Ok guys. I just did some experiment on my glo to find out if the battery life issue is solved with the 3.1.1 update.
Steps done before testing
0 - Clean up my Glo screen with alcohol wipes
1 - I do a factory reset
2 - Flash the latest 3.1.1 firmware
3 - Bootup and setup my account
4 - Disable wireless & sync option
5 - Turn my Glo to sleep mode and leave it inside my drawer without any obstruction on my Glo's screen
Battery Life
10 Feb, 0635 - 100%
10 Feb, 2345 - 87%
13 Feb, 0105 - 57%
14 Feb, 2329 - 35%
16 Feb, 2300 - 0% (Suspect it could be much earlier as i forget to check on 15 Feb)
Please note that i didn't open any books. I only disable wireless & sync option before turning it to sleep mode. There shouldn't be anything running on my glo. Just a battery life benchmark for sleep mode. I will continue to provide updates....
