Hi, I run firmware version 3.3.0 on the kobo glo. The version of startmenu I'm using is 4. (without the update) The problem I'm facing is that the screen automatically freezes after being left for a while. Any solutions to this?

Steps to reproduce :
1. Install startmenu 4
2. When the device starts up and enters startmenu, leave it idle for a while (~10s)
3. Screen freezes. Only a pin reset can bring it back.

The same happens to apps launched from startmenu too. For example, koreader launched from startmenu too freezes up on being left idle for a short while. Looking forward to your help!

There were two similare reports by Cyphox (starting with post https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=179) and WS64. WS64 got rid of the problem after he replaced the internal sd with another. Cyphox seems also to have overcome the problem in some way, since he seems still/again to be using the Start Menu.

One difference however, if I remember correctly, between their case and yours is that they did not have this problem when they started koreader via fmon from nickel.

Your case is however similar to theirs as the device doesn't seem to freeze if it is kept busy. Cf. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=182 and https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=185. Maybe you could try this too. It will not really help you with koreader, but it might confirm that it helps keeping the device somehow busy and maybe someone will be able to figure out what is going wrong.
