Most of us just wait before we update. Since I sideload my books, I really never turn on wifi unless I specifically want to get a firmware update.

Is there a way to downgrade firmware back to 3.14 which (presumbaly?) doesn't have these issues? Pi sounds tastier anyway.
I'm not sure the Glo HD can go below 3.15.0, I think that was the first firmware for it. So I'm not sure there's anything you can downgrade to in this instance.

Edit: It looks like 3.14.0 is for the Glo HD as well, but I don't think anyone actually got a chance to test it since during setup you're usually connected to wifi which downloads 3.15.0 right away.
