Screen auto-rotation disabling

Is there any program/registry setting to disable screen auto-rotate during keyboard opening?

Anyone?

Why do you want this?

Why did you want to disable the auto-rotation while slide out the keyboard? It's one of the major reasons for me to buy wizzard. It is convenient for me to input in landscape mode.

I'd like to use it in landscape mode even when it's closed. Of course I can set it LS in settings/sytem/screen but after opening and closing the keybord it reverts back to portrait.

Exactly the same problem!
Is there any solution? Any registry key to change?
Thanks!

theres reg entry ,but seems to be just output of function, rather, than input...
just little bump...

So there's no solution...keep it always in LS mode?

Keep Titan in landscape mode always?

I'd like to always have my Titan in landscape mode, and I'd like it to stay that way even when I open and close the keyboard. My old Apache did the same annoying thing - you can switch to landscape mode in the Settings > System > Screen, but as soon as you open and close the keyboard it switches right back to portrait.
Surely there is SOME way to make the phone stay in landscape, right?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

theres a exe file out there called landscaper that allows the phone to always switch to landscape mode. When you wake the phone up or slide the keyboard the screen will change back to portrait but only briefly (you can set the amount of time in the options menu if you set it to 0 its pretty quick that it goes back to landscape). You will have to either put it in the start up folder or manually start the program each time after a soft reset. I personally just settled on mapping a hard key to rotate the screen and find this easier and quicker. Google Landscaper exe and Im sure you'll find it, if not PM me and I can send it to you. (dont think I can attach it here)
sorry didn't know this one posted!

me 2! man this is great

it goes back to portrait when you open and close the keyboard, plus it doesn't work after a soft reset--reverts back to portrait.

There's apps that let you change the orientation of the screen. Just set one to a hardware button. Sometimes you have to work with what you're given.

thanks. i asked for this before and got some snooty replies, glad not everyone is like that

hey after using the app i dont like it no more i want to just keep it in landscape no changing to portrait then back to landscape that takes to much time please help if this is possible

You get snooty replies because you ask questions a simple search could answer and you do it in inappropriate forums with a statement in the title instead of a question. Simple as that.

Obviously not a perfect solution, but much better than before. Thank you!

Putting it in your start up folder will solve the issue with the soft resets. If you play with the settings within this app you can set it to automatically revert to landscape when you open/close the keyboard, takes about 2 secs to switch and switch back but no invertvention is neccesary on your part once this feature is enabled.

WOW...you can find it at Windows\startup

lanscape mode with no downloads...
well, you guys must be talking about something else, because last time i checked. you dont have to download anything to achieve this..
all you have to do is go to start\settings\system tab\screen and there it is... you can change it to landscape mode for a righty or a lefty!!:

....and once you change it and open and close the keyboard it reverts to portrait. the idea of this thread is to make it start and stay in landscape constantly.

oh, i see what your saying!!
my bad!!!!!!!!!!

Locking the mogul in landscape
Isnt there a registery hack or something that could accomplish this.. The HTC Tilt already has this function and it is basically the same design.
I am a text addict and my fingers move faster then the phone... It would seem that there should be a way to override the hardware switch on the keyboard.
I am not familiar enough with the registery to finger this out... but if someone out there is familiar with the registery...

I did a few registry searches and changes looking for it and didn't find it. So I figured I'd search. That's why I referred you to this thread.

I will keep watching this thread.. I apprecate the assist...
If anyone comes up with a better solution... Please share it... THanks

disable both action screen, and dialer when slide open

Hi, I usually slide open just to power on the phone.
So, I would like nothing to happen when I slide the phone open when on the today screen..
Does somebody have an idea how to do this?

Are you talking about the Keypad QuickTasks?
You can easily find the option on Start -> Settings -> System Tab -> Keypad QuickTasks

Yes, I mean the dialpad quicktasks.
When this is disabled I get the dialer instead.

