i have to inquiries:
1-i felt that while viewing in landscape mode the screen becomes less responsive. has anyone noted anything like that.
2-is there a way not to make gyrator start up automatically everytime u restart ur device. for example i like to use it only when i'am reading documents.
any ideas???
any qualms on using SKTools Gsens (smaller footprint and also free)? It'll solve both your issues..

Does any one know where I can get the software to switch views on the xda2 screen between portrait & landscape formats ? When I am trying to view spread sheets it becomes extreemly frustraiting having to scroll accross every time I want to view things !!! :x
hey mate,
when i was still using my xda1 i tried out 2 kinds of software; ny-something (forgot the name) and another one called jslandscape. the ny works better but i never got the correct settins to make the appearance right (based on resolution). and the worse part is to uninstall the sucker you have to do a hard reset. now that i'm using an xda2 i haven't heard of anyone successfully using either of the 2 softwares i mentioned; a friend of mine had to do a hardreset after trying it out on his unit. my 2 cents worth is that be VERY careful when you decide to try out orientation software; make sure you back up your data well.
cheers

Have a look at http://www.nyditot.com/
I never testesed it but it seems very good (pocketpc award 2003)

I use nyditot quite a lot, at 480x360 landscape for terminal services and web browsing, and it works perfectly. Note that there were issues with PC2003 until recently, so make sure you get the latest version.
I beleive you can uninstall it without a hard reset. However, you need to do a soft reset between screen changes which can be a bit irritating.
Also, the SIP is scaled too, so can be a bit fiddly to use at finer resolutions, although I rather like it tiny.
I just wish PPC devices would start to use, and properly support, the new 640x480 screens that are becoming standard on Palm5 devices.
I also use the nyditot software. I first started using it when I had an iPAQ but since it works with WM2003 is was able to migrate to my XDA II
Hey everyone. I heard (read) about the Mobile 2003SE with the Lanscape mode. CAN'T WAIT!!! I have a question though. I remember seeing some software that will do it for you as a stand alone program that will run some compatibility issues when trying to run certian programs. I have just upgraded to the new 4.01.16 rom and had included Pocketnester the best NES emulator I have found for these devices... Is there a way to force it to do lanscape mode??? It would be perfect to map your directional pad on the left and have the contacts and calandar buttons mapped as A and B which I currently have now but I have to hold it from the top and side. It would be awesome if I could get it to work right without having to wait for SE. Thanks

Awesome Software. I downloaded the trial version and it is cool. You can virtualy change the resolution, and re orient the screen. it seems that the operating system and all of the windows applications are already set to go lanscape they all filled the screen and didn't display anything past the lower half of the 240 pixels when it was oriented. All of my programs ran at the lanscape orientation (some better than others) except the pocket nester... the whole reason I was hoping to get software like this.
I have a question on the topic. I know it is an operating system that runs on our beolved cellphones as well but how are they going to re build the phone app screen. I don't see much of a fiesable way to do it in lanscape mode. it is probably something we will have to see O2 or T-Mo set up then set it up in the kitchen Is there any other ways people will be able to rewrite the phone app so it can run on the lanscape mode?
The phone does run in lanscape mode but you can't see anything past the 456 row you can't see the 789 or the *0# or the Send/End button.
who has a possible solution to this potential problem?
I have tried several ways to make this software work. The original post didn't state clearly the procedure and I saw many having some pointer problems. Here is the working procedure:
Installation:
Unzip the WVGA2 into your phone's SD card
Install WVGAFIX2_sdkCerts
Install WVGAFIX2
This will general a program named VModeSwitch in your program list
How to run the program:
1. Put your WVGA2 fix program "VModeSwitch" in the menu list (settings --> menus)
2. Slide open your X1 and make the phone in landscape mode
3. Click start and click VModeSwitch
4. Click 480x640 then click "set"
5. The screen will shrink to 480x640 landscape mode but in opposite direct
6. Now, close your X1, then the VGA will switch to Portrait mode.
Now you can use the phone and everything works with no pointer problem.
Have Fun! Below is the game list that works in my phone
Work in WVGA mode:
1. Arvale II: Ocean
2. Astraware Sudoku
3. Bejeweled 2
4. Bubble Breaker
5. Final Battle
6. Maumau
7. Solitaire
8. Spore
9. Tower Mogul
10. Tradewinds 2
11. Warring Nations
Only Works in WVGA2 Fix mode:
1. Aces Texas Hold'em No Limit
2. Stolen In 60 Seconds
3. Westward
wvga2 fix
I have also installed the wvga2 fix (from 'cuttila' or some name like that), first the certfile. Tomtom6 is now in portraitmode working, but.... any other application (phone, agenda, etc.) is sticking on the screen, I cannot close it, it wont get 'away' until I open another application, which will stick again, I have as well done callibration again but solves nothing. Alltogether I càn use all the apllications bùt on a anoying way. Finally to get rid of it I have to switch off the whole phone. Xperia X1.
Why does Sony Ericsson not come with a nice solution, that would solve a lot of problems, if they make a product with higher resolution they should know a lot of applications just won't work on it. So whats easilier than deliver as well the solution for it.
Waiting for better times.....
Did you try WVGAFix3?
Try it several times and works great for me on my X1
wvgafix wvga2 wvga3
Okay, I downloaded WVGA3.fix to my Xperia X1 into My documents and it looks to work better. But it looks like I should not open my keybord, in other words once you activate the application you should not change from portret to landscape / vertical to horizontal, is asking for problems, menu's stay sticking. Anyway my Tomtom Navigator 6 works OK on it. But if Tomtom is on, it looks like I cannot just have a look in my contacts or other applications, but that might as well be the case if the resolution would not be a problem I think. If TomTom is on the Windows icoon for the different menu's is not available. Telephone anyway works OK. It might be that the sound on bluetooth carkit is a bit worse because of using much memory? I have to try it further out. But having my Tomtom always with me and working is very fine! I am happy with it. Thanks.
I can only browse in portrait moge. When I'm changing device orientation to landscape Opera is simply dessapearing
Any advice ?
Screen rotation
The HD has a g-sensor (it knows when you turn it), so the following applications makes most applications turn too.
Gyrator2

Haven't ried GSen, thought gyrator works perfectly with opera and other applications
I know that.
The thing is Opera should work properli in both modes without any 3rd party apps. Mine is not. And I would be happy if there is a solution for me

So many threads here..... sometimes is hard tyo fing the right one
Hi Folks,
I have a Touch Diamond 2 and having problems with software running in 640x480 mode (like ScummVM). I know there are workarounds, but I thought it would be nicer to use the leftover space. As there are no buttons for quicksave, or something like that, I would like to make a 160pixel software button application. I made some tests already. But now I don't know how to load ScummVM (for examlpe) in my application. If i start it from my application, it hides my keyboard. Or do you have an other idea?
THX in advance
