I got a Vox for my daughter last November. So far it seems that I cannot make the battery last longer than just shy of 4 hours when it is used for just reading (and considerably less when the kids are playing games).
- I have WiFi disabled (airplane mode)
- I have all of the software updates
- I have the screen brightness turned down to the minimum
- the Vox is shut down after use (not put to sleep).
When I check the battery status I typically see that the display accounts for 70% or more.
Is there any point trying to do a factory reset or unplugging the battery? Once I did run into the problem that the battery ran down to 0 when the Vox was off and it would not charge until I peeled off the back and hit the hardware reset button. Sometimes I wonder if the battery indicator is accurate or if the battery actually has more than the indicated 10% charge when the low battery warning pops up.
I tried e-mailing Kobo support but have not received any reply other than to note that the e-mail address I used did not match the one I used to create my Kobo account. Any suggestions for what else I can try would be appreciated - I'm generally happy with the Vox except for the short battery life.
