I'm sorry, I'm confused. I thought the SOD and the wake from sleep thing were one and the same problem. What my experience was with this is that if I placed the Vox in sleep mode or if I let it go to sleep on its own and my wifi was off, then when I woke it up from sleep, the Vox would be frozen. I could get the screen and sometimes the slider would work, sometimes I was permitted one function afterward and then the Vox would freeze solid and I would have to do the 10 second reset thing to restart it. I haven't fussed with this for months now, I just leave wifi on. If I'm at home, I put the Vox to sleep and put it on the charger. If I'm away, I turn the Vox right off when I'm not using it to preserve the battery power. Our vehicle has a 110 outlet so if we're on the road, I take my charger with me and I can charge the Vox on the go.
I haven't tested it with the wifi off since the update, laziness on my part, I guess. I just want to read and I sometimes browse a bit on the web, but I've become weary of fussing with the thing. I'm really enjoying the Vox as a reader, and for me the biggest plus is that I can purchase and read books from different sources, be it my public library (Overdrive), Sony, or Kindle. I don't mind having to use several different apps to do it.
I haven't had any problems with the recent update. I had one facebook nag thing come up the first time I opened a Kobo book, reminding me I wasn't logged into facebook, etc. I chose whatever option said I didn't want to connect to facebook and hoped I wouldn't see this each time I opened a Kobo book. I'm not on facebook and I'm not interested in 'social reading'. The facebook nag box, thankfully, has not come up again.
The recommended reading icon is at the bottom of my screen, but it doesn't bother me. I don't have to look at it. I preferred the 'reading now' icon, though, and I did use it sometimes, but I see it is now gone.
