Tablet Page doesn't turn

Recommended Posts

Hi

I had a Hannspree tablet bought me for my 75th birthday today.

 

I have never touched one before and I have it working but I have 2 problems.

 

1. The page does not turn from portrait to landscape format when I turn the tablet.

 

2. I cannot get the separate keyboard to operate on the screen.

 

I'm hoping it my lack of knowledge and not a tablet fault.

 

Can anyone advise as there is no instructions with the tablet.

 

Much appreciate any help.

The rotation lock will be a setting - possibly in the swipe down menu - it should look like a arrow going round.

If not try settings > display > rotation lock or auto rotate to something similar

Hi CPC464

 

Thanks for the advice. I couldn't find the settings icon at first but found it untitled on the screen as a dot matrix. From there it was easy to find the auto rotate which was shut off.

The screen is now working ok.

 

I have also found a copy of a Hannspree manual on the net so I'm going to try to find why the keyboard is not working on the screen. I guess it will be something simple.

 

The problem with the Hannspree is they did not supply a manual and never having worked on a tablet I was in total darkness wondering if there was a fault on it.

 

Thankyou again for your help, I hope my comments on here help someone else.

 

Happy Days! PopT

For the keyboard, you may need to alter the "Input method" settings
