Minor niggle since upgrading to 3.0.1
I inadvertently upgraded my Touch to 3.0.1 last week whilst downloading some books from the Kobo store. Overall I'm happy with the latest firmware (though yet another change to the Home page means I could never recommend one to some of my less technical family and friends who get upset when things don't stay the same!) Since the upgrade I have noticed a slightly irritating niggle - after waking it from sleep, if I don't touch the screen within a minute it becomes unresponsive for about 10 seconds, then goes back to sleep. Waking it from sleep again then does not have the same problem, and simply touching the screen (page forward then back) stops the extra sleep happening.
Has anyone else noticed this? |

Bug. Was fixed in newer firmwares (3.1.x) that maybe haven't made it to the Touch. The other option is to just do a vertical swipe on the screen which will cancel the timeout but not turn a page or anything.

Apologies - you can tell I have been too busy for the fun bits of life, such as visiting my favourite forums. I hadn't realised that this was reported previously, or that there had been a further update (though as you suggest, it doesn't look as if 3.1.x has made it to the Touch - I've just done a sync and had no further update). I'll adopt the upswipe for now - compared to some Kobo problems over the last fifteen months or so, this is nothing!

Kobo have been selective with the firmware releases of late. 3.0.x was only released for the Touch and 3.1.x has been released for the Glo, Aura and Aura HD. And nothing has been released for the Mini since 2.6.2.
If you want to try 3.1.1 on your Touch, it has to be manually installed. But, there is an issue with the USB connection not working for some devices. I think it is only the N905C model. It works perfectly for my N905 Touch. |

40°C sounds rough, but I'd be tempted to trade it for a couple of days of the below 0°F they're predicting Wed & Thursday nights here. OTOH, the Canadians are way colder than we are here in the only fairly frigid NorthEastern USA.

Brrrrr. I've lived in warm places all my life. I don't understand sub-zero temperatures on either scale. Except when it comes to keeping the ice cream cold.

David and Sol: Commiserations to you both - neither sounds good, and both will lead to people dying uncomfortably. We are having a remarkably mild winter so far. The air coming over from the US is getting warmed by the Atlantic, so there have been quite bad floods in some areas of England in particular, but here on the east coast of Scotland it has been wet and gloomy, but no extremes of anything really ( ... yet - it could all change!)
Keep well. Jim |

It's been nothing but hot here, including the hottest night on record last week. And unfortunately, people do die from it - it was estimated that hundreds died in the last big Melbourne heatwave. Right now freezing temps superficially sound good to me - but I know if I was in them, the novelty would wear off right quick!

When are they releasing 3.1.1 for touch N905C
I'm also affected with the problem of freezing in 3.0.1
I have to do a pin reset to start it again |

To bring this back vaguely on topic - are your electronic gadgets suffering in the heat? They must be getting close to the outside of their specifications, and I heard of a big data-centre in Oz having to shut down cores the other day because the water cooling wasn't coping - of course, that's a different scale, but just wondering. |

Thanks, sunilpichamuthu - so far it hasn't got bad enough to need a reset. The problem seems to limit itself by going to sleep after a short freeze, after which it is fine. With a bit of luck Kobo will give us Touch users the 3.1.x upgrade soon ...

That hottest night bottomed out at something like 29.7 degrees (after a high of 43). Horrrrrrrible. Quote:

Ah, yes - I tend to forget about room coolers, as opposed to heaters!

Sensible. Again, I hadn't thought that you would have aircon to keep things bearable. |
