It seems like a change was made to fix the "deep sleep" issue. If you bought between 9/2013 and 12/2013, how are things going?

After dealing with an HP inkjet fax in my restaurant that kept jamming and having dried up ink from, I decided I needed a compact laser that would fit in the allocated area.This fit the bill, except that it was white and every other piece of equipment in the area was black. Once I unboxed the unit, I used masking tape to cover the black areas and any open electronics. Using a simple flat black can of spray paint, I was able to make it all black. Nobody can tell it was painted even when I point it out to them. First problem fixed. I have had the unit for about 7 months and it has performed flawlessly. It even uses the same toner as a wireless Brother printer I have which is a bonus as well. This past week of course, I encountered the DEEP SLEEP curse that so many people speak of. The machine will do half a ring and act weird, but will not receive faxes. After some research and playing around, there is a solution, even though Brother has decided to hide the feature. You ARE able to disable DEEP SLEEP. Go to General Settings, Ecology, Sleep Mode. When it asks you to change the time before sleep, simultaneously press the START and DOWN ARROW buttons. You will now get the hidden option to Disable DEEP SLEEP mode. Disable it and enjoy your fax for many years to come.

Look at my customer review dated September 20, 2012. Maybe it can help you out with a alternative solution.

It's a problem with the machine. It would do that whenever mine went to sleep and started up again. I tried everything, and talked to everyone with no success. I returned it. I got the V5-552PG-x809 when it went down to $669 and it is incredible. Everything works as it should.

I purchased mine last week & have had no issues with smell or auto wake/sleep. From other reviews I've read, it seems like people posting those issues have been sent replacements and edited their feedback.

Not sure what your version (1.17) has/hasn't but I needed the update (to 1.37, dated 2009 May 04?) to allow the alarm to select only certain days, you know alarm 1 @5:15am on M-F and alarm 2 for whenever else I need it. With my old alarm, I was constantly forgetting to turn it back on, on Sunday.Then there's the backlight (or should I say "searchlight"?) MANY are waiting for a firmware update so you can dim it. Right now it's either off or "ON!!!" It's interesting to note I had a chance to play with the Aluratek AIREC01F and even though the interface is the same pressing the light button on the remote didn't turn it on/off. It was closer to a three-way bulb; cycling through three levels of brightness and off.HTH,-Scott Not sure what your version (1.17) has/hasn't but I needed the update (to 1.37, dated 2009 May 04?) to allow the alarm to select only certain days, you know alarm 1 @5:15am on M-F and alarm 2 for whenever else I need it.

This is the latest model... 2013 was the manufacturing year, I have had no major issues with it. Its not a computer so you will need to allow for a initial efficient load time for smooth function off the bat. It has a lot of programs to boot. Install firmware update immediately, improves functions a lot... Love it!

I had my 3210 stop working just the other day... I went to the HP download site after I uninstalled my 3210 and did a complet new download. I seems to be working just fine now. As far as new updates, I don't know if any are available. I love this machine and hope it keeps working...try doing what I did and see if that works, it's worth the try.

Sorry -- believe it or not we once again had a really unexpected rush on these again. We have to project sales three months in advance based on history, and even though we have increased our stocks and order more, sales once again increased much more than anticipated. Our regular scheduled delivery for re-stocking is around the 15th or 17th of the month. We have once again increased the frequency and quantity of re-stocking so to try to avoid these out of stocks. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. Rick

My est. shipping date got bumped to January 27 - February 15 when i changed shipping speed But since I'm overseas right now and won't be back until Jan. 31 that's fine with me.Would have liked it to be here before my business trip, but you can't always win. All the 64Gb models seems to have been delayed until after christmas as far as I saw in a few forums.

I have had mine since Halloween of 2013 and today is May 31, 2014, and it is still like I got it just yesterday. I crawl in, it feels firm, then it contours to my body. Since I bought it, I have slept so well. I rarely wake up in the middle of the night. Recommended!

Okay so I got the N53SV-XE1 today and everything seems to be in order. The manufacture date is in February and it had a sticker on the side that said "current revision certified", so I'm sure it's not affected barring taking apart the back and getting the chipset serial. It's back up on Amazon now too, which is also a good sign. Review forthcoming once I have more time to play with it. :)

I have only had my Coby for a little over a week and decided that doing the firmware upgrade was probably a good idea. I noticed mine wasn't on the most recent release. I figure that they have probably had a few of these machine instock for a while so the firmware wouldn't be up to date.

I bought mine in early December. I have had no issues at all, WiFi or otherwise (at home or at work). Works great!

There is problems with it according to Raven's review posted today (I believe). According to that post, you can go to their website and they have an update.

We are now at the end of the 4th quarter, well past the dates in the responses to this question. Did it update as expected? I am familiar with Jellybean, really like it as a hassle-free tech experience, and am prepared to buy this TV right away if it has that pedigree. Does it?

The most recent one? I think so, I got my 7" on black friday, so unless something's changed since then you should be fine!
