I am not sure, but Schab's configuration tools (package) contains tool to rotate screen seqentialy in all 4 directions. i have it on my X7500.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070
Edit: Yest there is such a tool in the package.

There's an icon in HTC HomePlug on the X7501 to do this... Is this lacking in the WM5 ROM on the X7500?

not to fear boinger66 I is here.... so i could not fine the program but i did find this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION]
Change the Value of "Angle" to the
dword:00000000 or dword:00000360 -> Portrait Mode
dword:00000090 -> Landscape(Right-Handed)
dword:00000180 -> Portrait Up-side Down
dword:00000270 -> Landscape (Left-Handed)

didnt work for me... i set it to 270 and it still rotates the same way

Hi Boringer66,
Another program that does this is pBar. This neat little utility is also a task manager, comm manager, launcher, and battery meter. It's free too. Google xda pBar,and you are it right away.
Regards.
Edit: sorry,this may not suit you. It rotate three ways only. Not four.

hmm darn ok thanks ...
im using schabs right now
i kinda just wanted a quick reg hack like the rotate on the tray app would be awesome

Strange taskbar clock !?

hi everyone, just noticed today that the clock displayed in my taskbar (top right of the screen) has changed from digital to analog (see attached capture) !
has anyone encountered this before ? for info, i use htc home customizer with the option to "display clock in taskbar" unchecked.
thanks for your help !

Click and hold. Simple.

umm ... it has been unchecked the whole time. have no idea where it came from. any other ideas?

strange ....
when you do as advised above it should be gone ...
i had the same thing when - show permanent clock in all programs - switched on and phoning with display also switched on that my ear always changed digital clock to analog clock.
you can avoid switching from analog to digital clock if you use a headset ;-)

I've tried it 100 times. It will remove the clock from the top bar on programs, but not from my home screen (Start menu top bar). I used to not be there but it appeared suddenly and I haven't been able to get rid of it since.
I wonder if it's a reg setting?

The EXACT same thing happened to me. I was running Tomtom on my way home and the damn clock showed up on my Taskbar. I can't remove it from my home screen.
Jesus, window's mobile has enough redundant shortcuts/icons.

Disable New SMS Auto Wake Up and Turn On Screen?

Hi,
I've owned the Xperia for a week and it's a great WinMo device. However unlike Touch Pro or Diamond, there's no registry tweak available to turn off the auto wake up on new sms feature.
I found it really annoying. Everytime a new SMS arrived when the phone was in my pocket the screen automatically turned on, and as I was walking my jeans' pocket continuously "touched" on the phone screen and accidentally opened bunches of programs and scroll up and down until it hanged.
It will be perfect to just make sound + vibrate, but keep the screen off, as I could do on Touch Pro.
Anyone knows of such a solution please do help!

I need to bump on that...

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
aint advanced config 3.3 working for that?

I was having this problem too... the only thing I changed to attempt to fix this was instead of pressing the power button to sleep the phone before I put it into my pocket, I press and hold the end key so that it locks the phone and dims the screen. The screen eventually turns off and it requires you to unlock the phone when you power it back on. When you receive an SMS or Email, the screen still lights up, but you have to press unlock, then tap unlock to start using it.

Yes, I have the same problem too and hope we can have the option to turn it off so that the screen will not lighted up when there is new sms or call.
Can someone work on this?

The registry key used for the tweak that works on Touch Pro does not exist, which is HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL

That option is for Touch Diamond and Touch Pro only, and it does not show on Xperia when you use Advanced Config. It's obviously related to the registry key mentioned above.

I have found the solution, just need to use any registry editor like the Resco Registry Explorer or the SKTools to edit the registry.
Dont want the device to wake up on new SMS ?
It still notifies you with sound/vibrate/LEDs, but the screen will not turn ON
Just add in the below line into the registry location :
[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1

Has anyone tried this out to see if it works...???
Cheers

I have tried it myself and it works, I don't have to worry that I might press anything on the screen when there is incoming SMS.

Thanks for getting back to me...
I was having this problem... when in my pcoket and getting tx message and the opt pad going all over the screen... kinda funny...
Im assuming when updating this key will be deleted and have to be put in again???
Thanks

Not sure about yours but I do not have this key so I have to create a new one and it is working.

I need to create it...
Does it need to be where the
HKCR
HKCU
HKLM
are???
Cheers
Sorted now and working well...
Thanks again

Put it in HKLM.
However Resco registry give me an error and doesn't create this dword. Very very strange...

Using your Registry Explorer an go to the below location :
Location in Registry : HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
Select "New" D_Word and you will be asked to enter the details :
Top portion just enter : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
and bottom portion just enter the value : 1
Save it and you should find the details there :
[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1

For easier way, you can download the latest Xperia Tweak and it include the option to turn off the screen for any incoming sms.

Confirmed Work!
I can confirm this solution works perfectly! I thought if the value does not exist means the device does not support it. Thanks chongbh!

Enable Windows STD Screen Rotation

Not sure where to post this so I created a thread.
Forgive me if this is not correct.
Playing wiht the registry I found the key HLM->System->GDI->Rotation which has a HideOrientationUI attribute. Set it to 0 and the standard screen rotation option will appear in the control panel

great find !!!
thats great news findinf that..is it possible to set soft key to rotate when required ?
thanks again for that !!

It gives you an extra option in Control Panel that lets you select if the display is Landscape or Portrait.

You can use Gyrator or GSen to do that

Yes, this is not automatic it just re-enable the standard screen panel to manually select orientation.

please advise, how, would love to be able to work on documents etc in landscape (auto switch) mode if possible.
Peter.

As apd said for the automatic rotation you can use Gyrator or GSen. Otherwise with this you can start your app and then manually rotate the screen from the control panel.

just tried this and it says "access denied" when i edit the value data and change the 1 to 0
am i missing something?
Steve

used resco regedit ... works!

wow. This is really nice. Thanks! now I don't need the gyrator!

I can find nothing new after manipulating the registry.
Where can i exactly find the option in control panel?

In the Screen menu. If you still can't see the option, try a soft reset.

excellent find. thnx for sharing!

any program to change that or a cab file ??
thanks

Ill try this on the diamond to see if it works.
I wish I could try it with the demo phone @ the store (touch HD) before buying it.

I tried the registry edit on the demo Touch HD at the store.
The problem is that it keeps reverting back to portrait mode after accessing the phone menu.
So it will remain perfectly in landscape mode till I try to enter a phone number.
The phone menu is vertical, then it remains vertical.
Any info?
thanks.

You can change them with Schaps Advanced Config.

for example the left softkey changed 2 Contact,
remember, the extension***(.lnk)***
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeLSKText = Contacts
HomeLSKPath = \windows\addrbook.lnk ***(.LNK)***
and same procedure with the right softkey...
next time please use first the megasupercool -´*SEARCH*`- button.

Jesus, talk about illiteracy. Don't know what would be worse, writing like that because you don't know better, or writing like that because you try to appear "cool!"

you can find softkey manager with diamond mode... pm me if you want it...
