whats up everyone, just got my hd2 from t-mobile and i installed slingplayer mobile and it works great however when i go into full screen mode it changes the full screen to the right of the phone and i want to change it to the opposite side. is there a simple way to do this? maybe a registry edit. i have already searched and either i am using the wrong key words but i cant find anything.
thanks for the help.
try Slingplayer 2.x. it is much better.
use BSB or ChangeScreen to associate rotation to the player. i use changeScreen.

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?

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.

what can i do ...because gsen is too unstable ( read in feedbacks) ???
thanks
I have installed the newest build of Opera 9.5 (15233) from the Omnia on my HD (so that I can install Flash Lite for YouTube etc.) and I must say that it is quicker than the supplied version.
However, it will not rotate with the G-sensor or at all. I have looked through the settings, config and registry and have found nothing that changes the situation (in the registry there is HKLM\Software\Opera\GSensor\IdleTime set at 200 but I have no idea what that refers to).
Does anybody have any ideas? I'm using Gyrator2 at the moment but would prefer it to work natively.
Thanks in advance...
Have you tried it without Gyrator installed? Perhaps the two are conflicting.
Yeah I tried that at first cos Gyrator can be a bit of a pain. Now I've turned of almost all the events it works ok.
I have noticed that my SMS and Mail don't rotate either...
hey mate,
just use mobilemagic instead of g-sens. rotation works flawlessly for messages as well. (you need compact framework 3.5 - you should find a cab here at the forum - in case you haven't already flashed a custom ROM)
regards

If I'm not mistaken, on the gyrator site, the developer states that rotation on the HD has been turned off purposely so it wouldn't conflict with TF3D. He goes on to say that strange things can happen when software like gyrator (and gsens or mobilemagic) is used to undo that.
On my machine it's mainly the phone module which gets in the way (using gsens). It works fine until I phone or am phoned and then it might or might not work properly after that, showing the screen rotating back and jumping to Home or the phone module or something.
Does Mobilemagic have any of that?

Hi guys,
Sorry for the new topic but I'm having trouble finding an app to rotate the screen to landscape for wm 6.5 - I've tried gsens and it doesn't work. Can someone point me to the right direction?
Thanks
for manually change try RotateScreen
[EDIT]
ups....sorry
here is the right one...
The zip file seems to be empty :S. Thanks for the reply though however i would prefer auto rotation - I'm not sure why this isnt auto supported with the rom ....
Edit - Gyrator 2 - That's so far provided the best results!
Try Gyrator. (http://gyrator.brins0.net/) I use it on my windows mobile 6.5, and it works perfectly!

Gyrator2 is amazing lol. it flips the phone so fast. its way faster then it was before in apps that it would flip in. and when the phone is in landscape the keyboard still knows and changes its type. thanks for the link
i found in this it work well with my TD2 . go to this link find the software name changeScreen v2.78 – Auto Screen Rotation application
Hi I have just upgraded my rom to Dutty's 3.7 final, and its great. I have done quite a few things after installing it and I have the following problems
1) opera dosent work anymore it runs most of the time but no page ever loads (wifi or 3g) all other programs that use data work fine. I installed opera 9.7beta then uninstalled as it wasnt working very well for me, maybe this broke something?
2) I want to be able to get manilla in landscape, I have tried a few options, duttys enable manilla landscape didnt work for me, flipit didnt work for me for anything either. I tried At0mAng & Danny_and_2 TF3D2 Tweak which dose work but only enables rotation on tf3d and I want control over all my apps(it also seems to disable gsensor in apps that worked before e.g. magic 8ball).
3) related to the last one e java always rotates with the gsensor even when its disabled, which messes up a game i have installed which starts in landscape as default, when i rotate to play the screen messes up rotating and only seeing hale the screen the wrong way round.
4) in buttons I tried enabeling rotate screen via long call press, but it seems my phone wont recognize a long call press no matter what action i ascociate with it. long end works fine though.

1. Opera works fine for me. Just used Opera which came with rom. If your still having problems with your new beta version. Try installing original version again or perform a hard reset to get orginal back.
2. Try using Changescreen
3. Again try Changescreen though I have a few games installed which start in landscape including NFS Undercover & Xtrakt. Both work fine.
4. I remember reading somewhere (do a quick search) that some button functions cannot be altered. Not sure it can change functions as you described for this button. Try AEBPlus

wow thanks for the quick reply, I didnt think one man could have all the answers. One thing where should I get the orginal version of opera from? I want the one with the zoom bar that comes with the rom I assume if I download from operas website it will actually be an older version.
again thanks for the quick and really helpful answer

Version installed on Throy's V3.7 XT is Opera Version 9.5 build 16643
I'd either try searching Themes, Applications and Software forum or google it.

awesome thanks so much
Hello, guys it is my first post here. i've searched alot about my issue but doesn't figure it out. When i saw this vidoe
i figured that my acer doesn't auto-rotate in today screen but it rotates in album and IE. so i thought it might be an application or it is a theme that makes it auto-rotate. so i want to know is it a theme or the Today screen has to auto-rotate.(accelerometer works in other application but not for this)
Acer S200
Software 3.003 EN (Updated from Acer website)
yes if you look up the F900 gsensor settings cab, this cab will allow you to set what apps auto rotate and it works for the today screen too
thanks for your reply but i didn't get what l've to do. i am new to smartphones , could u explain more?
Thanks, Bickmista. I figured out what you were talking about, i've downloaded PREI_GSensorSetting.CAB and it finally WORKS!!!. Thanks again for your time and effort. but is it ok or F900 is better?
Im glad i could help and im not sure, aslong as it works. i use the f900 gsensor cab and it works well for me, but if it works then stick with it the f900 cab allows you to set what individual apps are allowed to use the gsensor to auto rotate, i do not know if the one you have has this function.
Yeah, it has this function and it works fine for me. thanks again.
