- Long wake-up time (10-15s) when the DXG has been asleep for a while.
- No active content.
The battery drain is not a big problem. The lack of active content is also not a big problem, I intend to try the fix suggested in this thread. The long wake-up time is a bit of a pain though. Does anyone have any ideas how to tackle this, apart from the method suggested in this thread, "switch off to blank screen"? |
Umm. well my standard 2.5.x DXG runs out in 1-2 days when 3g enabled. not sure how long you were getting before. My only thought would be increased lookups to the amazon server for various bits associated with the newer update. But honestly that sounds about right?
Assuming you have a decent amount of books on the device it could just be that for the wakeup time.
Shoving 800 books on the DX does slow it down a bit.
Thanks for the report, perhaps one day when DX debricking is more fun I will give this a try.
just providing some "thumb in the air" real world metrics for comparison
