DHD Screen Rotation - Desire HD General

Why is the DHD only able to go landscape when I counter clockwise(home button on the right)??? I can't seem to find a way to make it go landscape the other way? (home button on the left).
Anyone knows how? Only have this problem when watching movies and playing games....browser is ok can auto rotate

It depends on the apps. Some if then allow rotation in both directions, some don't.

arc media is kinda irritating only allow rotate to one side but not the other

thats the apps fault then, the DHD supports 360 degree rotation

any other video player to recommend that can auto rotate both ways?

HTC touch today plugin and stream media screen rotation

I am using new 5 tabs today plugin in my Mogul. It works great except for few issues. One is the same as with streaming media player. Once you press rotate in plugin or full screen in streaming media, screen rotates clockwise. It's not a big issue but still. I am used to rotation counterclockwise due to orientation of our keyboard. Anything I can do about it? Are there any tweaks to fix it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
AFAIK no not yet. Since the Kaiser slides the other way, it's meant to rotate like that. I wouldn't think it would be too difficult of a fix tho. You could always just use the HTC plugin row at the bottom for you screen rotation though...
Thank you. This is what I've figured but I still thought I'd ask...

Landscape ROMs ?

I have been trying to find a ROM to hold onto for a while.... One thing I would really like is if it could rotate to landscape using the 'g-sensor' ? I saw some showing screen shots with landscape views, but are those using the G-sensor or are they just landscape after pushing a button or something saying like 'rotate screen' etc... ? I would like it to rotate automatically...
please advise me on this...
The easiest ways to achieve this are either run an app called Gyratur or use BSB Tweaks to achive the same result.
Both can be found on here by using the xda google search facility.
Please come back if you have any further questions.

Are there any graphical issues to be expected in landscape view?
I was looking for the same, then downloaded this app:

You can put in exceptions and setup which apps you wont to rotate and how far to rotate. Not tried the ones mentioned above
I cant get that app to work completely for me, it does landscape sometimes and when it does everything doesnt rotate with it and/or it has a black screen
I use Gyrator 2, and haven't had an app not work in all 4 rotations yet.
I did try BsBTweak's rotate function, but it messed a few programs up (like Live Messenger, for instance).
gyrator 2 seems to work the best so far, only it is a little too sensitive -but that is customizeable I believe....

[Q] Mapping Screen Orientation to Hardware button?

Hey guys,
I know that having auto orientation activated causes temporary freezes on android. Sometimes I don't want to miss the landscape orientation - so instead of having the orientation being checked by the proximity sensor (causing lags) - is there a chance to simply map a small programm to one of the hardware buttons (let's say longpress-back key flips orientation bei 90°)?
I wonder if one of you managed to do that with programs available at the marketplace. Or if one of you could give me a hint how to do that on my own.
Greetings

i really like this idea too.
Just like the answer button long press on energy roms would be fine

The new HTC g2 lancher posted here has landscape support but not through g sensor ,so it would be nice to have this option

Landscape or Portrait?

How do you prefer to hold it?
Landscape.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
for some reason it just feels right holding it in landscape..
Landscape here as well.
I will say that, in Portrait view, I've noticed a tendency for the home screens to stutter just ever-so-slightly when sliding from one to another. Almost imperceptible, but definitely not as smooth as in landscape. Anyone else notice this?
landscape + tablet keyboard = win

Portrait would be ok if they moved the keyboard about an inch up. Trying to hold it at the bottom and type is way too top heavy.
Browsing or reading books I prefer portrait; most other uses I tend to go landscape -
I usually go portrait mode for general web browsing and landscape for typing and certain apps.

[Q] Force Landscape Rotation

Greetings people !
I have just installed Bell TV on my nexus player ... unfortunatly, those mo*******ers start the app in portrait ... navigation is pretty chaotic but I can't get the app to switch to landscape mode, like on my Nexus 7 tablet ...
Any ideas ? :victory::highfive::crying:
I don't have a Bell TV subscription anymore to test with but I doubt that much has changed since the last time you asked about this app on the Nexus Player.

"You can use an app like Ultimate Rotation Control or Set Rotation to keep it locked in landscape mode but either way, even after you log in and select a channel, there's no way to display the video in full screen mode so you'll only be able to see a small box of video in the corner of the screen. It's just not practical to use."
