I confirm that the new firmware does not fix it. Mine seems worse after the update. I wish I had waited to update.

No better way to illustrate it to Sony.
To be honest, I wasn't sure what the exact issue was until I saw the video. It hasn't happened on my PRS-T1, but I have only finished one book on it, so I will be on the look out for it.

@pe1dnn, thanks taking the time to clearly demonstrate the problem to Sony and us "lucky" ones who haven't seen it yet.

Hi there, firstly im new here.
i have just recieved the device today and was reading about after my device crashed about 4 times within an hour.
i noticed this happened everytime the wifi was on but in power saver mode.
when i tried to use the browser the wifi wouldnt connect. so i disabled the power saving on in the wifi settings and my device hasnt crashed once.

I just thought i would post to let you guys know and hopefully get it sorted. can some one try it out and let me know if you have the same experiance.
thanks.

edit: also it seem's the issue got worse after the latest 1.0.02.10280 update.

As weird as it sounds this may actually be good news. When it gets worse it will be easier for Sony technicians to find and solve it and the worst it gets the higher the pressure on Sony becomes to fix it.

The only thing is, don't upgrade... There was a fix package floating around to bring the PRS-T1 back into factory condition in case on of the android rooting hacks gave a problem. Maybe that package can be used to downgrade to the original software too?

Firmware Update for PRST1 (1.0.03.11140)

Postby sonymod_mb » Sat Nov 19, 2011 9:14 pm
I’m pleased to announce that a firmware update for the Sony Reader model PRST1 is scheduled for release at the end of this month. This update is designed to resolve the dictionary, freezing and page flipping issues users have been reporting to Sony in the last few weeks. For more details of the issues, please see the previous announcement.

When the update is posted on Sony’s eSupport site we will also announce it here. Thank you for your patience in this matter.

Thank you to all the PRST1 Reader owners who have taken the time to report malfunctions in detail to Sony Support. Your assistance has been invaluable in assisting Sony engineering to replicate and resolve the issues.

This is perhaps a stupid question but I'm new to e-book readers. I'm planning to buy the PRS-T1 soon, that is, when I'm sure there is a fix for the issue discussed in this thread.

Does the bug also affect rooted devices running another e-book reading app than the one provided by Sony ?

That might also explain why they haven't bothered picking mine up yet for return... well, I guess their strategy kind of works, I might hold on to it if a solution is in sight by the end of the month.

It would depend on where the problem is. If the problem is an issue with the touch screen driver then its likely that it will. If however the fault is with the ebook software itself, then its unlikely to affect other apps.

At least with cars, most governments will force the manufacturers to do recalls on safety related items...

Isn't that what you wanted? You just have to wait until December.

Unhappy It got me....
Strange - I spoke too soon.
The T1 Home page froze this p.m.

Wouldn't respond to tapping, swiping or pressing any item at all.
A doornail could not be deader.

So remembering a previous post, I pressed the sleep button on and off about 8-10 times....and it freed up.

Mmmmm......

Oh, I haven't registered it, or loaded up Reader, or done any firmware fixing, but have used the browser, and d/loaded freebs from Gutenburg - so it's a virgin T1 from that point of view, never bin touched.

No, only in Sony reading app.

Fix is coming very soon, confirmed by Sony in link above.

That's why car / airplanes and other stuff have higher quality requirement, redundant system and all...

I can understand why this kind of random / don't happen on all reader bug would managed to slip though QA.
