Fuze Landscape issue

I just tried this app out . . . good work! I like this better than Gyrator as its much easier to use. But I'm having an issue when I have the keyboard out (and have the landscape TF3D menu up), and rotate the phone back to Portrait (with the keyboard still open), it rotates the landscape TF3D menu (see screenshot). Is there a way to fix this? I added "Start" to my Exception list, but it has no effect.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] groofoo:
i cannot simlate the above problem (not saying the problem isent there, but not with my TP), even manilla itself doesn`t rotate anymore.

so verry good job.

thank you verry much.

:)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thanks guys.

I know exactly what you are talking about... The problem is that when opening the keyboard, the device rotates the screen itself (and something within the touchflo program activates the touchflo landscape screen). I have no way (for now) of detecting the open keyboard, so where 'changeScreen' would NEVER rotate the touchflo to a landscape posistion, the phone itself would (and does)... Don't know if I explained that right but if you catch my drift then good. I'll keep looking into it and see if I can resolve this...

Just out of curiosity why does this situation come up? In my own head I can see turning the device (maybe) with the keyboard open while watching a video or something like that, but why on the home screen with the keyboard open?

Thank you for the hard work. I made a donation for your son maybe a happy meal? lol

Keep up the great work

Thats awesome! He does love his french fries!

I really appreciate it! Hopefully I'll have something new for you guys by the weekend. Happy new year!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] d1millohxc:
Go into your manillla and find out what that volume control is actually called and then type that in..thats what i did but i dont remember what its called
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
Sounds good, along with the call feature. ;)

Cheers,

Steve.

RE

FYI, the Touch Pro when turn to face down will mute an incoming call by default

I'm waiting for the v2.1 FINAL!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] roma_pop:
Cause very convenient just to turn device facedown and it will suspend it, you don't need to press button. If possible to make it, or

just small application that will suspend device when it facedown?

or you may be can share part of sources where possible insert it?

Thanks

Hi, I love the program!

Only one question, how can I put "tomtom in a well" to avoid the screen tilting when I'm driving on, for example, a bumpy road?

I'm Dutch, so I don't exactly know how to translate it :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
Have you tried using "tomtom navigator" as the application name?

That works for me - I can't imagine the difference in language would make any difference to that.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yes, like Steve said try "tomtom navigator". If that doesn't work use the "Show App Names" button. If it confuses you look @ the help file. It explains how to find the name of an application...

Once you've found the name you have to add an exception and check the portrait (1st) checkbox. Let us know how it works out.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Jerommeke:
Oh that's the meaning of "well" :)

Well I did that and I still have the problem the screen tilts when the road is not really straight and flat. Not always, but once in a while. I thought with "a well" there was a way to include some kind of delay to avoid the tilting when it's just one second.

[edit] I have the first 2 boxes checked so I can use my Raphael in landscape with TomTom occasionally, so I guess it doesn't work the way I described as above?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yeah that call feature is a real pain in the ---. I do still try to mess with it tho evey now and again. Nothin solid yet tho...

It'll be done...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Soon soon. I just want to wait another day or two to see if people report anything abnormal with the app...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Which boxes do you have checked on the tomtom exception?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
OOOOH yeah man... It will rotate to landscape then if you hit a bump or turn too quickly. The only way to prevent this is to ONLY have portrait checked...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Jerommeke:
The "normal mode" and landscape (the way the keyboard can be put down), the two boxes on the left side.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Jerommeke:
Now I understand :)

I thought "a well" was a way to avoid it with for example a delay :D But it's ok, wasn't a real big problem at all :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yeah man... the only other thing I could suggest is to have NO boxes checked on your navigation app. If you did this then it will open the same way as the last application that you have open, so if you open it while the device orientation is in landscape mode, it will open in landscape. If you open it while in portrait mode, it will open in portrait...

Anyway we can close that poll? It doesn't really apply anymore...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rareness4:
Ok so I've found a slight bug with this program and the newest version of Pocketshield. In order to confirm my settings with Pocketshield(stop the settings page from freezing), I would need to open changescreen's exception list and then it confirms my settings on Pocketshield, which I found weird. Otherwise Pocketshield would freeze on the settings screen.

