Is this just me??
When viewing Album after recording a video as you hold the phone normally the screen rotates left then when you preview the movie in WMP and go to full screen it rotates right.
(hope that sounds right)
is there a way to tweak it sop the both rotate say left or both right, just that they both go the same way really.
Thanks

Is there a way to lock the touch screen? Perhaps with PQz or another third party software, could I map a button (like the screen back light button) to toggle lock/unlock the screen?
Otherwise, I can't find a way to use the media player in portrait mode (screen facing outwards) unless I put Universal in a case.
I tried searching the Universal forum for screen lock, but could not find the solution. Thx.
In the meantime, I have mapped the backlight button to toggle the screen when using TCPMP.
In Media Player, it seems my only options are to map one of the d-pad controls to toggle the screen.
I think VJEschaton will toggle the screen for you. Don't know if that's what you want. I'm working on some updates to that app...

Thanks! I'll check it out.
Would DeltaLock be any good?? (get it from here: http://www.freewareppc.com/). It might lock the buttons too though.
Will WMP or TCPMP not play with the screen closed then?? (not tried this yet).
Never heard of DeltaLock, but thanks for the tip.
Frankly I have not tried with the screen closed, because I want to play the media with the screen facing up. (I don't want to have to keep opening and closing the device any time I want to change music, etc.) In any case, I found that both TCPMP and WMP can map buttons to toggle the screen on/off which essentially accomplishes my main goal --no accidental touches. But only TCPMP let me map commands to the screen backlight button. WMP, as far as I know, only lets me map commands to the D-pad.
I'll still have a look at VJEschaton and DeltaLock though to see if they offer any advantages for my needs.
Does anyone know of a today plug-in or some way of making a shortcut to easily access the widescreen feature on the Prophet, as this would be a major convience when surfing webpages?
Do you mean landscape mode (when the screen is horizontal)?
I map screen rotation to the OK hardware button (lower right corner) from settings->buttons.
This way I don't have to leave IE to change orientation and no need for extra software. There is an action button in the middle so who needs extra 'OK' any way?
Hi
I posted a CAB File from the Orange Extended ROM that places an icon on the Today Screen for screen rotation. Just tap it and it rotates the screen from portrait to landscape.
It was supplied by Orange but it has worked for others, try it and see.

If I want to change the orientation the screen I tap on the orientation button and the screen became landscape but when I extract the keyboard the screen return portrait... so I want that when I replaice the keyboard the screen come back to landscape... is it possible???
ok... no solution...
Why not press the orientation button while the keypad is still out?
because I don't want to tap the orientation everytime...
set a hw button to rotate the screen, works fine with pcmkeyboard

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The device was designed to work on portrait.. so it will insist on going portrait.
You may ask vjay555 on this forum to write you a simple program that will force your device to stay on landscape. A very good developer.. he makes simple tools like that. He's a mod here.
File name for Execute Rotate Screen ???
Ussually I use from HTC Home, but I will assign at Left Softkey with program that can rotate the screen. I don't know the file name??? Is It in Windows Directory???
Thanks for sharing
How do i do this? i cant assign a button for it, i tried searching but those threads were recommending something called pocket shield, but isnt there a way to use the windows media player toggle screen function?
thanks
Use CorePlayer or Pocket Music...they both have features to switch off the screen.
Using Windows Media player you simply power off with the switch on top and the player continues.
take a look here for Windows Media and Core: http://www.ppcmobility.com/forums/showthread.php?t=603
Possible that there's a setting I wasn't aware of in WMP but - I found that when I used WMP for music and hit the sleep button at the top, the music stopped playing - although when I use the music player tab in the TouchFlo3D, it carries on uninterrupted when hitting the sleep button
i dont like the HTC media player, its much easier to search using windows media player.
i used to assign a key to toggle screen when i had my touch dual, but on the HD i cant assign any keys.
any help? if possible i dont want to download a third party media player.
at the moment im just letting the screen turn itself off, but doing so risks my pocket touching the screen and doing stuff
My 2 cents
well I use TF3D for my music needs (it's enough for me) and my solution to turning the screen off (without headphones in, since with them it's not an issue) is with Gyrator which I have set to turn the screen off when I turn the HD upside down.
Just switch off the screen with your power button. It works regardless of whether you're using Coreplayer or native TF3D music player or FM radio. But the wired headset must be plug in for it to work.
An additional tip:
Since the screen is blanked out, how do you change volume and switch channel/song?
My way of doing this is to install AEBplus, and make single press of volume buttons Up and Down arrow key, and double press (you can use long press too, if you so prefer) as volume up and down. In this way, you need not get out of blank screen in order to skip or repeat songs, or to change channel.
Is there anyway of doing this via the htc player from the today screen?
I like the convenience of playing music from this screen. Just need the display to switch off.
Prefer not to install another player then have to search for it to play a bit of music.
I hate auto rotate on my Evo4g. Is there any app out there or way to make a gesture rotate the screen? I know there are tons of apps that will put a auto rotate toggle widget on the screen, but I have to hit that before I go into a program I would like to rotate, and the back off again when i am done with that program. Does anyone know of anything that will allow me to manually rotate the screen while in an application? I like how I could just hold down a button for a few seconds on my old windows phone and it would rotate the screen. It seems simple enough, but I can't find anything. It would be nice to hold the menu button on the evo down for a few seconds and have that rotate the screen....
