Something to keep in mind that may be encouraging... as you know, they are planning on replacing the PDF reader application on the device. Right now it's an open source implementation and they are changing that to a version of Adobe. The existing software bug that is known to cause major power loss seems to be related to the reader application.

I don't know if switching the PDF reader will solve that software bug, but it is definitely reasonable to think it might.

For my suggestion to work, it would need someone to execute via software or firmaware the disabling and turning off of the cap sensors.
Can the sensors be turned off via software/firmware?
