Hi folks, particularly HumanWare developers, Well, just testing Apex to verify features sets. The WiFi is very good, so is Bluetooth, USB, SD and so forth. However, I've encountered some issues with KS9.0.534 (yes, Peter, I can confirm your observations.). some of them are:
. When attempting to copy subdirectories, the message "class does not exist" is displayed. . After copying files and folders to restore mPower data, the next time Keymail is used to send email, "access is denied" appears. This is when the target folders (those on the Apex) is unprotected. . When playing single track media files, the RIGHT ARROW scroll button does not work as expected (move towards end of the file). I bet this is mainly used to go to last file in the playlist. . If a user types fast (such as I am), you may find yourself either making typos or at somewhere else (for instance, invoking Search when pressing SPACE with F when the user meant F followed by a single space). . It is impossible to revert back the sounds to factory defaults. Previously under mPower and other platforms, it was possible to revert the user-modified sounds to default ones via Hard Reset (I mean those modified thanks to our "hacks"). Under Apex, when a user loads a Windows folder on the Flash Disk that has a wav named "startup.wav" or other wav corresponding to Apex sounds, the next time the user performs Warm Reset, "system files need updating" will be displayed. Up to this point, it is okay; however, when attempting to revert these sounds back to default set, you'll find that it is impossible to do it (neither reinstalling KeySoft nor Clear Settings Reset did not help). . When using USB keyboards, ESC key does not work. Also, the annoying F10 problem is gone (you can use this keystroke to go to KeyWeb; also, you can use Windows key to go to Main Menu). . Under File Manager/Directory, the help says that there is KeySoft System Disk (with no way of accessing it). . KeyMail: The thing that Frank mentioned is called Sender to address List (S) under Email Action Menu. This allows a user to add the email sender to the Address List. . When the "extensions" folders or files such as Oxford folder for the Dictionary are deleted (even by accident, as I tried), there's no way to get those back. This is because these are stored under Flash Disk, which exposes them to unintentional file operations, such as accidental deletion. . When you access SDW (Software Distribution website) with your Apex's serial number (the last six digits) with the password "frog1," the site says invalid serial number. . There might be a possible confusion with the Read Me files (both under Apex's Flash and the one on the Companion CD). The one under apex says 9.0.0 versus 9.0.1 found under the Companion CD. Maybe there IS 9.0.1 (maybe being tested by HW at the moment). . No more "virtual memory is below certain percent" warnings. The peak VM usage was 4% (80 MB). . When the battery is removed with the Apex powered on, it still operates. . The annoying contraction problem is still there when composing an instant message. Words such as "but," "can" and similar, which uses one letter contractions are treated as single letter if it is followed by three dots (.). Well, I understand that it is due to the fact that it is essentially KS8.0 under the newer OS. I can also sympathize with HW, which worked hard to ensure compatibility between CE6 and KS code. Well, as any user says, "I hope these would be resolved soon." Cheers, Joseph ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
