i think it started while i was trying to install swiftkey x through the android market, but i don't know for sure as nothing i try to install off of market fully installs. i figure i have two separate problems that might be affecting each other.
i have root explorer installed as well as es explorer installed. i don't have any extra keyboards installed.
how do i get unstuck from landscape?
thank you for any feedback.
it also seems that certain screens will only run in portrait mode.
does shed any light on my problem?
i forgot to mention i have nook colour tools installed, but cannot seem to find any settings in there that help the problem.
bump
does anybody have any ideas on what could have me stuck or what might get me unstuck?
thank you for any feedback.
i have been fixed.
it was in the simplest of places. the gear in the top right has a lock setting. i must have locked myself without paying attention.
please lock this thread or whatever. i am sorry for the noob spam.

Yup, that's it. It's pretty annoying when i'm typing and the screen rotates and you have to open the vk again. any ideas? Thanx
bueller...bueller...anybody...anybody
Is there no one else who feels this is possibility? Bumping this up, hoping to get some response. MODS....Forgive me if I repost in the dev section, for lack of responses here.
It's doesn't seem like a big deal.
maybe, but it sure bugs the crap out of me. If anyone has any suggestions on trying, I don't mind. I've got nandroid, but I don't know where to start.
yes i agree its annoying, i have always wondered why its not there. i could have sworn a custom rom had it, or a custom keyboard download before cupcake
i have tried almost all the dream ports and so far all of them cut out when you rotate. Mine likes to rotate a LOT whilst typing. This would have to be modified in the code i'm sure. I don't have a clue how to do that though.
I've changed the "ro.sf.lcd_density=120" value in build.prop file with a lower value(110), which have as resault a smaller font size. All apps and seems to work fine after this change, except market. Market crash when trying to tap on an app. I can open it, see the list of apps or search for an app, but crashes everytime I'm trying to access on an app for download. I tried several different versions that I found here, but this happens in every version.
How can I solve this issue?
I would like to keep this setting, but loosing market is a big lost.
Any ideas or help?
Im sorry that im posting here, but i didnt want to make new thread, since my question concers smilar thing So, if i understood correctly, changing resolution makes apps and games work as fine as on other models with higher rez ? If so, how i can do that ? btw, i have rooted my tattoo and got a cm mod. Thanks in advance
Hi Guys,
Just hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.
I flashed to 3.01 US stock from UK in order to get the updates. I updated twice to 3.2.
What I'm noticing now is that if I click on a link, that launches an associated app (browser for instance), I used to get a screen jump up and ask which app I wanted to use. So if I'd installed Firefox, Dolphin and got Stock, it would give me the option if I hadn't yet set a default.
Since 3.2 when I click the link, the screen fades out, but the options aren't showing to select which means I can't launch the link/app.
The fix is to uninstall any relevant applications until I only have one app that can launch said link, then reinstall, and I get the option again.
Anyone had this or know how to fix without reinstalling everything?
Hope that made sense....very tired so it might not have done
I had the problem I hope u didn't set Firefox or dolphin as ur default browser what I did was erase all data now I have dolphin and the default drowser all working fine here

This issue has been discussed, but there are two simple ways to solve it without having to reinstall everything.
1) Simply wait and eventually it will fix itself. I know this sounds strange but it will eventually work. I am not generally patient so this one did not work for me.
2) With Autorotate ON, simply rotate the Xoom so that it has to redraw the "picker" screen. Do this when the screen dims and nothing is showing up. I have found that once you do this once for any particular file type you do not need to do it a second time.
I too was reinstalling apps to get the screen to show up, but even that did not always work.
I had the same problem and it seemed to only manifest itself after I re-installed all my apps from Tiamat/Xoom Zone with Titanium Backup. I'm not sure which app was the culprit but after uninstalling Scripter and aLogcat it started working perfect.
Hope this helps!
Same Issues !!
With opera Mobile and MoboPlayer !

Will certainly check these options out. Are you saying that in the first instance, when the screen dims.,...if I left it long enough, it would appear?
Has this been put to Google on their Bugs page,....as Bugs go...it's an annoying one
The Asus Transformer has the exact same problem. makes me think it could be more of a HC3.2 bug now after seeing this thread than device related.
Worse after you think you have fixed the problem every time you turn the device off and then on again on the problem begins again if you have multiple apps that can load a file or link like a web browser (I use multiple). If you have one app or set one app to be the default then you don't have the problem ....with that file or link
Easy to reset by rotating the screen ..but each time you turn on?
Question........
has anyone fixed this with a factory reset?
Factory reset will not fix this . Other browsers , media players and file managers somehow cause the problems .
Hey there, I just had to go through a big saga that involved taking my touchnooter rooted 1.1fw nook touch , wiping it, upgrading it to 1.2.1 and rerooting with Nook Manager. I've installed NoRefresh, and I can get it to launch, but something is interfering with it. As soon as it's activated, everything gets greyed out and there's a ton of ghosting. I've ifddled with Relaunch's fastmode and other display settings but still can't fix it. What do I need to do to get no refresh working the way it used to with touchnooter?
Thanks!
Hi,
I can confirm this problem. If anyone needs some specific data, please ask for it, because right now I have no idea where to start to debug this.

*bump* Anyone have any ideas? Even if it's just someone in particular to ask, any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Superuser is likely the problem.
When you run it does a notification pop up onscreen stating "norefresh has been granted xxx"?
That popup changes the focus and deactivates norefresh.
Simply configure superuser not to display messages when app switches to root mode.
This worked for me when I had trouble running under 1.1.X.
Norefresh did not work as well on 1.2.Z last time I checked with fastmode being a better alternative.
You need a different toogle app on the newer firmware

Thanks Crispy! However, I do have the 1.2x toggle app, and the problem doesn't appear to be stolen focus on my device. I do get that popup, but not when I try to toggle NoRefresh. So disabling the popup isn't going to do the trick. Something else is changing the contrast in a weird way a split second after NoRefresh activates, and it's negating the speed gains on NoRefresh.
I'm getting by with fastmode, but dithering is making text hard to read. If it's possible, I really would like to get NoRefresh working, without having to downgrade to 1.1 firmware again (ie wiping my device). Thanks again!

Nope. Though the problem was... well, not resolved actually, but obliterated when nookcolortools wiped the system when I hit a wrong button. Back to firmware 1.0.
So I'm now on 1.1.2 and nookmanager rooted again (dealing with a different set of problems, this time regarding gapps :silly but f4th0m and others may still want advice.
1.1.2 or 1.2.1?

Hi,
I have a NST rooted and the screen is not working, i've clean it but it is still not working at all.
I wonder if it is a way to bypass the drag to unlock screen and reconfigure the buttons via ADB Shell in order to keep using de NST.
I've tried to modify settings.db but i still have not find a way to bypass the lock screen.
Anybody knows how to do it?
Thanks,
César
@csrrvr, try this mod.
Once you get past the lock screen issue using ИΘΘK¡€'s link, you may want to install RenateNST's Touch-1.0.apk to help you try to determine if (and where) there is a problem with the touch sensors.

I've tried the mod but i'm not able to bypass the lock screen. I think that it is beyond my knowledge. I just will buy another ebook reader; soon or later with a broken touchscreen i would have to do it.
Thanks anyway for your advice ,
