Not sure where I should best post a feature request. Maybe via the ViWoods Email as well?

I would very much like to see a hard battery charge limit to 80% or fully customizable.

Benefits: Preserves battery life in the long run and makes doing so easier as the user can keep the phone plugged in.

Take Samsungs charge limiter as an example. It will limit the charge to a user defined setting and will keep the battery at this level permanently while it is plugged in.
However, a simple 80% limit would already be enough for 99.99% of people.

I decided to use my Reader C as my daily commute phone for today and kept track of the battery life. I figured I might as well share the findings, since the battery is quite small.

Connection was via a wifi hot spot, as I do not have a 2nd SIM yet.

No back light was used.
Folio sleep/turn on was enabled, so was bluetooth and wifi during sleep.

6:00 to 7:21 - web browsing, messaging, reading articles, mails, reddit.
99% to 93%

12:48 - checked during lunch, read and answered a few mails, showed to colleagues.
89%

15:11 to 16:10 - mails, articles, youtube (144p back ground playback for audio only).
85% to 77%

I also did a charge test yesterday from 4% to 100% (phone lost 1% over night)
To 25%: 17 minutes
To 50%: 37 minutes
To 75%: 57 minutes
To 80%: 1 hour 2 minutes
To 100%: 1 hour 26 minutes

It pulled 2489 mAh / 12460 mWh to achieve the full charge according to my KM003C.

It does support PD chargers but uses 5V only. 9.1W max.

I actually expected pretty poor battery stats for such a small battery. But this is pretty good.
Yes, sure, this is on a new battery, but still. 30 minutes of back ground youtube with all the other daily tasks used 27%. I find this to be acceptable. This means that I could get 3 days per charge out of this phone for a few years, assuming that the battery holds up well.

Charging is a tad slow, but I consider this to be good (battery health and all).

I know that I can change it in the AI app, but I can not change it in the Learning app.
Runs on GPT-4o only and its veeery slow at even the most basic translation tasks.

So I just got my AiPaper Reader (C) and it is really really neat!

I also got a pack of screen protectors, since I usually apply those to anything with a glass screen.
However, the Reader has a paper like display, so applying a protector would not only remove the feeling from the screen and might also leave some residue after a few months.

Should I apply one or not? I got their flip case as well, its not magnetic but it does the job.

I recently got myself the rmpp Move. I have never seen an e-ink tablet or reader before but I love it. Size and all.
I am not sure what I expected but I went from "maybe I should send it back" to "Im ordering a 2nd one for my work shop".

However, I got two remaining questions and I cant really find anything regarding those.

1: How long do the glass screens last? Do they wear out?
2: How long do the pens themself last? Is there anything on them that will wear out?

Any recommended maintenance tips or things I should absolutely not do (alcohol wipes?)?

After yet another visit from Samsungs Let Me Repair on site service team I finally have a working Neo G9 again.
Mostly.

It has gotten a bit lighter due to every single plastic clip being broken off after all the repair attempts from Samsung lol.

The new panel has one spec of dust stuck on the first layer. But its in a place where it does not bother me.

The FALD grid is very visible to my eyes on any mono color or pastel background. My OG panel was much better here, but it was also dying so...

All in all I finally have a fully working, thought slightly worse looking, Neo G9.
Since a G95SD replaced it for gaming...I now have 2 32:9 screens. One for office, one for gaming.

I always made jokes about using 2 of these in tandem....jokes on me thats what Im using now. Lets all hope I wont come back with a rant about how 2 heavy displays broke my desk xD

The whole process took 3 months.

(I almost wish that they did NOT repair it, cuz then I actually would have gotten all of my money back, seller already agreed to it in case no repairs were possible)

Oh, colors also look a bit different, but I guess thats to be expected.
