Auto-Rotate is annoying me.

How can Turn off the autorotate feature? Im Running JFv1.41. I did a search and can only find threads on other phones, I searched under G1, and only learned how to ENABLE it.
Thanks

open the app "droidsans tweak tools" and there's a button to disable auto-rotate.

I don't see that app... What am I missing?
I know im not crazy. Just a n00b

Are you talking about auto-rotate in the browser or for the home screen?
If it's the browser, you can disable it the browser settings. If it's the home screen, you need to search the market for DroidSans Tweak tools and disable it there.
At some point, you must have un-installed DST if your home screen is auto-rotating.

I bet thats what it is. The guy I bought the phone from did a wipe, and all the apps were lost, but the firmware was still on there.

You guys kick ass. Thanks for your patience. Ive had alot of questions since just yesterday and you guys always help within 5 minutes!
It worked like a charm. I love this community!

i agree...this forum rocks. i'm not very tech savvy, but i was able to root my G1, have apps installed to the SD card, etc, etc...all because of the kick-ass members of XDA.
and before the G1, this community helped me get WM6.1 on my dash.

xda is full of g1 jedis(im not one) they have helped me alot as well..so thanks guys

Is anyone else getting error messages when waking the phone back up? I would occasionally (1 out of 20 times) get an "application 'so-and-so' has stopped responding" and tapping "wait" would continue through the error like nothing else was wrong. As soon as I shut auto-rotate off, those errors went away. It was always a different program, too.

Happens to me every now and then, not as often though, may be once out of 50 times. See what program it is, if it's one from the market then you can remove it ( I would, I don't need anything on my phone that doesn't run correctly or hogs my precious memory). If it's stock... well.. you're SOL, just wait for Android to implement some better way of managing memory.
Good luck

I've noticed on occasion I also get it with auto-rotate disabled, but not nearly as often. Maybe a couple times so far since I've gotten my replacement last week.
When it would hang, it was pretty much any random process. One time it was Alarm, other times something else, never a particular process. I think it has to do with the phone sleeping and maybe the accelerometer is oriented one way and it wakes up for an event in another position and then hangs - I don't know. It was never really a problem and I don't think the hung processes were wasting battery so I'll just reenable it.

This thing hangs more than a....well something that hangs about 4 or 5 times a day...

Seriously unimpressed so far.
This thing has hung 5 or 6 times at least today (day 3....) and about the same yesterday
If this keeps up, I'm binning it and reverting to HD
Unbelievable!

What did you do ? Any pattern ?

Not much info there, my pictures hang up... on the wall everyday.
What are you doing? What have you been doing? Is it due to memory being full (as apps aren't closing)

Maybe I'm not hip to the slang but what do you mean it "hangs" or "hung"?

You must have a duff unit!
Well mine has been completely spot on!
Maybe its something you have installed causing issues? Try uninstalling things one by one to see if that rectifies any problems you may have.

"Hangs" means "crashes" or, more precisely "becomes completely and permanently unresponsive to anything less than a soft reset".

Possibly - and yeah, I know, that's next port of call TBH - it's just really pissing me off at the moment - NONE of my other HTC devices have ever behaved like this.
Just for the record, I've figured out exactly WHAT makes it hang - I open file explorer and navigate to the 'Windows' folder - bang....I get the rotating four colours and it's back off/battery out AGAIN
Thus far I've only installed Kinomaplay (which ISN'T behaving as it should IMO....although it performs it's media functions perfectly)
Coreplayer - which works ok
SPB Time - again, works 'ok' (both are really f..king fiddly to use/setup with this screen - which is ANOTHER thing I'm not impressed with at all - I've had an iPhone in the past - [capacative] screen response was perfect - this one?? have to jab at it several times sometimes to get the desired result and accuracy just isn't good for smaller targets)
One thing I have noticed is - I've only installed those 3 programs but almost all the device memory is used up!?? Unsure if that would cause an issue with it hanging and I've had loads more than this installed onto mt HD and was nowhere near the device memory limitations.
Hmmm....

I really would consider that you may have a duff unit. There are loads of peoeple on here who advise the screen is too responsive! Plus the lack of memory sounds like the biggest issue.
When you navigate to the windows folder, do you actually let it load or do you just leave it? Reason I ask is that there are thousands of files in there and it does take a while to read them. It did on my HD anyway.
Seems like when reg edits have been done to get task manager working how we are all used to it, should be working better.
Oh, software is made for resistive screens so some presses wont register as the software is more than likely looking for a more presice tap rather than a finer splodged over the actual area its looking for a response in. Should be fine later down the line when more things are brought to capacitive screens.
Hope it all works out for ya

That is true - the menus are a little small for finger use - so it will be a case of waiting I guess.
I removed all the progs that I'd installed already (includng 'microsoft my phone' - forgot about that one)
Screen is very responsive most of the time - but then sometimes it just seems to space out- almost like you catch it off guard - not what I'd expect frankly
It does eventually load the windows folder in explorer - but it takes about 2 1/2 mins to do so - no other folder does that to it, nor any other action - and it wasn't doing that up until yesterday
Hard reset next [if i can figure out how...] - if that doesn't yield significant improvement then it's back to TCR for an exchange (provided some more units have turned up by now!!)
Cheers though

Definitely a problem there, my windows folder loads instantly.

+1 ...... Mine loads in a split second

My phone doesnt hangs, but my /windows folder takes about 1/2 minutes in load.

No problems here either. One recommendation though for those with slow file list loading: try to enable and up the caches (which are stock) with Advanced Config. You will gain some more speed!

Hard reset and we're back to full speed again - I guess it was one of the programs that was screwing it up - thanks all for the 'benchmark'
I'm a bit suspicious that it was kinomaplay, as that was [occasionally]interfering with other operations by overlaying itself on top at times and was hard to get out of that loop as the 'X' [close] box wasn't always *really* there (only shown on screen but no actual function)
I might try it[kinomaplay] again - only this time try and figure out why it associates itself with image files that I'd rather the OE windows prog opened.
Thanks for the tip on Adv.Config Tnyynt - TBH I'd not tried to load that one yet, I'll try that in a sec though (it was a godsend on the HD)
There was definitely something funny going on with the memory space on the device, as after the hard reset I'm back up to '116MB free of 181MB' - whereas, even once I'd uninstalled all that had been added - and deleted additional ringtone wavs - I only managed to get a max. of 53MB available showing.

Sounds like Kinomaplay is searching and associating with files in the background. I think it may be set to do that by default but you can tell it not to in the settings - only trouble is you may have to wait for it to do it's thing as not sure if you can interrupt it. I got so fed up with the programme on the HD I trashed it - lovely interface though

Strange thing with Windows folder loading, with the "normal" Explorer it takes my device a very long time too (first few times did a soft reset because i thought it was hung also), but with Total Commander explorer the Windows folder is there instantly, sounds like Explorer runs into something, just have to figure out what though.
Crazy . . . . . . . . . . .

Mine takes just a split second to load windows folder!
But it crashes 2 - 3 times a day! Without doing nothing! When i try to unlock it, screen wont go on! Battery off, here we go again! And i got the no sound problem.. After 3-5 calls, i car hear what others are saying but they cant hear a word from me!! This is happening all time.. (tested all this even with stock rom and no apps installed or any tweak etc..)
I read here in the forums that other people have similar problems..And in italy the distribution stopped because of defected rom??
Some say it heppened in france too.. (allthough i live in greece, i got mine sent from france, expansys headquarters..)
So maybe its roms problem? Or just me having a possible defected device..?
Any of you with freezing problems etc..??

Some hangs and freezes in here too, latest was this morning when I had my phone plugged in the charged over night. I tried waking up the phone to check time so I press the power button: Button lights go on but no image on screen, had to take out battery and restart the phone.
Also I have had a few random hangs that required a soft reset too. I have installed the Electopia demo and the OpenGL speed tester. Also installed .net compact framework 3.5 because an app from marketplace said to require it.
I hope HTC takes care of this issues in an upcoming rom update! Otherwise the phone seems fine, although maybe a bit slower that I've seen in the pre-production reviews and videos which is odd...

I noticed that the hangs have something to do with the charging of the phone,no matter if its via usb or power pluged. Thanks for confirming though.. This is MAJOR issue for me..You think that your phone is ok in your pockets but it is shut down!!
About the sound problem i mentioned before?

Knock on wood my HD2 is rocksolid for now! Everything is fast and stable!

