Hello everybody!
Well yesterday I tried to place a call when I was in landscape mode, but when I try tu use the phone application when I am in landscape, it simply freeze my magician and I have to soft reset it. No way to use the phone app anymore (in landscape...when I am in portrait mode, I have no problem at all).
Any of you know from where it could come?
Thx by advance.

This must be a bug?
I swap to landscape mode using display settings.
All is well until I open and close the keyboard. It swaps BACK to portrait mode and even sets display-settings back to portrait!!
So there's no way for me to setup the device to stay landscape all the time and use the keyboard :/
Someone tell me there's a hack to fix this weird behaviour?
Hi!
Is it possible to always keep HTC wizard in landscape mode?
I can change it manually by tapping on screen or by HW button. But it reverts to portrait every time I close the keyboard. Since I use the keyboard 98% of time it takes forever every time the screen rotates.
Does anyone of you guru's know of any reg hack or something else that can keep landscape all the time?
Regards,

VJ come through with a fix (again)
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=928836&page=1&pp=15
See the post from me (a042349) near the bottom of page one. It's a bit of a hack, but it'll work until the next soft reset.
Go to "settings" "system" tab and select screen. There is an option ot select Portrait, Right handed Landscape or left handed landscape.
Re: VJ come through with a fix (again)
a042349: tnx!
This is the soloution you described:
-----------
Start the camera application which puts the phone in landscape mode. Then use a 3rd party utility like "Close-All" or maybe even the native task manager (can't remember exactly) to "kill" the camera app. As long as you kill the camera app without using it's "x" or exiting normally, the device will stay in landscape mode. It stays this way if you open/close the keyboard. It will return to normal mode if you re-open the camera and close it normally, or soft reset the device.

I tried this on my wizard. But couldn't get it working. I've tried closing the camera app with VJOKButt, VBAR and the native task manager. It stays in landscape mode until I close the keyboard next time. IE exactly the same behavoiur as when manually changing to landscape mode in settings.
May be this is due to all these programs close the camera app to nicely? Or can it be this isn't working on the latest AKU2 ROM?
Anyone got an idéa?

Not working for me too. Maybe something with wm6? God, someone has to hack the wizard about this problem!
Thank you guys for tryin'
registry keys
I know this thread is somewhat inactive but I just got an 8125 and really wanted to figure this out. I did some poking around in the registry and some experimentation and found the registry keys that seem to do what we want.
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\CamAppActive - 0 is off, 1 is on. When this is 1 it keeps the screen from rotating. This seems to be why the camera workaround worked.
Set CamAppActive to 1, then go to settings/system/screen and switch the landscape lefthanded mode. Now the phone is in landscape and theres no laggy switching between portrait and landscape every time you open the keyboard ! To cancel it out just open and close the camera or soft-reset.
This could also be used to keep the screen in portrait whenever the keyboard is open....but i have no idea why anyone would want to do that.
If i knew more about messing around with the registry and programming for WM I'd try to work out some sort script to set this on startup..maybe when i get bored...
can any one tell me, what I need to do to keep KJAM screen all the time in landscape?
i mean I linke the screen in landscape- also after I open and close the keyborad.

There is a fix here - well at least till you soft reset again. I can confirm it works on my wizard.
I suppose its possible to start camera each time you soft reset - link in windows\startup so that the device is always in landscape. Not the best solution but.....
here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53505
10x for reply - but the this does not solve the auto rotate when open/close the keybpard on my KJAM
and aslo in others wizard

If you install O2 plus, it is in the posts. It has some usefull things like profiles etc. Also you can change the screen orientation with this.
But as soon as you open and close the keyboard it switches to normal again.
As far as I know the screen auto rotate ability (when keyboard open/close) case the device screen to have slow response. I like to disable this option to get better performance.
Hi all, I have exactly the same question.
I would like to leave landscape my whizard, even if I open and close the keyboard.
Is there any possibility to do this?
Hey guys, im new to the jasjar scene and realized this is THE BEST PHONE! I wanted to know if it is possible to keep the phone in landscape mode even after when you rotate the screen... i do not like the portrait mode when it rotates. I want to set it up as to when everytime i rotate my screen, the screen stays in landscape mode without switching.. any suggestions??? what software to use? what registry hacks?.. Thanks!, and like always.... you guys ROCK!!!!!!!!
Hello,
I have a DESIRE HD with the latest official rom, but I have trouble with my auto-rotate.
Only with the application NaviPanel HTC, impossible to get rotation on the navigation map.
You have the same problem? And I already tried the factory reset. For example the DESIRE Z, the rotation works with this App.
If you know how to turn on the rotation on this application or modify the registry or other, tell me.
Thank you.
Up ! Help me please...
Its the same for me, the original Navipanel app doesn't work in landscape mode.
But if you look at it when it loads, holding the Dhd in on its side, it looks like it starts in landscape mode and is then somehow forced back into portrait mode.
I'm use Car Dock Home v3 now, works in landscape mode if you use the correct setting, no autorotation though.
Ok, now wait update from HTC for this ?
