this only happens sometimes....i usually carry my Wizard in my trousers' pockets, and when I take it out to use it, it is sometimes in landscape mode. As i understand it, to change it to landscape mode, you would normally need to push the keyboard all the way out and make it click at the end before it switches mode. So how can it change to landscape mode in my pocket? yes, i admit sometimes the keyboard has slightly slided out, but nowhere near fully out. Unless there are some key presses which turns it to landscape mode as well? Also, I always tap the power key to put it to standby mode, which I have set so that only the power key can turn it back on, and only to the password screen, so theoretically key presses are also out of question. but it's bugging me......
The trigger to landscape is just a magnet in the case and a switch. This is often noticed when sliding it out of the holster (the holster often has a magentic catch. I'd suggest you have something magnetic in your pocket but I'll leave it at that before I get misinterpreted.....

I use doublelauncher software. Using this program you can assign to hardware button this action: move the screen to landscape mode.
i've not assigned any buttons for toggling to landscape. But i tried the magnetic thing, and JoninLA is utterly right, it can be easily simulated. I have a piece of magnet in my keyring which i carry in my rather long overcoat where it may just reach over my pda in my trousers. and i also notice it even when i'm using the holster, which does have a magnet as well. thanks guys....i know what to look out for now. great stuff.
Please help with my QTEK 9100 when it start with portrait mode keep beep beep sound (with out touching any thing ) and when I try to go setting or program keep me getting back with today screen and make beep beep .. sound and some times it works with landscape mode and when I try to back to portrait mode again start beep sound please help is it hardware problem or ( I disassabled it and didn't get any lose connection ) please help me ..
thanks so much
Maybe you could try to overclock your wizard a little bit with omapclock. works for me. maybe your problem is different than mine though, as my phone also beeps in landscape mode.

Its not the display flex cable, kbd, nor the display
My g4, o2 is doing the same thing. i think that there is some manufacture problem with these devices. Here is why i am saying so.
i thought it was the cable also, so i disassembled it and put it back together, then it kept on doing the same thing. Then i thought of just disabling the keyboard, because it is typing the o key, which is making the beep sounds and eventually turning the screen to these funny lines with a white background as if the display cable is broken. When i turned it ON without the keyboard, there is goes again. beep beep beep beep typing out the o without the keyboard, therefore i decided it had nothing to do with the keyboard system, and may not even have anything to do with display cable or even the panel.
I then totally removed to display panel as well, leaving me with just the chips board in my hands. Connected that to the batt and switched on, and after a little while when the system had booted... there it fires the beeps again in the dark, WITHOUT THE DISPLAY PANEL, ITS CABLE AND THE KEYBOARD PANEL AND ITS CABLE AT ALL. So the problem was not the fle cable nor the keyboard, but is coming from the system board.
Could this be a software internal problem or a hardware chip problem of some sort?
does anyone have an idea?
I guess probably a lot of people here have the auto rotate app installed. it make the screen go landscape at anytime when you rotate the phone, even with lock screen.
I noticed that if i turn off the phone(or go to sleeping mode), then rotate the phone, then click any buttom, the screen comes on in landscape mode!! !!!
This means even when it is in sleep mode the app is still working!! So if you put it in your pocket walking or something, it may have rotated itself hundreds of times!!!!!
What i want say is, if there's any program running when you turn it off, they may be still running in sleeping model???
No, it does not mean that. It only means, that when the key is pressed, before the screen is turned on, the orientation is detected and screen refreshed.
There are several levels of sleep mode. Generally in sleep mode everything which can be turned off is turned off. If no application is working at the moment (all applications wait for input), even the CPU should be on standby.
GSM module is usually on.
But if some application is running, and you enter sleep mode, it is not really sleep mode, only screen is off. WM do not suspend running applications.
They can however close data connection and AFAIK HD2 is configured that way. But it can be changed in the registry, and on my X1 it is not like that (only WIFI is turned off). So for example if I run skype, and then 'sleep' the device, it runs, and it communicates, and it can eat battery in few hours.
Which applications runs and when, if the G-sensor is on, or if the lock screen is drawn and refreshed, it is really hard to tell. I guess some software for this might exist, but I don't know about it.

