It's a little premature to say that they have a fix (I had 3 days in a row last week without any problems), but they wouldn't roll out even a beta update unless they thought they'd actually fixed something.

It seems they were also replacing units with particular ranges of serial numbers. That might be due to a different issue altogether, or perhaps they just wanted to rule out the possibility of a hardware defect.

In any case, I trust we'll have an effective solution for everyone before very long.
With them replacing a range of serial numbers that is telling me that they have found a mfg. issue or issues with certain batches of the units. This is a normal process of figuring out how to build the units correctly or maybe a bad batch of components
So hopefully by the time they ship mine they will have this figured out.
