My friends can't get enough of this krups' app and I have had it on my touch pro (girlfriend's now) though it would crash from time to time, but haven't had a problem since move to imagio. And I was answering another post and I thought about how great it is. Screen rotation is smooth and fast and no accidents.
My functions:
Side to side (both ways): toggle between portrait and landscape
back to front: brings up dialpad
front to back: minimizes open windows
down to up: turn off screen
I would imagine it does take some battery life, however, I haven't noticed any real difference I'm still just amazed how well the battery on the imagio is. It makes it from wake up till bed time and then some, and I'm a heavy user. I will post my settings later that work great. Enjoy!
is it supposed to be fast when it starts the animated portion, or sluggish. Mines is like choppy at isnt it suppose to be smooth to show off the processor speed?
Also how do i get the landscape view on my phone, i seen some screen shots, and it was landscape, but i turn my phone and nothing.
Also i noticed this just right now, i used the bar code scanner to scan some ****, and i heard a weird noise come from the phone. Like a rattle or something loose, but i shake the phone and nothing. Is that the camera just working?

The rattle noise is the autofocus of the camera. IT IS NORMAL when you are using a camera application.
The start up animation is pretty choppy (it was fast on first boot) its pretty normal because the CPU is working to load the Android OS. As for landscape, it doesnt rotate on the home screen. It should however rotate everywhere else, but only if you turn it to the left (volume buttons facing downwards). If that doesnt work you have a problem. Try restarting the phone if that doesnt work you probably should call HTC.
My start up logo is choppy at first then it gets smooth.
Make sure also you have auto-rotate turned on in Settings>Sound and Display>Orientation
Morning XDA,
I've been using Opera a fair bit in bed (my gf is very easy going...) and have found the 4 way rotation feature quite annoying, as I lay on my side and hold the phone at an angle. This means that the screen is constantly switching back and forth between landscape, portrait and upside down.
What can I do to disable or limit the screen rotation? I'd ideally like just regular portrait/landscape, or even better a manual way to switch between the two.
Many thanks in advance!
Hello everyone.
I just got my X10 over the weekend and have started to play around with it. One thing I have noticed is that the screen will only rotate to landscape on one side (with the home buttons on the right in landscape mode). I've checked various videos on the net and they all seem to rotate in this direction, but don't show it going the other way. I checked my wife's Iphone and it rotates both ways. Can anyone let me know if this is an issue with the X10 in general, or just my phone. TIA.
Confirmed. the device only rotates on the left side. But i never thought about it before

Is there any reason why this would be a problem? must say I've not come across any occasion where I've thought that would be required.

It only rotates to the left, yeah. But I think it's great since I'm seriously annoyed with screen rotation at times. This way I can lie in my bed and write texts in portrait-mode with my phone on the side so to speak. And I don't want to turn it off completely since I use it when I look at pictures and browse the web. I just wish there was a way to disable screen rotation for different applications.
I believe this is the same for all droid phones. My buds Moto-DROID does the same thing and I do recal only being able to tilt the N1 in the same direction. On the DROID it makes sense to me, the physical keyboard only goes one way. However, my bud is left handed and he instinctively wanted to turn my x10 to the right so the hardware buttons are on the left and he coudltn. He immediately did not like the phone.
Thanks all,
this isn't really a problem for me, I just thought it was strange since I didn't really see a reason for it. This is my first Android phone, so I'm still getting used to the benefits and quirks of the system, and just thought it was odd. Well lets hope that we get an update to 2.1/2.2 or are able to root the heck out of this thing soon.
Cheers
The N1 use to do this too but in 2.2 it gained the ability to be rotated into landscape either way.
I reckon 1 way landscape rotation is the best thing ever... esp. with the reading lying down thing... I used to have to hold my Diamond on a weird 45 degree angle in those situations...
I bet you can think of a million reasons why it's great it only rotates one way, but I bet you'd struggle finding a decent reason why you'd need it to rotate both:
I have a problem and can only rotate my phone clockwise, this means I have to rotate it 270 degrees instead of 90, just to get it into landscape
I prefer to press the camera button with my thumb holding underneath the phone. Now I have to do it with my index finger like a normal person
I'm lefthanded - everything works backwards for me.
I just got my note and am having problems with auto rotate.
I ran the tests in *#0*#
It looks like they all passed fine
But sometimes mine rotates n it's own and when it rotates, it sticks in Horizontal.
I do not understand the calibration instructions for Horizontal and Gyroscope.
For instance, when it says place device on a level surface and press calibrate, does that mean just place it on it's back on a table? Also, after it is done calibrating, should the gyroscope "ball" on that page move when you move the device? Mine is always stationary.
On the horizontal calibration, how do you position the device before you hit the calibrate button? Should it be landscape or portrait?
IMO they don't explain these very well and it's confusing how to set this up.
Yes, just place it on a table or the floor. Not sure with the gyroscope since i don't have the Note yet, but i imagine the ball moves.
If this is a bug it's a software bug. All Desire HD owners including me had the auto rotate bug when it got released. These are bugs that's very common on freshly released Android devices, and it will get fixed.

