I had something similar but only once. My WiFi connection is always off. No auto sync or any other sync.
Installed fw 3.5.0 and did a full sync right after and turned my WiFi OFF again. Syncing took very long btw.
Now everything was up to date again and I wanted to read a pocket article.
First, the device asked for a WiFi connection. Why? I just did sync the device. I did not want perform a sync again and pressed the cancel button. Nothing happened. The WiFi Connection Popup screen would not go away. Tried it again for several times but giving the same result. As I did not want to connect I tried pressing the "X" in the right upper corner of the Popup screen. Which gave the same result and threw me back to the popup screen.
I had no other choice than to open a WiFi connection and do a sync.
As I just performed a full sync my device was already up to date and making this FORCED sync totally unnecessary.
But this forced sync still took over 1 minute to conclude that I was already up to date. Why is that?
Just write a hash file to the device with several hashes (library, dictionaries, pocket articles, reading life, etc.) in it. Compare these hashes with Kobos online hashes and syncing could be done in less then a few seconds.
The current syncing method Kobo is using sucks.
