Oasis Auto-Reboots When Idle

HogDrvr · 01-10-2021, 03:05 PM

My 10th Gen Oasis will often reboot on it's own when it is sitting idle. I have never had it do it while I was reading. Does anybody else's do this? Remedy?

Firmware 5.13.3

My PW4 has spontaneously rebooted at least 4 times since I applied the latest update. That said, I had not been using it much prior to that, so it may not be anything new. I guess we can look forward to a ‘bug fix and stability’ update.

Are both the Oasis and the PW4 on 5.13.3 or is @tomsem's PW4 on 5.13.4?

My PW4 is on 5.13.4.

I upgraded mine to 5.13.4 just today so I'll have to see if that makes any difference. I'm starting to think maybe it has to do with new advertisements downloading?? My Oasis has the "special offers". I might experiment with staying in Airplane mode for awhile.

My PW4 does not have special offers. I never turn on Airplane mode.

My leading theory is that some of the larger ebooks I have downloaded (‘complete works of dickens’ etc) and subsequent background indexing causes some problems, or maybe just issues with having 4000+ items in my library. But it could easily be something else.
