PayPal Here Bluetooth reader no longer goes into sleep mode. Drains battery

The bluetooth reader (connected to Samsung Android tablet) used to go into sleep mode when idle for a period of time.  This had a known issue of failure to re-connect to tablet upon wake up.

Last week I installed the required pushed update on the reader and all went wel.

This, however, might have introduced a new problem.  Yesterday the reader would not go into sleep mode even when idle for an hour.  This meant it stayed connected to the device--good.  On the other hand, it meat the reader drained the battery very quickly and only lasted for about 5 hours rather than 8 hours or more.

Has anyone else had this experience?

I do have an email request into PayPal, but it will take a couple days and the answer isn't urgent today.  I'll post back when I do get more information.
