2, Did a factory reset, still had problems.
3, Applied 3.19.5761 again after the reset, no change as in problem still there.
4, Downgraded to 3.19.5613, same problem.
5, Downgraded to 3.18.0, worked fine as it did from the start.
6, Factory reset again and then immediately upgraded to 3.19.5761, same problem again.
7, Tried using the patch (that i never even tried before so not what was/is the problem), same problem's again.
8, Down to 3.18.0 again (after i undid the patch on 3.19) which works fine again.

I have an H2O and I've never had any of these problems. I'm on the 3.19.5763 version firmware.

The problem i have is two different problems.
1, is that whatever file i try to open pdf/txt/epub/kepub/mobi and a couple of others the first time i "open" the file it opens to a blank page and only shows the title nothing else.
And after that i can do nothing have tried clicking/tapping everywhere and waited for minutes absolutely nothing happens.
If i press the powerbutton and set the kobo to sleep and wake it up again i can tap and gets the menu and can go back to library/etc and then i can open the same file again and it works fine (BUT only the same file).

And by fine i mean it works like it should and it works just as fast as on fw 3.18 to flip pages zoom/etc.
But if i close it and try ANY other file its a blank screen with title again and a sleep/wakeup makes that file work fine and no other files (including the one i tried before) works without sleep/wakeup.

It is the same for free books from kobo and imported files from calibre and i could put them on internal (with or whitout a sd card plugged in) or sd card (tried two sd card) with no difference at all webbrowser and games i did not even try.

I've never seen any of these issues on my H2O. I also make sure that all ePub I put on my H2O has been validated with epubcheck and they all pass no problem before going on my H2O. Maybe some of the eBooks you've put on has errors that are causing problems.

Have been reading for a couple of hours in the last 3 days after this and 3.18 works as it used to so i have a hard time believing it could be a hardware issue.
If it where a hardware issue some problem would probably have shown up by now right?
So anyone have any thoughts on what the h*?

My suggestion is to stay with 3.18.0 and wait for the next version firmware.
