This feels like a fix, actually (as in, the device is now actively put to sleep, even while charging). Which should make it charge ever so slightly faster.

I would agree with this. I've always thought it was a bit weird that the charge level was being updated as it meant the device had to be awake to do the update. Updating constantly means it is awake constantly. Setting an alarm to update periodically, or when full would probably be better.

Periodically sounds fine, as long as no period lasted longer the 5%. |

I thought the battery controller was on the main board. In the case of the Forma, it is labelled as U16.

Having a battery issue with this latest firmware. Before updating I could get weeks of reading (an hour each night) before having to recharge… the first time after updating it discharged over night. Subsequent nights I’ve had to charge it - it lasts a bit longer each time but still not great. For instance, it went from 100% to 62% with 45 minutes of reading at 3% brightness.
Of course, this could be a total coincidence, that exactly when I update the firmware, the battery “fails”. But it seems unlikely that my batter just stopped working properly. Last edited by ururk; 11-30-2021 at 08:32 AM. |

Try turning off wifi and reboot the device and see if that helps. Newer versions of the firmware actually seem pretty rabid about turning off wifi automatically, and it has helped battery life for me. |

The key though is turning off wifi first so it doesn't start a sync right after booting. And charge that battery! |

That was it! I was away from home at the time, and so it could never connect to the network it is setup to connect to. Feels like… poor programming on their part, but perhaps there’s a subtle reason it has to be this way.

There's definitely something wrong with this FW. Two weeks or less after doing a factory reset, and it's losing track of time again and draining overnight, even with automatic sync turned off. And after being plugged in for five minutes goes from 1% to 100%, which suggests something isn't refreshing correctly. If it's left alone for a bit, it stops counting time until it's able to sync to WiFi, which is a problem if you're off WiFi for a while.
No CBZ files on the device, so I'm wondering if it's a Kobo Plus problem. Last edited by Haesslich; 12-06-2021 at 09:30 AM. |
