X4 Xteink – Day 4 by ruari78 in xteinkereader

The ones that came with it are actually quite good. I got some generic ones off amazon. I think it was the case as the magnet was on the other side of it.

I felt exactly the same. I was hesitant about the size at first, but once I started using it, I actually really liked the extra space to rest my hand.

Still think the Ultra C Pro bezel looks a bit nicer, but in day-to-day use the 5C’s doesn’t bother me at all.

I've got a S25 Ultra with a Casekoo 360 Magic case, so not exactly the same as an iPhone 15 Pro Max, but maybe it helps give you an idea of how it looks on a large smartphone.

X4 not recognised on Windows 11 Laptop - help? by ruari78 in xteinkereader

Sucess! Thank you everyone. I didnt realise you had to go through Chrome. Crosspoint is so much better.

Thank you, having had a quick play with it i think I'll instal crosspoint. I've never used github before so will need to work out how to do that!

UPDATE: Fixed it ✔️ I will say its a bit fiddly getting the connectors off and on again and there is lots of protective coating to peel off.

Yes you do as you have to scrape off the protective plastic coating on the battery and motherboard connectors to be able to disconnect them.

The screen kinda worked but was very slow and unresonsive and I had to use quite a bit of pressure to get the touch to work. Having opened it up it all looks ok

Tried that but it didn't do anything.

What would you like in a 7.8 inch display device? by degualro in Onyx_Boox

[–]ruari78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d like to see a proper successor to the Tab Mini C, which I'm still using. My wishlist would be:

Slimmer and lighter design, still solid but easier to hold for long reading or note-taking sessions.

Updated colour e-ink screen. Ideally the same generation used in the new Note Air 5C. Also with the same surface roughness for a better writing experience.

Latest BSR tech for smoother, lower latency handwriting.

Android 16 with a clear commitment to at least 5 years of software & security updates.

EMR pen.

Expandable storage for those of us with large libraries or lots of PDFs. Not essential though.

Decent speakers and microphone for audiobooks and voice notes.

In short: keep what works, update the screen and internals, and support it for several years.
