Something’s off. That’s for sure. I just noticed it was completely dead and the battery bank connected to it was half drained. That’s enough energy to charge two iPads. |
Wi-Fi was clearly the culprit. I charged to 100%, turned Wi-Fi off, and my Elipsa 1 has not crashed or had its battery drained since October 19. That’s two weeks, and I still have a 89% charge.
I purchase a lot of books, as well as use Kobo Plus and Overdrive, so syncing with Kobo’s servers and not depleting my battery is something I expect my Kobo ereaders to do. These last two firmware releases haven’t been so cooperative.
I’m going to backup my DB, then do a soft factory reset. That fixed Wi-Fi sync loop issues in the past. Obviously, that’s destructive to stats, so I’ll try to recreate whatever I can. Unlike my past Kobos, I can’t pop out a micro SD card from the Elipsa to make a full backup in order to restore it if things go awry.
Can you think of anything else I could do to isolate this issue? I’m curious to know why having a PDF or Notebook open would cause battery draining while Wi-Fi is turned on.
