OK folks. Here's my problem. As best as I can tell, my acclerometer has gone bad. My poor old MyTouch will not auto-rotate. I have tried to wipe, reflash, change roms, wipe rotate settings, opened case and checked all connections, beat it with a hammer, yelled and screamed, and even blamed my wife. Is there any way, that anyone knows of, to lock the poor thing in landscape mode. Even if it is just in the text messaging app of any rom. Any ideas or help would be greatly helpfull and apreciated.

Hi all...
Not sure if anyone else has this problem, but I can set the landscape mode hack, wait, reset and it works fine. However, if I need to do a reset again, it changes back to the default setting. If anyone knows how to keep this from happening, I would greatly appreciate it.
TIA!
try this one. it works for me and all others. it'll run at every startup and you won't see the problem even after the reset.

I rooted the Kindle Fire, but did find it to be that useful nor stable, so i removed the root. Rcently, I found that I wasn't able to get it autocorrect or auto capitalize whenever I typed something.
is it just me? Whenever i typed dont, it literally only types dont and not don't. (unless i physically put the ')
Even auto cap doesn't work. I would like "i love you" but it ends up not capping the I?
Can somehow help me fix this? it's getting a little annoying. and Yes, I did turn them on in the settings, it STILL doesn't work. But the key sound does when I turned that on. I feel like rooting could have done something here.
no one knows how to fix this? I already re-installed the stock rom like 2 times already, still has the same issue. Doesn't automatically fix my words and doesn't auto capitalize either. Typing comes really annoying.
never seen that - maybe turning off - rebooting - turning on refreshes the settings
sorry no more ideas ...
the first one is every time i open a folder on my home screen my phone talks and says "folder is open" then when i close it it says "folder is closed". i cant figure it out for the life of me. anyone have a clue as to what is causing this? only way around it right now is if i turn the media volume off, but then i cant listen to music ect. its driving me crazy!
the other is right when i got the phone i installed light flow to change the led notification settings. but now whether i have light flow enabled or not, and whether i have led indicator notifications (under settings) enabled or disabled, whenever i lock the phone the led glows green constantly, wont turn off.
anyone have any ideas what is causing these 2 problems?
I dont know about the first issue, but regarding lightlow, at this point in time , it doesnt work properly with the us versions, I also install it and had the led green light on all the time, you still can use the notifications, but the color part is messed up
Uninstall light flow.

I uninstalled light flow. It got rid of the green light. I hope they fix light flow soon, i really like the idea of it, never used it before.
Other problem is still present. Any one have any idea of whats causing it to say "folder open" and "folder closed"?

If you root make a nandriod in cwm or use titanium backup or mybackup

Hi!
Got my Priv(stv100-4) yesterday,and after setting it up i realised that pbk gestures is not working.
It is enabled in settings,the phone has the latest updates and all blackberry apps are also updated. I also tried the "factory reset" several times.
Everything else is working perfect so i don,t see what causes this. Is there a setting somewhere that i am missing or did i just get a defective device?
If possible i would reflash the firmware,but haven,t found a way to do that.
Sombody have a good advise for me?
Was hoping to avoid sending it back for replacement...

If as you say it is enabled in settings, then it just has to work. Have you tried turning gestures off, restarting phone, then turning it back on?
Also you can try pressing VOL UP BUTTON and VOL DOWN BUTTON for at least 10 Second. Device should restart.
Thanks for replying.
tried both,and nothing happend.
guess i just have to send it back.
PKB gestures only work when using the Blackberry Keyboard, so if you installed say, the Google keyboard instead, and set it as the active input method, PKB gestures stop working. You have to use the Blackberry Keyboard as the active input method.
I wish it could be someting that easy,but i only have the blackberry keyboard installed
Hi together,
just was able to update to upgrade to Nougat. (O2 Germany)
I just have one big problem. I have to control the screen like Talkback is activated. But it isn't. (two finger scroll, tap and so on)
Does anybody have an idea how I get rid of that really annoying thing? If possible without factory reset. My Phone isnt rooted.
My Google and forum search hasn't helped me. The answers were always turn off Talkback, which it is already.

I had the same problem yesterday after the update, took some time to change back to normal behavior: restarted in safe mode, changed the resolution back to WQHD, changed some accessibility settings, like turning it on for Nova Launcher and turn off optical reader (I don't know why it was turned on...). After that I restarted to normal and seemed to work ok but then I turned on the accessibility feature optical reader again, too see what it does and the screen was only with 2 finger operable again, so I turned it off.
You can disable/remove Talkback in the application settings. Try in safe mode if it's not possible in normal mode. I tried to change the Talkback settings in the system settings (searched for Talkback) and it said in a pop-up that it isn't compatible with the system, so I removed it completely.
Thank you so much norti!!!!!!!!! Had the same issue with S7 (T-Mobile USA), and your advice helped!!! Actually, it was the only one I could find so far
Thank you Norti
Thank you so much. I had the same problem after performing the software update over night last night. I was so frustrated with it and the techs at the sprint store spent an hour with my phone and could not fix it. The techs recommended that I back up all my contacts and everything and then do a factory reset. I did not want to do a factory reset and searched the internet for a long time before coming across your post. I turned off optical reader and it fixed the two finger problem. Thank you so much for sharing this as I would have been lost without it.
Exactly the same happened with my S7 edge, almost drove me crazy before I figured out that it was Optical reader in accessibility that caused the problem.
That worked
Thank you for the correct fix post. Optical Reader off did it for me, too. Spent all morning wading through "Cool features of Nougat" and getting ready to break my S7 while calls were coming in...

I figured that it had to be the optical reader as that was one of the incompatible apps it reinstalled after the upgrade. Had to use two fingers to get through most menu-options, frustrating, to manage to disable it. Glad to see I wasn't the only ripping my Hair out experiencing this issue. Hope they fix it.
For future reference (in German):
This works:
Einstellungen > Eingabehilfe > "Text & Bildscanner": turn off ("Aus")
