[QUOTE=Peakcrew;2213955]On the "Kobo Touch future firmware feature request thread", a few of us have been wondering if there is a connection between device IDs and the well-known problems some have had updating since firmware update 2.0.0 came out. Obviously, to find this out we need some information from you good folks, in the form of:
a) your device ID and version number, PID: 4136 Rev: 0326 b) an indication of the country you bought the Touch and where you did the update(s), Purchased in Ireland (Apr 2012) ...all updates in Ireland c) whether you did it via Kobo Desktop, wifi, or by downloading and installing yourself, and First update via Kobo Desktop, all subsequent updates via WiFi d) whether you have had any difficulties or changes in device behaviour not announced by Kobo as part of the updates since 2.0.0., and, if you did, what they were/are. These include, but are not limited to, failed updates, slow page turns, displaying the wrong book cover ... the list is quite long! I have been lucky - no problems at all and successfully updated to 2.1.4 (r43710 10/1/12) last week via WiFi, only 1 update required and device going like a rocket since then e) In addition, if you know the firmware version it came with from the factory that would be useful. Apologies, I have not got the faintest idea what the firmware it came with was....guessing 1.9.7 f) However, reports of no problems are as useful, so if you have been lucky, please let us know, too! Lucky,lucky, lucky happy dance (comiserations to everyone who was not so fortunate) |

Something I just discovered today... there seem to multiple FCC ids for Touches; probably pertaining to different hardware. Matbe rather than tracking serial #s we need to track the FCC ids.
Ones I am aware of are:

The pessimistic, cynical side of me wonders whether Kobo is trying to string out this 'working update coming soon' process long enough to get us problem-devicers just out of the warranty period.

The FCC filings are related to the physical device.
The problems with the Australia devices seems to be firmware related. So, the same FCC device will have or not have the update problems depending on the firmware that was loaded onto it at the factory. |

Hi, all,
I haven't vanished - well, not permanently. I'll work up an update database shortly (perhaps when I'm on holiday in a couple of weeks time). Interesting information about the FCC numbers. |
