• March 24 – 3:00 PM Dead
Removed device from cover:
• March 28 – 11:20 PM 100%
• March 29 – 11:24 AM 100%
• March 29 – 11:45 PM 100%
• March 30 – 12:23 PM 100% (changed books, and flipped +/- 20 pages)
• March 31 – 11:08 AM 93%
• April 1 – 4:00 AM 93%
• April 1 – 7:36 PM 93%
• April 2 – 7:28 PM 93%
For the out-of-cover tests, I put the device to sleep with no movement in front of cover for approx. 5 seconds before putting device down.
Thanks to everyone else in this thread for their tests, comments and conclusions.  I hope a fix isn't too far off. |
Wow! Pretty conclusive, I'd say!
I think TechniSol has point about pockets, but I've been trying to think if I had changed my behaviour with my Touch for the battery to fall off the cliff the other day, and I think that, for various reasons, I had let it go to sleep automatically with the cover on. Now, my cover doesn't come anywhere near the screen - hold it sideways and you can see daylight between cover and frame. I might be barking up the wrong tree, in the wrong forest, in a different country, though - as you may have guessed, this weekend was a bit chaotic, and it could be down to something entirely different.
I'll start my tests again ...
