I was reading on the Sage last night when suddenly I saw the wi-fi turning on and start synchronizing. I tried to turn it off, and it refused because it was synchronizing. The fan turned white but the arrows kept turning. To be clear, the first thing I do when I have a new reader or after a reset is to turn off the automatic syncing. Furthermore, I always have the patch "always show confirmation dialog before upgrading" on - because I do very occasionally turn the wi-fi on to actualize Pocket or to look up something in wikipedia.

The battery drops remain dramatic in this F/W. With wi-fi and bluetooth off, light at 30% an natural light 3 steps up, it dropped from 55% to 24% in a 2h40 plain reading - and it shouldn't have been at 55% to begin with. And it dropped from 21% to 16% in 70 minutes.
I'm done with calibrating: I went the full cycle thrice already, and I don't want it to turn off while on the go, plus I sync with the Elipsa almost every day.
Does any insider know whether Kobo considers that normal or do they plan to do something in a future F/W? I doubt Fnac would consider it sufficient reason to take it back.
