Hi,
when i open my wizard to show the keyboard, i noticed that the screen is put into landscape mode just before some switch is activated.
When i fully open the screen since yesterday my right upper part of the screen seems not to work anymore. So i can not use the OK button, the sound volume, etc. My Start button is working.
Also the calendar is automatically started when i open up the keyboard.
When i put back the screen to portait mode just a tiny bit (just after the locking and before the screen goes to portrait mode) the screen starts working like it is supposed to be in landscape mode eg. all buttons are working again?
Hallo!
Does anyone know the fastest and easiest way to change the display between Landscape and Portrait mode ?
Sometimes when I pickup my device from my Pocket, I notice that the display is on "Landscape" mode, but after I hold it in my hand it turns back to normal (Portrait mode), what causes that ?
Thanks in Advance!
I'm not sure what causes your phone to go into landscape when it's in your pocket but the easiest way to get it back (aside from sliding to expose the keyboard and closing it) is to assign one of your buttons to rotate your screen. In your buttons menu there is a "rotate" option. I changed my messaging button (Upper left corner) to rotate my screen when pressed.
If you use the original case that comes with the MDA VARIO sliding it out of the case causes this rotation. This happens when the PDA is active ( for example an incoming call ), the magnet in the case somehow causes the rotation when you pull it out.
Its weird, but many people experience it - I don't use the case at all and never had such problems.
If you can afford to lose a hardware button then you can assign either Rotate Screen Left or Rotate Screen Right to one through Start -> Settings -> Buttons
Thank you all for your helpful replies.
And yeah DREAMBOXER, you are right, I am using the case that came with the device... I never thought that the magnet causes that. OK is it bad and will harm my device with the time or it is just normal and nothing bad will happen if I continue using this case ?
it won't damage it
it's just the keyboard sensor is a magnet as well
Hi,
Since I had my 8525 I have always had the comm button set to rotate the screen in landscape. I like to keep it like that and I haven't been able to figure out of to force the 8525 to staying in landscape at all times..so I just hit the button a lot.
A few minutes ago I completely reset my 8525 for the first time. I then changed the button to rotate the screen and it is now rotating it in the wrong direction.
It used to rotate the screen as if the keyboard was out, but now it is rotating the screen in the opposite direction.
Any idea why this happened or how to fix it?
Edit: I think I fixed it.
Have you checked the screen settings for the orientation setting?
So I have a couple problems...
1) The Lock Screen keeps going away...it actually does the whole unlock button at the bottom of the screen and not the full lock screen. Sometimes when I hard reset it, it will come back though...Any ideas?
2) When I push the call button the call log comes up on top, but the keypad on bottom is missing...And once again sometimes when I hard reset it will come back...I am running Dutty's 0.8 rom, but haven't seen anybody mention this as a problem on the rom...
Any ideas?
Is that rom landscape enabled? (i've not tried that one) If it is, Try this next time it happens. Close dial pad, switch to landscape, (and back if you want) then open it again. Works?
No, no landscape enabled...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and to get the lock screen back again, try holding down the off button, then selecting lock
usually works for me
Nope doesn't work either, still just makes the "unlock" button come on at the bottom of the home screen...
Nobody else has these problems? Maybe I should just reflash and see what happens...
This is probably going to not get any responses as most people aren't using the on screen keyboard, but I'll post it anyways.
Has anyone's on screen keyboard had the mode switching button break? This is the button in the bottom right that lets you switch between full keyboard, thumb keyboard, and transcriber. When it stops working, the icon disappears. If you click it, the key turns white and stays white and does nothing.
I don't know what causes it to break, but once it's broken, I can't get it to work again. It seems to be user-account specific. It works fine on other user accounts I create, but once it breaks on one account it stays broken.
this happens to me too, ms forums only ever says refresh your pc, that work for less than a day, hopefully it is fixed by beta