Here's the question I have:
I only have 30 days for return if it's broken. Nobody else has complained about auto rotate yet and I would think that would come out pretty fast. I figured out mine had a problem 30 seconds out of the box.
Hi les_garten (another maemo/TMO refugee here!) - I've had my note for over a week, haven't seen any spontaneous rotations at all. I calibrated my gyro on day 1 though I think you don't ned to unless you are having problems. Once calibrated, the blue ball just sits in the centre of the circles, it doesn't move at all.

Thanx for that info! Mine also rotates when I turn horizontal, then won't go back into portrait.
How do you do the Horizontal calibration. Do you stand it on it's edge in landscape mode?
I'll never give Nokia another Nickel! Great idea with dismal execution.
horizontal calibration just involves sitting it flat on a flat surface. After calibration the ball can be "rolled" across both axes - like I said above, for me at least the gyro calibration screen does not allow the ball to roll at all either before or after calibration (hope that's what's supposed to happen, I've never had a phone with a gyro before, I would have assumed the ball was meant to move in response to tilt/turn ....

if you go into the dialer and dial *#0*#
then do sensors and run the Gyro tests and graph, it seems to be fine.
I have to keep auto rotate off.
It will rotate Landscape, but won't return to portrait.
It wil flip Landscape on one side and Landscapeon the other side, but won't do portrait, till auto rotate is turned off.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?
I guess I could whack it and start over, but that blows! That would at least tell me something I guess.
It's really irritating. And I would hate to keep it if it is broke.
I have the auto rotate bug also...you need to try many times before it will rotate... kind of embarrsing.. but I am sure it will be fixed first..but sometimes I wonder..if samsung have tired the phone at all before they ship it...such fundamental feature should work...without any problems

Thanx. I just did mine last night as well.
Very happy now!
i just got a galaxy note 3 weeks ago and it is running gingerbread 2.3.6
i have the same problem for the auto rotation problem, when i test the gyro and horizontal calibration, the ball doesnt move or move in a very laggy motion, when i lever my phone to a certain angle in all direction, the ball will not move in some area of the display. i had calibrated once before it has this problem, the ball move smoothly in any angle...now my message will auto rotate to landscape while i holding it in potrait...please help
I can't actually help fix anything - but if you enter *#0*# in the dialer and then select "sensor" from the LCD tests, then "image test" (under accelerometer sensor) you'll get a picture of a dog whichshould rotate between portrait & landscape as you rotate the phone, and there is an overlayed real time display of x and y axis angles as registered by the accelerometer.
This test should at least show whether the h/w is working or not.
Fix here

I can fix that.This is from galaxy S2 but i dont knows how for Note, i try and working for Note. But after install from CWM, i see Setting/Display/ Gyroscope calibrationand Horizontal calibration. It not working. I was very afraid and i flash new rom N7000ZSLPF---------4.0.3 http://hotfile.com/dl/156123968/e690f65/N7000ZSLPF_N7000OZSLPF_OZS.zip.html
And now Gyroscope not work but rotation is work good.
Sorry my English

dude plz helppp......................I have to keep auto rotate off.:crying::crying:
It will rotate Landscape, but won't return to portrait.
It wil flip Landscape on one side and Landscapeon the other side, but won't do portrait, till auto rotate is turned off.

It's really irritating. And I dont wat to do:crying::crying::crying::crying:
