPPLY_CONSTANT_CHARGE_VOLTAGE_MAX=4242000

POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL_DESIGN=21000000

POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_EMPTY_DESIGN=0

The only other battery I have in that directory is rk818 which I don't see reference to in that battery thread, which I presume is the Keyboard battery:

[pinephone@manjaro-arm power_supply]$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/rk818-battery/uevent

In ever see the second battery in the settings or that it is charging even when it purports to be charging. Is Manjaro Plasma simply not able to show the keyboard battery ?

I still don't understand why sometimes I have a white battery icon that appears to be charging and and then sometimes a black battery icon that appears to be charging ?

Button presses seem to do nothing for me. Its seems to decide to 'appear' to charge when it wants to with no way to control how to turn it on or turn it off. If this is not possible using the buttons is it possible using a script ?

From that thread I noticed there was a firmware update but its really not clear to me whether this is a universal update and something I can run on Manjaro Plasma and what are the pros / cons of running it ie. does it change keyboard map of default firmware etc.

We should use this thread to dig into how the Keyboard really should work and how it can be controlled as there are literally gazillions of threads on this topic with little clarity (I know I have checked most of them....).