Seriously preformance issues

Hi.
I have to soft reset my HD2 all the time because it often lags too much.
I will now list the things which makes me wanna reset my device:
- The HD2 lags so badly, that most actions take up to 5 seconds.
- One application can crash (mostly HTC_Messaging), and I have to soft reset.
- When I write messages, the keyboard has a input lag of 5-10 seconds.
- Screen wont turn on when I push the buttons
- The device wont unlock when I slide the slider, it just stops up.
Now this happens each time I upgrade my ROM, and I am currently using Artemis now.
The programs I've installed each time is:
- FingerKeyboard
- Touch X reset and wifi
- Touch X button icon in messaging
and now I use WMLongLife also.
My SD-card is an 8GB card.
So if someone could help me, I would be happy.
(Sorry for bad english.)

Start again. Install nothing and just configure settings.
Does it run slow and crash then?
If so you have problem that could be harware.
Try another ROM and if the same then I think you need to return the unit.
If all runs fine on a clean, vanilla phone then you are doing something in the install process that is causing the instability.
Try installs one by one to the phone mem and check operation each time.
NB. Some background info would have been helpful. ROM version, Model etc!

The problem is that I can't predict when its gonna happen. It can happen randomly, and then I have to restart the phone. After the restart, everything works normal and perfect.
This can happen upto three times a day, some days it wont happen at all.
Currently using 2.10.531.7 Artemis, but this also happens with the stock ROM. The newest one that is. My radio version is 2.06.51.07
Its kinda difficult to run things vanilla phone, cause the applications I use, I need.

for me htc messaging has never crashed...
i suggest you to flash a stock rom, 1.66 for example and try it without the sent button.
if there are still problems, u can try using mtty or send it back for repair...
edit: i had the problem where the phone was freezing while loading for a long time (over night), and the display won´t turn on. Switched back to manually update Facebook, Twitter and Weather, and had no more problems since...

Well I think its crashing.
That's what I usually use when I lock the screen. So sometimes when I try to unlock it, I just get half of the messaging program or nothing, on screen. And I cant do anything.
When I try to click the Home-button, it respons in some seconds and Home-screen is all laggy.

When you lock the phone apps still run in the back ground as if asleep and when you unlock they attempt to restore themselves as they were before the lock.
You have something clashing installed and that is calling the registry at the same time as something else. Remember when windows full size used to do it?.
I think you have a badly written piece of software installed (either preloaded or installed by yourself) and suggesting starting from vanilla is a way to issolate it!

i've also had similar problems as you. after hard reseting a couple of times, i noticed that the intermittent lag began after i started syncing my phone to my PC and myphone. it turns out that my terrible management of appointments, messages and contacts was the root of my problem (several duplicates of everything, and almost 5000 text messages). i suggest you attempt to work your phone a couple days without loading up any PIM information, archive messages and remove duplicates (sktools is excellent at doing this)
i suggest you do something similar, it really helps. i was able to get my device to prrform as well as when i still had the vanilla ROM
best of luck! your device is better than you think!

Also, use the Task Manager, and close applications that you don't use, especially the Internet browser and applications that use data connection. These ones can really block the phone when connection is intermittent.

Yet again, I'm left dumbfounded by claims of "serious" issues with this device. I just don't understand how almost everyone has a "story" regarding the HTC HD2 being SLOW or LAGGY. Fortunately for me, I haven't soft reset my unit in 46h 5m 19s and everything is still running flawlessly.

your phone sounds faulty or something. for me.. even with the Stock 1.66 ROM i had, it was working pretty fast n smooth. now with Dutty's ROM, its faster n smoother than ever. i love this beast

I never have these problem! I used Official or Clean EX HQ roms and never got these problem!
Try a Task 29 and flash with 1.66 Official or Most popular Cook ROM

Pa49: I have only installed the programs which I have listed in the first post. I guess im not the only one using them.
Kev007: I usually have a lot of textmessages when I dont delet them, but thats max 2000. I dont sync my phone with my computer, so no uneccessary contacts or something either. Dont even use calendar, so have no appointments.
Reignzone: It is really bad. It can happen upto three times a day, and I just cant use the phone at all. Just sliding the home-screen to see all my shortcuts takes maybe 10 seconds. I could film it with a camcorder next time it happens so people could see.
The same thing happens each time I've installed a ROM. So it has clearly something to do with the phone and not with the software I've installed.

