Hello,
I'd like to use my Ameo with "vertical" screen when I'm travelling and horizontal when Keyboard is attached in the office.
However, I have to switch back to vertical always manually once the keyboard was attached.
Is there a possibility to have the screen automatically always vertical without keyboard and horizontal when keyboard is attached ?

Im looking for a similar functionaltiy.
Me to, this would be so useful.
you don't have to do it automatically, it is easy to switch the comm manager physical button to the rotate screen functionality- every time you touch the button the screen rotates - fantastic
i think the point was though that we use the device in portrait and only when we attach the keyboard it flips, and in a ideal world when we remove the keybaord we wanted it to go back to portrait as that is what we always use. pressing a button is easy but not quite prefect.
As an alternative to using the physical button (4 modes of rotation, the original only has 3 modes):

What does this CAB do? Would you mind posting a screenshot if possible?
Basically it's a screen rotator (just like the one that comes built-in with our Athena). The difference is that you have a better control of setting its behaviour through the Settings tab).
With the built-in rotator, I have to tap it twice to revert back to my potrait orientation from landscape. With this, I only has to tap it once (set it to Clockwise).

or you can just use iLuncher, it does exactly the same, it's a built in shortcut for iLuncher. one click for rotate, and one click to rotate back.
AWESOME! and thanks.

Thanks for the utility. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for...well not exactly, would be nice if it would go to Portrait when the keyboard is detached and back when it's reattached...but after further consideration it would be annoying if it did it automatically because i don't always want this to happen. Took me a little while to find the 'Advanced/Icon Settings' area...lack of sleep. I was looking for something that would go between Portrait and Landscape without rotating all the way around. I've set it up for "Right or Portrait" and this is exactly what I wanted, a type of toggle between the two modes. Thanks for posting this for us.
I'm lousy at explaining the way thing works. But I'm very happy to know you understand after trying the program yourself. A little apps with big function for people who like to switch back to potrait orientation.

you're my hero. thx.
i've been looking all over the net to find out how to get screen rotate into my advantages' taskbar (nothing worked, no tweaks, nothing).
works perfectly now. thx so much.
the thing that would make my taskbar perfect is a way to get the battery symbol INCLUDING link to the battery settings in it.
anyone an idea? i tried several tweaks, one worked but only showed the icon without any link. the others didn't work at all, dunno why.
You can tie this to a hardware button
This has been used on this forum for over 2 years. Someone may find it useful. Not "automatic" like asked for.
Install the cab file from your device and go into settings and set as one of the start menu items and 2 clicks give you a rotation and back, not round in circles like stock.
When you bind to a hardware button, one click rotates, another returns

bug report...
Found a bug. On my Advantage, the camera stopped working in Landscape mode. May or may not be attributed to the screen rotate cab. A simple fix is to go to Portrait mode and start the camera from there. It could also be related to the VGA software but not sure. I'm glad I found a quick and easy work around because I didn't feel like hard resetting yet again.
Update: Found a work around. I wasn't going to hard reset. While playing around I noticed that if I switched to portrait mode and opened the camera, it would come up properly. Just won't do it if I try to open the camera while in landscape. Weird bug but I can live with it.

Did you assign screen rotation the the camera hardware button?
There is no F11 key on the Shift, which is very annoying for full screen browser operation - can anybody suggest the best way to fix this please?
I use firefox, and there are several plugins for use with smaller screens, which shrink or remove the menus and give you an onscreen icon to switch to fullscreen.
More info on remapping keyboard layouts via the registry here -

Thanks, I use FF too, with LittleFox and FullerScreen addons. There is no on-screen button for full screen though as far as I can see?
Fullerscreen gives me a small icon at the bottom right of the browser window, which switches to full screen when clicked.

I understand your pain.. FF is so bad in full screen ... but there is a button in IE to go full screen without using the F11 key ! you just need to press "tools" and then "full screen" and it's ok ..isn't it ?

Yes that's true, but what about coming back from full screen?
Move the cursor to the bottom of the screen, the toolbar pops up again.

It's not that easy.
With my fingers I cannot get there. So I need the pen.
And even with the pen in the upper corner it does not always work nicely.
to get back
Realize that, with such a small screen, you continuously switch from full to normal IE screen.
F10 would be great for me.

you know... when I will have the shift .. I will keep IE in full screen and use alt+tab (or flip 3D) to switch between windows.. and never come back to non-full screen.
why do you need to come back in normal screen ? alt-tab and flip3D are not enough ?

