Aura One Settings Menu

Is there a way to turn off the settings menu at the top and bottom while reading. I often read while laying down and I spend half that time clicking out of the settings that I accidently open. It's so annoying.

Thanks!

How would you turn it back on when you need it?

There is a patch that allows both forward and backward tap zones to go page forward.
You use the swipe motion to go page backward, if needed.

Have you tried one of the other tap zone setups in the settings? Depending on exactly where you are accidentally tapping, there might be a better choice.

Could you point me to the way to install the patch.

Thank you!

We understand what you are saying happens. But, to help, we need to know details. Such as, which tap area option are you using? Or where are you tapping that it keeps opening menu? Is it opening when you tap an area that supposed to open the menu? What is "constantly"? Every time you try to turn the page? Or one in ten times or something else? Maybe it is related to how you hold the device? Maybe a finger is on the edge confusing thing. And, what firmware version are you running?

I don't remember seeing a report like this before. A more common problem is highlighting accidentally. Most times there are issues with tapping and not getting the desired result, changing the tap zones helps. Or, swiping only gets rid of it.
