HTC P3600 (Trinity) screen orientation

Hi all,
does anybody know if there's a way to quickly change between landscape & portrait on the Trinity - or to set up a hot key to do so?
Thanks.

Of course there is. For instance, install SPB Pocket Plus and assign Rotate Screen Left or Rotate Screen Right to one of Trinity's buttons. There are actually many applications that offer screen rotating function.

You don't need any tool. Just use the normal WM5 settings to assign new functions to key 1 (voice recording) and key 2 (camera). One of the selections is "<Rotate screen>". The assigning of "<Rotate screen>" to the "voice recording" key was one of first things I changed in the Trinity settings.

What about on the screen
...thanks for that, but I kind of like those keys for the camera and sound recording. Is there any way you can put a shortcut on the Today screen to perform the same task?

In Today screen there is by default an icon to rotate the screen!

Icon?
I can't find a default icon on the Today screen for changing screen orientation - can you tell me what it looks like and where it should be?
Thanks

This is part of the HTC-plugin. It should be installed on your device if you have an unbranded Trinity by HTC. It includes a battery indicator and icons for the light settings, the comm manager and the rotation. Those four icons should be in a line somewhere on your today screen.

Exactly.
Starting from left to right I have:
Battery status - Screen orientation - Comm. Manager - Light adjustment
In particular the screen orientation icon is the one with the picture of the P3600 and the stylus pointing its screen

ah!..found it - i could have sworn the screen orientation icon was for something else. Thanks to all.

How to exclude applications from Gyrator2 (example: "in a call")

Hi there,
i tried to exclude some applications in Gyrator 2 menus but i do'nt know how to exclude rotation, when i'm in a call ( to end the call for example, the auto rotation makes the "endcall" button changing place and it's hard to end my call or when i'm listening to messages and want to delete one , the keypad changes orientation ....)
for all others apllications like photos albums, or today screen or other ..it is fine, i set everything with success.
Another question, in the input settings, i laways have by default the Compact Qwerty for the portrait mode and this is like this since i have installed Gyrator, and when i change the settings in the input menu for the Full Qwerty, it did nothing, it is always the Compact one that appears, ( when in landscape mode, the full qwerty is ok) ....

Events in the menu
....mine (I must admit I found someone elses & used it) has an even for incoming call.
I'll dig out the file & post it
Disable (Opera),Opera_MainWndClass,1,0,0,
Disable (Manila),Manila,1,1,0,
Disable (Teeter),TEETER,1,0,0,

Disable (Camera),IACSP20_Main,1,0,0,
Keypad,Phone ,1,1,1,
Incoming Call,Phone - Incoming,1,1,1,
Rotate,*,1,63,1,

...thanks , i already added an event for incoming call but it doesn't work when you are IN CALL , just worked before you take the call ..... that's my issue ....

I'm using S2P on my HD but is is buggy in combination with gyrator2 how can i disable S2P like opera etc.
thx

Try this...
Disable (Incoming_Call),Dialog,1,0,0,
Edit: made a mistake here, should be Disable (Incoming_Call),Dialog,1,0,0,,0

And what about the dialer?? Can anyone tell me what is the line to disable the dialer from preventing to rotate ??

how do i tell gyrator not to rotate when a picture is viewed?
right now it is spinning around which is very annoying.
when i tap on a picture in the pics tab the picture opens and often rotates twice so it is top at bottom

Add an event call Disable (Album), click Album in application tab and tick portrait in orientation tab. On the event list make sure the even is set to orientation (has a 1 to the right of it) and apply. Works great for me.

i tried that but it doesnt work.
gyrator doesnt seem to recognize the album application. it turns the picture one time too often for 90 degrees
i tried to choose the album application in the list which is calles "htcalbum class" and also the manual recognition. neither of that did work.

If you can, copy and paste here your event.ini from the Gryrator2 folder so I can see the settings your using.

i've that the problem with htc album is that yu rotate the device, htc album rotates itself, then gyrator rotates it again, then rotates it back again to the correct position. does that make sense? effectively the screen goes like this:
0°, 90°,180°,90°
is there a way of having gyrator just completely ignore htc album?

