New Firmware -- AT&T USA
Hi Everyone, There is in fact a new firmware for AT&T rolling out now. I'm trying to update, but first download attempt failed. I did two factory resets (one soft through the web admin, and the...
Since the M1's auto firmware update this morning (once the device auto rebooted for some reason), I have had:
1) devices kicked off the M1's wifi
2) devices cannot log back into the M1 unless I manually reboot the M1
Also, I do not know if this were the same behavior as before this morning's firmware update, but tonight:
3) when I took out the battery and just plugged in a QC 2.0 charger into the M1, with almost no network activity the M1 internal temp reached over 45degreesC. I am thinking this is too hot?
4) with just the battery installed (no charger), the internal temperature also reached over 45 degreesC. Again, with little network activity. Now, I do not recall it got this hot when the M1 was virtually idle.
This afternoon when I had the battery on about one hour, I notice the internal temp also reaching over 40degreesC with minimal network activity, and the battery seemed to discharge rather quickly (again, this is subjective).
Anyone notice the same after the firmware update?
I tested the M1 yesterday for about five hours (after the updated)
It was a very frusturating experience, to say the least. The M1 kept on disconnecting my three devices every 1-25 minutes, and once a device was disconnected, they were unable to log back on to the M1 until I manually rebooted the device.
I ran tests with the battery only, battery + wall charger, on wall charger only - same behavior.
For the last hour, I decided to reset the M1 to Factory (using the Settings|Administration|Factory Reset option when logged into the device from my laptop)
After the Factory Reset, I noticed that the battery temperature came back ! Long story short, I ended up stress testing the M1 for the entire hour and NO DISCONNECTS !!! This morning, I am just wrapping up two more hours on M1, again no disconnects. I guess the Factory Reset did the job.
I will report back if I find anything else out.
