I would like to share the following issues I'm facing with my M3 and software 1.3.26290:

The Power Saving mode, newly introduced, puts my M3 in a NO NETWORK status (fixed blue LED) after a while when not used, and the only way I can have it back into the network is a power off/on.

When powered on, the volume of the sound is very high at the very first use post power on, despite the configured volume setting (I think this has happened to M5 users several software versions ago)

Does anyone faces such issues?

I have the same fw version, but have not the powersave activated. I think the power consumption in standby is minimal anyway.

If so minimal what is the benefit of this option then? I’ve not seen any description, and it does not seem to behave properly anyway.

Is Power Saving mode checked on yours? I'm trying to identify if it could be linked to this setting, the only one I changed recently, or if it is linked to something else. I'll see tomorrow anyway if turning Power Saving mode off has changed the behavior.

Since I turned power saving option off I no longer have the issue.

I checked with a tool and power consumption is around 2 - 3 watts in standby.
