Hi everyone, for some reason that i can't understand, my wizard won't stay in landscape mode after i have selected the option in the Screen Setting; or at least it does, but when i close the keyboard it resumes the portrait mode, and the setting is changed back to portrait as well!
I really can't figure this one out, and i'd love if anyone could help me
Thanks to everyone willing to help
Ive been looking for this since i got a wizard

I have a HTC wizard, with the latest ROM upgrade, but I have a problem. I dont know if this is related to the latest iMate ROM, but when I put my screen in landscape mode it rotates the screen correctly.
Only when I open and close the phone again, the screen is rotated back again. I want to keep the screen on landscape mode.
Is there a way to keep it on landscape and avoid this 'bug'?
it's not a bug, it's a feature
And no - nobody has any ready solution. Would probably require hacking the keyboard driver to stop the call to change the screen orientation. Either that, or have a TSR running which continually monitors the screen orientation and switches to Landscape if Portrait is detected. That would be a lot easier, but such battery more
Weird, because when you select that option "Settings->System->Screen->orientation" you would think it would be a permanent thing .
it would be if it weren't for the fancy slide-out keyboard and the fancy people behind it who thought it would be a good idea to automatically change the orientation to Landscape when slid out (which probably IS a good idea) and back to Portrait when slid back in ( which is a good idea if the device was in Portrait when it was first slid out, but not a very good idea if it was in Landscape to begin with %) )
its just lazy design.
That is really too bad. I found a hint which file to pach : keybddr.dll, but I dont think I can do that
Hi all,
My phone has been acting weird recently. Whenever i access the phone app, the screen goes into landscape mode without me tilting the phone. It doesn't seem like it is able to escape the landscape mode. This is also true for the sms app. Does anyone else have the same problem, and does anyone know how to fix this. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Have you tried recalibrating the G-Sensor?
If that doesn't work you can try violently shaking the phone or give a slight knock on the sides.
Worked for my wife's iPhone. Never had the problem again after that.
I just got a hold of a mytouch 3g with a defective accelerometer (due to water damage) and wont adjust orientation according to the way im holding the phone. its stuck in portrait view all the time and was wondering if there's a means to:
A. Toggle between landscape and portrait mode (with an app)
B. Emulate the accelerometer to report the necessary values to keep the phone in landscape mode, so i can simply toggle rotate to switch between the modes
C. Re-calibrate the accelerometer in such a manner to keep the phone in landscape mode and toggle rotate setting when needed.
Iv done some searching in regards to the matter. I have not come across any (usefull) apps that will manually rotate modes, nor have i found any workarounds. I have CM 6.1 rc1 installed on the phone. Id be grateful for any help. Thanks.
EDIT:
the phone is out of warranty, and iv trouble shot the accelerometer fully (cleared settings via recovery bla bla)
Hi
i have the same problem - have you found anything to solve it.
Thanks
HI Guys,
Basically my Nexus 7 keeps switching to portrait mode while it is in the dock (even in day dream).
If I turn it to landscape then put it in it still switches to portrait...
If any else has expereice this or has a solution I'd be very appreciative
Kind regards

Hi
I've just enabled the Daydream function but even though it works in both portrait & lanscape when previewing the various options, when I've actually chosen one and plugged it into my charger, it will only function in portrait mode. Is this a bug on my phone or what?
Thx
**Bump** .....No-one else got this problem then??
After more searching on this, I see I'm not the only one with this problem, and it is in fact, a bit of a bug(ger)....
On my Nexus 7 it rotates in landscape mode too...but not on my S4
I have to start Daydream first and put it into landscape mode before plugging in my power connector...it then works OK.
It's been moaned about on various forums etc since last year....but it still hasn't been rectified!
