Advice on software

redhotguitar · 06-25-2017, 07:27 AM

Hi all,

I've recently bought a kobo aura edition 2.

I found the latest software to be a bit buggy (4.4.9349 i think)- there was a lot of battery drain and i'd sometimes wake up to a completely drained device due to it.

I ended up sideloading 4.4.9298. It's still got a few bugs-namely, the light doesnt turn off when i put the device to sleep (i have to manually turn it down first). Also the light keeps turning on when i turn my device on even when i've previously set it to 0.

Are there any other previous software versions you could advice? I only really sideload books on my device so i don't need the greatest functionality in terms of the kobo store etc. I just want a working light and a good battery life

Cheers all

I have the older Kobo Aura rather than the Edition 2. I use firmware 4.3.8945 and don't have either of those issues. Not sure if your model would support it.

I also learned that if you are happy with the current firmware, it's often not worth updating.

But depending on what firmware you are using, it can be worth it.

I rolled back to before the new home screen. I love it. I haven't needed to charge my kobo since
