I have read that there is a way to disable the touch screen on the Oasis2. I cannot find the setting. When I touch the 3 dots on the screen, I do not see option to disable.
Probably, if you leave it connected to WiFi.Jane917 said:My Oasis2 just arrived todAy, but I guess I do not have the new update. Will it update automatically?
These things tend to roll out over time. So some get it right away and some weeks later. It's available on the website if you want to download it and update manually. With some updates that had desired features I've done that . . .it's pretty easy and explained on the software update page.Jane917 said:My new Oasis2 was on the charger all night with the wifi on. Still no update this morning. My device still shows that I have 5.9.0.51.
I trashed all the update files I had downloaded and started all over. I know I got the right .bin for the 9th generation. I dragged it to my Kindle, unplugged, opened my Kindle to HOME. The directions say to go to the MENU from HOME. I do not see an option for MENU. I went to SETTINGS, but no help there. I see nothing that says anything about an update. When I go to the specifics, it still shows the original firmware 5.9.0.5.1tsemple said:You need to get the correct .bin file. For example Oasis (8th generation) update will not work on Oasis (9th generation). Kindle will check when it starts up and if it is the wrong one, it will delete the update file without doing anything with it, I think with a message something like what you saw (but hard to say without more detail).
Assuming you have the correct update file on the Kindle, the last step is to go to Settings, click the triple-dot menu, and tap Update Your Kindle (which should be enabled).
Go to settings --device options. Now it depends on the software, but its either right there, or as in the new update it will be under advance options.Jane917 said:I trashed all the update files I had downloaded and started all over.

Neither of the options in Device Options was available. However, now when I select the 3 buttons on the top left, I have Update Your Kindle, but it is grayed out. I think I am getting closer.Atunah said:Go to settings --device options. Now it depends on the software, but its either right there, or as in the new update it will be under advance options.
So try
settings -- device options (if "update your kindle" is not there go to this following)
settings -- device options -- advanced options
you have to do the update from the kindle after you get the bin on it. Now I had to do it twice on my Voyage, which was a first. After I put it on, update your kindle was grayed out. So I downloaded it again and put it in the "kindle" main directory again. Then suddenly I had the "update kindle".

ETA: I dragged the .bin file a second time and the Update message went from gray to black. It is now updating. Thanks for all the help, everyone!
ETA #2: My Oasis2 looked like it was updating, but I guess it was't. There is still option to disable touchscreen, and my details show the old update, not,the new one. Sigh.
