Elipsa 2E Stouchy BT pageturner

[mcp000]

whats the current situation with this remote?

it is a really great idea, formfactor and overall device...
it pairs and works perfectly out of the box, but no matter
what i try it keeps loosing connection after 5 minutes...

i tried the nickel stuff and bluetooth- or wifi-force and
whatnot, but to no avail... best thing i manage is a quick
reconnect via nickelmenu, but doing that every 5 minutes
beats the purpose of a remote...

does anyone have this remote working reliably?

ok, i found it... if anyone is interessted in elipsa 2e and remote usage:

the elipsa needs to be actively connected to a wifi-network to keep a bluetooth
reliably connected for more than 5 - 10 minutes...

it took a lot of testing and restting and updating, but im sure now -
if there is no known wifi network around and the elipsa is unconnected,
the wifi/bt shared chipset seems to go into some kinda sleep/save mode
or something, which affect the bluetooth connection to a remote control
after a while, because a remote is not used very often... only one pageturn here
and one pageturn then...

it results in always the same behaviour; no wifi-network - remote disconnects
after around 5 - 10 minutes...

i bought the original kobo remote and two other offbrand ones from stouchi
and such amazon offers... its the same behaviour with each one...

i ll try to get this info to this firmware threat here for the developers, but if
anyone knows a more direct route to tell kobo about remote problems with
at least the elipsa 2e then please get the info out...

im rather unsure this can be fixed with an update tho, cuz during my research
about this now i found out the wifi and bt use the physically same chipset
somehow in this kobo, and that seems to be the core of the problem somehow...
energy saving - or sleep - modi or something result in unstable bt connections
with at least remote pageturners when no wifi network is actually actively
connected to the device...

cheers and best regards