Now when I disable changescreen, I can confirm Pocketshield's settings w/out doing all that. I've been in dialogue with the creator of Pocketshield, so I'm trying to figure out an easier way to have both programs working at the same time but without having to open changescreen's exception list just to confirm my settings on Pocketshield.

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I can't imagine why... but try adding the pocket shield application to the exceptions with NO boxes checked. You'll have to see what the name off the app is by using the "Show App Names" button because I have no idea what to tell you to put in. To tell you the truth I don't even know what pocket shield is...

Try adding it as an exception and let me know what the result is there...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rareness4:
Oh sry Pocketshield is a phone locking program like S2U2, TouchLockPro, etc

I did what you asked and the same thing still occurs but this time, all I have to do is open changescreen and the settings of Pocketshield are accepted
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Yeah, when you open changeScreen config it stops all rotations and doesn;t start them again until you either Cancel or Save. I'll see if I can download pocketshield and see what the deal is there...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rareness4:
Actually the rotating of the program isn't the problem b/c it doesn't rotate at all, which I want and like. It's when I want to confirm my configured settings on Pocketshield. The program would freeze, and would only unfreeze and confirm my settings when I run changescreen while the program is in it's frozen state. It acts normally when changescreen is disabled.

And thanks for looking into it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] roma_pop:
Thank You very much !!!!:)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] unun281292:
There is another issue I found, I like this app very much, but what I found is, it has conflict with Photo contacts pro, when change screen activated at startup, pcontactspro just load but never appear, and what I do is un-install change screen, and photo contacts pro just show up right away even without a soft-reset
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rareness4:
I use photo contacts pro with this program and I never experienced that. Do you have it in your exception list? I don't and it's been running fine with changescreen
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] MobileXMan:
I tested the prog a few times more. Default is all boxes checked, but, for example, i excepted "cprog" with the protrait mode (the first box) checked and after phone calls when the display gets the light back, it's in the landscape mode. That happens also often when I have activated s2u2 and thd HD is returning from sleep mode.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rareness4:
Update: The creator of Pocketshield fixed the problem with a new update, so no conflicting problems anymore :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Can you send me your config file? "\Windows\changeScreen.config"
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Great to hear that! Did he by any chance tell you what it was?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] MobileXMan:
I need your email-adress
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rareness4:
No, just told me to install the new update. I can find out though.

Bugreport:

Everything (except this one) works like a charm. But I think I've found the last bug (from my point of view). If you remember, after you released 2.0 BETA users have complained that there was an annoying function - the app rotated the screen to portrait mode when the phone was placed on a flat surface (face up). You've fixed it in next release.

The bug I found is connected to this. I'll try to explain my issue... I launch an app that is allowed to rotate, the screen rotates to landscape mode and I put the phone to "face up" mode. Then the excluded manila is launched while still in "face up" mode. In that case the app keeps on switching the screen from landscape to portrait mode and vice versa untill I put the phone to some other position (portrait, landscape).

My guess is - even though I don't know how it works - that the "don't rotate when in face up mode" function keeps strugling with the "exception list apps" function.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Ah, good man! nice catch! Yeah I just tried it an although mine doesn't switch back and forth, it does show the manila in landscape. I think once I fix it you wont have the problem either. Definately wont do this in final release.

Thanks again!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
It sounds related to the problem I reported.

One option I'd like to add, if it's not too much trouble, is the option to turn on a short vibrate when it is going to rotate. Sometimes, you don't know whether the screen is mid-rotate or not, and a vibrate issued before rotation would give notification. (I have an annoying habit of tilting to landscape to highlight eMails - not used to the fact I've come from a Universal, I guess - the vibrate would be helpful for me.)

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rareness4:
From the Pocketshield creator: "Its actually a problem with the native APIs for window managment. Changescreen deals with window management and so PS when saving settings (checks some phone dialogs setup). The problem is that some of those functions freeze when called after another process already did. To fix I used alternative functions."
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I'll look into that. No guarantees tho...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Ah I see... thats great service! Thanks for the info.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
Thanks - appreciate that.

