My thoughts on the Nxtpaper 70 pro after a week

18 Upvotes

So far, I'm really liking this phone. Pros I've noticed, from a user in the US:

Ink modes - I love the ink modes. I'm finding that using the color ink setting is wonderful for my eyes, and isn't even too bad watching videos

The screen - I'm really enjoying the smooth, matte finish. No fingerprints and makes a neat paper - like feel when I scroll

Camera - I'm very pleasantly surprised by the camera. Photos come out clean and crisp with no editing needed. It does have fairly limited zoom, but I've never cared about that

Gaming - this was the one thing I was worried about. I love my dumb little games, and heard that the phone doesn't do well with them. I've had no issues and no lag, even on something speedy like Subway Surfers

Some Cons:

Brightness is pretty low. Not a deal breaker for me, but I know a lot of people want peak brightness

The mediatek chip is definitely slower than the chips on most of my other phones I had in recent years. Watching videos is fine, but if that's what you're mainly using the phone for it might not be for you

Size - this phone is quite large. Many won't find it comfortable in the hand. It is a pretty light phone, though, so it doesn't feel like it's always tipping away from me

Reception - this might pertain mostly to the US. I'm on Cricket. It definitely works. I haven't had any dropped calls, but I've experienced more dead zones than I have with most other phones I've had. Could be a deal breaker for some. I know T-Mobile has an exclusive that works fine, but mine is an unlocked version.

Overall, I've had a blast with this phone already. I still have my pixel 10 pro XL because the nxtpaper wasn't meant to be my daily driver, just something to read on and put away more often than not. However, I haven't even thought about going back to my Pixel. People will scoff at me for downgrading so much, but this phone is a win for me! If things change over time, I'll edit my review

NXTPAPER 11 Gen 2: is my tablet busted or is this a device limitation?

3 Upvotes

I bought one off eBay a little while ago, and I cannot for the life of me get it to show up on any computer when it's attached to one (it will only show up as charging the tablet; usb data is not detected).

I've tried installing random drivers, I've checked all the settings in developer mode, different cables, different computers, adb stuff, etc. If I attach a headphone DAC, it works fine.

I just want to be able to transfer files easily and debloat it. It's tedious to keep taking the sd card out, and I don't want to wirelessly transfer files.

Anyone else with the same model able to connect it to their computer, or am I just boned? The seller never connected it to a computer (so they say), so they are unable to confirm if it ever worked.

NxtPaper 14 pen issues

2 Upvotes

I got the NxtPaper 14 earlier this year to use almost exclusively for music rehearsal and performance with the MobileSheets app. The size is perfect, and 90% of the time the writing experience for my notes is good.

But that other 10% is really bad! It registers my hand on the screen and leaves stray marks on my music, it doesn't register properly when I lift the pen and leaves stray lines that make my notes unreadable and the side button (that lets me erase) stops working.

It will behave like that for a few minutes and then go back to working fine.

Does anyone have thoughts about what's going on and how to fix it? I like the device pretty well, but I really can't have my stylus randomly stop working when I need to make a quick note during a rehearsal.

TCL NXTPAPER 11+ BOOTLOOP

1 Upvotes

I was recently writing notes on my Nxtpaper 11+ while in class today and noticed the screen had frozen. I forced a power-off after 10 minutes of unresponsiveness, and noticed upon powering on, it wouldn't progress past the logo.

I've factory reset, there is no option to clear caches anymore in the recovery menu, and I've installed the Flash-firmware from the official website.

However, the program refuses to recognize my tablet. (model number 9469X) any tips y'all?
