what have I done? - Palm Treo Pro

Hi everyone. Noobie here!
When I scroll through the menus on my Treo Pro, to go up and down I have to press left and right on the centre ring button.
Is there anywhere in the menus where I can reset this as it's driving me mad!!
Thanks
Rick

D-Pad: Go up and down, have to push left or right!!!

I'd love to know if you found a solution for this, as mine started this S*** about a month ago and I have NOT found a solution on my Treo Pro. HELP!

I've had the same thing happen to mine when i tries SPB MS3. I pressed the rotate screen button in the software, and the screen did not change...But the cursor buttons did.
What software have you run?

Maybe you can find the setting of buttons on System or Option? Usually the buttons setting is in the System or Option like my ZorroGPS.

Somehow, you have changed your screen orientation to landscape. search for an app to change from landscape. i had this issue and i dont remember where i found the app. last alternative is a hard rest.

Change registry entry HKLM/system/GDI/Rotation/Angle from whatever it is (in my case 270) to 0
Worked for me.

change JogWheel behavior

Hello,
Just got my TyTn and got a question.
If i got a long email (about 34k just plane text) this is a lot of text.
With my tytn and the jogwheel it is possible to scroll down a page (or scroll up a page of course)
I was wondering, is there a way to make this shorter, so that the jogwheel doesnt schroll a complete page, but a half a page or maybe just 3 lines.
When i read a complete page the backight of my tytn turns dark.
Reminder: i do not want to change the settings in backlight! this is exactly the way i want it, but when i scroll more often the backlight stay on.
Please help
I hope it is possible.
Paul

Been playing around with my new TyTn also. I'm about to install all the software I had on my Wizard, when I was using my Wizard, Tweaks2k2 had an option for smooth scrolling, I'll see if it will change anything.

Make sure you turn off the volume adjustments that are assigned by default to Button #4075. After doing this my buttons function normally allowing me to call the start menu from the side button and the volume calls are eliminated.

I use the latest AEBPlus. If you use the add button function you can add the OK buttons and retain the start menu actuation via the side OK button while making those buttons actually close applications.

Hmmm, strange. i can't seem to find that option under options. We are talking about options in AEBplus right? Only thing that says volume on it is "restore volume slider". Is this the one I should uncheck all items?
Thanks for helping out dude.

That's the correct name. I was coming from my memory. There are three options in there make sure none are checked.
Thanks for helping out aadadams. Still having problems though. After a while the windows button won't open start menu and neither will ok button on the side of Tytn. Too bad, I really liked the function to be able to really close programs with hardware ok button.
Not entirely related but similar, I was wondering whether it is possible to get the scroll wheel to scroll quickly through the contacts list using the 'big letter' lookup? I know of a couple of people who say the phone has randomly done this for them but they can't figure out how.

I do not have a problem with the side button. When pressed while on the today screen it launches the start menu. How are your buttons mapped? Have you assigned multiple functions to these buttons that fail over time?

Nope, only thing I've done is add button and pressed ok hardware button. Then I mapped it to close active program or whatever the term is.
It shows up as button 4075 I think.
Wierd, I did basically the same thing with that button but I remapped several others to extend their fuunctionality. I have never had that happed. My next question is what other apps are you running especially immature apps that may cause the conflict.
Hmm, not running that much else. Wisbar advance and pocketbreeze. That's about it.
I do not use Wisbar apps and sine it does make changes to native start and ok functions it could be the problem. Run without it for day or so and see what happens.
With only wisbar and no aeb+ everything has been ok, will uninstall wisbar and try only aeb instead.

REQUEST: For a power manager.

Hey all you guys at XDA Developers! There's an awful lot of you that have created some awsome apps! I have usued alots of them, and really enjoyed them. I was hoping that someone would want to take on this project. I'm hoping someone could create an app to have a dual purpose button to take the place of the start button icon in to top left corner. I'd like to be able to push the button once to put the device into sleep mode. The second would be to hold the button down for a second or so for soft reset. I thought on the soft reset a small screen could pop up saying "Do you want to soft reset yes or no?" Also, the button could have a couple of color choices to go with peoples themes. Like "sunny127" made the ariel battery to replace that symbol and not the complete start menu. It would also be nice if both options were on all screens. So if your listening to radio or playing music, you could turn the screen off or if the screen freezes on you, you can soft reset. This is somewhat similar to http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-pocket-device-power-manager-v1-0.html this app. But it does not always go with everyones themes. And really not quite in the right place. Thanks for looking. I hope some one might be up for the task. Thanks for all that you guys have done. T M Z.
No one Maybe
I will pay? Some one to make this app. for me please...
bump...bump...
Not a bad idea, personally what I'd like to see the most would be the restart functionality added to the power button.
Now if you're talking about a button on the screen which can put the system to sleep or implement a restart well, I'm not interested. I've got enough taking up my screen real estate. I do believe I've seen a small app for the sleep side of it though... might google it.
Thanks for the input.
No one at all.
I believe wisbar advance 3 by lakeridgesoftware.com does this. I have my clock mapped to soft reset, ect.

