Odd behaviour

[Kboland]

Just got my Vox 2 days ago, but have been following this forum for about a month now in anticipation I have gotten the Google Market up and running without any problems, and have had no indication that my unit suffers from the SOD issues plaguing so many (knock on wood). One thing I do find odd about my unit, and was wondering if anyone else has seen similar behaviour, is that no matter what the setup (be it airplane mode, wi-fi or auto sync on/off or any combination of the 3) the unit while sleeping, turns itself on and displays the lock screen for a few seconds every two minutes like clockwork. This behaviour was present right out of the box, prior to any side-loading or Market setup tweaks. Not the end of the world as I tend to turn it off fully anyway when not in use, but odd none the less. Anyway just wondering if anyone else had seen the same.

Cheers

That is the wake from sleep (WFS) issue, noticed since day one, still not fixed with the latest update. As you have discovered, turning it completely off is the workaround. Mine doesn't wake that often, just occassionally but it is the same issue.

Ah. Right thanks for the info hpulley. Although I am loving my new unit, and well aware of its hardware limitations, i can't help but think the Vox was rushed out Kobo's front door for the holidays. Ah well, just have to wait paitently until the bugs are fumigated out

I followed the instructions found here:

I used Dropbox and usb transfering to get all the .apk files onto the unit.
