Hello,
the E-Ink display is perfect for a navigation program, if I drive a motorbike, but there are many problems. Maybe it is already solved by other users.
If I start it as E-Ink-App, the display is only in Portrait mode, but my holder is horizontal.
If I start it with Yota Mirror, the display is going to Energy Saving after a short time. It is not possible, to switch it on again, while driving.
Does anybody know, how to use a navigation program in Landscape mode on the E-Ink display?
---
I have changed the holder for the yotaphone to vertical now.

I have a HTC wizard, with the latest ROM upgrade, but I have a problem. I dont know if this is related to the latest iMate ROM, but when I put my screen in landscape mode it rotates the screen correctly.
Only when I open and close the phone again, the screen is rotated back again. I want to keep the screen on landscape mode.
Is there a way to keep it on landscape and avoid this 'bug'?
it's not a bug, it's a feature
And no - nobody has any ready solution. Would probably require hacking the keyboard driver to stop the call to change the screen orientation. Either that, or have a TSR running which continually monitors the screen orientation and switches to Landscape if Portrait is detected. That would be a lot easier, but such battery more
Weird, because when you select that option "Settings->System->Screen->orientation" you would think it would be a permanent thing .
it would be if it weren't for the fancy slide-out keyboard and the fancy people behind it who thought it would be a good idea to automatically change the orientation to Landscape when slid out (which probably IS a good idea) and back to Portrait when slid back in ( which is a good idea if the device was in Portrait when it was first slid out, but not a very good idea if it was in Landscape to begin with %) )
its just lazy design.
That is really too bad. I found a hint which file to pach : keybddr.dll, but I dont think I can do that
OK
My SPV M5000 sets the screen orientation correctly depending on how the screen is swivelled. This works fine.
However, I have a landscape holder in my car which grips the phone with it open in the portait orientation. ie, phone is in portait mode but sits on its edge (USB downwards to charge).
Is there a way that I can tell it that if its in portrait AND being charged to rotate the screen appropriately.
Thanks

Join the club,
You can use PhoneAlarm. It can automatically detect ChargingOnly mode and rotate the screen to Landscape for you.
I do not use PhoneAlarm to save RAM, instead I made a shortcut with wisbar to easily rotate the screen.
Hi,
I have the same config for the car holder of my Universal. For rotating screen properly, I use PocketZenPhone 6.0. I have configured a profile called car wich rotate screen in the right orientation and activate BTheadset on call. But I have to activate this profile by pushing screen, hardware button or voicecommand or programming on calendar...not working automaticaly...
I configured another profile called navigation wich activate bt for gps mouse, choose the right orientation and...launch TT5.21 on one click...
The OS rotates fine so that any edge can be the bottom (or top, depending on how you visualize it) but apps that lock into either portrait or landscape mode use either the HDMI edge or the POGO edge as the bottom and I can't find a way to change this. With a pogo charging cable finally available, I'd like to be able to set my Nexus 10 on a stand with the pogo port on top but that doesn't work with apps that force landscape mode because they are determined to have the pogo port on the bottom.
It seems like the OS should have an option for flipping the tablet's default orientations so apps that want to force landscape or portrait modes can at least be flipped within those modes. Am I missing something obvious?
I am trying to play a game on my android phone that is connected my tv via mhl to hdmi adapter. However, the game appears rotated 90 degrees on my TV screen. I believe that is because the developer decided to lock the orientation in portrait mode and then program the graphics and controls as if the user was looking at the screen in landscape mode. Is there anyway to tell the HDMI adapter that the phone is actually in landscape mode even though it was set portrait mode? Thank you for any suggestions.
Hey,
I recently noticed that when I have the horizontal mode (eg watching movies on YT) I can not move the movie slider. The same is how I turn on the screen rotation, the buttons at the bottom do not work. The buttons operate from the middle of the screen. In the vertical mode, of course, those places where they do not work when in horizontal mode, they work. What could be the reason? I had one-handed operation - nothing changed after uninstalling. A strange situation ...
