You might be able to rotate the screen using the latest Intel drivers.
The usually offer screen rotation in their preferences.
I dont have Vista installed at the moment, so I cannot test it.
just follow this post and see what happens.

Remote Desktop on HD, toggle fullscreen

Hi forum-users,
I´m new to this forum, it´s great, thanks to all posters.... I´m german, please excuse my weak english.
I searched the forum for a solution for my problem, but didn´t find it:
I´m using the built-in software "Remote Desktop", and it works fine, except that I´m not able to switch between fullscreen-mode and the mode where i have menus and can use the onscreen-keyboard.
How can I toggle between fullscreen-mode and non-fullscreen-mode.
Non of the 7 keys of the touch HD seems to have this function.....
thanks a lot for your advices.

Hi AsterX, welcome to the forum.
I also do have a problem with RDP Mobile. I never get a connection with RDP Mobile to my local PC. I set up the wlan, connected to it, but if I try to connect to the PC it never succeds.
Does anybody know what it could be?

- Do you have remote function enabled on target-device?
- Do you have specified an account for remote?
- Firewall rule active for remote-desktop?
- Can you connect a shared folder via Mobile Explorer?
Please check these points.

Hi D-Jay
Thanks for your answer.
Indeed all points you mentioned are fine cos I use my second PC (client) to get to the server trough RDP. So I dont know why it doesnt work with the mobile.
I tried to connect with the same account I am using from the client PC, so it should work, doesnt it?

try double tap the screen to go to full screen, if there isn't a menu.
Hi buggybug0,
thanks for Your reply.
I already tried double tapping on the screen, also I tried long tapping/holding on then screen. Up to now I didn´t find any way to toggle from fullscreen to ´normal´ screen.
Any further ideas?

ahh.. well my HD won't arrive till friday, and i just sold my TyTn. umm.. try putting the stylus at all four corners, and/or all four edges (middle of the edge) to see if it brings up a hidden menu. I know on win xp desktop version of the Remote Desktop has the menu auto hide at the middle top of the screen, may be the same thing?
sorry, since i don't have any device, i'm just shooting blanks, may not work
Hi buggybug0
thanks for Your efforts
I putted die stylus to all corners, middles, long, short, tapping, holding, double-tapping.... I can´t find any way to return from fullscreen to non-fullscreen.....:-(
I also know the behavior of the desktop-version of RDP, unfortunatly it is not the same way on mobile...
Maybe You will find a solution when You have Your own HD

I have the same problem, if you go full screen you're not getting out of full screen without killing the application! I think another issue with no hard soft keys.
I even dont get a connection
How did you set up your LAN? What Windows is on the PC you connect?
Did you configure something special on the PC to get it working?

Hi Ascenca83
the connection itself worked at once.
PC: WIN XP SP3, conntected to a LAN through cable, fixed ip-Adress, MY COMPUTER, PROPERTIES, REMOTE, [X] ALLOW USERS TO ESTABLISH A REMOTECONNECTION
Touch HD: Remote Desktop, IP-Adress, Connect..., User/Password, and it works.
But the problem, that I can´t get out of the fullscreen, and therefore can´t use the virtual keyboard, still exists....
hth

Found the problem. Strangely the Touch HD had problem with my wpa-psk key. Had to set a new one and update the time setting of the router and then it worked.
With wpa2-psk I wasnt able to get a connection at all. Unsupported??
I tried RDC and got 'Internal Error'
Anyone know what this means?
Hmmm weird, to access the network I have to go into IE and type \\SERVER\ but despite the fact this opens the file manager it doesn't work directly in file manager!!!
If I browse to a folder on my server, I cannot then go back to \\SERVER\ afterwards without going via IE again!
What's with that!!!! Might expain why RDC doesn't work though.
Probably we need to contact HTC support and ask?
Who is the developer of this RDP mobile? Microsoft?
Or maybe just wait couple of months for Win Mo 6.5 Probably they fixed there.
Cant wait that looooooong
Is there really no solution for it to go fullscreen on this lovely portable screen?
Any alternative programs?
Ascenca
I think, there should be another solution for this problem than waiting for WIN6.5;-)?
The Touch HD is because of its large screen a great tool for a RemoteDektopClient. But without beeing able to work in fullscreen-mode, a great part of the worth of an bis screen is gone...
Does HTC have a good working support-hotline via email?
Thanks

AsterX, don't worry, i still remember you. infact, the first thing i tried when i got my phone was RemoteDesktop. Now I see your problem, i couldn't find a solution.. yet. for the sake of other the issue is this:
in mobile remote desktop client, when you log on using non-full screen, then go to full screen with connection still being alive, you cannot get out of full screen. of course you can also choose to go into full screen as the client connects, but the problem still exists -> if you are in full screen now, you can't get out of it.
this problem never came to mind because my previous PPC had a keyboard. i still be poking around on this issue.
Hi buggybug0
yes, You exactly described the problem.
Additionally, when you are in fullscreen-mode, you cant reach the virtual keyboard
So you can't type anything, if You are in fullscreen-mode..., and you can't leave the fullscreen-mode without cutting the connection
Thanks

