# Firmware 4.3.0 Released

NSFWHandy Team Update
This release focuses on firmware update reliability, charging and battery behavior, and general stability. Most of the changes are things you notice when something goes wrong — updates that recover instead of failing, and charging that behaves sensibly with less-than-ideal chargers.


## Firmware updates


- Firmware updates are faster and more reliable, so an update is less likely to stall or fail partway through.
- Devices that lose power or get interrupted during an update now recover on their own instead of being left in a broken state.
- Update failures now report a clearer reason, which makes it much easier for support to tell what actually went wrong if you ever need help.


## Charging and battery


- Charger detection and handling were improved, particularly with slow chargers and chargers that aren't recommended for the device. The device is better at deciding what it can safely draw.
- The device now reports when it is charging slowly, so you can tell the difference between a bad charger and an actual charging problem.
- Fixed a bug where charging could get stuck repeatedly starting and stopping when using a non-recommended charger.
- Battery level reading and power handling were improved, so the reported charge level is more accurate and jumps around less.
- Fixed the battery status LEDs sometimes staying on too long when turning the device off.


## Device behavior


- LED behavior was improved, including a fix where temporary LED indications did not always return the LEDs to their normal state afterwards.
- Fixed handling of motor and leadscrew settings used by the maintenance routines, so those functions behave correctly on all units.
- Device status reporting to the app was expanded, giving the app a more complete picture of what the device is doing.


## Stability


- The device does less unnecessary background work after starting up, which frees up resources for normal operation.
- Device configuration data is now stored and recovered more robustly, reducing the risk of settings being lost.
- Internal groundwork for future products.


## File Change Summary


- 164 files changed. 27,876 insertions. 4,619 deletions


## Rollout


Available now as opt-in for devices on the staging environment, rolling out to staging devices over the next few days. Production usually follows a few days later — the release then becomes available as opt-in for everyone and is gradually rolled out to all users over the next 3–4 weeks.
