3. monk127's suggestion (set "Wi-Fi sleep policy" to "never"-- more details) works well for me: as long as WiFi is on, waking from sleep always succeeds. If Airplane mode is on, waking from sleep still fails, requiring a hard reset.
If any Kobo developers are following this thread, and you need diagnostic information for debug purposes, let me know. |
Ok there appears to be a common Gingerbread 2.3.3 problem with wifi sleep policy. I have seen many many pages on google regarding this issue. Some are not related to wake from sleep problem, mainly all the ones regarding battery drain, but there are quite a few regarding wifi sleep policy disabling as a method of preventing wake from sleep with this version of the os. Hmmm.
Makes you wonder whether this is a problem that kobo caught from google android developers second hand? If you want just do a search for android 2.3.3 wifi sleep problem and see the huge number of entries that appear to be relevant.
Edit: Corrected spelling error that would mislead intent.
