Does anyone else use their wizard in landscape mode? It's easier to get to the keyboard when I need it and there is no delay in switching to landscape.
It works when you change the option for landscape, but then when you slide the keyboard, then slide it closed, it goes back to portrait.
I had a couple of questions...
Firstly, when i slide the keyboard out on my phone to type, the screen obviously changes to landscape mode. I only use my phone in my car for WMP and TTN etc, and so I keep it in landscape mode. So is there any way to stop it returning to portrait mode when i slide the keyboard back?
My second question was is there anyway I can disable the keyboard from popping up when I select a text box? Preferably a reversable way incase i change my mind
Thanks
I am looking for a way for landscape to be the default view.
I have tried many things but once the keyboard is opened and closed, the screen goes back to portrait.
Any help would be appreciated.

nope... not doable I guess... there is some app out there that can sense if it's in one mode and switches to another but that basically means u have 2 switches and even more lag... there is no way to keep it on landscape mode I guess because there is some magnetic reaction that happens when u open the keyboard which can't be turned off...
that is just what I read on forums trying to find answer to same problem... i gave up
Thanks for the info.
Is there a way to map this to a hardware button? I know that there are a few programs out there for mapping additional features to the hardware button.
well ya u can map rotate to a button even with regular buttons mapping setting.
Settings - Personal - Buttons
Pick your button and choose Rotate Screen it's one of the first fiew in the list... (sorry if it's not exactly Rotate Screen im running on memory here)
If I want to change the orientation the screen I tap on the orientation button and the screen became landscape but when I extract the keyboard the screen return portrait... so I want that when I replaice the keyboard the screen come back to landscape... is it possible???
ok... no solution...
Why not press the orientation button while the keypad is still out?
because I don't want to tap the orientation everytime...
set a hw button to rotate the screen, works fine with pcmkeyboard

The device was designed to work on portrait.. so it will insist on going portrait.
You may ask vjay555 on this forum to write you a simple program that will force your device to stay on landscape. A very good developer.. he makes simple tools like that. He's a mod here.

Settings/System/Screen - Landscape
Why would you want to do this? The phone automatically rotates the display for you, and there's a built-in keyboard...

Coz in some places in my country/places ... its better be more discreet with the electronic things in public.
And the slide mode... te keyboard out... "blink" "blink"

Map either the left or right button to rotate the screen. Start>Settings>Buttons

thanks!!!!
Only it will turn back of you open and close the keyboard. AFAIK there is no way how to keep it in landscape.
You can go to Settings > Buttons to map one of the silver keys to rotate the screen for you when you press it.