You can use the new FTouchFlo, it enables "corner" buttons. When tapped you can launch a program or do a system command, such as rotate screen, turn off, or whatever you want.

It's now called FTouchSL, it's not free, but it's totally worth it. You can also open apps (or do a command) with a simple swipe. Not to mention you can add smooth finger scrolling to any app with the flick-and-scroll feat.
Thanks. Ill take a look.
get the softreset executable from the PHM tools package (search), place it win \windows and assign it to the PTT key as hold. I prefer to use this for a sleep function, such as when listening to mediaplayer.

Manual Rotation???

Hey Guys,
so while playing around with the diamond config utility, i've noticed theres a registry option to enable "manual screen rotation'
Now, since the gsen app currently doesn't work with the Telus ROM, i would imagine that this registry key would allow you to switch the screen manually.
Is there any button i have to press to manually rotate the screen?
If i am completely mistaken about this option, is there another solution besides the gsen app?
I don't mind pressing a hotkey button to manual rotate for the time being until gsen fixes the app to work with telus as well.
Any ideas? Thanks a million!!!!
I have noticed this tweak about as well and have never understood what exactly does it mean. .......
yeh exactly...
i can understand gsen would allow you to rotate automaticaly, but until they fix it, i wouldn't mind doing it manually for temporary purposes.
i would really love to text in landscape mode!
There has to be a way to assign a key to rotate the screen.
Workaround - Quick Menu!

Install an application called "Quick Menu" -- it's a Start Menu replacement that I've used for a while. Referenced in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340358
You can do four things with H-V toggle:
1. Find it in the Quick Menu menu
2. Set Quick Menu so that holding the Windows icon for a second or two will do an H-V switch (great for apps that aren't fullscreen - i.e. blocking the start menu)
3. Create a shortcut to the H-V switch within Quick Menu, and assign that to the press-and-hold button. Great for fullscreen apps like TomTom!
4. If you use Voice Command software (ex. Microsoft's), you can launch the H-V shortcut that way. For example, "Open Rotate" launches the H-V icon which I've renamed "Rotate".
All these make more sense once you get to know Quick Menu.
great.. thanks for the recommendation but now my phone is messed
first off, it wouldn't stay landscape, it would just resort back to portrait, and now when i closed the program, and rebooted, i don't have my task bar in the top right nemore. it disappeared and i cannot get it back
now what?? hard reset?

nevermind, quick fix ... phew!!!! it was in the task manager settings to turn it back on... oh man that was close!!!!
ok this is cool... i got the manual rotation working by holding the windows key.... this is amazing Thank you sooo much!!!
although one qwerk... I find that i cannot use the menu at all. I've pretty much set it to quick turn to landscape... i click slightly to the right to use my regular start menu. reason being is because if i use it, it removes my task mgr in the top right of my screen and then i have to go and enable it manually within my settings.
So im pretty much just using it for holding the windows logo to change my orientation. other than that it's great!!!!
thanks a million man i appreciate it!
Alternatively if you do not want to use additional software like QuickMenu. this method works well...
1) Change your registry to enable screen rotation:
HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (Change from 1 to 0)
2) Then, simply map your phone button long press to the rotation tweak:
Settings -> Buttons -> Map with <Rotate Screen>
3) When you would like to rotate your screen, just hold your Phone button.

I've done a similar thing but without changing the registry. If you look under screen in advanced config there's the option to have landscape. If you then go into start - settings - system - screen the option to have portrait or landscape is there. you can then go start - personal - buttons and map your screen rotation to whatever key you want.
Here is a cab to enable the rotation if you are not familiar with the registry.

Your changing the registry with advanced config aren't you? Either way works no doubt. More than one way to skin a cat.
A Little application - Trotate
I wrote a little program which will rotate screen following a Finger Swipe.
Originally written for Touch(Elf) program appear to work OK on Diamond.
I have found that when selecting Home Screen that the Diamond will return to normal Screen orientation after a brief pause, or you can return to original orientation by re-running application.
Enjoy....
The best program that I have found for rotating the screen to landscape and back is WkTask, it does heaps more as well but for rotating, it is so easy, you just put the stylus on the close button and slide down and the screen will rotate and repeat and it rotates back to portrait.

