I have a HTC wizard, with the latest ROM upgrade, but I have a problem. I dont know if this is related to the latest iMate ROM, but when I put my screen in landscape mode it rotates the screen correctly.
Only when I open and close the phone again, the screen is rotated back again. I want to keep the screen on landscape mode.
Is there a way to keep it on landscape and avoid this 'bug'?
it's not a bug, it's a feature
And no - nobody has any ready solution. Would probably require hacking the keyboard driver to stop the call to change the screen orientation. Either that, or have a TSR running which continually monitors the screen orientation and switches to Landscape if Portrait is detected. That would be a lot easier, but such battery more
Weird, because when you select that option "Settings->System->Screen->orientation" you would think it would be a permanent thing .
it would be if it weren't for the fancy slide-out keyboard and the fancy people behind it who thought it would be a good idea to automatically change the orientation to Landscape when slid out (which probably IS a good idea) and back to Portrait when slid back in ( which is a good idea if the device was in Portrait when it was first slid out, but not a very good idea if it was in Landscape to begin with %) )
its just lazy design.
That is really too bad. I found a hint which file to pach : keybddr.dll, but I dont think I can do that

Hello,
when using my universal's casing in pda mode, but the display content in notebook mode, then after switch off/on the display has been automatically reoriented to pda mode by the system itself.
Does anybody know how to disable this "feature"?
Best regards,
tomestos
I agree, I'd like to be able to disable it as well. I can see how it's very handy and at first I was like "Ooh that's neat!" but now I'd just rather it STAYED in landscape all the time unless I said otherwise. Weird? Perhaps, but that's my choice
YEah you would think there might be a registry hack for this to disable the reorientation.
Lets keep the thread going and see what we can get, as I have to admit it would be handy to deciede if it should rotate or jus thaving it stay in LS mode.
me too - I have mine mounted horizontally in the car - it'sa bit of a pain having to hit the rotate from time to time - would like to be able to set the mode
Guys,
First off - Way to go Mods - its great to have a TyTN only forum at last!
Ok my problem is -
When i 'awake' my TyTN, the screen is sometimes in landscape mode, even though the device has teh keyboard shut and is being used in the portrait mode.
Is this a part of teh infamous alignment bug? And does anyone know of a fix?

As far as I know, this seems to happen when the device is being used with the case. It seems that the magnet in the belt clip makes the phone go to landscape.

aaah....now that would make sense. it seems to have started when I used the case.
I like using a case. Are there any recommendations for adecent replacement?
Thanks for helping out fella!
Been using the case since got the phone.
Sometimes it does indeed be in landscape mode when I take
it out, but it always reset to portrait mode as soon as I get it out.
Happens to me too.

Hey guys... I'm having a lot of troubles with the lcd screen on my 8525 and this start about a month ago.. I've had this phone for almost one year... bought it as a refurb.
1. when i'm using the phone portrait mode the screen alignment would be perfect... however when i slide the keyboard open the screen goes to landscape and my alignment would be completely off. Heres the interesting part... say if it is still in landscape and i align it then.. it would work perfectly in landscape but then when i close the keyboard and go back to portrait the alignment would be extremely off again.
2. now when i'm in portrait mode and i go to start -> settings -> system -> screen and switch the screen to landscape (w.o sliding the keyboard open) the screen would be perfectly aligned... but when i slide the keyboard open... the alignment would be completely off again... now if i align it while it is in landscape (keyboard open) and go to start..settings..system..screen and change it to portrait the alignment would be perfect... but when i close the keyboard.... it would be off again...
is there anyway i can fix this? I've done a hard reset and flashed the firmware all over again... btw i'm using WM6 from the htc website. if anyone can help...lemme know what i have to do....
thankz
p.s my phones starts with s/n ht649.
Can't say I've seen that reported before. Sounds software based. You could try backing up and hard resetting.
Mike
I already tried that.. it didn't work.
Sorry, my bad - you clearly said you had done that already.
I can't fathom what hardware problem there could be. The magnet orientation switch is clearly fine it seems the X Y co-ords are not swapping over - but that seems a software matter, yet your hard reset suggests hardware - Im stumped.
Mike
If the whole screen is moving, including the start menu etc,
I have seen this before, when building my phone, if the lcd ribbon cable is not alligned perfectly this can occur... but resetting the device did not resolve the issue in this instance.
Cheers
Steve
So I guess I'll have to take it to a cellphone repair shop and have it looked at. I just hope it won't cost too much... the phone was a refurb and i got it for $100. Do you guys have any other suggestions?
Has anyone ever experienced this problem before? The backlight isn't turning on when the phone is in portrait mode (even when the phone is booting), but will turn on when the keyboard is slightly pulled out (before technically flipping the screen) and works fine in landscape mode. I'm not sure if something is loose inside, but might have to open it up and see if no one has any ideas.
Lifted up my locked phone when i got a text notification and the sceen went into landscape mode (I lifted it in that orientation). Half the screen was corrupted. i turned the phone into portrait orientation and the screen adjusted (no corruption) then I went back to landscape and the screen changed again, this time with not ocorruption. I unlocked it in landscape and the Today screen appeard in portrait. Sent myself a text to see if this was repetable and it's not. May have been a gliche in BSB Tweaks or something but it was an "interesting" moment.
Does anyone know of a too, (that actually works) that auto-switched the Today screen? I still miss not having a rotatable home screen.
Sorry my post may go against the rules of this forum by not talking about Windows Phone 7 Series or porting Android to HD2