I uninstalled gyrator and tried gsen instead. this program works fine with photo album. now i have a problem where i can't get it to load on startup. i get an error saying it can't find the g sensor.

uninstalling and reinstalling gyrator seemed to fix it i was going crazy because my settings were exactly the same as yours! now, back to uni work...

I was wondering how to only use the gyrator on 1 specific program that isn't listed? I wanted to use it with Garmin. It works when I had it rotating everything, but it just seems to lag the phone and cause me to miss calls and what not, so I deleted all the events and when I try to go add another for Garmin, I don't see it on the list? Why is that?
And is anyone experiencing a more phone lag with the gyrator running or is it just me? Should I do a format to clear up any cluster I might have from previous uninstalls and reinstalls of programs?

Yes....I would like to know how to set the phone dial pad to NOT rotate also.
Not too sure what all these 1's and 0's mean...as when you go through the settings it has specific descriptions rather than numbers to pick from....

Phone App without Keypad

Hi there,
1. is there a way to start the default X1 Phone Application without the keypad, so that i can see just and only the list of contacts (which is limited to 2 lines by default) and reenable the phonpad when needed by softkey 1 ?
2. I'm searching for hours now. Where can i find the answer on how to enable Wi-Fi during standby ???
Thanks...

Blackstone dialer will do the trick.... its also faster than the stock dialer

Bluetooth icon

I did a hard reset yesterday and now i can't see the bluetooth notification icon in the menubar, so now i can't see if my bluetooth is on or off. Does anyone have a solution for this?

You sbould be able to go into start-->settings-->connections-->comm manager and take a look. It'll show you if bluetooth is on or off.

Yes I now. But before the reset i had the icon in the titlebar. In that way i could easily see in my homescreen if my bluetooth was on or off. It was also very handy because i used to set btIO-mini (which is a bluetooth toggle) to a hardware key for easy and quick switching.

problem solved. I removed my dialer skin (mrincredible 3d) and the icon came back.

Just for your information: I tried another skin (Poorlyducks) for my dialer and had the same problem. The bluetooth notificationicon would'n apear. I removed the dialerskin and it came back. Will try some other skins in the near future but it seems that skins installed on my Jade make the bluetoothicon disapear, so be aware if you try some skins!
If you manage to find a nice skin (just for the dialer!) which doesn't make the bticon disapear let me know please.

There's plenty of dialers on here that you can isntall. Just do a search and you'll find them. Not sure about the disappearing icons though....never encountered that kinda problem. I'm using the SPB black47 dialer skin on my Touch. Looks great.

any auto-rotate text messaging programs out there?

Hi, I am the new owner of a touch hd and wanted to know what my best option was for landscape texting and if their was any auto-rotate landscape texting available? even if their is no auto-rotate, can anyone direct me to my best option for landscape texting? thanks
Derrick

Hi !! 24 hours HD owner and I adore it. Actually I found a cool application called Gyrator2 , it switches to landscape and rotate screen depending on how you hold the device ( like iphone ). Check it : http://gyrator.brins0.net/?page=downloads

you can try the new GSen from the Touch Pro 2: http://www.fuzemobility.com/gsen-now-enabled-in-more-apps/
you can add individual applications to the list as well but it works on most applications without any need to add more: http://www.mobilitydigest.com/gain-more-control-of-the-gsen-apps-tp2-edition/
I've used this on a Touch HD and it works

I have tried gsen.
At the moment im am using Dutty's 2.1 Extreme ROM and far as i know manilla should work in lanscape too.
Rotating Manilla seems to be disabled in gsen and i read that i need to add some registry keys in HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\.
I dont really understand how that keys need to look like to make it work. Does anyone else had success?
Edit:
Just found out how it works.

You could also try ChangeScreen...
You could also try ChangeScreen which is my personal favourite as I find it easier to configure than Gyrator:
