Voyage back buttons not always working
The back page press buttons seem to stop working after a while necessitating a reboot. I am on firmware 5.8.1 and NiLuJe's 8/1 updates for python, screensaver, font hacks. Not sure if this is a software or hardware issue. Anyone know? I have just noticed this behavior recently (last 2 or 3 weeks). It works fine after a reboot.

Those should not interfere with the buttons.

Try updating to 5.8.2 and see if Amazon fixed the problem.
(The 'works fine after reboot' indicates they have/had a firmware problem.)

Updated. Will see how it goes over the next few days. Thanks.

Where (meaning in which app/context)?

There's a known (mysterious) issue like that mentioned on github with KOReader, FWIW (buttons going kaput after a suspend session).

Other than that, that'd be news to me, but then I don't have a Voyage .

Well, then that sort of makes it certain then that it is a Lab126 error.

Those buttons need a Lab126 kernel driver and they messed up the 'entering suspend' and 'exiting suspend' cases in the driver.

Hmm....
I see to recall seeing warnings in the dmesg file about some of their drivers "taking an excess amount of time" to suspend and wake-up.
(kernel 3.x versions just spit out a warning and do the process anyway - screw the hardware if it isn't ready)

= = = = =

And if the O.P. has the screensaver 'last' option set, they would not get any indication that the device had gone to sleep.

Yes I did have last option set. I haven't had the issue crop up again since installing 5.8.2.

Super! (en_IBM)
A good chance that they fixed the problem then.
