Hello everyone, I have unjailbroken PW2. I don't have wifi at home, and my PW2 does not have 3G access. I usually turn it off when not in use, most of the time I set it back to airplane mode after at a wifi hotspot, and I use a low back light setting. In hindsight, I have the leather cover from Amazon with the magnet, the one which puts it to sleep when I close the cover. I'd say that with reading 45 to an hour or so every day (where sometimes I'd forgot to go back in airplane mode after being at a wifi hotspot) I'd get 10 to 14 days on a charge.
My PW2 updated to 5.7.3 four days ago when I was at a wifi hotspot, where the battery indicator was at about 35%. Since then the battery usage has been terrible. Day after update the kindle prompted me that the battery was low and to recharge, which I did overnight. In the next two days I used it about 4 hours of which about 1.5 hours was with wifi turned on at hotspots. Last night, got the same low battery message when I turned it on and after resetting, recharged overnight.
I am thinking that my PW2 might be re-indexing? I read earlier in this thread that typing gibberish no longer works to indicate when the kindle is reindexing? So, I am thinking that I should leave my kindle plugged in for a day or two to let it reindex and the reset.
I understand that I can't jailbreak my kindle and I think that making the physical connections in my kindle required for serial jailbreaking might be above my pay grade, sorry.
But as I said elsewhere, I'll read the instructions in the thread and then see how I feel.
Any thoughts? I'll post back here after I've left it plugged in for a day or so to give it a chance to re-index.
