The beta group never had a production build to test (not unusual), but the last beta we did test needed to have WiFi set to never for most, but not all, of the folks who had the sleep of death problem. I can't begin to tell you how much time went into trying to solve this before this build. My best guess is that so many features were added to the Kobo App and so many other issues were resolved, that they decided to release it even though it is not perfect, yet.
It was definitely a good example of being between a rock and a hard place, from my POV. I may be speaking a bit out of school in commenting about this, but I did want to tell you what I observed as a member of the beta group as Kobo developers tried so hard to get this right.
Chances are, the fix will turn out to be something that has the developers slapping their heads in disbelief when it is figured out. I have had similar things happen to me in my work when something was just not working and I couldn't get it right--until suddenly I could.
