If I am in the text messaging screen in landscape mode, and close the phone into portrait mode, the screen does not completely rotate.
The top portion of the screen switches, and the bottom menu bar switches, but there is a section about 1/3 the size of the screen that remains in landscape mode until I close the text message program.
It only does it in texting, no other programs cause this problem with the screen, and it has only started doing it since I hard reset the phone.
Any help??
Yeah, texting does some strange stuff for me too. Sometimes when I push the button to select the contact i want to text it takes quite awhile for it to bring up the texting screen. And yes, same as you on the switching from landscape.
hmm.... That's wierd. I cant seem to find anything else relating to this problem
i am having the same problem also.. but recently it stopped.. idk wuts going on?
well, i figured out what the problem was with mine. It was doing it because I hacked the registry for the SIP to completely kill the pop-up keyboard. After re-enabling it, no more screen issue.

I've searched the forums for this - not sure if the VGA modifications fix it - but:
In landscape mode, MSN Mesenger does not take advantage of the whole screen. Both the text display and the entry window are crammed into the top 50% or so of the screen, while the bottom half is simply a blank white field. Is there any way to force the application to use the whole screen?
Flip the screen to portrait, then flip it back.
It's a bug.

That worked - thanks.
also, enable and dissable the keyboard on the botom bar wer the softkeys are, that works for me, plus is quicker
Thank you...
Hi, this is a really stupid little problem but it's really annoying as it happens everyday:
In portrait mode, I go to my calender and click Menu -> New Appointment with the soft keys, and then it opens and the cursor is flashing in the subject field. However, as it's doing that, I like to flip it into landscape mode so I can type the subject quickly.
My problem is that 5 seconds after I flip it into landscape mode, it decides that I've finished with that field and stops letting me type. It's really annoying as I'll be a few characters into writing the subject, when the cursor disappears. I then am forced to pull out my stylus and click the subject field, or use my finger.
Any idea how I can solve this, besides opening in landscape mode before I do Menu -> New Appointment?
Thanks
I have noticed the same issue, and I think it's a bug.
You can tab and back tab to get to the field without using the stylus, that's one way to overcome it, the other of course is to remember to switch before entering any data.

Is it possible to keep the 6800 in landscape mode at ALL times unless I manually press a mapped key or click a rotate icon? There are alot of times where I'm sending tons of text messages and I'm constantly opening and closing the phone and the delay for the screen to rotate around gets REALLY annoying. I'd really like it if I could just keep it in landscape mode and switch it back manually when I'm done
Thanks in advance for any advice!
start, settings, personal, sceen allows you to rotate orientation.
You're right, it does. But that setting is overridden whenever you slide the keyboard in/out. So if I were to go set my 6800 to landscape manually, then open the keyboard and close it again, it will automatically go back to portrait mode regardless of what I've set as my personal setting.
I'm looking for a way to stop my 6800 from automatically changing the screen orientation when the keyboard is slid in or out
try this it should work for you.
Thanks for that. It will suffice for the time being until I find some way to make the change fully manual. Seems I've found some people on PPC Geeks who are looking for a solution to this as well.
Hopefully someday someone will figure it out
supposedly someone is going to post something that may help!

I've been fiddling with this device for a little bit now, and cant seem to figure this out.
I want to send text messages with the keyboard in landscape mode, but cant figure out how.
Only option i found is the rotate screen option, but as soon as i use the phone, it goes back to portrait. Any way to make the phone STAY in landscape mode, or automatically switch to landscape mode when i reply to a text message?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
strange
it's strange, in WM6.1 and WM 6.5 it is automatically enabled. Are you sure you didn't change some settings somewhere. Also found the manually pun in landscape, but goes back to portrait, but that's only in TouchFlo menu.
it happened to me too at first, then I used G-config to make it works, if that doesn't work, try edit the registry yourself. I tried the TD2 tools but that doesn't seem to work with my phone. It keeps going back to portrait and sometime left the images on the screen and eventually the whole thing just crashed.
This has happened twice today. I am using the phone and the voice typing display will not go away. I can use the phone.. .i can go to the homescreen, open apps, look at settings, etc, but i cannot close the voice prompt, and i can't use it.
It essesentially makes the phone useless until i reboot.
I am not sure why it is doing this. Not rooted nor unlocked or anything.. just stock.
The other thing it is doing is that sometimes when i wave my hand over the screen i will see the unlock screen. it will have the time and a lock icon below it ... if i touch the lock icon, it moves to a lower (on the screen) position and when i re adjust to hit the lock again it moves back up. Not sure how to screen shot this... maybe a video from a different phone.
when this happens, it will unlock by pressing the power button. I think this has something to do with the smart lock. DAMN google for forcing you to have a lock when you use Android Pay. Never had this problem on my Note 4 with Wallet.
Anyway, any help on either of these bugs would be appreciated
ok, i can reproduce the bug.
can someone else try this to confirm?
- with the phone screen off have someone send you a text message.
- swipe up directly to messages. ( use the google one, but i am not sure if it matters.)
- reply to the message with a google voice typing
- hit the power button to turn off the screen.
- Have the person text you again.
- open message by swiping up to it.
At this point the tap to speak screen will be there and not go away until you reboot.
no one else?
here is a video showing the problem I can't believe I am the only one experiencing this

I can try it when I get my phone, but that's a few weeks away...
