Hello,
A customer of me has a weird problem, when he has a phone call, his screen turns to landscape mode.
Anybody has a solution ?
Thanks

it happens *only* when you get device out of the pouch, which is included in the box. it's caused by little magnets hidden in the pouch, which are holding pouch's cover. try to switch wizard on, put into pouch and then get it out. you'll see landscape mode screen switch without incoming call as well. quite annoying issue btw...
The only solution I've found so far, is to map a key to switch from landscape to portrait, and switch back straight away when it happens.
I've been scouring the forums for a few days in case there was a cab file to disable the mode switching so I could do it manually.
No joy though.
It should switch back on its own a few seconds after you take it out of the pouch.
Try inserting your phone into the pouch (screen facing your body) :wink:
It does return after a few seconds, but often the call has gone by the time it does, and the softkeys/answer keys muck around while its switching. with the landscape/portrait key set, hopefully the switch will be faster. (thats what I keep telling myself)
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.
1) ...screen rotate on web browser. Sometimes when I turn my phone sideways it rotates then jumps back to home screen. It's getting annoying. It doesn't do it all the time, but enough to certainly be an issue.
2) ...XT9 not working. Sometimes, even when the option is selected for it it will not work. Why is this??
OK I've had this happen to me for at least three days now and it's finally to the point where I'm posting to see if anyone else has experienced it. I use the Vega in landscape virtually all the time and because of that I lock it in that orientation. However, once or twice an hour the screen will briefly flip to portrait (power button would be on the left in that orientation) then back to landscape. It's very brief and as I said it flips back just as quickly but it's very annoying. It has happened while watching videos too which is more annoying as it takes longer than a browser to change orientation while playing.
I've tried recalibrating it, rebooting the tablet and everything short of reflashing the ROM. I'm really hoping to avoid reflashing to test it as I've finally got the screen calibrated to an almost perfect level thanks to the other calibration app on the MoDaCo forums. Has anyone else had this behaviour before? If so, have you found a fix?
I do not have your exact problem but something similar. Just now I picked mine up and screen was upside down (when the device was right side up i.e. buttons at top and right). I checked the rotation button and it was not locked. When I rotate the device it will not switch rotation at all - when I go into settings and turn off auto-rotation it flips right-side up. It seems like the accelerometer is knackered but it would seem to be working in order to flip it when auto-rotation is switched off. The daft thing is that in various screens it flips to being right side up. It boots up the right way round and the lock screen is the right way round but as soon as unlocked it flips upside down. I too have tried rebooting and all sorts - thinking of flashing it as a last resort.
I seem to have fixed this now. I use quickboot and on a whim rather using my reboot shortcut I used power off. I then used the power button to start up with the rotation lock switched on - when I turned it off once booted it was back to normal. I suspect the rotation switch bit was a red herring - I reckon the shutdown/restart fixed it.
settngs>g sensor>games mode can cause some accelerometer antics try turning on and off
What does the gsensor mode do when activated, as I haven't seen any difference?
Has anybody experienced issues with turning the screen on and having whatever app you had opened last be in landscape mode?
Like I turned the screen off with the phone in portrait,, then laid the phone down flat on its back, not on any angle,, then turn the phone on and have the screen be in landscape mode.
This has so far happened a lot on texting and messaging apps.
If I have Messenger (stock SMS) open in Portrait and shut the screen off, then rotate to Landscape and turn the screen back on, it is in portrait, but immediately switches to landscape. It is not already in landscape mode.
I generally use Tasker to lock everything into portrait and use the Quick Settings toggle to turn autorotate on if needed for an app. Games that only work in landscape will override to landscape automatically when they launch.
Yesterday, i had the messenger app stuck in landscape mode. I couldn't make it go into portrait mode no matter what i did. I'm not sure how i got it to that state, but a reboot fixed it
