Yesterday I installed NM 0.5.4 on several Kobo devices. Today I noticed that my Libra 2 (4.30.18838) was almost down to 17% remaining battery. While I looked on, it went quickly to 10% during the following 30 minutes. So I charged until 100% and started some reading. Literally every time I checked the battery status it was further down. At 95% I uninstalled NM as per provided instruction and checked the Libra 2 again, and again. Up to now (some hours later) the battery remained on 95% which is as expected (seemingly no draining issues on the Libra 2 itself).

I did check the aforementioned Glo HD (see previous post) whether it had the same issues, but it apparently did not.

So there might be some interesting continued activity going on in the NM on the Libra 2 platform: polling, looping?
This is my minimalistic config setting (which worked!):

Code:

menu_item : main   : USB               : nickel_misc    : force_usb_connection
menu_item : main   : Screenshot On/Off : nickel_setting : toggle : screenshots
menu_item : reader : Screenshot On/Off : nickel_setting : toggle : screenshots

Is there anything to be said about this finding?
