Aura Kobo Aura second edition slow downs

snowstone · 03-12-2017, 09:13 AM

I bought a Kobo Aura second edition to replace my old Kobo Glo (the screen was almost unreadable). After setting up and loading up my library, everything seem to be fine. However from time to time, while navigating my collections or all ebooks, the device will slow down or freeze and then after maybe 30 secs take the action I had choose. For example I'm in one of my collections and touch the "go back" button to go back to see all the collections, the device will freeze, but still detect every touch I make, so if while the device is froze I touch the home button, when it unfreezes, it will go back to all collections and then to the home screen. I don't understand why this is happening.

The firmware version is: 3.20.6894 (2483e14f7a, 6/28/16)

3.20.6894 is the factory reset firmware version, do a sync and upgrade to 4.3.8945.

I thought it had updated in my initial setup. It appears to have improved. There is still the occasional slow down, but not as long as they were.

Thank you

The slowdown is whenever you display the collections list? If so, that is expected. If you have a lot of collections and a lot of books in the collections, then displaying the collections list can take a long time. I have about 40 page of collections. That takes about 40 seconds to display. Update to 4.3.8945. That seems to be caching the collections list. The first time opening it is still very slow. But returning to it form a collections is just slow. About 15 seconds for me.
