Aura H2O Quick Screen Refresh?

93terp · 08-30-2015, 10:27 AM

This used to work in previous firmware versions, and I thought I read that it was possibly reintroduced in 3.1X. Does anyone know if in fact this feature is still active? I can't seem to get it to work on my Aura H2O (3.17.3).

HOW TO QUICKLY REFRESH THE SCREEN:
... just double-touch the center area.

It's still in 3.17.3 firmware on the H2O: tap once somewhere in the middle so that the menu appears. Tap again to dismiss the menu and to refresh the screen.

Thanks eenk. I seem to remember when this was first introduced that the refresh was a result of a "quick" double tap; while the steps you mentioned do result in a refresh, they do require a somewhat more precise, "slower" approach. More than one way to skin the cat, and it works, so I'm good!

With firmware 3.17.0 and 3.17.3, a quick double tap in the middle of the screen does perform a screen refresh.

It was never a double tap. It was always a tap to display the menu and another to hide it. That might have happened quickly enough that you didn't see the menu, but that is the way it worked.

Thanks for clarifying. I misunderstood the true nature of the "double tap".
