Disable Auto Rotate?

I have tried searching for this but not been able to find anything, so sorry if it is already covered elsewhere.
Does anyone know how to disable the auto rotation of the screen that happens when you go from laptop to tablet mode?
Thanks in advance
Sam

It has been asked before, and I know how to do it, but I have to get a little time to write the app. It's quite an easy app to write, just time is unavailable to me I need a time turner.

I would have thought with your 1337 5k1llz you would have at the very least had your own TARDIS lol
Nice to see Pratchett references popping up all over the place =)

I thought I saw something here about an app that was already created, except that it made the Universal totally ignore any lid motion, so closing the lid would not put it to sleep. I can't remember what thread I saw it in... I thought it was Vijay who did it, too. Hmm.

do you really have to go through all the trouble to write a program for it or is there a simple reg hack to take care of this?

There's a little of both. It's a driver hack, but combined with some registry.
I wrote the other program also, can't remember what it was called now, for maintaining control and enabling the Universal's external keys, but it had a limited release of 1 guy trying it.
Then I got distracted for 6 months, having a baby

Any update on this? I would like the auto rotate to still rotate but into landscape mode the other way up, as opposed to portrait mode, if you see what I mean

Disable auto-rotate
Hi Vijay555,
Any luck finding the program?
Would really appreciate it mate.

just in install vijaylumix 2. click on enable extra brightness than switch power off. After that autobrightness will be disabled and screen orientation will not go automatically works just fine hehe

The camera does not work once vijaylumix 2 is started :-(
So back to the drawing board.
Actually isn't there a program that sets selected programs to start in either landscape or potrait view?

Try re-launching VJLumos I/II/III to disable.
vijaylumix? Dude, what kinda weird sounding pseudo-romantic idiom is that?
VJUzumaki has been re-written. The nega/positive side effect of VJLumos is unexpected but useful. But VJUzumaki will disable rotation and provide a whole shebang loud of new features.. coming soon.

Sorry mate should be 'VJLumos II' and not 'vijaylumix 2.'
Looking forward to VJUzumakimix....only kidding VJ. When is VJUzumaki due?
Respect & seasonal greets.

umm, if I recal you can remove the magnet from inside the casing, that makes the screen auto rotate

I'm working on bells and whistles (ie features!) for VJUzumaki, so hopefully shortly into the new year.

what is the status of VJUzumaki, or has there been an alternate fix found for this problem?
Thanks

Bad phone dial performances

Hi, this is my first post here, so greetings to all.
Two days ago I've received my p3600, and I'm in general happy with all its features, but phone dial.
First, I feel that dialling is very slow. Using normal sound configuration, I notice a remarcable delay between my finger pulsation and the numeric button response. Curiosly, this delay is shorter when I change the dial pad sound configuration to "no sound", but this isn't a true solution, because I prefer to feel clearly that some button is pressed.
Someone knows how to improve this ?
Second, the dial buttons size is too small, at least for me. I want use the phone without the stylus, but using the finger, I must dial very carefully, so the dialling experience is frustrating.
I've took a look at some dial themes, but I'm no sure about if using a theme with bigger buttons can solve this, because I think that the tap area for each button is established by the software itslef, and using oversized buttons has no consecuence.
Any ideas on this ?
Thanks in advance.

1. have you turned off the smart dial feature? That slows the phone down considerably. If you have done that already... I think that's about as fast as it gets. Yeah I wish they would make dialing faster.. Too bad they couldn't make quick like the wm5 smartphone devices.
Thanks for the tip about no sound speedup.. going to try that for awhile.
2. Eten Dialer Skin.. big buttons.. yes the tap area is bigger.

Do a search for zphone, you'll find skins for the Tytn. I'm using one of them on my Trinity.

I want vide button too...

another thing to check
go the the phone screen,
select menu - options - and try to set the keypad to Off.
That's the 1st thing I do when I get a new phone

Just I've installed Eten dialer. Very good suggestion.
I've missed the video call, but really I prefer this stuff..
Thanks to all.

I have made the big key version with video key.
International version will be available soon

Cannot find any video dialer skins on that page (?)

Hi !
+1 for basiling's skins
try iPhone dialer (http://wm5dialpad.googlepages.com/iphone) : NICE !, larger buttons, video calls ...
with key sounds disabled, it's almost perfect IMO.

Compass recalibration trick

Hey .. maybe I found something new.
As far as I know you can't force compass recalibration. I only saw the screen first time I run the compass app. Even magnets close to my HD2 wont show the screen.
And it seems it would be needed. My compass very often shows clearly wrong heading.
And now the trick .. the recalibration works all the time, even without the screen ! Simply do the 8 move .. and the compass will start to show correct heading !
I'm running 1.43 rom btw.

When doing 8move, do you keep phone in vertical or horizontal position? Or does it matter at all?

It's easier to show then to describe:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP3d00Hr14o
Though I do it a bit slower.
Now I found there are more methods. Clearly nobody really understands what's going on. But this method above works for me.

got it, thanks

wait what? How is this a trick? HTC compas clearly says to do this if its not calibrated. What is going on around there?

