I have mentioned on other threads that on 2 occasions, I have seen my Vox wake itself up out of sleep mode. INQ and Rdio were mentioned on another thread as possibly waking Vox up from sleep. I don't use these, at least not intentionally anyway. So I have some questions if anyone knows.

First, does INQ need to be running, or is it safe to turn them off? When I check my running services, I have one process and 5 services running for INQ. Is there anything else in the Vox that needs those running? I do not use Facebook and I never will, but, much to my surprise, I kind of get a kick out of the Pulse feature. I likely won't comment there (although I never say never, LOL!), but I enjoy seeing how many others might be reading the same book I am. Does Pulse need INQ?

And Rdio, can't see myself using that either, but if I want to, I'm quite happy to manually start it up. I sure don't need it running in the background all time.

Final question: If I manually shut off these 2 items, will they be come back on if the Vox is powered down and then restarted, or will they stay turned off unless I start them up again?

Can one of the Kobo developers chime in here?

Thanks!
