Folks,
I only got my baby yesterday, but is anyone else finding this?
For me, the device will only switch to landscape mode for Opera, Photos & Videos, and Teeter. Not in TouchFlow 3D Home or any of its tabs, Mobile Office apps, TomTom 7, ...anything!
I've tried turning off Touchflow 3D and rebooting with no effect and with the G-Sensor there is no manual setting to force landscape.
This makes the keyboard in TomTom tiny and means that the screen isn't that much more usable for Office apps than my venerable old 2.8" TyTn.
Please could someone tell me if it's just my phone that's afflicted or is it a "feature"?
Thanks!

no thats totally normal. and known since the first infos of the HD came out.
If you really want full landscape switching, get Gyrator2 or Gsen. both can be found on this forum
It doesn't help you, JTHM, but I hardly ever use landscape mode in my Touch (Elf) so perhaps the way the Touch HD works is by design for people like me. The only time landscape mode offers any advantage to me is for photos, videos and web browsing. With the mini USB connector at the bottom, my Touch is always in its cradle in portrait orientation and it sits in the car more easily this way too.
I'm surprised there's no manually-activated landscape option in the software though.
(Sorry that this post doesn't really help you but perhaps it illustrates that for some (maybe most?) users the lack of landscape isn't a problem at all and may therefore be by design.)
Hang on, can I clarify.
I like to use my xda2i in landscape with my bluetooth travel keyboard sometimes. Does this mean that i can't just rotate the screen to landscape and use it in landscape mode with my keyboard??

I think that raziel1 has already answered that question? Use Gyrator2 or Gsen both of which can be found in this forum.
It does seem to be missing a trick by not have some software button built in to switch the screen though.
I had one flaw with the HD: The typing. I wanted (like Iphone) to use the keyboard in landscape so i had more room for my fingers. But the HD doesn't do that standard.
I installed Gyrator 2 and set it to switch to landscape when i use my keyboard. In every application, now when I use my keyboard and tilt the device, the screen rotates.
It made my HD even better.
Which is better? Gsen or Gyrator? I know they have other features but I only want an app to rotate landscape and uses minimal memory as I guess it needs to be running on start up.
ok, gyrator is a PROGRAM. I thought it was another handset or something. oh as long as there is soemthing you can do te get the landscape working that's sweet for me. I'm really close to buying one of these beasts!
I'm surprised that TomTom doesn't rotate automatically.
I've sure I've seen screen shots of it in Landscape mode and wouldn't have thought those web site's had installed any other third-party screen orientation software.
Beards.
You can also purchase Resco keyboard. It has large keys that you can use with your fingers. Well that depends how big your fingers are. Best to download a copy of the program, install it and test it out.
And since the screen is 3.8, it should give you plenty of space on top to see your message?

has anyone tried this?
I'd like to see a full landscape keyboard, but can't find any pics/vids if u could try, and post it I'd be most appreciative.
best regards
you can use gsen
look here
has anybody successfully tried gyrator on the hd? i just installed .net compact framework 3.5 and then gyrator, but when I try to start it I get a ObjectDisposedException...

yeah, after another reboot it's working now. tried it in a couple apps and seems fine so far... funny thing is with the streaming video app, when you go to fullscreen it auto rotates the screen, but as soon as you move the hd to landscape position gyrator rotates it again... will need to check out the docs on how to add exceptions.

New opera build extracted from latest (30/12/2008) Omnia ROM:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MH67LC7D
It has the same features (zoom style, scroll window, etc) than previus builds from Omnia ROMs
Enjoy
very nice, i have always considered omnia opera builds some of the best.
any chance you have a link for the rom?
In the line of the 1957 ? Great i'm gonna test it
Played a bit with this version, Flashlite 3 worked after reinstall on memory (i had Opera on SD and this one is on memory)
I can't tell if it is much faster than the build 1957, but it scrolls fast, the zoom is smooth and there is no landscape issues with my kaiser when using the hardware keyboard. I also noticed that it lags less than previous build when scrolling/zooming with flash stuff on the page.
I love it
Darn, didn't fix two of my issues - Stars don't show up on the Google Reader Iphone version (google.com/reader/i) and my phone is still identified as a mobile device for ESPN.com. The mobile version loads automatically and I cannot get the regular version to load, even though in my settings I have it set to identify itself as a desktop computer.
Anyone else run into these issues?
Thanks!
Anyone got a mirror? I can't download this thing from megaupload, very weird!
Just installed this version and now everytime i start my phone is just insists on loading up opera on its own, and if i close it, it will just fire it back up every minute
very annoying!

