Today this happened to me. I hit the sleep/on/off button. The screensaver kicked in, but the light remained on. I'll be watching this thread to see what happens.
UPDATE: I did the 15 second reboot and it appears to have fixed the issue (for now). I suspect its being caused by a magnet in the cover. People here are mentioning their Paperwhite magnetic clasp in the post. I have an old Sony generic Reader cover with a magnet on the clasp I am using. Ocassionally the magnet is turning on and off the unit. I think this is confusing the software when to turn on and off the light. Last edited by solitarywolf; 10-17-2012 at 08:50 PM.

Possibly.... Yes. I'm guessing the magnet is causing an issue. Unless someone here can stay theirs has the light issue and not a magnetic cover?

Mine did this for the first time yesterday. I don't have the cover so that's not the problem, at least for mine. Only after I restarted it did it go back to normal. Otherwise every time it went to sleep or I turned it off the light would stay on whichever setting it was on.

Mine happened with the official magnetic cover. When it got into that state, even with the flap all of the way open (magnet as far away as possible), pressing the power button would go to the sleep screen, but not turn off the light. I don't think it's the magnetic cover.

Got another call from Amazon. Looks like they're serious about fixing the problem. I pointed them to this discussion to see that there are more occurrences than just mine. If you have any information to add, now's the time, they might be looking soon. :-)

Sorry to go OT but that is a mock up in your avatar right? I haven't been following developments in the kindle rooting world for a while...

I made a new one when I got my Paperwhite, but it's not as visually interesting, especially shrunken to this size, so I left this one and have the other one on my profile page... Last edited by twowheels; 10-18-2012 at 05:18 PM. |

The problem doesn't bother me unless one day I wake up to a dead battery before I go to work. Thanks again for sharing your information! |
