Exclamation Possible bug: Reboot while using Web Browser (WITH TRIGGER)
Hey, I've been suffering this issue for ages (in different FWs) but I had never been able to find a clear and constant trigger...

The problem is that sometimes when I am using Web Browser and go to certain web pages, the device just reboots. It really seems like an Out-Of-Memory issue or something like that.

But, till now I hadn't been able to find a replicable web page trigger. It just "randomly" happened...

But every single time I go to:

http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/eread...-kindle-voyage

my AuraHD reboots...

Could you test please?

(OTOH if I look for "Kindle Voyage" in Google, it's in the 3rd or 4th position, although this is not a reliable indication as Google results are heavily localized, as you know).





But maybe this is not a bug at all... Maybe Kobo software is explicitly designed to censor any kind of possible link to its main competitor...

I tried the site, and my Glo restarted as well... It took me a few minutes to type it all in... lol

Although, to be fair, the review did state at the end the readers could just buy a Kobo instead... hehehe

Because of that I posted the Google search hint...

Nevertheless, thanks for your test. Glad to know it's replicable even in other model.

I think it's more to do with the content of the site... I don't have the time now, but I'd like to know if it also does it with other pages from the same site...

This URL works correctly on a Glo with the current Beta build of the f/w.
