Thanks knc1. Sorry for my confusion, and yes I do understand the importance of providing good information. I did what you suggested and found that I have a PW2 and have reported my post and asked the mods to change the title of my post. I will change my profile shortly to reflect that. No, my kindle is not jail broken so no reporting mechanisms. Whisper sync is turned off.
Other oddities after updating to 5.7.3 here, not sure if related. I am sharing below.
Oh and one other thing, I have one of those leather cases from amazon with the magnet in the cover, so if I don't do anything else it goes to sleep when I shut the cover and wakes up again when I open the cover. I usually hold the button down for 7 seconds when I am done using the kindle.
You mention jailbreaking and have read about it here. If there is something that I can do on my end to get reporting mechanisms let me know.
I do know how to plug my kindle in to my Mac and look in the documents folder and I just now looked around to see if their was anything resembling a log file. As you know, there was nothing that I could see. I suspect it is there but I have no access.
One other thing that may or may not be helpful having to do with some oddities after I applied the 7.3.1 update. As this is a tech forum want to give you all possible information. The update was applied on Tuesday when I was at the wifi at my gym and the battery was at about 30 or 40 percent (guesstimate). I use that wifi to sync my kindle and I was expecting this update so was not surprised. As I was leaving the gym and before I shut the wifi off I noticed that "updated" one of my e-books, Ackroyds "Tudors." When it was done updating I turned the wifi off. To make a long story short, I thought I had lost my highlights. After a talk with Amazon support, I checked my whispersync settings and resynched my kindle at a wifi hotspot. I then deleted the Tudor book and loaded the book again. The highlights were back. That was on Tuesday. I did leave whispersync on. I may have left the wifi on by accident, happens sometimes. I read for about 30 minutes before going to bed that night (tuesday) and I thought I powered off (holding button for 7 secs).
Wednesday night went to read, got a message saying I needed to plug in. I did, and read with it plugged in for awhile before shutting down. Thursday connected to wifi again at the gym and later at Starbucks (about 1.5 hours). Other usuage on Thursday. non wifi enabled about 90 minutes. I did notice on Thursday that the battery was draining quicker than normal. Was done to about 50 percent after Starbucks. Last night (Friday) went to read and got the same message saying my battery low and to plug in. I plugged in for a short time. Then unplugged and did a restart, and plugged in again. Checked out a couple of things including turning off whisper sync while it was charging then pushed power button for 7 secs
