Auto turn issues on Kobo Libra Colour
Hey everyone,
Is anyone else having issues with the auto turn/gyroscope feature on Koreader on their Kobo? Rotating the device works initially for a few hours but then after a while, the device stops registering any rotations and the screen does not change with the alignment. The only way to fix is a full re-boot. Really annoying! Loving Koreader otherwise. What an amazing, robust piece of software. Can’t live without it! |

Mine doesn’t do that. Is it possible that you mapped by mistake a gesture to disable the accelerometer, and somehow trigger it by chance?
Perhaps one test would be to have a look at the value of the checkbox in the menu at Gear -> Screen -> Rotation -> Ignore accelerometer rotation events when the auto rotation stops working. If it’s checked, then something must trigger it somehow. If not, then the issue has to be something else. |

Turns out, the issue is with the ‘keep rotation device locked across screens’ (or something similar) option - when it is checked, after a while, the problem occurs (the screen stops rotating according to the gyroscope). When I unchecked it, the device rotates freely, forever. While I do like having it checked and working, the drawback of rotation stopping working after awhile is a big deal for me. So I just leave it unchecked and enjoy my rotations hehe. And get annoyed that every time I go to the Home Screen, the device flips back to its default portrait mode… #firstworldproblems! Also - nothing fixes the issue but a hard reset - I’ve pushed every button! Thanks again. |
