Does anyone else use their wizard in landscape mode? It's easier to get to the keyboard when I need it and there is no delay in switching to landscape.
It works when you change the option for landscape, but then when you slide the keyboard, then slide it closed, it goes back to portrait.
I had a couple of questions...
Firstly, when i slide the keyboard out on my phone to type, the screen obviously changes to landscape mode. I only use my phone in my car for WMP and TTN etc, and so I keep it in landscape mode. So is there any way to stop it returning to portrait mode when i slide the keyboard back?
My second question was is there anyway I can disable the keyboard from popping up when I select a text box? Preferably a reversable way incase i change my mind
Thanks
Hi,
I would like to assign the long press on "Call button" to the Rotate screen option but I would like the landscape to be reverse (to the right) as I am right-handed and I would like the earphones plug to be the opposite way.
1) I created a shortcut with SKtools for a rotation of 270°.
--> the problem is that I needed another shortcut to put it back to portrait mode.
2) I then tried to use the SPB PocketPlus button mapping to "Rotate screen" which works really good as the same shortcut can toggle between portrait and landscape but only rotate screen to default landscape.
I look for a registry edit (maybe in HKLM/system/GDI/Rotation...) or other trick to change the default landscape to reverse landscape so that I can keep the Pocket+ button mapping
I know that AEBPlus is able to do that but I would like to save some RAM and also some money (AEBPlus is shareware)
Thank you for your help.
Try to use "Gyrator 2"... Work perfect on Touch HD. I supose that is fix your problem with screen orientation.

EDIT : rotate manually
Thank you for your advice.
I tried Gyrator2 (which is a really good software). I also tried MagicMobile and ChangeScreen applications but none of them enable me to rotate manually by pressing/holding a button (the call button for example).
My problem with the automatic rotation apps is when I want to answer a phone call (with the phone in my pocket) with the slide to answer of TF3D, the screen rotation mess up with my action...
It makes it difficult for me to answer as the slide area changes place...
The only reason I want to rotate my screen is in the "Programs Explorer" before launching iGO for it to be in landscape mode...
I liked that Tomtom could handle the rotation once the program is on.
It seems that with iGO, we have to rotate before launching the software or it will stay in portrait mode.
AEB+ will do this in its "free" non-registered mode.
I have it on the OK/back button with rotate 90 and then toggle back. It has a full range of rotate angles.
Try it - it is shareware but works almost 100% in "free" mode.
You are right. AEB+ solves my problem (and is a great aplication even the "free" part)
Thank you Cheesy Dave !
Is there a way to say force landscape mode? I find that while watching coreplayer, due to the sensitivity of the screen I usually tap it back into portrait mode by accident.
Has anyone found a way to enable the on screen keyboard when holding the phone in portrait mode. It would be cool to use T-9 occasionally when typing one handed.
