Libra 2 LIBRA 2 freezes on sturt up

Koboder · 02-18-2022, 05:32 AM

Hello everybody.

I have been experiencing this problem on three different Kobo Libra2:

After the last update (ver. 4.31.19086) if I turn off the device with WI-FI disabled it will block during the next restart and it will no longer be possible to turn it on.

To turn it on again I have to connect it to the PC and hold down the power button. This problem does not occur if the WI-FI is left on.

I tried to downgrade to the previous version (4.30.18838) and the device works fine until I update it again.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

The 4.31 firmware is buggy. Best not to update until Kobo has released a fix.

I had this issue in 4.30 ...

Now I have wifi always on (devmode) and it works fine, it only rebooted once when I actually caused it to hang.

However the battery is sucked dry in a day. But it's still preferable over random reboots which make the device unusable.

I had this problem as well with firmware 4.31.blablabla. It is fixed for me with the latest firmware, 4.32.blablabla.
