I have a Glo HD (2015 model, originally Ver 3.18 when I bought it) that worked flawlessly for 6 months. About 2 weeks ago, it suddenly started acting strange with the battery life after I did a sync.
To prepare for this thread, last night I plugged the Kobo into a wall charger and let it charge overnight. I had the WiFi off, no brightness, no image when in the off mode and made sure it was actually off. This morning, the screen showed 100% charge (even when the Glo is shut off, it showed the battery % in the lower left corner). I did nothing with it for the day as I was at work.
Tonight, I turned it on for the first time and the battery indicator showed 100%. I tapped the setup tab (horizontal bars in top right corner) and it opened the little window at the top, showing the battery, wifi, brightness etc. Immediately, the battery indicator dropped to 37%!!!
I checked the version and it appears that there has been an update to Ver 3.19.5761 (0e028f3185, 12/29/15). I believe this update came in when I synced my Kobo around 2 weeks ago, when all this started.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so, did you find a resolution? Do I have a bum machine after 6 months?
Thanks much...