Slick! That'll do the trick too!
Re: QuickMenu -- it has its own Running Programs list, and the author decided his app should no conflict with HTC's and auto-disables HTC's. It's weird, but I got used to it.

anyone have problems with the clock in the topright corner, mines gone and half the signal strength meter is covered by a blank
Oh man, thanks a bunch for the info guys!!! so i already had the enable landscape mode in the registry but never knew how to activate it. I just went into my buttons menu and saw the "rotate" screen option by holding the send key! it works great!!!!
no need for any 3rd party appps.
thanks for all the recommendations guys, this method will work wonderfully until the gsen app works for the telus diamond!
thank you once again guys!
ok guys i'm having a problem
i'm using the method of holding send key to manual rotate.
it works working fine when i tried it out, now while im trying to type a text message, it resorts back to the portrait mode, and exits back to the homescreen.
any ideas why?
Hey mightymike84, did you fix this issue or stillcausing headaches for you. I am also on telus and was wondering about the reults before I make a change to the reistry setting. Also I do use the send key for the voice command option, any other way to use say one of the other keys. Thanks.
I am new to the WM world (long time user of the palm treos) so sorry for the noob questions
Hi guys im interested in this manual rotate, but i have no buttons in the button settings to assign manual rotate to (MDA Compact IV) nor can i figure out how to create a short cut in "Quick Menu".
Could some please explain how to get a H-V Rotate shortcut working please?
Hi,
see this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428759
The .exe file someone gave me works fine !!!
I put it in the star menu, so i can rotate the programs if they aren't in full screen mode... Like the others the home TF3D comes back to normal after.
Ciao

Switching between portrait <-> landscape

Hi forum
Where can i manually switch between portrait and landscape mode? In WinMobile 2002 there was an icon on the bottom bar that did rotate the screen by 90 degrees. But i don't see it anymore. I don't want to pull out the qwerty keyboard everytime i want to switch to landscape mode. Tanks in advance.
Setting - System - Screen
You are able to assign the screen rotation to a hardware key. So it is only one click to rotate the screen

But this works only for the left and right softkey..if i need thoose i cant rotate, right?

Use AEBPlus - as far as im aware it is freeware. When I used it I found that it had a very low memory footprint and didnt slow windows down at all (in comparison with say Voice Command). AEBPlus enables you to assign anything to any button, including different states of button press (ie short press, long press, double press). For example I used the camera button half push (which normally controls auto focus) for rotating the screen. If you dont wanna loose your softkeys you could could have single press as softkey, double press as rotate screen have fun!
the problem is that Aeb turns the screen full 360 degrees in 4 steps (starting in the wrong direction)..while the native experia rotate only does the 2 settings you get when you slide it open..which i like more
how assign rotation (Setting-system-screen) to a leftkey
Did you ever get an answer to this? I too would like to know how to assign the landscape/portrait switch to a soft key.
Thanks,
Ian

Softkeys are the two silver looking buttons below the screen.
Too change, go to Start > Settings > Buttons > Select either "Left key" or "Right key" and assign "<Rotate Screen>" via the dropdown menu below.

If you go to Options -> Screen Orientation and select only 0 and 270 degrees, it will work like you want.

I'm pretty sure softkeys are the functions shown on the bottom of the screen. The two silver buttons are called left and right button usually I guess.
Often those keys will press the corresponding softkey, but they can be programmed to do other things with software like AEB+.
My bad, I meant left/right key. I do know the difference, I just had not had my coffee yet. thanks for the info!

Having trouble assigning buttons!!

Hi all, uhm I'm having a little problem with my X1.
I can't assign any buttons anymore in settings -> Buttons
I can actually ASSIGN the left key or right key, but it will reset back to old settings when I do that. Now I have assigned:
Left key: turn screen
right key: today screen
And I also now see 4 options named ''knop'' (Buttons), but I think they didn't used to be there in the first place.
Anyway, whenever I change the right or left key (mostly the right key because I'm very happy with the turn screen assigning) to another option. And press 'ok', the button will(!) get that new option. But whenever I restart the device (or I guess even when time will last) the right button will reset to the 'today-screen' setting.
I don't know how all this could have happen, but I think I installed something wrong. I did install TF3D hd (manilla) as a panel. And after that more programs, I guess somewhere in that time this button assignment setting got cracked up :S
Is there anyway to get rid of the 4 ''knoppen'' (buttons) and be able to change the left and right key properly again?
Regards and many thanks to the one(s) being able to help me!
It's the Touch Flo software which restores the softkeys, a search would have solved this for you.
Thanks for your reply.
So you're saying that if I uninstall Touchflo3D from my X1, I will get my normal settings back without difficulties?
Regards