Following your logic, It should come back in portrait mode if the device was sleeping and you hold it up vertically. So the fact that it wakes up in landscape mode means that the device was not in completely in standby when you did rotate it.
first the sleeping mode or 'turn off' mode i mean is pressing the 'hang up' buttom. The software is called Gryator 2
What I found was, when the phone is on, if I rotate the phone there is approx 1 sec delay. But if I rotate the screen in sleeping mode and then press any buttom few seconds later, the screen comes on instantly as normal and is in landscape. If it is as per you said, there woud be a 1 sec delay, woundn't it?
And also if listeniing to music, press the the 'hang up' bottom, the music stays. I had a XDAIIi, very old.. if press the on/off buttom, music won't stay. i had to just turn of the screen.
This make me wonder, what stays on, what gos off in the sleeping mode.
As HD2 does not have the true 'on/off' buttom like the XDA IIi where all the PDA application is literally turned off.....

yes, correct!! Vise versa, I tried both....
So it does start in landscape every time ? I guess I still don't get it ..
hi,
i use changescreen to rotate, and have the same isue. eg.
1. have the device in portrait and switch it of
2. then (screen is off) turn it to landscape for a while
3. after that turn it back to portrait and immediately turn on the screen
i see the screen in landscape and then after some delay turning to portrait. you can proof this by telling the program to delay the rotation for some sec., wich is my default setting. i used gsen, changescreen and gyrator (gsen only on my old advatage) and they all behave the same.
mad.

Basicly if you rotate the phone, there is a small delay for the screen to rotate. when you rotate the phone in sleep mode and wait 2 seconds then turn on the screen, it comes on instantly and is rotated already. This means the 'screen rotation' has been already done when it is on sleeping mode. Otherwise the screen should be on as what it was before and then rotate with the small delay.
So if the rotation program is working in sleeping mode, other programs could be working as well? !!!
It isn't really sleep mode. There is (as mentioned above) no suspended mode for WM.
Most running apps won't actually be doing anything though, because you're not making them do anything. Obviously, the usual form of user interaction is via the screen. In sleep mode, this isn't happening, so most apps will just sit there waiting. Anything that runs periodically, or reacts to other events (such as orientation changes) will still do what it does when the phone is not in sleep mode.
Basically, the screen is turned off. That's it.
Hello,
I have this problem from beggining of using HD2.
I definitely prefer to drive with HD2 in portrait mode. But if I plug car charger dialer goes in landscape mode. I use PLToggle to bring it back to portrait but it is not comfortable. For example if I have 10 calls during driving I need to rotate dialer manually 10 times... frustrating...
I searched all possible keys in registry but I can't find anything.
Is there a possibility to disable this landscape mode if car charger is plugged in??
I used few ROMs and of course in each of them dialer is always landscape...
I don't want use gsensor for auto rotate cause it is not comfortable in car...
What car charger do you have?
Original HTC. From HTC Kiaser but with switch to microUSB.
I have the same problem when using the HTC car holder. I want to remain in portrait mode, but the dialer always goes to landscape. I have tried to disable with BSB Tweaks, but no joy.
all suggestions welcome.
Nivo
Everytime when I plug in the charging usb cable to phone, the phone will change to Landscape mode when there is incoming call!
Is there anyway to disable this function?
Hi, I can't replicate your problem, sorry. Do you have additional screen rotation software installed which you could disable? maybe its a glitch that would be fixed with a soft reset? (red button inside back cover or remove abattery for 10 seconds).

I haven't installed any other rotation software, my ROM is HKCSL stock rom and I believe that this is the default settings.
did you try plug in the usb charging cable then press the phone button? I believe it will change to landscape mode.