I get lags too when twitter is updating in the background. You would think a 1ghz processor could do two things at once

Backup your miscrosd. Try a microsd format. Restore your data. See if this helps.

T-Mo US HD2, still completely stock. I was having some issues with sluggish animations, applied many of the tweaks in the sticky threads here, things got better. However, it was super super slow to switch into some applications (SMS *always*, others occasionally).
Eventually I wondered about that fancy Swype keyboard and tried switching back to the full qwerty. All that disappeared and it moves like lightning now, I have to say.
I haven't played with updating Swype or maybe at least loading a ROM without it that I can do a regular install on top of. However, right now I don't miss it .

Lag issues
I have no idea what is causing your issues, but if it travels from one rom to the next, it may be your sd card.
I had an issue with lag in swype and other apps.
I noticed when I popped out the sd card the device instantly unfroze.
I then copied all files except App data and reformatted the sd.
No issues after that.
Hope this helps.

Any fix for keyboard missing keypresses?

Even when typing at normal medium speed I find the keyboard will completely ignore/miss a letter or two at fairly regular intervals. I've tried editing the registry to lower the initial delay value down all the way to 1ms, but the issue still occurs. Is there a known cause/fix for this? Thanks...

try either of the last two cabs found here

Thanks.. I took a look and the issue I'm having seems to be a bit different from what those cabs address. Rather than oversensitivity or extra unintended keypresses, my screen/keyboard will semi-frequently (every 20th word or so) just momentarily become unresponsive and completely miss about two letters of keyboard input.
It's like the keyboard just locks up for about half a second and doesn't even display the little popup letters over the keys at all, and when it un-freezes it doesn't "catch up" or realize that two more letters were typed in the meantime. so if you were trying to type the word "keyboard" you would very likely end up with something like "keoard" as the two missing letters are just skipped completely.
Normally the sensitivity of keyboard and touchscreen in general is very very good and I only have to touch very lightly to get a response. 19 times out of 20 this is the case with typing on the keyboard no problem. Just every here and there semi-regularly a couple of letters will invariably get skipped, again without even displaying the popup boxes over the keys, and I'm not even typing particularly quickly either.
Are there any cabs for this issue..?

Just following up to my thread here from almost a year ago. I've tried multiple roms from XDA, as well as registry tweaks and fixes, and still cannot solve the problem. Does anyone NOT experience this problem, ever..? If you don't, could you please tell which ROM you're using, and what (if any) registry edits you've used?
It is completely impossible for me to type any medium-length sentence on my HD2 without at least a couple of letters/keystrokes being missed and ignored entirely. Every time. I'm willing to try anything but I desperatelty need help, as this one glitch renders an amazing high-end smartphone totally unusable for me...

What ROM are you using now? I am running the T-Mobile 3.14 ROM and I have similar priblem with my keyboard but not near as bad as you say you do. I have not tried tbe reviztry tweek hou mentioned previously in this thread.

Currently I have Dutty's ROM installed but I've tried multiple other ones including Energy, Elegancia, Laurentius etc, and the problem is always there, so I don't think it's the fault of any of the ROMs. Either I just have a bad unit, or all HD2's do this to some extent and the vast majority of owners just consider it an acceptable quirk and don't bother complaining about it.
The touchscreen on my HD2 is extremely responsive and fast in all other scenarios, and even when typing most of the time, so I dont think it's defective per se. It just seems that with a good degree of regularity the phone/OS decides to completely "pause/freeze" for a half second or so before resuming normal operation. So brief an instant that it isn't noticeable under any other cirumstances except typing on the keyboard, where it's long enough to eat up anywhere between 1-3 keystrokes depending on entry speed.
It's really a shame, because the Leo is in many ways the most powerful, super awesome smartphone I've ever used, but because of this one utterly intolerable bug it sits on my shelf totally unused, currently in favour of my Sony Ericsson Aspen which is far less powerful, but at least reliably useable for typing.
I'd be willing to buy another HD2 if I really thought it was my specific unit that was responsibe, but right now I have no dependable way of knowing that.

Have you tried other keyboard applications?

I found this cab in my sd card.
I remember it worked in my Topaz.
Give it a try.

