I know it's less convenient, but I have always being doing that with all my readers to maximise battery life, and thus also with the KA1, and at least that is one issue I haven't had, even with the previous firmware...
And in terms of unhelpful customer support: I know it's frustrating on your end, but on the other side the rep cannot magically come up with a solution or fix the firmware, that's the job of the engineer(s), who conveniently don't interface with you... and while the rep can forward the issue, they cannot enforce any kind of urgency.
Sometimes all the rep can do is try to be polite and suggest a generic solution, even if he/she knows it won't do much :/

In my case, I have always kept WiFi off on ereaders as well as disabling auto sync as I sideload 99.99999999% of my books. The only time these are enabled is when a new firmware update has hit. Usually I'm too impatient to wait to get it and just end up sideloading that too
Regarding the CSR, I just want the RMA that they originally promised me back on Sept 18. Twice a day charging HAS to be hardware...
