Screensaver Ghosting when coming out of sleep

james3clarke · 11-18-2023, 04:14 PM

Using Kindle Paperwhite SE and October Ovis release

When my Kindle goes to sleep I have my screensaver set to be the book cover but when it comes out of sleep the book cover is "ghosted", I hope that makes sense, behind the text. I can get it to refresh by initiating the top menu and closing the menu again. Has anyone else had this issue?

This seems to be happening when the kindle is sleeping for a while i.e. over an hour. Going to sleep then re-opening immediately doesnt seem to have the issue.

We have very little control of the timing of refreshes on suspend/resume on Kindle, so it's the best it's ever going to be

. (Without being overly heavy-handed and triggering delayed extra refreshes, which are effectively more annoying).

(But, yes, you're not imagining things, and the subtleties you noticed make sense).

Great, thanks for the response.
