For some official firmware releases for the Kobo H2O I seldom experience my H2O to not react to any display touch after wake-up. Opening and closing the sleep cover properly awakens or sends the device to sleep. The power button also works correctly, awakening my H2O or putting it to sleep again. Yet the IR touch doesn't awake even if I send the reader back to sleep and then wake it up again. The only working solution is to reboot the H2O, this brings back normal IR touch reaction. I don't notice any other errartic IR behavior, luckily.

Anyone else experiencing these sporadic, but luckily rare, IR touch outages? I've never seen anything like that mentioned here, but maybe no-one ever bothered to bring up this rare topic?

Firmware is currently at 3.17.3, sideloaded. I've seen this problems also with 3.17.0 as well as at least two or so previous firmwares; I've only upgraded to those firmwares that there actually released for the H2O. No patches installed. Almost stock configuration, with the exception that the option for showing the "hiding headers/footers" option is enabled, but I have disabled the option itself -- due to the well-known problems with kebups.
