Another week with the .16 version of firmware
and i can report that the
sdhc card issue is in some ways worse now.
kobo appears to have tried to do a fix to the problem by allowing more time
to the reader to re-mount the SDHC card if it loses connection. i.e the problem
has not gone away but , through inserting more checks at different stages and
code to allow the reader to re-mount the problem has gotten a sort of band-aid.
That fix, however, has cause a new problem that kobo probably failed to test before releasing the software. if the reader has a lot of files on the card , the re-mount procedure takes considerable time. The result of this is that the internal watchdog? times-out and causes the unit to reset and restart.
Right now, after loading some more pdf on to the sd card(perhaps a little less than 1000 files and 3gb), i am in the situation that 70% of the page turns causes a reset of the unit.
this did not happen before...will remove some material to see if the problem disappers.
problem above did not happen with a 2gb sd class 2 card but with a 8gb sdhc class 6 card. (that have been formeted as suggested)
clarification: at page turn the unit: tries to turn page, fails due to card not mounted, re-mounts, start "spinning the wheel", and then stops the spinning and restarts.
