Hi everyone,
Last Wednesday I picked up my shiny new BrailleNote Touch, and while this is
very exciting, it's also a little baffling. I am completely new to keysoft and
android, so I'm sure I'll be flooding the list with questions.
The most pressing things at the moment are my power supply and connecting to
Dropbox. First, the power supply seems to be dodgy, or else I've broken it
somehow. It says to put it in with the two pins facing downward and not to
force it, so I didn't, but its connection to the unit is very loose and it
wobbles about and therefore doesn't seem to be charging consistently. Do I need
to buy another one from Humanware, or can I use another cable with a micro USB
charger, like the one I have for my bluetooth keyboard.
The second thing is I need quite urgently to connect to my dropbox account. I
downloaded the dropbox app, and when I open it it asks me to sign in, so I give
it my email and password. I get an email on my iPad to say that I have
connected an Android device to dropbox, but on the BrailleNote I just get
tossed back into the main menu. Dropbox doesn't open.
I have a dropbox account for myself, and a google drive account for work, and
on my iPad I use a program called AirFile which allows me to have the two
accounts together logged into the one app, so I can move files between them. I
thought I might need a similar app for the BrailleNote, so I downloaded one
called Rainbow Drive. Again, when I give it my dropbox details to connect it, I
get an email from dropbox saying this has happened, but Rainbow Drive tells me
that connection to dropbox failed.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd very much like to hear them. And just as an aside,
I downloaded Kindle and the BrailleNote won't let me sign into that either,
which is very disappointing as I'm very eager to give that a go :)
Thanks,
