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.

Hello BionicGecko and thanks for the advice.

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.

Hi, I have been noticing the same issue, except it persists even after ticking off the 'keep rotation device locked across screens' thing,
It works initially as you noticed but stops working after a hour or two maybe, not super annoying as I just adjust the orientation manually but yeah, it is there
