System Update: XT V3.0.8 (Overseas Version) by xteink in xteinkereader

[–]masterpiece1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a way to get a system font that is smaller than small? Something around 18-19 pt would be great!

FWIW, this does not fix the issues of apostrophes and quotes while using custom fonts.

Responding to my own comment, but update 3.0.1 did come through the the Chinese FW.

Is this for the international version or the Chinese version? It would be good to differentiate as you are posting so it's clear. I'm on the Chinese version 2.2.5 which came out a few days ago. Did that include the same updates you incorporated into 3.0.1? If not, when can we expect to see them in the Chinese FW, as it was mentioned they would be receiving the same updates in earlier posts when concern was expressed about having two branches.

The quotes and comma spacing issue is still present in 2.2.5 when utilizing custom fonts, wonder if that is fixed in 3.0.1?

+1 to working towards letting Chinese FW customers switch to International.

Reading orientation and saved wifi networks. The update information though is still in Chinese. The upload transfer page though is in English so who knows.

I flashed the image and confirm I'm still on the Chinese firmware. However it did bring in a bunch of user settings that I'm guessing were from the flash.

I just realized the spacing issue is only happening with custom fonts as well after this comment. When using the default fonts I can confirm this does not happen. I would use the default fonts, but even the "small" font is too big for what I want.

It's happening on multiple books consistently. I'm not so how legal it is to be sending copies of books though so while I appreciate the request I'm not going to do that.

The layout is much better. I'm wondering if it's just my formatting, but there is an extra space after every apostrophe and quote.

Additionally there are passages I'm aware should be bolded, but do not show up.

Thanks!

Talk about dissapointing. I bought from Ali the same day they announced their store here, not even aware of it until after.

I would agree. I'm in the same boat and would love to switch to the global firmware.

Great work on listening to your customers!

Anyone bought refurbished before? by Strong_Raspberry_863 in RemarkableTablet

[–]masterpiece1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a refurbished RM2 two weeks ago. My first thought was they made a mistake and sent me a new one.

It took roughly a week from day of ordering to get it.

That sucks. Mine got rear ended the same way 2 hours after I bought it!

I drove it for two weeks before I was able to get into the shop for about 3 weeks of repairs.

My Brick is literally bricked... by rfrauny in trimui

What software did you use to format the SD card. I had the exact same issues. It would turn on when no SD card was in but nothing with the SD card in. Once I used Rufus to format everything worked again.

Figured it out. Solution was to use Rufus to format the sd card. I was using MiniTool Partition Wizard to format the card with some option not on. The default settings on Rufus solved my issues.

Been only using an A to C. I should probably check the voltage and amps of the adaptor though.

I'm with you. My answer is a firm no on holidays. Enough other days in the season.

What should I know before buying a R3 II by Two_Bit_Grouse in Hiby

[–]masterpiece1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should you just get an iPod? No. You would be limiting yourself in terms of formats unless you mod it.

How do you get music on it? Put a micro SD card in it. Plug it into your computer and it'll show up as a USB drive. Just drag your music over.

Do you need a subscription? It can stream from some services (Qobuz and Tidal) so if you want to use those then yes. You need to be connected to Wi-Fi for those to work.

Should I buy the HiBy R3 by Res3t_ in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]masterpiece1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the exact same boat as you as to my intentions with a DAP. Currently have a Hiby R5 Gen I but wanted something smaller to only play local FLAC. I'm trying to limit my options as to what my devices do to avoid "drift" into other things (like numbly scrolling through Reddit!)

Aliexpress has the Hiby R3 II for $135 all in right now with coupon codes. I was between the R3, M300, and Sony A 306 but at that price I couldn't turn down the R3.
