Aura Light bug in 4.4.9349 (Aura Edition 2)

Filmbrain · 07-08-2017, 10:20 AM

Hi all --

After my trustworthy Aura HD died this week, I got my hands on an Aura Edition 2.

Did a sync upon setting it up, and it upgraded to 4.4.9349. Everything working alright, except 2 strange issues regarding the light, one known, one new to me.

1) When entering sleep mode, the light stays on permanently. I was seeing this on my Aura HD as well, so I figure this is the same bug.

2) This is new -- and very annoying -- whenever I wake the device from sleeping (with the light off), it automatically sets the light at 17%. Every time.

Is this a bug, or a feature of the Aura that I'm unaware of. Damn frustrating to have to manually turn off the light each time I wake the device.

It's a firmware bug. When you want to put your Kobo Aura2 to sleep, turn off the light first. The light bug(s) are being worked on by Kobo.
