I've been having an issue that I believe others here have mentioned.

When I put my kobo vox to sleep it turns the Wifi off (as it is set to do) but often when I wake it up the wifi fails to startup again. Even trying to start the wifi from the settings menu doesn't work. Re-starting the kobo fixes the issue, but I shouldn't have to do that!

I've currently set the wifi to stay on all the time, however I'm concerned it will affect the battery life substantially.

EDIT: Setting the Wifi to always on, and using the wifi widget to turn the wifi off before I put it to sleep did not solve the problem. When I wake up the device and try to turn the wifi on it won't.

Is this a firmware issue, or should I exchange my vox?
