Zazou, my Vox freezes when it comes out of sleep mode regardless of what I do. Wifi on, wifi off, airplane mode on, airplane mode off, turn wifi off and leave for a minute before putting in sleep mode, manually using sleep mode, letting it sleep by itself...or if it's a day of the week ending in the letter 'y', LOL!
Before the firmware update, the freezing was intermittent. After the firmware update it was fine for that day, but ever since the Vox was shut down and charged overnight after the firmware update, the Vox consistently freezes each and every time I bring it out of sleep mode. I've run it without the anti-malware, I tried uninstalling it. (I'm using Lookout, trial version, and it started it's final 7 day countdown the same day this problem with the Vox started.) I had been using a photo from the Gallery for wallpaper, so I changed back to one of the Kobo wallpapers. Same thing. Nothing stops this. On one occasion, I actually managed a few taps, I was starting a book and feeling hopeful, and then it froze, but other than that one time, the freeze is one of the following:
--screen stays black, no response
--unlock screen comes on and I can unlock, but Vox is unresponsive after that
--can unlock and tap on one thing, like perhaps the apps menu, and then Vox is unresponsive after that
At this point, I think about all I can do is not let it go into sleep mode and if I'm going to not be using it for an extended period (like longer than 1/2 an hour, because 30 minutes is the longest time you can prevent sleep), I'll just completely shut it off. This might be kinder than constantly doing hard resets. At least until the next firmware update.
I have no desire to root or hack, I just want to enjoy the product. Which I do. I would just enjoy it a lot more if this wasn't happening.
P.S. I've reinstalled Lookout and my gallery picture as wallpaper, changing these didn't make a difference anyway.
