Hi forum
Where can i manually switch between portrait and landscape mode? In WinMobile 2002 there was an icon on the bottom bar that did rotate the screen by 90 degrees. But i don't see it anymore. I don't want to pull out the qwerty keyboard everytime i want to switch to landscape mode. Tanks in advance.
Setting - System - Screen
You are able to assign the screen rotation to a hardware key. So it is only one click to rotate the screen

Use AEBPlus - as far as im aware it is freeware. When I used it I found that it had a very low memory footprint and didnt slow windows down at all (in comparison with say Voice Command). AEBPlus enables you to assign anything to any button, including different states of button press (ie short press, long press, double press). For example I used the camera button half push (which normally controls auto focus) for rotating the screen. If you dont wanna loose your softkeys you could could have single press as softkey, double press as rotate screen have fun!
the problem is that Aeb turns the screen full 360 degrees in 4 steps (starting in the wrong direction)..while the native experia rotate only does the 2 settings you get when you slide it open..which i like more
how assign rotation (Setting-system-screen) to a leftkey
Did you ever get an answer to this? I too would like to know how to assign the landscape/portrait switch to a soft key.
Thanks,
Ian

Softkeys are the two silver looking buttons below the screen.
Too change, go to Start > Settings > Buttons > Select either "Left key" or "Right key" and assign "<Rotate Screen>" via the dropdown menu below.

If you go to Options -> Screen Orientation and select only 0 and 270 degrees, it will work like you want.

I'm pretty sure softkeys are the functions shown on the bottom of the screen. The two silver buttons are called left and right button usually I guess.
Often those keys will press the corresponding softkey, but they can be programmed to do other things with software like AEB+.
My bad, I meant left/right key. I do know the difference, I just had not had my coffee yet. thanks for the info!
Hi everybody!
I would like to have a touch screen back button positioned on my task bar instead of pressing the hardware key each time. Does app capable of this exist? And is there a way to customise more buttons within the task bar? Thank you gurus
I have a really, really strange dead spot issue with my G2. It does NOT seem to be a hardware issue. It started a few days ago.
The bottom area of the screen appears dead, but only when I use certain applications. For example, the bottom 'row' of the screen does not respond to touches when the dialog-box type buttons in the Email and Gmail accounts are on screen (the row of buttons with 'Delete', etc). The same is true with any other application that puts buttons on that bottom row like that.
But if I touch the screen in the same spot in home launcher, or if I hit the 'menu' button and the pop-up menu appears, that area of the screen works fine.
I also noticed I can't dismiss the pulldown status menu by tapping at the bottom of the screen.
I've tried using different roms (Cyanogen 7, 7.1RC1, MIUI, etc), and they all have the same problem.
Has anyone seen this?
Is there a way to temporarily move the soft keys (Back / Home / Recent) to another location on the screen when the keyboard pops out in landscape mode? Reason for this is I've accidentally hit the back/home button all too often while typing on the keyboard in landscape, so if the soft keys could re-position to the top or sides during typing it'd be good.

I'm a pretty sloppy typist and I find that when I'm typing in landscape mode I'm constantly hitting the soft menu buttons underneath the space bar (home, keyboard hide, and app switcher). As you might imagine, this is pretty annoying as I'm constantly losing the page I'm working on. Does anyone know of an app or setting that will either hide or disable the three soft keys when I'm typing?
