Does anyone know how to disable Gyrator2 with certain applications when the phone is locked. For example once in TomTom and the phone is locked I would like to have the phone not rotate anymore. Idea would be that locks also locks the screen orientation. Corners tend to cause the screen to rotate backwards and forwards.

Anyone know how to exclude the screen to rotate when the phone is locked? I got everything else but I can't seem to figure this out. I got my garmin to rotate when I take the stylist out, lock position when I place the stylist back in. I find this helpful when making turns so the gps doesn't like go crazy trying to rotate.
On gyrator I set it to rotate with Garmin with the following actions, only rotate when stylist is removed, if it is inserted, do not rotate. So when I open Garmin, it doesn't rotate, take stylist out, rotate screen to landscape, then place the stylist back in and then it locks in landscape. If you want I can give you the settings, just use it for tom tom instead of Garmin. I only use gyrator for text,email, all apps, disabled it for manilla, disabled it for phone calls, disabled it for incoming calls.
I don't like how it rotates while locked. It doesn't rotate while its unlocked so I don't know why it rotates while locked.
..
Thanks for that. Will certainly get me sorted.

On the universal when the screen is flipped, the orientation is changed automatically. I want to be able to disable the functionality. Because I am using a car cradle which works on Landscape mode and everytime I would have to change the orientation manually or by running a shortcut.
Can anyone help?
Update: The service called ScreenRotate_Service.dll has nothing to do with the screen rotating. I cannot understand which APIs are called when the screen is flipped.
Anyone?
Try to search in a register, one time i have seen it...
Hi guys
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this bug as mentioned on the Gyrator website help page? In fact, does anyone get this bug or just a special few??
Q. When I rotate to any new orientation, the phone application pops up, or the today/manila screen appears?
A. As you'll probably know, orientation is disabled by default on the Diamond, because the HTC developers are either too incompetent, or lazy, to build applications which are orientation aware. As such, strange things happen with either Gyrator rotates the screen, or you use any other application to do the same thing.

Yes, it is a PITA. I'm using a file called "rotator-netxscale-2003-4k-v420". It brings up a box on top of other apps to change the screen around. I have it programmed to the down volume button with AEBplus. The trick is never to switch the screen orientation while in TouchFlo3D. If you start your app first then activate the above program to change the screen it is all good, if you go to the TouchFlo 3D interface...it is not a happy camper. Unlike the normal WM Today Screen, TouchFlo3D Home is allergic to landscape.
I use Gyrator2, and TouchFLO is disabled by default in the settings, preventing it from being re-oriented if the device is turned. If you do a little searching, you'll find more threads that can help you configure Gyrator2 to stop the phone app, including incoming calls, from re-orienting. Plus, you can add any app you want in the settings. One I added was the Bubble Breaker game, which would restart a new game automatically if you turned the phone...
The same thing can also be done with MobileMagic.
Just deny auto rotation to the the apps that do not like
to be rotated or that rotate them self, like Teeter.
Thanks for the info chaps but i think that there is a bug in the system which SOMETIMES pops up the phone or manilla when i rotate an app (opera or tomtom mainly) from portrait to landscape using any method (gyrator, gsen or handymenu). It seems that these apps (phone, manilla) dont like any change of orientation even when they are in the background and opera or tomtom is rotated.
I have changed the gyrator2 .ini file to make no apps rotate except the ones i want to. Not even that works........
Any more help please?

Hmmm, don´t have that Problem. Dunno why, but it works as it should.
Hi, just found a bug using gyrator on my new touch HD when typing a message in landscape mode. The dot (.) and comma (,) are inverted, so trying to type one of them gives the other as a result. Haven't yet tried without gyrator if the keybord gives the same problem, and will post it here later on.
Thanks
For some reason even though it never used to do it, my touch hd has begun to rotate the screen automatically when it's in my pocket etc.
When I press the standby button to wake it up it's usually the wrong way up now, and it's annoying having to wait a few seconds to rotate the correct way round. It never used to do this, but it would still rotate things like opera and photos etc by turning the phone and that's great.
Why would it have begun behaving like this? I have got Gyrator installed but have never set anything up on it and it's been there for ages so I doubt it's that.
Cheers!
Have you upgraded with any og the Gyrator / G-Sensor cabs?
Regardless - search for "changescreen" on the Themes/Apps/S/ware forum and use that to set programs you do not wish to rotate.
Thanks mate.
No I haven't upgraded the gyrator cab or the G sensor one (I don't think anyway....).
As I say I haven't even used gyrator as I'm not certain how to set it up and decided I didn't really need to anyway.
Have installed changescreen (cheers for the tip) and set Manila in it to only have upright portrait mode. It seems to work but not quite fully.
For instance, if I have the phone on its side (landscape) and on standby, then wake it up, it comes on in landscape.
It does then change to portrait after a couple of seconds, even if it's on its side so the software does what it should do, but that delay while it kicks in is still pretty annoying to be honest.
Is that normal with this app?
Bottom line is that the phone didn't do this until recently so there must be something that has changed and can therefore be undone, but I don't know what.
Appreciate the help.
Hello,
I often use the phone in landscape mode in my car. I would like to get the home screen and call screen (displayed when making or receiving a call) to rotate to landscape display. I've noticed that the call screen sometimes rotates to landscape but then very quickly back to portrait. I've managed to get the home screen to rotate to landscape using the rotate hotkey hint and tip. Is there a way of making this behaviour happen by default when the phone is rotated?
Thanks,
James
How did you manage to rotate the home screen ? I know there is a tip using rotate.exe .. but I could not find it.
I would like to rotate everything manually.
Anyway my phone application rotates correctly with no problem. Actually I hate it

I didn't think that you could rotate the current version of Sense (except of course photos & videos and the music tab).
Dr.Sid, if you want manual rotation, give PLToggle a go, in my signature
Recently bought a iconia tab A500 for the GF, and she is loving this whole tablet thing, but how do we get the screen to rotate ?
It rotated left 90° when she was playing with latitude on google maps. And now I cannot seem to get it to rotate back. aranoid:
There is a small switch next to the volume button, but no matter how many times I flick it while rotating the tablet in my hands the home screen will not rotate back.
Yet if i happen to re-launch google maps i am able to rotate the tablet and the scren will rotate correctly, exit maps and it stops working
It does appear on the screen "lock on" & "lock off"
I`ve read the booklet that came with it, but it proved to be useless.
The rotation lock should be pushed to the left (closest to the volume rocker) to be unlocked. Try a reboot or power off and then on to see if that helps.
Greetings.
I just tried your suggestion, and still no luck.
Cheers
Kris.
