Same here. I was so happy that, thanks to FOV, I could avoid having to flash the FW from another brand.

I manually updated my T62+ about ten days ago, and it has finally been consistently going to sleep when it is supposed to, ever since.

The battery life has been fantastic. I have been reading a ton, with the frontlight on the lowest setting, and the battery is at 57% right now. It used to run down completely in a few days, even if it was just sleeping the whole time. (I was so frustrated with it, I turned it off and put it back in the box for a couple months.)

I note this image dates from 28 September (the file saved date). How did FOV find it, out of curiosity? (I had been looking).
I have been wondering this too. It's strange that the OTA never got this update.

Thanks again FOV!
