Kindle Keyboard WiFi starting on it's own
I thought I was just forgetting to turn off the WiFi when I was done. But... Recently, I picked up the K3 (knowing I'd shut it off the night before) to find the WiFi back on.
A web search seems to blame the Kindle cover from Amazon, but I don't have a cover. Just generic sleeve. So, anybody else seeing this? Do I need to check the K3 every morning to see if it hasn't turned itself on overnight? I only use it about twice a week and it's a pain to pick it up to find the batteries are half empty. |

Do you have the special offers one? Inadvertently pushing the control dodad will turn on wifi.

Sorry about the technical mumbo jumbo.
![]() I noticed that I did this a couple of times with my new Kindle with special offers, since there is a shortcut from the screensaver ad that connects your wifi to download information on the advertised product/service. Last edited by Synamon; 04-24-2012 at 06:33 PM. |
