After each crash or restart, the auto shut off time is reset to "Never", often resulting in the reader staying on for days and sucking the battery empty. This happens with both 5 and 15 minutes setting. It also doesn’t help to set Android’s timeout via the Debug Options → AOSP Settings.
My Vision 4 is finally working right (as of 14.1.0, I believe). I'm not sure what I did now, but it was something more than a Factory Reset. (Does the Tolino have a low-level memory wipe? It seems like that's what I did.) So there must have been some kind of corruption. (Maybe I've got some notes, somewhere — though it was one of those things I didn't think I would forget.)

At any rate there might be hope for you. My Vision 4 is retaining the 5 minute shut off setting now.

EDIT: I remember what I did now. I wiped all files and settings in Recovery Mode. I think I learned how to do it here (a German site)...

https://allesebook.de/anleitung/toli...y-modus-94661/

To get into recovery mode you simultaneously hold the "home" "key" (haptic key?) and the "light on" key, then touch the power key (while continuing to hold the other two keys. One of the options will be to "wipe all data settings" (or something like that). I did that and then upgraded, either to 13.2 or 14.1 (can't remember which) and the Vision 4 has worked right ever since.

(Just realized this will be different in the Vision 5, since it doesn't have these keys.)

Another Edit: Here's a German for getting recovery mode on a Vision 5.

As always, be cautious.

It looks like it's simpler for the Vision 5. Just completely turn it off, then hold the power button until the logo displays and then release it. From there it's supposed to switch to Recovery Mode on its own (takes a few seconds for this step, apparently).

To move in the Menu, you briefly press the power button. To make a selection you hold the power button.

EDIT YET AGAIN: You may know all of this and tried it — it's possible I just got lucky.
