Not knowing if the firmware is a complete software upgrade, I wonder if the update may not have included a kernel or other software component that didn't get updated for everyone? Or if not everyone had all the same components depending on which firmware they updated from, etc. If so, some could have some leftover software components that worked OK with a former firmware, but not with the current. Who knows?

Interesting. I think I might do a factory reset (again), and let it setup and update via the Desktop. That's something I never do. Lets do something I never do

Hahahaha, reading that I was expecting some huge sexist comment to come, but it's actually logical and even funny. I think I'll make sure to take my bra off before doing the update via Desktop

Ah right okay. We're fully agreed then

Nice! My Glo's second cycle ended this morning. It was at 49% last night around 20:30 (8.30 pm
), I put it back to sleep without any use and it was dead when I looked at it this morning. That means only less than 89 hours this time, or 3.7 days. How fun.
