Thanks for checking! I have no idea what's wrong with my device then

Did you force WiFi on at some point? If you have developer mode enabled, you can check in More => Settings => Device Information => Developer Options => Force WiFi ON. This can also be done from a NickelMenu item which will toggle between forcing WiFi on and turning off forcing WiFi on. If you use NickelMenu, the checkmark in the Force WiFi ON box will toggle.

If you are not using NickelMenu or Developer Mode, do a search for devmodeon which will enable developer mode and check the status of Force WiFi on. You can then search for devmodeoff which will disable developer mode.

On a couple of occasions when I was connecting to my Kobo over WiFi, I toggled this and then wondered a couple of days later "Why is my battery draining so fast?"

If I pick a link in a book sometimes it turns on my wifi.

I have a nickelmenu entry to turn it back off without leaving the book.

With developer mode activated you have an option to do this

I just checked and nope, ForceWiFi is off. I do use NickelMenu but ever since a couple months ago, the config for bluetooth/wifi no longer works on my NickelMenu. If I input the codes into the config file, I get a config error so I removed it and just turn on bluetooth/WiFi the old school way. Is there something wrong with the hardware of my device then? But I have no issues with 4.41. I'm stumped

The touch inputs don't rotate properly, though, so the device becomes unusable. Since it's not an officially supported feature, Kobo is unlikely to fix this.

Some versions of FW had a bug where WiFi was automatically on if BT was enabled.

Mine does this all the time but at least with 4.41, I could still manually turn it off and use BT without WiFi. Now, it'll just automatically reconnect itself every time I open a book.

I wonder if one of the reasons behind this release was minor changes needed for the revised Clara BW...

Who knows XD. I have a Tolino Shine 5 where I changed its Operating System to the Kobo one since Tolino had too many bugs.

I got this as an OTA update yesterday (Australia) for my Clara Colour when I connected to wifi for the first time in a couple of weeks.
