Boox Nova broken after firmware update V2.1.2 (20190615)

Nova Series
#1

Hi,

Bought my Nova in March this year, loved it and until last week it worked fine.
A few days ago I updated to firmware V2.1.2(20190615) and suddenly I have lots of problems:

  • battery drain from 100% to zero in less than 24 hours without using the Nova
  • doesn’t go to sleep when I close the cover
  • frequent crashes… very difficult to restore
  • when it finally works again the interface is very very sluggish and in the end it keeps crashing

I tried:

  • multiple restarts
  • factory resets via the interface and via the recovery mode
  • reinstalled firmware update V2.1.2

No luck…
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ron

I have the same problem with battery drain after updating my Boox Note(
Support says that maybe aging battery, but I has been using the device just since 11.2018.

Slow / failed startup

I also started to notice battery draining issues on my Nova Pro

With Simple System Monitor i have in my case narrowed it down to atleast one app that triggers it.

I use Pocket a lot and that is one of the apps that makes the contentbrowser (android system process) keep using cpu between 8-25%.

Which ofcourse drains battery.

I have tried a factory reset, but that did not help. I have also send this through feedback app.

Tested some more apps. Also seeing the same occur with wattpad, play books and the amazon kindle app.

I can’t send request to submit on Feedback, server doesn’t response. So I have a question:
I have bought my device less 9months ago, could you send me the battery for replacement on warranty (I want to replace myself) OR where can I buy (order) a battery for replacement?
Can’t find a battery for Note on internet.
Here someone has the same problem with a battery.

Look like there are many users who got their Boox battery ruined after updating,including me.
My guess is that the battery is of low quality and can’t endure the updating process!
