Screen Keeps Going From Portrait To Landscape.... - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

I want to set my screen as portrait, but as I do this, the phone keeps going back to landscape.
It's really irritating me as I prefer viewing the phone in portrait.
It changes straight back to landscape once the phone goes to power saving mode or if I close the phone and reopen it, it's straight back to landscape again!
I tried 2 different roms, same problem, any ideas??
Thanks

What is the setting in the folder "settings/Screen" is it set to portrait or landscape as default?

The screen settings is set at portrait but keeps changing back to landscape...

Force landscape mode regardless of slide-out keyboard position?

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!

texting in landscape mode

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.

SMS Landscape no longer working correctly....?

I would open my sms tab from the home screen and then after I open a message I would turn my phone sideways and it would go landscape and I would be able to type in landscape etc...
now when I turn it sideways it goes into landscape then switches right back to portrait .... I do not know what is going on, it is a little irritating since typing in landscape is easier for me...

try to recalibrate the accelerometer aka "g" sensor
go to settings-->sound&display=== "calibrate g-sensor" option.
set your phone on a flat surface and let it do its thing.
That did not work.... but thanks for the help any ways! .... I wonder what it is...
I closed all open applications and after that it seemed to work.....

[Leaked 2.2] Landscape Mode

Anyone else notice that the phone will automatically go into landscape mode even if the phone is being held upright? For instance, when I open the market, it will always change to landscape. Is this a 2.2 feature or is something buggy?
80+ views and no replies... I'm guessing this is something unique to me? Alright then, is there any way to recalibrate the phone's orientation?
It's not just you, but you are a bit wrong on exactly what's happening. If I open an app, initially it will open in portrait mode. Then if I rotate the phone it will go to landscape. Now, hit home, and you go back to Sense and its in portrait. Hold the phone in portrait and open another app, it will be in landscape. It's like the phone stays in landscape in the background whenever you go to the Sense screen which is always in portrait, and then ignores or forgets to switch any running apps back to portrait in the background, and any new apps will open in landscape as well. Annoying... I like the way 2.1 switched ALL apps back to portrait whenever you went back to the home screen. Can anyone patch this?

Yes, this is happening to me too... I find myself tilting my phone to fix it when I shouldn't have to. Know of a fix?

If the app at any point forces it into landscape, it'll stay landscape if auto-rotate is off at that instance.
It's because you're pissed, and you can't tell vertical from horizontal

Yeah it's a bug, but it's a wierd one.
Took me an hour of googling and messing about, but basically, if you lock rotation in preferences or any 3rd party 'lock rotation' widget, it'll immediately jump into landscape and stay there.
However if you tap on the battery on the bottom right, then the icon under the time (looks like a musical stave) a menu comes up. If you disable auto rotate there it stays in portrait and doesn't jump into landscape.
