some micro sd problems

Recently updated the firmware from 1.9.12 to 1.9.14 hoping that it wolud solve the problem with micro SD cards that gets ejected by the system.
no such luck.

Used the KT with transcend a 2gb class 4 with no problems for about 3 month.
changed to the 8gb transcend class 6 card same problems as others here on the forum.
edit: same problem/experience with a 16gb class 10 not sure of the mfct

card is detected, mounted. ok for a while 60 seconds if no interaction with the kt after that, the card is ejected. if you was able to open a book the book is closed and you are returned to the home screen.
if you constantly(every 30 seconds or thereabout) touch the screen while reading hte card is fine and you can read page after page.

tried the sd association format, no luck.

what i did notice that i have not seen anybody comment on, perhaps some more readers on the forum can try this? is that if you connect the kt to a power source i.e. through the microusb. The sd card works as it should with no spontanious ejects.

appears to me that either the hw and the circuits in this way gets the voltage and the current needed such that the flanks, slew and card signalling work. or some power saving feature does not get activated causing the timing? problems...or something else....

anyway, thought i would share my findings in the hope that it will get sorted....at least in the next version.... *sigh*


- other problems, metadata on pdf after change does not change/update in the kobo. i.e. the sqllite database update algorithm does not realise that the pdf contains changed metadata.

- some random restarts.

- encrypted wpa wifi hotspot through an android phone not working, non encrypted ok. still trying to understand what is going wrong. encrypted wifi (wpa2) )to home network ok.
sorted!, something to do with password length/ acess control/refresh of kobo wifi login
