I have not upgraded the firmware - not sure that would make any difference for this problem.

When you say you can't get 3.5 hrs on the battery, do you mean in actual usage or according to the built-in meter? I ask because I've had this device since mid-March and found the battery meter quite inaccurate. I've used the Libre Color on a plane ride for about 5 hrs on a single charge to read at 10% & to watch a 42 min video (downloaded 1 hr TV show) at 80 or 90% (can't remember exactly), and it still wasn't completely run down.
HTH,