I tried installing this to my sister's touch and it was saying installation was unsuccessful. the program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions
This Opera version is awesome...
FAST, cool interface... Flash 3 work now...
Zoom bar in right side... no keyboard problem...
wow ! i think one of better Opera build tested for me...
THX for this gift ! happy new year !
Any way to get a SD version please?
I am using the 2520 version from the omnia that is the two file upgrade from the 1957 version. The omnia versions have always been the best.
Thanks
Can one of you guys please try https://secure.k12planet.com in this build. Im still on build 2128 because every build after this one results in the site saying that the browser is incompatible. I need this site to work for school. Thanks.
Edit: If it works, the page will show a login screen. Wait until the page stops loading because on the Opera builds where it doesn't work, it briefly shows the login screen before quickly changing to the browser incompatibility page.
^^^vidman...that site loaded for me on 2520

Guys, calm down...
It isn't a zoom slider like in the other opera versions. There isn't a "zoom" button. This one...tap on the right side of the screen, and slide finger. If you wait too long you get the menu. You will see a vertical zoom bar popup. Much better IMHO since it doesn't have the zoom button covering up the screen.
hello! anyone have problem that when backlight goes off it starts to blink? like one second backlight on and other off? anyidea how fix that?
VGA skin is attached. I did it real quick, there might be a few glitches, I used the basic diamond skin, but this one has all features of the omnia version. so give it a shot. it is better then nothing at least. and it works great on the touch pro.
As above.

Have fun.
already using this in your beta 7 diamond rom. works great! thanks alot!
I am not able to install the cab on my xperia. it tells me that i am using the wrong rom version?
does this support flash plugin?
Is there a QVGA version of this build?
what are the files i need to ugrade my current cooked version. I've upgraded before with two files but i forgot which can someone let me know which files. to put in the opera folder.
OperaL.exe and Opera9.exe
I would also like to have these 2 files only. VGA version please
This version is not that good. It needs very much time to start and the zoom slider is not there.
What do you mean, zoom slider is not there?
Does it have the invisible zoom slider on the right, or the zoom slider that is activated by the button on the left bottom?
Works perfectly on my stock sprint rom on touch diamond, thanks a lot
Can't install on my kaiser, says something like wrong ROM (even though it is qvga, i just wanted to get the exes).
Curious what kind of zoom slider it has?
Does flash work?
Anyone in for making a qvga cab or the seperate exes?

Where is this build extracted from?
Been using it for a while now.
Looks really nice, boots up instantly, pages render perfectly and quickly, text looks great, zooming and panning are flawless.
Amazing build. =]
It starts up very fast after I did a soft reset - starting it immediately after installation yielded a slow startup. However, there isn't a zoom button at the bottom left of the screen, and I don't think there's the "sceret slider" either, like the Omnia.

No zoom button? That's a nightmare.
as i said i'm using a cooked version of opera build 15316, but i do have the zoom in the bottom left. i did notice one thing though, it does not appear on local pages like help and about opera, but is there at www.htc.com. i'm looking at it right now, its there!

I installed it over build 15202, so that might have screwed things up. I actually prefer the "ring" zoom though, so no loss.
anybody got a mirror? thx

Hi,
After you press the icon it autofocusses and then the screen dims white and then you can hear the click. The photo is ok.
If I do this in panoramic mode it seems ok.
Anyone ever had this issue or a fix?
thx
Yep, that's how it works! Think this started from the camera software port from the Topaz or Rhodium devices so I assume you have a custom rom?

Hi PiLoT, you saved my ... nightrest.
Checked out the forum but guess my keywords did not make it.
I wonder why they changed that since it makes it look .. weird and uncomfortable.
IMHO its slighlty fast autofocus
well i seem to get faster autofocus anyway
Yeah, I always felt the new camera software was faster when taking snaps. Not to bothered about the white screen personally.
Hi, I have a HTC Touch Hd with rom Axlor V.7 and windows 6.5. I have not a zoom on the camera ! Is it possible to active the function ? Thanks
Hey mate,
I dont seem to have the option to zoom as well and im on
NRGZ28's B[WWE|GER|FRA|ITA|NLD]|Mar 15| Energy™-.¸¸.·´¯6.5|21916/ 6.5.X|29017 * Sense 2021 rom
so maybe its not possible or just has never been cooked into a rom.
to quote myself here:
Chef_Tony said:
camera zoom is redundant. it is just digital zoom, meaning the picture gets bigger by reducing its resolution. if you take a full picture and zoom in while looking at it in album, it is the same effect, or you could use the pc and cut away borders, that doesn't make the picture better or bigger, it actually gets smaller, which is why that is a feature that nobody really needs.

but if you absolutely can't live without the feature, install the cab from the attachment, i found it here on the forum, searching for "camera zoom". but this is not only a small app to enable the zoom, it replaces the camera completely with the stock one, so in case your current camera app comes with advanced features like facebook uploading, it will be gone once you installed this cab.
it is all right. it is wonderfull !!!! thanks,thanks,thanks
