That doesn't explain why it was working much better (within reason) with the previous FW.
If it was a hardware issue, it would have shown. And the fact is, with previous FW at least, for days it was working as it should, and suddenly started dropping % on the battery for no good reason.

At any rate this thing wasn't ready for prime time, and still isn't. Off it goes.

EDIT: I plugged it in to charge like 20 minutes ago, and it jumped from 13% to 69%. This is all over the place. So yeah, it is at least as buggy as before, and probably more.
