I have tried searching for this but not been able to find anything, so sorry if it is already covered elsewhere.
Does anyone know how to disable the auto rotation of the screen that happens when you go from laptop to tablet mode?
Thanks in advance
Sam
It has been asked before, and I know how to do it, but I have to get a little time to write the app. It's quite an easy app to write, just time is unavailable to me I need a time turner.

I would have thought with your 1337 5k1llz you would have at the very least had your own TARDIS lol
Nice to see Pratchett references popping up all over the place =)
I thought I saw something here about an app that was already created, except that it made the Universal totally ignore any lid motion, so closing the lid would not put it to sleep. I can't remember what thread I saw it in... I thought it was Vijay who did it, too. Hmm.
do you really have to go through all the trouble to write a program for it or is there a simple reg hack to take care of this?
There's a little of both. It's a driver hack, but combined with some registry.
I wrote the other program also, can't remember what it was called now, for maintaining control and enabling the Universal's external keys, but it had a limited release of 1 guy trying it.
Then I got distracted for 6 months, having a baby

Any update on this? I would like the auto rotate to still rotate but into landscape mode the other way up, as opposed to portrait mode, if you see what I mean
Disable auto-rotate
Hi Vijay555,
Any luck finding the program?
Would really appreciate it mate.
just in install vijaylumix 2. click on enable extra brightness than switch power off. After that autobrightness will be disabled and screen orientation will not go automatically works just fine hehe

The camera does not work once vijaylumix 2 is started :-(
So back to the drawing board.
Actually isn't there a program that sets selected programs to start in either landscape or potrait view?
Try re-launching VJLumos I/II/III to disable.
vijaylumix? Dude, what kinda weird sounding pseudo-romantic idiom is that?
VJUzumaki has been re-written. The nega/positive side effect of VJLumos is unexpected but useful. But VJUzumaki will disable rotation and provide a whole shebang loud of new features.. coming soon.

Sorry mate should be 'VJLumos II' and not 'vijaylumix 2.'
Looking forward to VJUzumakimix....only kidding VJ. When is VJUzumaki due?
Respect & seasonal greets.
umm, if I recal you can remove the magnet from inside the casing, that makes the screen auto rotate
I'm working on bells and whistles (ie features!) for VJUzumaki, so hopefully shortly into the new year.
V
what is the status of VJUzumaki, or has there been an alternate fix found for this problem?
Thanks

Hi
I've been looking hard with no success.
How to remove the status line from the Today screen in Qtek 9100/WM5.0. It shows WiFi and Battery status - which I don't need here - while taking the precious space...
Any idea?
Help please!
Sorry to post again here but I can't believe that there is nobody suffering from this and that there is nobody who has solved the issue until now.
There are so many Today screen plug-ins that show the information, not to mention the information is useless here - I believe.
Please let me know if it's me being a mega-geek finding ways to make something better or the answer is so simple that nobody bothers to post.
:?
if it is that important to you - here's your solution: remove Init_Tray.lnk from "\windows\start up", restart and you are done.
did i help you? then recommend me
cheers, lutz
Thats not what makes the tray. That program adds the Wifi and battery bar. You have to take out any program that uses the tray. If a program uses the tray , then the tray is automatically created.
isn't that exactly what the guy has there? why do you jump in here? if you have any other problem than kristo_ch feel free to ask....
cheers, lutz
Shame on me. So simple. Thanks lutzh.
simple if you know it. i always erase anything in start up in the first trials. trouble here was that i haven't got it back when i wanted it back

Perhaps the self proclaimed "guru" is jealous he didn't know the answer (although it's not a complete solution, as some apps like PI will bring it back, but it's a start - thanks lutz!).
i totally agree with you!!!!!!
cheers, lutz
I don't get what's going on. Why aren't people playing nice?
The Tray can be made to not be present, by removing all tray-able apps.
However, the tray can be programmatically brute force hidden if required, even if full of apps.

topcaser: No not yet... I'm working on it between lots of other things, but it needs to be compatible with WM5 and WM2003 and they both require very different techniques. WM5 version is done though, but not released:

255%
Hey VJ,
I too want a battery which I can charge beyond 100%!!! ;-)
I would have to adjust the e_stat app to show it though....
yeah, 255% battery is cool. You can see into the future. it's cold though, -5 degrees C
V
How do you get 100%. If I read the batstat I get a percentage.
And where did you get the temperature from?
Bye,
Thijs.
Doezel: temperature is built into the battery, from the battery api.
I don't understand the "100%" battery.
The 255% is coming just from the emulator having fits!
V
VJ:
I get it. I use evc4, and use getbatterylifepercent, which returns a value between 0 and 100. It's not a byte.
Which IDE do you use?
EDIT: UNDER DEVELOPEMENT AND WILL BE RELEASED WHEN READY! KEEP AN EYE ON THIS THREAD!!!!
Here's an idea... when you turn your phone off, it locks... when you turn it on, you must roll your thumb/finger to the right around the wheel of the diamond to unlock it...
as you wheel around, the white line around the circle begins to fill from the top, moving rightward around...
sorry for the poor image quality, i just threw it together as a thought.
I hope a developer can throw this together, prolly isn't hard at all and would really be cool for the diamond. Better graphics and glowing line ofcourse.
its simple and utilizes the unique hardware of the diamond, and also the pro.

anyone like?
anyone down to try and create it?
Wish i could, but i have no idea where to start. i'm in the dark here.
to clear up any confusion that may come up, the lights on the wheel itself don't need to light up as you wheel around... only the circle on the screen.
as you would pass a point on the wheel, another section of the ring on the screen would fill in.
Sounds like a good idea. Hope someone have the time to make it.
im sure that 'wheel-2-unlock' is one of the features of the TouchXperience ROM but it would take a long time for this rom to be released i guess.
TouchXperience is a ROM? Not just a cab installation?

sounds good, i hope someone can do it
Ok guys, i got a good man to try and put this together... he's farther along than he thought and will be releasing something when he feels its ready to meet the world!
Sounds like a good idea - I posted something very like it in the AnswerKeys Disabler thread a few weeks ago!
Glad someone has the skills to make it happen!

