Vista Screen Rotation - Again - Shift General

there are several threads addressing screen rotation under Vista but as far as I can tell, nobody has actually gotten the screen to rotate to primary portrait mode. Do the latest Intel drivers for Vista actually support primary portrait/primary landscape rotation, or is this still an issue?

Not as of yet as far as i know.

irotate
there is a program that i used once in XP that rotates the screen i dont know if it will work in vista and i cant try it since my shift its on the way but its worth the try
programs is called irotate.
best regards.

As one of the youngsters around here would say, "That sucks". Thanks for trying...

Forgive me for this question, but does anyone know if the Gyrator 2 app for the Touch Diamond/Pro aka Fuze work on the WM side of the Shift?

Now, irotate 1.37 can work on vista..

work in windos 7 but no driver support for rotation .. so just making a sound "ting"

Can you confirm that irotate 1.37 works on Vista, I just can't get mine to go.

Screen Rotation in Vista?

I was wondering if there was a way to rotate the screen 90 degrees while in vista. If it could be rotated that woul be asier to use it as slate with touchscreen/pen input.
I tried looking thru the display setting and the intel graphic software but no luck.
The screen orientation settiings are in Control Panel, Tablet PC settings, Display tab. However in this case it only offers Primary Landscape.
Screen rotation controls should also be in the Windows Mobility Center in control panel, but are missing. Looks like HTC deliberately removed the option.
You could try this -

thanks for the idea.. I gave it try but the software crashes when you try rotate the screen. I will have to keep looking.
G-sensor
So Why is in device manager G-SENSOR ?
I think is it Gravity sensor determining rotation of screen.
Then should be able automatic rotate screen.
As is it on some digital photo cameras......
The G sensor is for the HDD I believe.

Yes, I heard that "somewhere"
So... Nothing to do with G-spot?
My wife doesn´t realy like my device, but if it has got a G-spot-sensor.....

Ah, now you know why I gave it such a positive review . But isn't that why it comes with Shag Control?

you can also probably get just the scrolling working. dont know if it wouldnt require a mod of the touch.dll though. its like other said. better use the alternatives.

Hi, Can you help me understand please. SPB Mobile Shell, you say works on the Shift...has it been specially written for the Shift, or are you saying any PPC software, will work equally as well on the Shift? I thought the software had to address the different screen sizes of various devices..no?
Thanks in advance.
BTW...I onw a Shift, so i'm dying to know this.

you must try to install different programs, due to the poor memory of the wm side i did not try to install many programs.
opera works fine like on my kaiser, office too, some little game and sprite backup, spbackup, profimail also works well like on the kaiser. others i don't know.
try and try..

the shift has a larger screen but the software does not have to be rewritten for smaller or larger screens.

Hi and thanks for the offer. I've tried to install Advanced Brain Trainer 2, but in refuses to run on my Shift. Is there somewhere online that shows compatible programs that will run OK on this device?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

GSen (SKKV Software)

Anyone tried this app on the athena? (as it also has an accelerometer) If so does it work?
http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_util.html#gsen
Would be brilliant if it works but my hopes aren't high as I couldn't find anything on the topic.

looks like a nice tool, but after I installed on my Ameo I tried to use GSen Version 1.40.
But a window popup with following message :
cannot connect to GSensor (1)
mhh, doesn't run on Ameo ... and delete it ...
Ameo, t-mobile ROM version 6
btw: I've now asked the developer why GSen is not running on Ameo ... hope I get an answer..
Accelerometer
Hey,
I've installed it on my HTC Advantage X7510 with WM6.! Professional, and I can confirm that it works.
When I'm in the today screen and I turn the PDA it does turn in Landscape and Portrait mode with no problem great at last it works.
Thanks for the link if anybody what's me to try anything please let me known.
Thanks
Gigino
I am happy for you gigino, but I am in the same boat as palmchen (have a X7500 with t-mobile WM6 ROM).
Perhaps the interface to the sensor is slightly different between WM6 and 6.1
I am sure it can't be that difficult to access it from WM6. Hopefully the developer will be able to implement it or give some clue which will assist some brainbox from this community in hacking this version to get working with WM6. In my eyes this is one of those killer apps.
I tried this on wm6.1, and had the same error message.
IMO the answer is simple: it works using HTC VUEFLO .dll. X7510 has those dll, x7500 doesn't!
In AP4 or AP5 it will work

mhh, simple question?
could you please provide the new vueflo.dll for the old devices ?
If it only a dll to change that should be not a problem, or ?
btw: I've asked the developer, but he told me that he is to busy and have no time in the moment to update this programm.
Thanks for this. It is a great find. Works well with my X7510.
This is a must have application for the X7510. It is just amazing.

For some it is a must have. For others, it is an annoyance and irritation.
only because we can't get it working!
Sorry guys, we doesn´t have these devices for testing.
We just was surprised about the info, our tool is working on HTC Advantage X7510.
Also we not know the reason why it is not working on HTC Advantage X7500.
Possible reasons:
- missing/different software driver
- different ROM/ACU version
- missing needed hardware
As i said, we cannot test because of missing hardware.

Not because of that. It was working all right.
I hated this auto rotate thing because 9 out of times the rotate happens against my wish, and it slows my device.
After the initial few minutes of novelty, I was already wanting to switch it off.

Thanks for the info, but I still far prefer assigning rotate screen to a hardware button and just press that when I want to rotate.

No, I don't, there are SOME dll, you can find it in the AP4 / AP5 ROM. I agree, the rotation is too slow and the screen rotation is useless and time consuming 90% of time. My brain is much faster in image rotation and my finger is slower than brain but acts only when needed

I would wish it will go faster and will run on my device (german tmobile WM6) ..

Screen rotation is fast on mine. Might be ROM or today screen related in yours.
The speed you can change in settings: #timeout(value) - default value 1000 ms

X7500 (Ameo) with AP4 or AP5
I have tried it, but still I get the message that the gsensor cannot be found.
Edit:
Oeps it just start working. I noticed the veuflo was disabled.
can anyone post those .dll files, so others can use them? thanks

Driver for Monitor and Device Manager print screen

Hello all,
I would like to solve the BSOD issue with aero enabled in 1024 with Windows 7. I need your help... I'm looking for a print screen of a vista device with working 1024 + AERO .. I want to see both the Display adapters and Monitor sections in the Device Manager (click on the arrow to extend it please).
I would also like to know the driver version used by Vista.
I would appreciate to get screenshots of Driver Details too (in Driver tab of the properties).
Thank you very much .. I hope we will be able to fix it !
nobody still using Vista ? I can't believe that there are users that always are the first to say that there are issues... but when it comes to take a screenshot they all disappear...
is it that hard to go to device manager and take a print screen of the monitor and display section?
I would do it, but there's no print screen button on shift keyboard...

Thank you !

Hello, I have find with using google Autorotate-1.2-beta2.cab. This works good for now.
Check the forums posted at Modaco, you will find specific tricks to make auto rotation work on all of your applications.