Maybe that's not such a bad idea at all.
You know. Working with normal screens, I am not so much used to shortcuts. I use to click the toolbar down there to select other things.
And now... Alt Tab...
You know something. I have about 30 years of computer experience, and never thought about it.
You are never too old.....
And in the future somebody will come up with some solutions when the keyboard is closed.

yeah I understand !!!! you know , the shift's mouse is like the mouse on my first computer (20 years ago) which had a trackball on the right side of the notebook. the trackball can be detached.
keyconfig firefox addon allows you to remap any keyboard shorcut. I use it to change Full screen to F9 instead of F11.

even worse.... I use this one http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/
So I also can use it with IE.
And I also solve my eternal capslock problem by mapping the CapsLock to Left Shift.
And the tab key is my F11 now.

A black square pops up at the top of the screen when browsing in Opera and does not go away. What on earth is it?

He is talking about the Opera Browser you can see in all the HD videos. When the phone is switched to landscape mode it is displaying a strange black square at the bottom. i dissapears when you scroll on a page but when you stop its suddenly there again.
That's it Raziel1. I see it in the videos on Youtube. When you scroll it vanishes but when you stop it comes back again. I am so puzzled as to what it is for.
its the new zoom feature isn't it? when u hit it it brings up a zoom scroll bar so you can zoom as much or as little as you want instead of just double tapping the screen.
to the OP, are you sure it's at the TOP? there shouldn't be anything at the top. there should be TWO black squares at the bottom corners (one on each side), regardless of orientation. the left one is zoom, the right one is new page (or shrink current page to a tile).
Ok go here to see a video of it:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TykCSs44TAs
Move the progress bar below the video to 4minutes and 6 seconds and watch fro there onwards. Clearly seen in landscape browsing. What is it and can it be disabled in options?

looking at the newest youtube videos, it seems that this square was just part of the prerelease version. more a bug than anything else maybe.
When I'm streaming movies from Amazon, the soft buttons on the bottom of the screen constantly stay lit. Does everyone else's do this? Is there a way to turn the lights off?
I guess the Amazon app for videos does not have the necessary code to do that... it's a problem with the app....

I'm not using an app. I'm using Boat Browser to go to the site. I even went back to stock and relocked to see if that may be affecting it. No change. And I notice they never go off even if I'm doing nothing but looking at the homescreen. Do yours go off?
Well, the Nexus 10 Guidebook answered one question. They are supposed to go off like I thought.
After a short time without getting used, these buttons may shrink to dots or fade away, depending on the current app. To bring them back, double-tap in their approximate location.

And like I said before, they don't go off even when not using an app and sitting at the homescreen.
Can't anyone answer a simple question? Do your navigation button lights stay on or go off?
Someone told me their lights stayed on except when using Netflix. I signed up for a Netflix trial just to test it. They go off when viewing a Netflix movie. I guess mine is normal, just not normal to what I'm used to.

Homescreen - they stay on as long as the screen is on.
They don't "go off" ever since they're part of the UI. The only time they change is when they fade to small dots instead of icons, whenever certain apps are trying to go full-screen, although it's pseudo-fullscreen since the dots remain to show you where the home button is should you require it.

No, I've never really thought about it. It could be magic for all I know. I just know they will go off on my phone while the rest of the screen stays on.
The buttons are on the screen. They are not like the ones on your phone.
Is there an easy way to get back to the watch face? Sometimes I have to dismiss 5+ notifications or cards before I can see the dang time. Am I missing something?
On the G Watch I just hold the flat of my finger down on the screen for maybe a second and it goes back to the time, that's when I have my display set to always on.

Yeah I am returning the 360. Today I had to swipe away over 10 notifications just to seen the time. On my pebble I can press one physical button which is nice.

On my Gear Live, if I swipe down to "mute" notifications it will hide the cards, then I can swipe down again to "unmute" notifications... Not an ideal solution, but it works.

Well I just got a Samsung Gear Live, and to get back to the time for me I just "palm" it. Aka cover the face with my palm and have it go into low power mode. With the watch face I have, the time is easily visible then. If I need it brighter, I tap it and I'm back at the clock face maybe with a "card" on the bottom. This also requires two settings, "always on", and "Hide cards on dimmed screen". Both can be toggled in the Android Wear app.
Just an idea of how to get by with the cards. And if you are getting that many cards that you don't want, you can use the google now app on your phone to adjust what ones you want to see.
Latest update 4.4w2 has your solution

I just got the 4.4w2 update, and one change is what you wanted: to view the watch face without having cards blocking it.
On first glance (if you ignore the notifications), it will show the watch face. Otherwise, if you are already viewing notifications, just keep swiping down (just don't accidentally mute it).
"palming it" is a universal thing on all wear devices...no matter where you are, which screen/app etc, you can get back "home" (on this case, the watch face) by holding you palm over the watch (as if you were trying to smother it with your palm), note that this works best with palms, legs etc, I tried to make it so my bed "smother" the watch instead of hand and it didn't work.
On the new update w2, swiping down brings you back to the watch face
