Kindle PaperWhite Swipe to Unlock problem
I just removed ads on my Kindle by paying the $20 to amazon. I also added some custom wallpapers. I don't know at what point it started but now every time I open my case, the screen automatically unlocks. I'd prefer that it wait for me to swipe the screen to unlock. I have some nice wallpapers including a nice portrait of Emma Stone that I would love to actually be able to admire. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I assume you have thought of the null solution: any time you want to view a screensaver image, press the power button to put it to sleep after opening the cover and waking it up.
Otherwise, your only hope is a hack to alter the behavior of the magnetic sensor event so that it wakes without unlocking. Which I will admit strikes me a strange, after you pay $40 for an 'active' cover from Amazon. Or surgically alter your cover to insert a transparent window. |

Where exactly is the magnet that enables this feature? I'd forgotten all about that when I ordered a non-Amazon case. Do you think that it could work with a piece of magnetic tape?
google to the rescue! https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...9&postcount=68 Quick in-thread answer? The switch is in the lower right corner of the frame. Magnet on, Kindle shuts down in a couple seconds. Magnet off, Kindle wakes up almost immediately. Last edited by SampleAndy; 02-07-2013 at 06:39 PM. |