I was hoping this thread was going to be a way of starting the compass without geting that annoying calibration screen.

Then you didn't read the thread... The OP was saying that sometimes even if the compass wasn't saying calibration was needed, it would show wrong resullts, so he was looking for a way to "force" calibration.
I work with industrial electronic compasses, and calibrating them usually involves turning them in all "3D" directions so that they can register max/min values on all axes. I do the same with my HD2 and it works well.

Yes .. the 'trick' is in that you don't have to see the screen and recalibration work all the time, not only after showing the screen.

It don't work
I tried to hard resset and many other things. There's no way of Digital Compass work for me. When I move the phone as 8, the maximum I get is a blank screen. (maybe it's because flip it software) but no mather how I try, never could use digital compass.
Anyone has a tip, a cab, or anything to help me make it work ? Thank you

Compass Device Sensor
Hi llucas
There is a software call "Z-DeviceTest" in google play store , it is a free app , you can download and check what sensors are avaiable in your device. If you have compass in your device, you should get "Tick" (refer -> device1.jpg ) on the compass Icon , if not you will get a"X Cross" (refer -> device2.jpg ) on the compass icon.
Hope this helps.

Auto unlock on receiving call using BT headset

Gents,
Here is a little thing bothering me.
I use a BT headset most of the time, keeping the phone in a pocket/backpack while playing music.
The thing is that when receiving a call and answering it using the BT Headset buttons, the phone still wakes up and unlocks itself. Meaning that the device is now accessible by the touch panel but in my pocket/backpack thus messing with it.
Is there way to prevent that ?
So when answering to a call from a BT headset the device remains locked.
Thanks for any help on that.
David.

Anybody with that same problem ?
David on HD2

Hi there David,
I have had the same issue with my HTC HD2 for the past 6 months since I bought the phone and have not seen anyone come up with a resolution for this!
Even the Iphone handles this simple problem better.
I cannot understand how they can release a fantastic phone like the HTC HD2 that can just about replace a computer but can not do the simple job of not unlocking the handset when controlled with a bluetooth device.
I can only hope that there is a programmer out there that could tweek the registry to solve out problem.
Thanks Ace

Exactly. I feel the same way too. But just have to live with it I guess, just leave it and wait for the auto lock to kick in again

So I guess it is a wellknow problem with no solution or work around... at least we know.
Not pleasant to live with... having to stop on the side of the road because a call kick in while riding in the hot tropical summer.
David BT HD2 ironhorsing in Taiwan.

there is a solution, it's called s2u2. It has settings to set it to lock on call when using BT.

you want the wvga version.

Finaly hope arise... I am trying it right away.
Thank you very much for that.

Confirmed! It works!
Thank you very much nrfitchett4 .
And it gives some more life to the standby/locked screen.
Although one might want to change the default wallpapers...
The only little inconvenience of this app is that you have to re-start it after a soft reset. But it is worth it.

what do you mean?
You shouldn't have to restart it after reset, just lock your phone. You can set it to lock on screen off, or screen on, or manually.

nrfitchett4 you are right... my bad... Sorry for the misunderstanding.
The app is still working after a reset.

very good. Seems to be the only lockscreen that doesn't cause occ. lockups on energy roms.

Cant confirm that.
I use the original ROM from HTC that came with the device.

Few problems. If anyone could advice.

My phone is stock 4.4.2 with recent updates and not rooted. No issues at all just few small issues.
1) This is a weird one, if I play a video and sometime after closing video player the screen becomes like high sharpness, the white color in the screen increases. Its hard to notice but it does. But after turning off the screen and turn on again it became normal. Also I tried taking screenshot of both condition but all looks normal in that, only visually I can see that. Anyone see this issue ever?
2) Skype is very important for me for work and in its setting > Notification > I checked Vibration but it never does. Its notification sound cant change also its very low to hear outside. Please advice.
3) Spen: I dont know if its usual for everyone as I didnt tried any other Note 3 but in my phone the Spen is not responsive mostly at the screen edges. Suppose drawing a line it ends before the screen edge and mostly same all sides. I’ve a screen protector but that is not a thicker one. Its very thin so I doubt if the screen protector could cause this.

1- I notice that all the time ur not the only one
2- try clearing the skype data and reinstall it.
3- no problems with spen on my phone. I have a pretty thick screen protector on it as well. I didnt understand by unresponsive if u meant dead spots or just slower to draw but either way no problems on my handset.
Cheers!

Thanks for your feedback.
1) Its good to know I’m not alone, and probably a OS fault. Hope on next update this will be fixed.
2) I don’t want to clear skype data as I don’t want to lose chat histories. Somewhere I read this will require to enable Vibration 1st on setting and then it will work. But I have already enabled vib for call. Don’t know if there have any other option in setting to enable vibration.
3) By unresponsive I mean it works flawlessly but I’ve to press it little hard on the screen to write properly. With firm writing or light gentle pressure if draw a straight line across the screen it creates a line like this ------------- gap ------------- gap ------------------------
Also it was not working on a particular spot (attached image) but today I found it was due to the flip cover magnet. If I keep the magnet away it works perfectly.
