Kobo Touch Firmware 1.9.5 issues
Ok as we move forward I notice that some issues are croping up that were not mentioned in prior Firmware. So I was wondering if we could discuss those issues and see how they occur. Maybe we can figure out what is being done to cause for instance the touch to freeze. Or the data base to corrupt or any other issue you have? Most notably WIFI
Any thoughts guys? Regards JAck |

I'm very happy with 1.9.5. It's certainly not perfect, and lacks a few features that I would love to see, but it's a marked improvement over 1.9.4 and has me looking forward to future updates.

I voted it as a bit buggy. The issue with bold and italics on sideloaded epubs is a pretty significant bug in my opinion. From what I understand it will be fixed in the next version though.
Other than that this release has been fantastic, especially the ability for footnotes for sideloaded epubs. I know that is a feature that I sorely missed back on my Kobo wifi. To the Kobo developers: keep up the great work! |

I voted the last option only I'm lactose intolerant so that won't work
Actually I could almost say option #1, I'm loving the new update and have had no problems. But I am currently not reading much in regular epub, mostly kepub so everything works fine there. |

Wifi Observations
I went to a friends house who had a Literati -- Had to setup WiFi -- Noted that the best security I could get running for Literati was WPA Personal with AES. Tried my touch there & instant (nearly) connection -- Where at home I use WPA/WPA2 Mixed Personal and have occasional issues. I did not try it at any distance from the modem so not exactly a big sample here. Both use pretty long pass phrases with special characters, Mixed case etc. (20 characters plus).
The other issue is a bit strange on WiFi in that sometimes (10%??) the initial scan does not see the home network even though it is the strongest signal out there and often will take 2 or 3 rescans. It is a bit hard for user community to diagnose this as so many variables. Last edited by Byron4120; 06-30-2011 at 10:46 PM. |

It's a bug introduced by the newest firmware where words in italic and bold show up as if they weren't italiczed or bolded.
So this: Why hello there! Looks like this: Why hello there! Might not seem like a big deal but it can make a big difference in context depending on what you're reading. |

Why start a new thread when a Kobo Touch 1.9.5 Firmware thread already exists?
Couldn't we just add to that thread to keep all the ideas in one location? ltr |

My kobo is also shutting off when the battery level is half full. Aslo when it tells me to charge it and I plug it in the screen goes blank and my computer does not register anything being connected. I plug it into a few different UBS ports and flick the power button for a while and eventually it turns back on and connects but this it quite annoying.

The only thing I noticed about the new firmware update was that when you are in the font menu changing line spacing and allignment you get some ghosting effects with the e-ink, when you play with some options for about 40 seconds, the screen gets a ghosted e-ink splash all over it until you exit the settings/font menu.