Cheers,

Hi:

This is a wonderful app (very easy to configure), however I am having a problem with it. The same thing has occurred with both version 1.54 and beta 2.1. When app is enabled, at times, the screen gets stuck. It happens especially often after ending a phone call, as well as if you open a program in portrait, then go to landscape (by opening keyboard), close program and then return to portrait (by closing keyboard). When you return to portrait, Manila sticks in landscape, only distorted. Please see attached screenshot. Although the screen shot makes it seem as though it was taken in landscape, it was not, it was in fact taken in portrait, but for some reason is getting rotated by screen capture soft (both pictures should be vertical, not horizontal as they are displayed here).

PS: I do have "start", "manila", "phone", and "cprog" in the exceptions list.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Can you send me your config? its "\Windows\changeScreen.config".

PM me if its long or maybe attach it to your post...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dmnshaye:
I'm having the same problem. Here is my changeScreen.config file. I hope this helps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I hate to be a pain in the ass but any way one of you can take a video of this? I've tried pretty much everything I can to duplicate what you are saying and I just cant! I'd like to see "first hand" whats going on... I don't see anything wrong with the configuration above...

Let me know...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] tb5...:
sadly im having the same issue as the 2 above.

i've made exceptions to "manila" as well

*keyboard closed*

it seems like when i hit the "ok" on... for example "test messages" manila seems to stay in landscape... and distorts the screen... obviously because manila is not meant to be in landscape.

*keyboard open*

after i finish using the keyboard... i will hit "ok" on "text messages" and it will go to the manila landscape view but it will be in portrait cutting off... "web search" and "contacts"... and for some reason the slide bar that is usually on portrait only... shows up and you can slide it around but it makes no difference what u stop on... it will only show the distorted landscape manila menu.

hope this is understandable...:confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
*keyboard closed*

Which boxes are checked on your manila exception? I'm guessing portrait only? If so is the device "face-up" when this happens? If its face up unfortunately it will be stuck until you turn the device to any other direction. This has already been fixed for the next release...

*keyboard open*

If you want ALL application to appear in landscape for the duration of your keyboard being open you must either flip out the keyboard as you are turning your device (from portrait to landscape) OR open your keyboard and THEN turn your device landscape.

If your device is already in landscape when you flip open the keyboard all applications that are set to be portrait will show in portrait regardless of the keyboard state!

Let me know if you dont follow & ill try to explain better...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] wizaard:
Just a little addition to my previous "bugreport":

I had to stop using the app again until new version is released :(. The "face up" bug I've reported does not only cause switching the screen orientation, it (unfortunately) also prohibits some applications from starting. Today in the morning I had difficult time with this issue because it caused G-Alarm didn't start - fortunately I woke up just on time. But as soon as the phone was moved to proper position, the alarm started ringing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
Is there a way of making all (rotatable) apps rotate to landscape if the keyboard is out, regardless of device orientation?

I think I can give the steps that can cause manila to misbehave...

1. Device in portrait, open something rotatable, e.g. File Explorer, or Programs

2. Rotate to landscape (app should rotate, no problem)

3. Click the start menu, and select "Today"

4. Manila should appear - could be in landscape mode looking ok, sometimes it's rotated portrait.

5. Rotate to portrait, it will probably be ok

6. Rotate to landscape, manila will rotate again.

I get this behaviour with manila selected at the exception with either no boxes ticked, or the first box ticked.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] -Andyoid-:
That sounds something similar to the problem I experienced on my touch HD. The phone stopped getting SMS'es and I could not send sms. They would just queue in my outbox. Untill I turned the phone into portrait mode, then they would go. Same with incoming. The screen activated when someone sent me an sms, but nothing more happened. Then I tried to view the sms inbox in portrait mode, and inn it came.

Strange! Great app, but unfortunately I cant live with a situation like that. I really hope it gets fixed in a later version! :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hivesnl:
Nice app

Hello I really like the application. The interface and the way how to configure it is very smart programmed.

Only the gyrator exceptions works better for me, due that manila is rotating even when i have it as an exception.

Please keep up this good work of yours, the gsensor is indeed better than in gyrator and that it doesn't run in my htc taskmanager is a very good thing aswell.

I noticed that when my manila is rotating when i have closed some certain applications for example Tomtom. I press volume down, and then my screen comes back to normal.

If it's a key or anything like that, can you use it as a string in the manila exceptions? In order to let it turn back automatically by this way. Because that trick worked everytime since i have tested the app 1 day.