CapacitiveFingerLock
I am working on such an idea already for a week or so:
CapacitiveFingerLock.
It will have another locking/unlocking mechanism on top of StylusLock, as described in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2681112&postcount=62
Because I am now on a business trip in America, I had not much time to work on the program. But I haven proven already that it works. I have to remove some stuff from the proven program, and integrate it with my already existing StylusLock. The goal is that it does NOT cost extra battery power and CPU and is really simple to use.
The reason to add this, is to have it possible to lock and unlock "one handed". The StylusLock approach cannot be done "one handed", e.g. on a bike. Also some people do not like to operate with the StylusLock. The combination with this new CapacitiveFingerLock and existing StylusLock will suit more people. And sometimes people will use the Stylus, so they will get the right behaviour depended on the usage.
Good idea, as I do not use any locks or such applications, but this one sounds nice. Just remember that this app should not conflict with, or somehow overcover and incomming call

this is the funniest and one of the best apps out , man it sounds and acts only thing when i pressed exit i got a error ? man thanx for the wicked work man this is great good job
lol that is funny, my colleagues will hate me on monday
thanks
you need to make the gsensor more sensitive
Fun app.
On Touch pro the graphics flicker, though.
It would be fun if you made another version for shaving, you'd just need to change the graphics and angles of activation.
Can I request that you have an option to turn off the vibration in the next release?
I feel like soo much vibration will damage my phone...
Really nice app!!! and so funny too !!! Its like the one on the iphone!! =)

Funny thing! When testing- i found the vibration actually had an effect on the GSensor - its not that i "desensitised" it, (i think I settled on a poll time of 100ms and rotation of approx +/-60 degrees from face down). I may take another look!
Thanks everyone for the kind comments.

Hello
Is it possible somehow to turn the screen upside down? I get better reception on my HD2 when I hold it upside down. I sometimes use AE Button plus to rotate the screen but it cannot rotate the Manila screens. Is there another application that can rotate EVERYTHING 180 degrees?
Maybe you could try to avoid keeping your hand on the antenna which is at thew lower part of the phone? (page 10 of user manual)

That's extremely hard to do in normal use though. IMO it's a ridiculous place to put the antenna. When touching the antenna you reduce the effectiveness, so the power goes up....and thus the SAR level....
Even if you could turn the screen upside down (with Gyrator 2, for example), the microphone and loudspeaker would still remain in their positions, so it would be pointless
Well I don't use my HD2 much for phone calls. It's mostly other applications which use Internet and holding the HD2 upside down really makes a difference. Of course you don't think about it until you're at a location with poor coverage.
Another reason is that I often put my HD2 in the iPhone dock of my portable speakers and I need to put it upside down to be able to connect the audio. I think everyone can see the need now

I see your point. Again, I would try Gyrator 2.
100% weird/fail design by HTC engineers again... The built-in antenna at the bottom of the device? The manual on page 10 "advice" us not to touch the antenna zone. Unless you're using bluetooth, how to hold the phone without touching the antenna zone? Silly design.
Is this the first phone in the world ever have antenna at the bottom of the device?

Gents,
Here is a little thing bothering me.
I use a BT headset most of the time, keeping the phone in a pocket/backpack while playing music.
The thing is that when receiving a call and answering it using the BT Headset buttons, the phone still wakes up and unlocks itself. Meaning that the device is now accessible by the touch panel but in my pocket/backpack thus messing with it.
Is there way to prevent that ?
So when answering to a call from a BT headset the device remains locked.
Thanks for any help on that.
David.
Anybody with that same problem ?
David on HD2
Hi there David,
I have had the same issue with my HTC HD2 for the past 6 months since I bought the phone and have not seen anyone come up with a resolution for this!
Even the Iphone handles this simple problem better.
I cannot understand how they can release a fantastic phone like the HTC HD2 that can just about replace a computer but can not do the simple job of not unlocking the handset when controlled with a bluetooth device.
I can only hope that there is a programmer out there that could tweek the registry to solve out problem.
Thanks Ace
Exactly. I feel the same way too. But just have to live with it I guess, just leave it and wait for the auto lock to kick in again
So I guess it is a wellknow problem with no solution or work around... at least we know.
Not pleasant to live with... having to stop on the side of the road because a call kick in while riding in the hot tropical summer.
David BT HD2 ironhorsing in Taiwan.
there is a solution, it's called s2u2. It has settings to set it to lock on call when using BT.
http://www.ac-s2.com/
you want the wvga version.
Finaly hope arise... I am trying it right away.
Thank you very much for that.
Confirmed! It works!
Thank you very much nrfitchett4 .
And it gives some more life to the standby/locked screen.
Although one might want to change the default wallpapers...
The only little inconvenience of this app is that you have to re-start it after a soft reset. But it is worth it.

You shouldn't have to restart it after reset, just lock your phone. You can set it to lock on screen off, or screen on, or manually.

The app is still working after a reset.
