I went back to 4.28.x on the Elipsa because of bugs. But the Sage seems OK on 4.31.
I used Elipsa stylus and it immediately wanted WiFi so as to sync and download recognition SW.
Someone mentioned the Home Screen issue. I've noted that AFTER a USB connect that the Kobo ALWAYS returns to the Home Screen, even if no books added, so now I go to Home before connecting USB.
I always connect the gadget end first & disconnect last and disconnect-reconnect the USB Host end if needed for Calibre Series update as that's easy & not fiddly.
From new the Sage had to connect 4 times:
1) Initial power on. It didn't ask for sign in but downloaded on WiFi after connect.
2) Rebooted after download and needed the WiFi password again. This time it asked for a sign-in. I used the same working email I used for maybe 5 years for Kob. Other than my own test email it's never ever received email, not even spam (I have no spam blocker on Internet mail box supplier, just local Thunderbird).
3) It then updated to 4.31.x
4) I turned off WiFi and auto sync.
5) Had to turn it on & sync to get the Dictionaries.
6) Turned if off, but found even looking at Bluetooth setting page turns on WiFi.
7) Tried stylus off Elipsa, and it immediately wanted WiFi so as to sync and download recognition SW.
The recognition of text and screen response to fast handwriting seems faster than the Elipsa, but more tests needed. The Circle shapes shrink to a bold
O size with this FW, the Elipsa circle input gives original drawn size.
So if you want Dictionaries & Handwriting, you need the WiFi for a while. Even a fake email address works. Possibly the Kobo Desktop program can be used, I don't know as I don't have that.
