Why battery life began shorter?

coderserdar · 10-24-2011, 04:27 AM

i have a kindle 3 wifi with special offers..

i have installed
jailbreak
font
screensaver
launchpad
cool reader

and updated the firmware from 3.2.1 to 3.3, but in firmware 3.2.1 i installed all the jailbreaks too.

i started to read the books which are in foreign languages
so i use dictionary a lot.

while i was reading books on my origin language, battery life was 2 weeks.
but now my battery life is 3 days?

what is the reason of the battery life reducing*

p.s. i have 1330 books in my kindle

what dou you think about this battery reducing???

Maybe there is a book stuck in the middle of indexing. I had this issue after I loaded about 20 books via Calibre on my KK.
Here is what I did: In Home screen enter kdltr and "search my items" on your device. Of course it does not find anything. If it states "no items" then you problem is different to mine and I can't help you. If you find a number of items/books, even after some time, you can be sure one of the books is stuck. You have to delete it. Which one, I don't know and you don't know. I deleted all of them and loaded them on the kinlde again. After a while indexing is done. And you have "No Items" after the search "kdltr".

Good luck.

@ coderserdar
How long have you the Kindle? Have you a normal cycle for recharging youre Kindle like every Sunday? It coud be that the Batterie is running at the end of its life time.

i have kindle about 4 and half month

when i have 800 books there was no problem
battery life was 2 weeks
but after adding 530 books
and updating firmware
battery life was 2 or 3 days
iand i use dictionary for the 530 books because they ware written in foreign language
but i don't know the reason of this battery life
which was the reason
and thanks a lot for all responses

The problem is somewhere else.

never understand why people put more books on a reader than they could ever read. most I ever have is about 20 on mine.

With that many books being added, I can't help but wonder if the indexing isn't helping things. I mean, it wouldn't be a permanent thing, but it'd be a persistent battery drain for a while until it was finished indexing everything.

and i will write the results to here..

Please check the indexing status from time to time. When it shows the same number of books for awhile then a book may be stuck!

hi, this may be a bit off topic, how how often should you charge your kindle?

HarryT · 10-24-2011, 01:14 PM

Yes, this is almost without doubt an indexing issue.

You can suit yourself entirely; it won't affect the Kindle's battery whether you wait for the "low battery" warning, or top it up every day.

once in 2 weeks

I always plug my Kindle in when it's indexing several books. This saves me from losing battery life. I am still on my first charge on my K4 so I am waiting for it to run down before I fully charge it.
