Hello Pele,
I haven't experienced the issues you write about .
Our models are different, and I haven't saved a document over 400 KB,
I haven't had problems with long lines of text. Battery life has
always been an issue, and I think other braille input device users
may be surprised at how quickly the batteries drain out. . I turn
off Wireless, usb devices, startup sounds, ethernet, in the hope to
prolong the life of the battery and turn them on when they are
needed. It's a chore though and surely shouldn't be necessary with
modern semi conductor devices and lithium iron cells. But then again
what the hell do i know?
Regards,
Joe

Hi Everyone
I did not know if this list was still functioning, but having seen
the messages about converting files I thought I would ask my questions.
I am using the Braille Sense 32 Plus QWERTY. I upgraded to Version 7
when it came out but had a number of problems:
1. Block and Copy did not copy the whole block. This has since been
identified as a problem by HIMS and they issued a new version to correct it.
2. Sometimes when reading long lines of text in Grade 2 Braille
words were missed. Again, after a lot of correspondence, HIMS have
identified the problem
and say they will correct it in the next version.
3. It sometimes takes minutes to save a long document. This has been
reported to HIMS. A long document means anything over about 400 Kbs.
4. The Battery Level Indicator was not correct, or something in
Version 7 drains the battery really quickly. I have got a new
battery and the problem still
exists. It has been reported to HIMS.
In December I got so fed up that I reverted to Version 6.1 and
everything has been fine.
My husband, who has the same model but did not have the battery
problems, has also reverted to Version 6.1.
Has anyone else had any of these problems? Are they just related to
the QWERTY version?