Setting GSen to exclude rotating today screen

Sorry for the load of newbie questions. Could not find an answer to this on google. Does anyone know to do this?
I found GSen to react buggy on my HD, sometimes would work, sometimes not. Recommend you to try the free Gyrator, where exclusion is very easy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427805
Start - Programs - Gsen CFG
Make sure the file has a line like this:
#window(Manila)
and save the file. Other exclusions you may want are
#window(TEETER)
#window(opera)
#window(htcalbum)
#window(cprog.exe)
#window(youtube)
Gsen has been working fine for me.
#window(cprog.exe)

That's touchflo3d though isnt it? I want to exclude the windows mobile today screen. I disabled touchflo3d as it is limited in what it can do.
Any thoughts?
I know this is borderline bumping ;-) but I just wanted to say thanks for the tip on
#window(youtube)
That's an important one because if not, any movement (at least on my HD) will attempt to turn the video around and it gets lost in the process. I then end up with a video the size of my thumbnail.
Gyrator did not work on my HD. After installation, it just gave me an error. So, I use gsen and so far no problems (other than the youtube issue).
Being ex-UIQ3 and new to WinMob apologies if this is dumb. Have loaded GSEN which seesm to work fine except on the TouchFlo screens. Settings I need to alter perhaps?
does anyone have the GSEN cab file they can post here? ive been looking for 2 days and cant find it?????
many thanks
heres GSEN & Gyrator if anybody wants them

Screen Rotation

Hello all. I have always wondered why i was not able to rotate the screeen more for apps other than opera. Why did i need to slide open the keyboard to get landscape mode? Well in searching i found this app in T-mobile touch pro 2 forum. the discovery was made by McBrian. Unfortunately i am not too sure who wrote the app. For this i apologize. I have used xda extensively and thought that this would be a good little app to post...to give back to the community. so here it is....Once u install the the cab, go to Programs and start the application and change the default settings to suit ur preference. I take no responsibilty for what happens to ur phone
there are several apps that do that, and can be found here on xda with some searching. Thanks for the link

If you want to uninstall it, all you have to do is go to Start>Settings>System>Remove Programs and select Changescreen before pressing "Remove".
Dave your the freakin man!!!
I swear your everywhere!!!
Anyway, I just downloaded the program and I was having a little trouble with excluding and including stuff...
I have no idea what's going on, but I think I got it to work. It's pretty slow though...
Can you post what you have on each tab checked and unchecked. I promise this will be the last you hear from me!!!
Thanks again,
LOL don't worry about it, I'm happy to help
On the 1st tab I have Enabled, Run on Startup, and the first two directions in the next row checked. On the second tab, I deleted "manila" from the list and nothing is checked. On the third tab, nothing is checked.
As for the slowness, however, there's no way I know to speed it up. It's a shame, as it does take quite a while to rotate.
Ahh...that's the problem...
I remember reading something you wrote that said exclude Manila...but I couldn't find it.
On the second tab (Exceptions), I have nothing there.
I simply have a bottom at the top that says "ADD". If I click add, it brings a blank slate and I can type stuff on there...it's weird.
Thanks again,
so whats the difference between this cab, abd the g sensor cab that once installed allows all of the manila TF3D stuff to rotate using the phones g sensor,then any new app you add just use g sensor app to make them rotate,theres no lagg with either of these
Even for my AT&T Tilt 2?

g config works with any pro 2 you jus st launch it then launch the app you want to rotate then insert the stylus and it adds that app to the ratation settings,
as for the g sensor cab im not ure give it a try, if it works then calender etc and everything else on TF3d should rotate without having to open the keyboard , if it doesnot work just remove the cab file

I'm not too savy with HTC's...
Thanks,
from what i understand, and correct me if im wrong, but these programs will make ur battery drain significantly...the reason being is bc it "pools" the accelerometer alot more often than normal...again, correct me if im wrong but i believe this is true