I will give the cab a shot tonight when I am back at home, thanks. I have indeed tried alternate keyboards such as Resco and a few others, with no change or improvement, so I don't think it's the HTC IME keyboard specifically at fault either. My guess is that the whole screen is becoming unresponsive for that half second or so, not only the keyboard. It's just that it's only noticeable/irritating enough to be an issue when typing, because I have to constantly stop and go back to re-enter letters that were ignored along the way. It's a real dealbreaker for me on an otherwise outstanding device.
Do I take it correctly that you yourself never, ever encounter this issue when typing on your own HD2? Again for the record, it's not a matter of my typing too lightning fast for the Leo to keep up with. Even typing at moderate/regular speed (2-3 letters per second) the missed key issue occurs regularly.

I tried the cab but no luck unfortunately... I really wish I knew whether it was a problem with my specific unit or a model-wide issue that just doesn't get mentioned that often.

Is there anyone reading this, who has an HD2, and does NOT ever encounter this issue of typed letters/keystrokes being missed? Is there anyone out there who can say that their HD2 catches every keypress, every time without fail?
If this is true and applies to you, please respond and let me know! If there are units out there that are totally free of this problem, then I will not give up hope, and will try to replace mine. But I need at least a confirmation or two that some human on the planet somewhere has an HD2 that does not experience this problem...!

[Q] Periodically "Laggy" screen, can't use long-press. HW or SW?

Anyone else expiriencing this problem? For me it goes like this:
At random times the screen gets sluggish in the transitions, and stay this way for quite a while. While this is going on, I can't long-press anything, because of the "lag" the screen doesn't register long-press, but single-press. Meaning there's a bunch of features I can't use..!
It doesn't just regard the GOlauncher stuff, but all of it, like f.ex the lock-screen - if i try yo drag the slider half-way and hold it there, it won't hold, but snaps back. If I slide quickly, I can unlock the phone, so it seems that the problem is to register touches lasting longer than 1/2 sec. or so..
Is this most likely a HW or SW problem?

I watched your video, and yes I had this problem also. Trying to unlock the phone resulted in it resetting input and being an incorrect pattern. Can you do something for me? Download mutlitouch tester (visualizer) and just hold your fingers on there, normally what it should do is stay solid, but with if your problem is the same as mine. It will blink rapidly. Mine was also periodically, the issue appeared to be with the Email and other email clients based of the stock one (not gmail or k9mail) client, so try removing all accounts on there if any. But the cause behind this was the fact that the garbage collector was running every second and it seemed to free up the memory used by the input driver. If this doesn't work, try a different ROM, like B137, or MIUI (I am using this, its great).
and most of all, let me know how you get on.
Feel free to email at [email protected].

Thanks for your reply ryronz, I'll try the multi-touch-tester next time it acts up, for now it's fixed itself again.
Are you positive it's linked to email-accounts, because I actually did just link up my exchange-account..! Could you explain this about the garbage-collector a little bit closer? Are there any settings in the exchange-account I can change to remedy the problem?

Are you positive it's linked to email-accounts, because I actually did just link up my exchange-account..! Could you explain this about the garbage-collector a little bit closer? Are there any settings in the exchange-account I can change to remedy the problem?

Exchange! Yup, thats when it started happening to me, and no I never found a way to solve the garbage collector thing. Its just something that happens whenever the phone feels it needs to run, there is nothing you can do to make it happen or not happen. I ended up removing the email client and using K9Mail.

Even if I don't like the answer, it's always good getting closer to the problem, so thanks
By the way I actually did an official FW-update from Huawei, and had the same problem both before and after.
So what is this garbage-collection? What kind of garbage are we talking about?

What the garbage collector does is when unused memory is still allocated, it will come and clear it automatically. This should only happen when the memory is used up, or near used up. But in saying that even though it is running all the time, the input driver memory should not be getting garbage collected. So my guess is its another poorly written driving from Huawei.

I have the same problem here. However I have not, up till now, been able to identify what caused the lagging (and battery drainage?).
For testing purposes, I have today deactivated the current exchange account setup, and installed another email client (Touchdown). With the new client running, the lagging was gone.
After that, I have removed Touchdown and reactivated my old account setup.
A search on Google indicates that there might be some issues with Android and the use of Exchange email....
As a new test, I have now changed the sync periode from one hour to 'push'. I found that suggestion somewhere in my search for a solution.
Maybe it is to early to conclude, but as far as I can see after a few hours with the phone mostly in standby, I can spot some improvements with regards to both the lagging and battery drainage.
