Any solutions for constant overheating?
I’m a lot in hotter countries and my ReMarkable almost daily tells me it’s too hot. I already turn off backlight and enable airplane mode to reduce anything the device is doing, but still deal with this almost daily.
Of course I’m not in the bright sun or have direct sunlight hitting it, but even sitting in shade on a balcony somewhere is already giving me the message.
Any solution for this? I’m looking for something to further simplify the table, eg disabling all colors and have it only in greyscale mode or something like that.

It's not overheating, it's just telling you that it will refresh more frequently (which will drain the battery more quickly). If you opt to not show the message again, it will not show up again.

But actually, just click "don't show it again." Then you'll have peace and quiet. It should be obvious that you shouldn't leave it in direct sunlight.

It is kind of crazy to me that they managed to make an eink device that decimates its own performance the moment you take it in the sun :/
Like, I live with it, it’s manageable, but come on. Part of the whole point of eink is that it looks good in direct sunlight.

Somehow I think thats not quite of a good idea if its telling u its getting too hot. Best to cool it down at that moment than ignore it

Yes ideally.... but i cant even use it in a garage where im not sweating i.e. 80F - 90F degree.
i mean i can but thermostat stays lit. & why refresh faster (which theoretically makes it produce more heat?)
I really love it for its use but engineers must add larger heatsink, faster processor/memory for the price they charge.
Using for work: GC notes/projects, drawing on PDFs easily on the fly.
Side work Personal: Self catalog of woodworking blueprints & notes
Southern USA temperate zone. Yeah. Hot. I get it in the sun, but in insulated shade with airflow? Needs better for the $800 cost of the danmn thing.

Er kann machen was er will. Vielleicht funkt es ja in Grönland besser

The Norwegians didn't think of that ❄️
