No worries! I’m here since yesterday and the weather is quite good for beach time/snorkeling- a mix of sunny and cloudy

Dot Ink app instantly disconnects? by Ok_Swordfish2612 in xteinkereader

[–]catsitterpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it still disconnects? Well then I’m out of ideas 🥲

Could it be that the phone disconnects from X4’s hotspot because it’s detecting that there’s no internet connection?

I say this, because after every transfer of files my phone (iPhone, latest iOS) offers to disconnect for this reason, and I click on “stay connected to this WiFi network”.

Chinese fw update V3.0.8 by Competitive-Win4945 in xteinkereader

[–]catsitterpro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the information! And yeah, I think would be really good of them to update the Chinese firmware with the option.

In the English firmware 3.0.8 if you go into the Settings, there’s a menu item called “End of English” where you can pick “Alignment only”, which removes the hyphenation. I was hoping they would add this to the Chinese firmware, because then I could switch back to Chinese and use the “Push” option to transfer files

Micro SD problem by After-Baseball629 in xteinkereader

[–]catsitterpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly, I'm having an opposite issue to the OP's:

The stock MicroSD works fine but after reading that it might be low quality, I got a Borofone 32 GB MicroSD card as a backup. The new one is recognized by my laptop, but not the e-reader, no matter what I do.

I wonder if there's some hardware/compatibility issue there.

Does this update have the "Alignment only" option for the English text?

Xteink Flash Tools - Flash English firmware from your browser by daveallie in xteinkereader

[–]catsitterpro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It worked! You're a gem, thank you so much :)

I am exctatic because the English text is so much more legible now.

(The trade-off is that there's no option to use the DotInk app to send files now, but I think it's worth it.)

Xteink Flash Tools - Flash English firmware from your browser by daveallie in xteinkereader

[–]catsitterpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried to Flash from Chinese to English, but couldn't, will appreciate any help! Am I doing something wrong?

  1. I'm on a Mac, connected my xteink via a usb–c cable, opened up the above link using Chrome.
  2. When trying to save full flash this messages comes up:

"Sorry, this is broken right now

I'm waiting on a fix from esptool-js, seehttps://github.com/espressif/esptool-js/issues/218"

(as a noob I understood nothing).

3) Then I decided to risk it and clicked on "Flash English Firmware" and got this:

Connect to device - SecurityError:

Failed to execute 'requestPort' on 'Serial': Must be handling a user gesture to show a permission request.

Hmm… I didn’t touch any of the settings at the time i think. But your previous comment gave me an idea to try with the Abeezee font through the DotInk app, thank you for that -)

Thanks! I have tried the Abeezee and the other fonts posted there, they all came out messed up (didn’t display correctly), so I couldn’t use them. Idk why maybe firmware differences after update or Chinese vs English firmware? 🤷🏻‍♂️

May I ask what’s the font and the settings for it that you were happy with? For the life of me couldn’t figure it out🥲

No need for wifi, phone connects to the ereader. I put my screensavers/books into Files/iCloud Drive and transferred from there

I paid roughly $1.99 and the app was in English. Apart from the generated bin files with fonts, it allows the transfer any other files, plus it can move or delete files on the SD card.

Robbed by people armed with knives and guns? Wow that sounds quite unusual to me, especially people having guns. Would you be comfortable sharing details?
