So, just yesterday I came home with a shiny new Kobo Glo, my first ereader. I then spent the next 1-2 hours trying to get it to work. I plugged it into the wall to charge it first as my computer wasn't nearby, and after loading a screen with a choice of languages on it, it froze entirely. After unplugging and plugging it into my computer a few times, it unfroze and I updated it through the Kobo desktop program (for mac). Froze again. Messing around with it unfroze it, but after about 2-3 minutes of letting it sit idle, it was totally frozen once more.
I reset it using a paperclip and did a factory restore and updated it through the Kobo desktop program again, and since then it's behaved perfectly... I'm worried that it'll start its freezing game again though, should I be? I don't know what on earth its problem was. Is it possible I have a faulty model, or is this just firmware problems?
Teething issues aside, it's been lovely to use. I've noticed one 100% reproduce-able bug though, probably just a firmware thing. If I set the brightness of the light anywhere below 10%, then turn the light off and on again, the light won't turn back on - and when I look at the settings, it's gone back to 1%. It doesn't seem to happen above 10%. Have other people got this bug? I seem to have version 2.10.0. Any idea how often Kobo rolls out updates?
Thanks for your time!
(ETA: i didn't see any of these in either unconfirmed or confirmed in the stickied bug thread)
