Black screen in FW 3.2.0

Hi,

After the update FW to 3.2.0 version, ¿is normal see some black screens flashing when I put the kobo touch in sleep mode? The same happen when I wake up the reader.

Some weird happen with the new FW than does not happen with FW 3.0.1

Comments are welcome.

Yes that seems to be normal for firmware 3.2.0.

In the last few firmware versions there has been a problem with the screen not refreshing at all when going to sleep or waking, but in 3.2.0 the problem has gone to the opposite extreme and it does this strange flashing thing. What it should be doing is just a normal quick refresh to clear the ghost of the sleep screen, like it does every so often when turning pages.

As an aside, is there a physical reason, not just a marketing reason, why only the new Aura has the new less distracting page flip waveform? Could it be applied to existing firmwares and displays used in the Touch, Glo, etc.?

I haven't researched it, wondered if anyone had.

I believe that is a hardware advance so it's not backwards portable.
