I can’t confirm it, but in the last month or two, I have experienced significant battery drain with my Oasis 1...on multiple occasions, I was shocked to see the battery case depleted much more rapidly than ever before as my reading habits (about 20-30 minutes before going to bed, with backlight 6-7) haven’t changed at all over the past few years.
I’ve started trying to troubleshoot it the last few days and I’ve noticed that after reboot, it seems to force the Bluetooth module on which I turn off. And then, I recognized that recently, it updated its software to 5.13.3.
Moreover, today, with the screen saver on, I see that the kindle oasis itself (taken out of its case to track drain), loses a few percent charge in an hour. At that rate, while idle, I am not surprised that my battery has depleted itself so rapidly. Previously, I think I could have any of my kindles sitting for weeks with minimal battery drain.
I don’t know if that is the cause, but it seems might suspicious given the release date of the firmware.
So I ask: has anyone else noticed any change in battery drain, while idle, with any of their kindles with the latest firmware update?
