It does so even in standby mode, always after about 5 minutes of inactivity.and so drains the battery to 2 days max where a month used to be normal.
Tried upgrading, etc. To no avail.
Anyone else have this problem? And a solution?
In the Mini's search box, try typing demomodeoff and see of that fixes it.

If not, then connect to a computer and have a look in the configuration file "./kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf" (note the leading ".") for a line beginning DemoModeTimeout= and delete it.
