On November 26th, 2024, Elo will release a new OS update for its Android 12 devices. This update includes feature enhancements and bug fixes that will improve the performance and usability of these devices. This update will be available for download on the EloView cloud portal as a dropdown OTA and will become the default OTA download on EloView and OEMConfig as of December 3rd, 2024. Please reach out to your Elo support contact for any additional questions or to request access to a direct download of this update.
New features and enhancements:
- Added support for the SCO profile on I-Series 4 Standard devices to enable low-latency, high-quality voice data transmission for real-time audio communication.
- Added support for a screensaver feature in multi-app mode allowing a background application to automatically launch and display content after a predefined period of inactivity.
- Resolved an issue where web apps were failing to receive un-dock events when switching from extended to built-in displays.
- Resolved an issue where I-Series 4 devices displayed a screensaver with a 'content failed to download' message due to a ‘NameNotFoundException’ related to WebView updates.
- Resolved an issue where Elo M50 devices experienced connectivity problems with Wi-Fi networks using 802.11r.
- Added API support for the following:
- Manage access to manage Hotspot and tethering setting in Android settings.
- Manage the Android status bar. When disabled, the status bar remains visible but unresponsive to swipes. When enabled, it is fully interactive.
- Manage Charging Sounds and Vibration settings, adjusting system preferences for audio and haptic feedback when charging.
- Provide Accessibility Service to assist users with disabilities in using Android devices and apps.
- Read the Auto Idle mode setting from the device to adjust app behavior based on display timeout settings.
- Read the Touch Sound setting to detect if touch feedback sounds are enabled.
- Set and read Screen Locking Sounds, controlling the audio feedback for screen locking and unlocking.
As always, your devices will never prompt for an update or auto-update. Once the update is available, devices can be updated from the EloView Portal or at the device-level from the EloView Control Panel.
