Some people own these new fangled gizmos called smart tv, tablet, phone, home security, video doorbell, home automation and some other stuff too. Further info can be found by searching via AltaVista, Ask Jeeves, or Yahoo.

Thanks for pointing me in this direction DNSB. My eyesight much prefers Invert Mode to Normal Mode. The only problem is that the screen occasionally flashes while page turning (firmware 4.32). I suspect it is something to do while screen refresh. Does this still occur in 4.37?

hi, I'm max,i'm new, I have a kobo forma and I noticed that with the previous update (2 weeks ago) the battery drains much faster (in 2 days) even without using it while before it lasted much longer (if I didn't use it too 1 month) I tried to update the firmware again (yesterday) but nothing changedHas this happened to any of you too?Solutions?I spoke in chat with support and they told me to restore but I wanted to talk to the more experienced first,Thanks

I've installed 4.37.21586. I found one problem. The Reading List plugin did not recognize my Libra 2. I had to add it to the list of devices and remove the other Libra 2 entry.

Does anyone know why?

This was a bit of a problem back when my Aura HD was crapping itself and randomly resetting every so often, lol.

I'm trying to downgrade the firmware but I can't, I tried deleting from the .kobo folder (I have only 2 .conf files) the files but it is as if it never really erased the updated firmware, also because this update is really heavy and for the battery, I tried with only 2 books without reading or opening it an the battery's life is 48 hours.

That is odd as I didn't remove the driveinfo file. But at least it's sorted.

i was able to do the downgrade correctly but nothing changed,at this point i think the battery is gone,i bought my kobo Forma in 2019 so it seems strange to me that it only lasts 4 years..i also spoke to the assistance again and they assured me that the update didn't cause any problems with the battery...What do you recommend to do?Just change the battery?Buy another one?Switch to Kindle?Thanks for the reply!

Quoth · 07-23-2023, 05:51 AM

Change the battery or buy a Sage.
The battery life (actually a cell) is related to number of complete cycles (so heavy use), temperature, age and original purity/quality. So life for the same model of cell can be 2 to 10 years depending on all those.

So I may not be alone.
Kobo forma with last update bought 2 years ago, now seems impossible to charge. In vacation so can not downgrade or anything.
I can boot it plugged to my iPad but it seems the battery stays at 0%…

I saw some messages about fixes in prices in this and previous firmware (not in changelog), but for me the prices do not appear in buy buttons in wishlist (they appear in other listings like recent visited books). Am I alone?

Happening in Kobo Libra H2O

JSWolf · 07-25-2023, 05:21 PM

Why are so many on the previous version when they are having problems?

petercreasey · 07-26-2023, 10:00 AM

Is the current version really a problem for the Forma as people have mentioned upthread?
