Hi, everyone. Although I have also seen problems with the daisy reader, a
reset usually fixed the problem. I had heard people's concerns with getting
a low battery warning at a high percentage of battery life. I couldn't speak
to this as my battery hadn't drained down since I had upgraded. However, Now
I can.
I got my battery down to 30 percent and was told this with read escape. I
read a few chapters of a book then went to load another. Without any warning
of battery low or critical, my braille note reset itself.  I had to do a
service reset to get it started again. I had to reset the clock.
After coming up in the main menu, a read escape told me I was at one
percent.
How in the world could I have dropped from 30 percent to one percent in 15
minutes?
I have never had this problem until upgrading to 7.2.
It just amazes me how HW could put out an upgrade which is so blatantly full
of bugs.
I am astounded that a product could be beta tested for over eight weeks and
no one reported such obvious problems  as  the daisy book reader or battery
issues, nor the various other problems we have found since the release of
this upgrade.
If I had been allowed to be on the beta team, this would not have happened
under my watch, I can assure you, not if I had any say in the matter. I have
a masters degree in business with an emphasis in information systems and a
bachelor in computer applications and systems.
If I had handed in programs with major bugs in them like this, my professors
would have given me an f. 
I said this three years ago on this list to Larry Lewis when users were
finding numerous flaws in that version of keysoft. 
I cannot imagine why HW would hand such flawed code to their users.  
If these guys were in school and handing this stuff to their professors, do
they think it would be tolerated? Don't they have any pride in their work? 
I was really excited when this upgrade came out. Now, I wish I had stayed at
7.01 and hadn't upgraded.
