Hi all, has anyone tried or even know if there is an app or a setting that would auto rotate the screen orientation on the xv6900? just crious because its a pain to text or write email in portait and yeah i do know i can switch it to landscape but then its a pain to keep clicking the button to get it back to portrait.. any suggestions will be helpful and greatly appreciated.
I have my Vogue setup so when I press the camera button it rotates the screen. The Vogue does not have an accerometer so there is no sensor for auto-rotation.
If you would like to set your Vogue like mine just go from the start menu to settings/personal/buttons and select the camera button(button 2 I believe) to rotate the screen with a short press and activate camera with press and hold.

Hi all,
Ive set a button to rotate the screen, I set it first in either the registry or via Screen in settings to be left handed and all is fine, press the button, portrait, press the button, land scape. But for some reason at random times it will suddenly revert back to right handed mode and I have to set it again in settings.
How can I lock it? I have tried setting it in the registry, I have tried changing it so there is no left or right option just portrait or landscape but it still for no reason will switch to right handed mode and I cant figure it out.
thanks
Seconds after posting this I found out what is changing the rotation back to right handed.
If I start the camera while the main screen is in portrait it then changes the registry to be back to right handed mode. If I start the camera while the main screen is in landscape it keeps my setting when I close the camera.
Any idea how I can lock this or chang the camera to be left handed?
I have assigned the rotate screen function to a hardware button but it rotates the wrong way. It rotates clockwise in stead of counter clock wise.
When I push the button again the screen is rotate back again.
Can somebody tell me how to make the screen rotate counter clockwise when assigned to a hardware button?
Many thanx!

There's an easy way of doing that. Go to Settings > System > Screen and choose "Landscape (left-handed)" then your hardware button will switch between landscape and portraint as you wish.
Thanx
Set the orienation to lefthand worked!

This worked for me with WM5 but doesn't seem to work for WM6. My hardware button will only switch between portrait and right handed landscape. Anyone else having the same problem? Anyone found a solution?
This happens to me too Peon.
I havent worked out a way to fix it and i dont want to install a program just to do it either...
If I want to change the orientation the screen I tap on the orientation button and the screen became landscape but when I extract the keyboard the screen return portrait... so I want that when I replaice the keyboard the screen come back to landscape... is it possible???
ok... no solution...
Why not press the orientation button while the keypad is still out?
because I don't want to tap the orientation everytime...
set a hw button to rotate the screen, works fine with pcmkeyboard

The device was designed to work on portrait.. so it will insist on going portrait.
You may ask vjay555 on this forum to write you a simple program that will force your device to stay on landscape. A very good developer.. he makes simple tools like that. He's a mod here.
File name for Execute Rotate Screen ???
Ussually I use from HTC Home, but I will assign at Left Softkey with program that can rotate the screen. I don't know the file name??? Is It in Windows Directory???
Thanks for sharing
The other day i was just watching some reviews and videos of nokia 5800 and in one video i saw the functionality of the phone...a guy was writing a SMS and there he showed that he can manually enter into landscape mode and portrait mode as per need to write the message
So i just wondered that if same kind of manual rotation of screen via some menu or some bind key can be done in HTC Diamond.
I know there are anuto rotation apps like gyrator and gsen but with there own limitations also i guess not everyone wants to rotate the screen every now and then automatically
I request someone to please take interest and come up with ideas

hi, have a look at start/ personal buttons and 2.assign program, scroll here and see if you have the option to rotate screen, if not i think you can add the option via diamond tf3d config or last option is via a manual registry edit by going to HKLM/system/ gdi/ rotation. hideoreientationgui change value from 1 to 0. this means that manual screen rotation can be performed by pressing and holding the call button on all apps apart from tf3d .
I have tried Gyrater2 and have yet to figure out how to configure it or find a decent faq for it despite clicking all over his page. I second the motion. I want my screen to rotate where it already does with the OEM setup AND whenever I open the full querty and nowhere else.
install "AE Button Plus" so can you assaign for exampel if you hold long "volume down" so screen can rotate clockwise or just rotate. works nice for me
I hate auto rotate on my Evo4g. Is there any app out there or way to make a gesture rotate the screen? I know there are tons of apps that will put a auto rotate toggle widget on the screen, but I have to hit that before I go into a program I would like to rotate, and the back off again when i am done with that program. Does anyone know of anything that will allow me to manually rotate the screen while in an application? I like how I could just hold down a button for a few seconds on my old windows phone and it would rotate the screen. It seems simple enough, but I can't find anything. It would be nice to hold the menu button on the evo down for a few seconds and have that rotate the screen....