As a "workaround", you could just press the red "hangup" button after opening the phone to return to the home screen...

this annoys me too, i may write a small program that looks for the keyboard opened event, and minimises the phone program

That will be cool!

Oh.. I've been using a certain "Yet another lock app" v1.2 or something like that... and I always set mine to lock and suspend everytime I do a right to left sweep (via FTouchFo). And everytime I slide the keypad, it automatically unlocks and nothing comes up; no quicktasks nor phoneapp). I'm not kidding... I don't know if it's a good "side-effect", but that's how it works.

can you post a link or the cab?
I hate the search function!

I actually prefer this than any other locking app out there since this app uses the same built-in Device Lock program with a few nice modifications.
Enjoy!

Optional Alternative
I wrote a mortscript file to disable both menus
1. Extract
2. Place "Kill" folder in Program Files
3. Place run.mscr in startup
4. Reset
Enjoy

Simple fix for this
Hi there,
I just got my Niki a couple of weeks ago (with T-mobile in the UK) and this has been bugging me too ever since.
I figured that there must be a registry setting to control this somewhere as the Keypad Quicktasks are able to adjust this behaviour. Last night , I finally found it.
The setting in question is:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch/ActionScreen/Check
With the Keypad Quicktasks on, it is set to 1. With them off it is set to 0 and will instead launch the phone app.
Simply set it to anything else (e.g. 2) and both the Quicktasks and the phone application are disabled upon sliding open the phone. The active slide event is still recognised and sliding the phone open will still answer an incoming call.
Sweet.

Agreed Thanks fenallen

i've come accross a problem - a reset seems to wipe the settings and has reverted to showing the phone screen???

Well it seems to survive a soft reset as well as power cycles with the battery removed so I presume you mean a hard reset, in which case ... isn't that the point of a hard reset?
I would be amazed/worried if it wasn't set back to default by a hard reset.

nope, i am on about a soft reset! i'll try again to see if it keeps the settings this time

Im happy to say it works fine, after i made a soft reset.

power on/off
it´s posible to change the action of the power buton hardkey?
thanks

Decimal point and comma reversed on landscape keuboard

Hello there,
Just noticed that whenever I'm typing a SMS/MMS in landscape mode using the full QWERTY keyboard, the decimal point and comma are reversed, meaning when I press the decimal point I get a comma and vice versa. Typing in portrait mode is fine, no problems at all. Also, the shifted values and are fine in both landscape and portrait mode.
Any thoughts out there?
Regards, Jack

Are your regional settings set right?

Same problem on mine and regional settings are correct.
Seems like a bug.

Same here. I'd just incorrectly assumed it was a side effect of Gyrator

It happens to me as well, whenever I use the landscape keyboard when I'm "not supposed to" with gsen. When the landscape keyboard is used in Opera this doesn't happen. Should be easy to fix.

It's not confined to gsen or Gyrator either - using AEButton to map "rotate screen" and the keyboard does the same comma/fullstop switch-round.
It is rather annoying that Opera doesn't do the same thing actually - otherwise you can just mentally swap them in your mind and it's fine!

This has nothing to do with Opera, the bug shows in landscape keyboard in any application including Opera, when T9 is on. Turn it off, and the layout goes back to normal.

Remove space between gestures and keyboard

I want to use the Samsung Keyboard but it have a space idiot between the keyboard and gesture...Have one method to remove this? I don't want to use another keyboard.

Why don't you want to use another keyboard? With SwiftKey or Gboard you don't have to physically switch languages. It happens automatically. Seeing the as your keyboard says Portuguese I think you would benefit from one of those options. Just FYI. ?
To answer your question, the space is there to prevent accidental swipes so I'm not sure that you can actually remove it with gesture navigation.

Having the same issue here. The space is anoying me. Anyone know how to take it off? (Gboard here)

In navigation bar options turn off show button to hide keyboard but I recommend keeping it on as you can accidentally type while trying to exit the keyboard
