I have not updated, I'm waiting for a patch from GeoffR. Therefore I asked where the chess came from

I only updated an H2O so far. If Chess is here I don't see it.
Under Settings>Beta Features are: Web Browser Large Print Mode Sketch Pad Sudoku Unblock It Solitaire Word Scramble I've never played any of the games so can't really comment on how well they work. |

highlighting is still buggy
Aura One here.
Still buggy, however there might be a slight improvement. I could select some line ends which I could not, while in other cases I had to close the sleepcover and reopen it to exit a perceptual infinite loop. The book I tried is Calibre User Manual (calibre-3.13.0) in English. Quote:

8 of 10 cases I selected something different, mostly "Allows you to add multiple e-books that are" It might be a single faulty KA1. May I ask some of you to test it as well? I would love to use my KA1. However many times I start reading on it and (because of some bug, especially in highlighting, or in some rare occasions no reaction while turning a page) I get sad and use my kindle voyage instead. I was just thinking about it, why do I keep hoping for three years now that kobo will ever get rid of the bugs of the text selection part of their code. Or why don't they hire some of the big names from here to help in eliminating the bugs. I agree the firmware quality is progressing, but in a very slow rate. Sad to see that a quality hardware using open formats does not get the same quality firmware for so long. |

Kobo Auroa One WiFi is still a pathetic joke. The only time I can ever seem to get the WiFi to work is when it mysteriously turns itself on. I routinely try to turn it on, wait the 1-2 minutes while it tries to connect until it eventually asks me for my WiFi password (which it already knows) only to tell me it can't connect. I always make sure the WiFi is turned off after this pitiful performance. Then one day, BAM!, the WiFi is on and I'm connected with full bars.
As a comparison, on my Glo HD I can hit Sync, it will ask me to turn on the Wifi, it will connect and finish in less time that it takes for the Aura One to finish just trying to turn the WiFi on. It's a good thing I don't buy my books from Kobo, or I would be even more disappointed with its performance than I already am. Of course this also means I can never get any of my Pocket articles or borrow books from the online library. It still amazes me how much better my old Glo HD works, even though it's running the exact same version firmware, when compared to the device meant to replace it. It takes more than a great screen to make a great product. Last edited by Sir Loyne; 12-16-2017 at 05:46 AM. |

I never have any trouble with the wifi on my Kobo Aura One. I always leave it on. I use Pocket a lot. So l'm downloading new items and removing old ones frequently.

I turn on my WiFi only when I want to sync for a new firmware version. The ON/OFF sequence of my WiFi works just fine on my KA1.

It used to connect fine while i was using the old ddwrt router firmware from around 2013 i suppose, but after upgrading to the latest 2017 build i also started having problems and it wouldnt connect. It would try for about a minute or so , and then ask for the password again. The problem turned out to be an option they recently added to the firmware, "noise immunity" in advanced wifi settings. After turning this off, my H2O started connecting with no problems once again. There is part of the blame on kobo too, something in the way they coded the wifi doesnt like that option ticked. My phone connects no problem even with the "noise immunity" option on. So you could have a similar situation as mine, and might want to troubleshoot the router. Option could be called with different name on your particular model |

It will. But, I'm not sure I would recommend anyone with an Aura ONE LE to install 4.7.10413.
Also, Kobo have said they will not release 4.7.10413 to the Aura ONE LE and will bring them into line with the next release. |

At this point, if it is bugging you, you should downgrade. 4.7.10413 is working on my N905 Touch. I only get problems after combinations of menu items that I wouldn't normally expect to do. And just now, I couldn't get it to happen at all. |