[TIPS] Improve Screen Sensitivity Of Your WinMo (.cab) UPDATE 25/4/11

Hi,
I have found tips over the forums on how to improve the screen sensitivity of your WinMo resistive touchscreen
1) When calibrating your screen, tap the cursor hairs as accurately and as lightly as possible. I use a toothpick for this, it has a fine tip. You will notice immediately how much more responsive your screen is!
2) Another method I found was:
a) Install Attached .cab / Reg Tweak
b) Soft Reset
c) Be Amazed at your Screen Sensitivity!
This is a little .cab file / reg tweak created by kevinpwhite (all credits to him)
EDIT: Many people in the thread have said that it has calibrated their screen wrong and they can't navigate it (cab/reg) This has resulted in a hard reset to get the touchscreen back(due to different touchscreen resolutions etc) I will investigate more into this and create a new version, if possible. Please use it at your own risk, and be sure to create a backup of your device.
Originally by Reix2x
Hi, dudes, my HTC WIZARD gets "untouchable" after this installation, but i found the way to solve it! =D
1- Download: CeRegEdit (u can found it on Google, with this u can explore your mobile reg trough your PC)
2- Open it (with your cell phone connected in ActiveSync)
3- Go to Tools, and select "Unlock registry" (your registry will be "Editable")
4- Navigate to:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH] and change this values to your defaults:
"CalibrationData" and "MaxCalError" (you have to found the values for your phone, here in XDA i foud the values for my phone)
5- Softreset
I hope to help someone, and i hope than no one had to make an horrible hardreset

This was created specifically for the TG01, but i think that the WinMo stored values are the same across all devices. It simply changes a reg key to increase the screen pressure to the max.
Please give me feedback if it works for you!
Please hit the THANKS BUTTON if you like this!
well, this just ****ed over my omnia, and i can't access it from my computer as i dont have a connect cable. any tips on how to bring it back to normal without hard reset?

i've tested in my O2 LIFE WM6, at the first time i got trouble, i couldnt tap my screen well. when i tapped all screen, it connected to bottom right screen.
i used my navigation button to reach the SETTING-SYSTEM-SCREEN-ALIGN SCREEN.
the align screen works. then i used a srynge to calibrate it (dont try this at home), the final result is........
WORKS GREAT LIKE A CHARM!!
my screen becomes more sensitive! I dont need my stylus anymore, with resco keybord typing is so much fun.
THANK YOU..

this sets your screen sensitivity to the maximum allowed pressure point. So your resisitive touch screen will require a light touch to register changes.
This is what loads of people complain about? Poor screen sensitivity? So try this out!!

I've installed on my diamond 2 and I have been the same as the other: to do a reset, I have completely lost the calibration of the screen. Through "My mobile" I could recalibrate it, but do not notice any difference ...

Thanks for trying amyway! It certainly works for me though. It just recalibrates the reg entries for screen sensitivity. It wont male a huge difference!

I always thought that this couldn't really be done. Tried many before and didn't see a difference. Then again I can't help myself so I will try this out too.
why didn't you come up with this earlier? i wasted two years using my htc jade with this insensitivity, finally a solution
thank you so much
Okay, I will try it now, but we need to know if there are a way to uninstall it safely in case if anything wrong happen like that one who had the Omnia, also you should type if we have to recalibrate the screen points after installing the tweak on all devices or what.
Thanks in advance.
tried it on my hTC Gene (P3400) running 6.5.5 and i got the same problem mentioned in post #5...dead unresponsive screen with a few taps being wrongly located towards the bottom right of the screen...so had to go into the screen setting via my D-pad and re-align the screen to enable it again
i think problem has something to do with the screen resolution (mine is qvga)
faced similar issues when trying a screen sensitivity improvement hack meant for wvga screens i found somewhere within the forums...
anyways nice job...its great to see some people still trying to make an effort to keep WinMo going!! keep up the good work!!

first try method one of calibrating your screen on your own
if you try method two of installing the cab thenall you have to do is run the cab file and soft-reset your device
if its worked, and we hope it does, then that should be it, you should have a screen which is more responsive
if you get a frozen screen just navigate to settings/system/screen and align your screen again to get it to work using the direction keys if you have them or by any other means
or hard reset to undo the settings
i'm just sharing whatever info i have...do tell me if i've left anything out

I'm about to bring back my htc shift too... anybody in 2020 with any luck installing windows 10?
I ran with Windows 10 until recently, but had to give up on it as it was too bogged down by background updates and telemetry. If you can turn everything off it should be usuable, but I reverted back to WIndows and decided to use my Shift as a permanently offline retro machine.

Don't worry, the touchscreen will eventually work in Windows 7&10 eventually, you just have to keep faffing. Once it works, it keeps working forevermore.
I can't remember the specifics, but I would recommend to keep doing the following in no particular i.e. random order:
install "VistaECDrvV"
install Intel VGA Driver
Install "TouchScreen"
run resolution changer exe (or change the resolution from the shift control centre)
If you keep trying the above and have no joy, you may have more luck with the Sherry graphics driver, which seems to be more sophisticated (it allows Flight Simulator X to run!)
At some point it might start blue screening, but just keep doing the above in various different order and eventually all will be well. If necessary boot into safe mode to undo whatever caused the bluescreening and try a different order.
The fact that the touchscreen is working in SnapVue shows that there is no hardware issue.
It will eventually work, but how much time you want to spend trying is up to you.
Which OS are you running by the way? I'm running Windows 7. Windows doesn't work with the wifi driver without further faffing, covered elsewhere in this forum, but I can point you directly to it if need be.
Good luck and have fun, and if the fun stops, stop!
