![]() Hi, sorry for unearthing such an old thread, but as I stumbled across the very same problem and found this thread via Google, I'd like to add what worked for me: If you cannot sort it out, give Amazon CS a call but maybe don't mention that you've replaced the battery (unless it was done by an approved Amazon repairer). It always seems better for me to leave it hooked up to the charger for a few more hours (or overnight) even after the green light just goes on. I only need to charge it every couple of weeks, maybe once a week if I've been using 3G a bit.Īnother thing I've noticed with my DXG, from the start, was that if you just charge it until the green light goes on, I don't think it's really fully charged. I then put it back on charge overnight, repeating the process.Īfter a few days doing this, my DXG seemed to be back to normal battery life. Then I took it off the charger, did a menu/settings/restart and read for a while (hour or 2). I tried a few things but what seemed to work for me was to charge it up overnight, take it off the charger in the morning, do a menu/setting/restart, then put it back on the charger all day till I got back from work. However, I then started to notice the battery bar going down a lot faster than normal and like you I seemed to need to recharge it at least every 2 days, or even 1 day if I had been using 3G. When I got home I charged it up overnight and it seemed fine the next morning. I had a similar thing happen to me earlier this year after I accidentally let my DX run too long and got a low battery alarm, then shutdown. I really look forward to a solution so that I can start enjoying this wonderful reader as it should! Your experience and help will be grately appreciated. If possible, also how to identify what processes are running in the background and how to kill them off. I am desperately in need for someone to help me solve this irritating problem of having to charge it every couple of days. Also, there are only about 10 books (including some in PDF) in my Kindle DX. I have also did search for non-existence word but always return with "0 find" and it is not showing any reindexing at all. ![]() So far, I have tried Restart and Reset to Factory Default (from the menu) several times but the problem persists. It seems to me that some processes are always runing irrespective of where the machine is in sleep-mode or completely switched off! Therefore, I doublt it is the faulty battery problem. Even with the Kindle DX switch-off (blank screen instead of sleep mode), the battery is discharging! I have changed to a new battery (purchased from ) but the same thing happens. All this while 3G is off and I hardly use the search/find function. Every time I charge it full (usinng household main power with the supplied Amazon charger/USB cable for overnight) and the battery lasted less then 2 days, with probably 2 hours reading each day. My Kindle DX Graphite is only about half a year old and is running version 2.5.8. ![]() I have read the earlier thread on this subject and follow every methods memtioned but I'm still having this problem:. ![]()
