Swivel mechanism. How it works????? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi to all,
Is anybody able to give me an answer to the following question:"How the device detects current position of the screen (laptop or pocket mode). Is there any mechanic or magnetic sensors to deal with this?"
Thank you!

yes. from the servicing manual you can see there's a little magnet behind the screen. That's how it detects when the screen lid is opened in landscape mode, too

plz help... very annoying

Hi friends...
I am finding problem... everytime a incoming call comes. my k-jam automatically switches to Landscape mode. even without opening or receiving the call. its hard to always receive the phone in landscape. is there anyway out how to set it for portrait mode by default.
thanks in advance
Victor
I take it you're removing the device from the belt holster that has a magnetized flip cover? If so, it's because the landscape/portrait mechanism in the Wizard is magnetic as well. To test, open the holster case and place the back or bottom of the Wizard on the inside where the magnets are located. You'll see that the image instantly rotates to landscape mode.

questions about magnetic car holder

hi guys! i just wanna ask if the magnets on these magnetic car holders actually affects your pda/phones? im thinking of buying this one http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=746&t_mode=des and i thought of attaching the magnet directly at the back of the tytn. will it have any effect being there all the time. will it affect the electronics or whatever on the pda/phone.
thanks
Magnets won’t affect a PDA or mobile.
The only thing that it effects it the screen orientation if the magnets are too close to the lower left side corner.
I just discovered that it’s less sensitive then the wizard.
Just try to move the magnet of your carrying case around your TyTN and see if it changes the orientation of your screen.
Mine did it once but never again.
Cheers,
Drifter
that's cool then
cheers

Phone starts off in Horizontal screen.

I usually use the phone in vertical mode, but once in a while when I take the phone off sleep, it starts off in horizontal mode. Mind you it was not in horizontal mode to begin with.
I tried duplicating the problem by leaving the phone slightly slided open and turning it on, but I can't recreate the issue.
This has something to do with the case being magnetic. I read about it somewhere.

Quite right barr. The internal switch that operates the landscape mode is a magnetically operated one. Normally as you slide open the keyboard it passes over the switch. BUT when in the holster cases, the powerful magnets on the cases can pass close enough to the switch to change to landscape. Not a big problem really, it will turn itself back around in a second or two.
You can test this by passing the case magnet slowly around the edge of the device and see in turn to landscape mode!

Uni hinge: broken?

Hiya guys,
I need your help. Seems that my little brother has twisted my Uni wrongly and although it still works normally, the hinge is strange. It twists 90 degrees flat on Pocket PC mode, but in H/PC ("laptop") mode, the screen stops twisting at ~88 degrees and doesn't get "flat". (The screen stays oblique, like if I didn't twist it until the end.) Is there something I can do?
Thanks for your help.

turning screen on/off when opening/closing case

It says in the manual that there is a "Hall sensor" hidden somewhere on the screen which allows the screen to be turned on/off when the case is opened/closed. I have a Noreve case which doesn't seem to have this functionality. Does anyone know what the Huawei case has inside it to make this happen, and where exactly it is? Is it a magnet or something else? I've tried moving a magnet everywhere on the screen but I wasn't able to trigger anything.
If possible, I'd like to modify my Noreve case to support his, but I have no idea how the original Huawei case does it.
Also, is there a setting which needs to be enabled for this to work? I have "smart cover" enabled, but I also tried my magnet attempts with it disabled.
From the manual:
"When you use the protective flip cover designed for the M3, the Hall sensor enables your screen to turn on automatically when you open the cover and to turn off when you close it."
"M3 has many useful features which can be used easily. As you open the M3 protective flip cover, the screen turns on. As you close it, the screen turns off."

Make sure Smart Cover is turned on in Smart Assistance settings.
I found it, just a bit up and left from the fingerprint sensor. Not all magnets work, and the pole matters, it only works in one orientation. I also had to put a metal plate on the other side of the magnet so it wouldn't lock it when the case is flipped open and against the back of the tablet.
This is now a perfect replacement for my broken galaxy Tab S!
I have the official Huawei case and I think there are two sensors as on the case there is a plate / magnet (visible under case) to the left and up a bit from the finger print sensor and a second one half way on the right hand edge. I'll try to post a photo tomorrow which will make a much better job than my description
