bug? Vox spontaneously wakes up, flashes display, sleeps again

DHR · 01-18-2012, 01:12 AM

My new Kobo Vox, with latest firmware update, sometimes wakes up and then goes to sleep again.

This is kind of disturbing because I have it beside my bed, and the light sometimes wakes me up. The duration is short so I haven't seen what it is displaying.

I wonder if this affects battery life significantly. Clearly that depends on what else it is doing while awake.

Do others see this?

Is there a good reason for this behaviour, or is it a bug?

This is a known issue discussed at length in many posts in older threads...if you want to know more, do a search about wake from sleep within this forum.

I've seen it happen. It's probably more common than we realize, since you're not watching, especially if you keep the Vox in a book cover. I don't see it as a problem, other than it likely drains the battery more than necessary.

Thanks!

Before I posted, I tried googling but didn't find anything. A likely reason: I didn't use the same words to describe the problem.

This mentions the bug: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=163462

The Bug Catalog mentions "Wake From Sleep/'Sleep Death'" as the first bug but seems to mean something quite different and more serious.
