Just me or anyone else?
I have now checked my H2O times a few days. The phenomenon described by you, however, I can not confirm for my reader. I can not see any change in battery consumption.

I'm getting different double-refresh behaviour on my Kobo Aura E2. The double-refresh happens on every single page refresh except when I use the dictionary! And yes, it is very annoying. Anyone else getting this?

Are you sure? I seem to recall creating a directory with the same name as the update file, or creating a dummy update file and make it read only? I may be wrong.

But that only works when you know the name of the update file. So if you are at the latest firmware and you don't want to be upgraded without you deciding to do so, you may not be able to use that method.

Patching is the only sure way of doing this.

Ideally, the directory should have the same name as the download file. But, a directory called "KoboRoot.tgz" should block the file from being unpacked properly. But, the firmware looks for that file when you disconnect from the PC and restart the device. Looking at the checks in the script, it's probably OK, but I'm by no means an expert with shell scripts.

I would not want to risk getting bricked because of that. My solution would be to install the patch that's know to work. Then I don't have to risk getting a brick. I would not want to have to open my H2O to fix it.

It's not going to brick the device. At the most, you would need to do a factory reset to recover.

Yes, Geoff is a gentleman and I am a bastard that kept hounding you to answer a simple question that might have explained what was going on.

But, tell me, what question did you ask that someone was supposed to answer? And please, point to the post where you actually asked something and didn't just whinge about it. And just to be clear, I did give you the answer to your supposed question in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...6&postcount=56.

There might be some problem with getting an answer to this - the thread has been severely edited and a load of posts removed.

After upgrading to the newest firmware, I have experienced some problems with Calibre. It looks like, that there is a new version of database in my Kobo (Aura H20) and Calibre can't recognize it, so a special message occurs. Can anyone confirm it?
