According to davidfor the ghosting problem is not fixed in this release

All: patches for 3.12.1 can be found at :

My Aura's battery's been drained to ~0% a couple of times this week.

I'm running 3.12.1 (wrong thread, but battery drain was discussed here earlier and AIUI 3.12.1 is not much different to 3.12.0) and a third-party sleep cover. I'm fairly sure the reader is sleeping properly.

I received my replacement Glo, it's running on 3.12.0 and no battery drain . Would recommend contacting Kobo once you've ruled out anything obvious. I tried the following before contacting them:-

Disabling the sleep cover
Recalibrating battery
Factory resetting
Reverting to firmware 3.8
Reuploading all my side-loaded epubs after re-converting them to ensure it wasn't a bad file
Replacing battery

When none of these worked I contacted Kobo and they sent me a replacement which is working fine.

Hope you get sorted!

No. All my books are side loaded kepubs.

It has only started happening since 3.12.1 installed.

Oh....I was thinking KoReader was using battery faster on my Aura, but it also has 3.12.1, so maybe that is it! It went down 25% the other day after just using it to read a couple of hours. No SD card, no wifi on. I may have to roll it back.

Gah...36% since last night when it was on the charger....I don't think it was "asleep" though, despite the cover being closed.

That sounds to my story about leaving the reader on,wait till it falls asleep then to discover that it doesn't and draining the battery by the light or something like that, since I reverted back to 3.11 everything is okay.
Technically,when you don't turn pages,there is no screen change,no power needed to refresh the screen and so the battery must be full, only the light uses power, so for me 3.12 makes it a bit harder,the ghosting is very high while you would think,if it falls to sleep,the screen is of, so why the ghosting if the screen is off.. and why the battery drainage when the sleep is on.. both behave tells me that it doens't go into sleep.. or not fully !

Nick, I decided to go back to 3.11.0 too. There was a lot of ghosting in 3.12.

I decided to factory reset, and my wifi kept dropping, so I connected it to the kobo desktop, where it downloaded the 3.12.1 update. I copied over 3.11.0 on top of it, then disconnected. Saved me a step!

I've seen no difference in battery drain or ghosting between firmware 3.11.0 and 3.12.1 on my Glo.

I think the interesting thing is the code in kobo_config.sh:

Code:
E60Q9*) [ "$RES" == "800x600" ] && echo pika || echo alyssum;;
That suggests the pika has resolution of 800x600 but otherwise the same hardware as the alyssum. And the only reason I can think of to make an 800x600 device now is if the screen was smaller. That makes me wonder if the pika is a 5" device to replace the Mini and the alyssum is a 6" to replace the Touch, Glo or Aura. Or maybe all of them.

There isn't much evidence in libnickel to suggest which way they are going.

There is enough "credible" info that the mini didn't sell enough devices to justify it's existence that I'm not sure I believe that.

Yes, that's the problem with the theory. I just can't think of another good reason to release an 800x600 device. Unless they have plans for a really cheap 6" device. Maybe they think a full-featured 5" device will sell. People might be more interested in a 5" device with light and SD card. We'll just have to wait and see.

With a name like Pika (super-cute miniature rabbit) how can it be anything but an updated Mini?