I wish to have this program as soon as possible again!!! But for now i have to go back to gyrator, because the device was more stable with it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Damn guys I really wish these things happened on my device! but they don't!! I've never experienced any of this!

In the next release (the one I'm testing now) I've fixed a lot of the issues that people brought to my attention. Maybe they are in line with these also...

Cross your fingers is all I can say...

New version will be out sometime this weekend...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] tb5...:
*keyboard closed*

yes your correct the manila exception is portrait only...

the device is being held landscape... and face up when this happens...yup.

when gettin out whatever application... it just seems like the phone has to lag a bit before it realizes there is an exception for 'manila'.

*keyboard open*

the problem is when going from an non-exception program to an exception one...

the comment about making a option to switch to landscape always when the keyboard is open would prob fix this issue tho.

thanks for all that your doin tho man... i feel bad comin at you with all these problems lol...

i'll be waitin on tha release
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dmnshaye:
I wonder if its the ROM??

@600GOL - What ROM are you using? For that matter what ROM(s) are being used that are having this problem? I'm using NATF 4.2 Standard - FIXED..
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
FWIW I'm using the leaked Stock ROM 5.05.405.1

Cheers,

Steve
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Dude, believe me - if I make a ****ty program I definately want to hear about it! Plus if the program was perfect I'd have no reason to be on the computer which means my sons monther wouldn't nag & complain or yell all the time and my life would proably be perfect... and who wants that??

Just kidding. Seriously tho I'm putting something out this weekend for you guys. Sorry to keep you waiting so long. I was in fact trying to make it perfect but F it. I think I'd much rather fix the problems as they come along than get you all excited for a "final" version that will fix everything and then you come to find out it doesn't!

The 1st issue you mentioned above will definately be fixed in the next version as well as a few others. Kepp an eye out this weekend. I'm also going to add that appToDate support AND the lock on face down option AND if you want a short vibration right before the rotation. Steve I've got to be honest with you I thought that was retarted the 1st time you asked me about it but I actually USE it (and like it) in the version I'm testing now! So good idea and thanks for all the help with reporting the errors!

I'm also trying for an additional feature to be added in as well. A button mapping to switch the screen (on short press) and do activate/deactivate changeScreen (on long press).

Personally I don't use the PTT button for anything so I think it'd be useful if while in the car I could just hold that button down for a second to deactivate changeScreen. This way it'll remain in portrait until I get out of the car in which case I'd hold it down again. The short button press could just switch the screen back and forth between portrait and landscape...

What does everyone think about that?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Stock ROM direct from ATT 1.95.502.5 (this is a work phone for me!)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
It all sounds great - thanks for putting the time in. I can't take complete credit for the vibration idea - my wife's Omnia does it (it also has a bunch of spinny, whizzy, swirly transitions too, but I'm not going to suggest you add that ;))

I've spent some time trying to get the backlight to come back on for the call feature, but haven't even been as successful as you, to be honest. I was all hopeful that sending the VK_OFF key would do the business, but it appears that the first time it doesn't do anything, and the second time, it switches the phone off (it disconnects from ActiveSync anyway, although the call remains active).

When I can find some time, I'll try some of the other techniques I've found to get the backlight back on.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers,

Steve.

I tried this version, but I skipped back to v1.54.

This is far to complicated for me.

I like the simple straight forward interface of v 1.54
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] StevePritchard:
I take it you never tried Gyrator 2 then? ;)

Cheers,

Steve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I'll always keep 1.54 up there for download for you guys that don't like 2.x series...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Steve, didn't know you developed...

I think the trick will be to start a thread everytime cprog starts that will listen to the changes in gsensor. If you do a little research I'm 99% sure there is a function which you can use to request that your thread remains running even while the device is "suspended" like when the phone turns the screen off... Sorry I really haven't been able to work on that man I've been really busy these past few weeks! If I find the functions that allow you to do this I'll pass them on to you...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] kwill:
hey 600GOL, been a proud user of ur app after finally having another option besides gyrator. both good apps, just this suites me way more. anyways, i see one option you're going to integrate is the face down lock. anyway you could make it to where u can actually choose which lock program u want to use? that would be a first and seperate it from all other. lastly, could you just put the option back in to have only apps in exceptions rotate. i seen ur post as to how to get it to work as in 1.54, but im glad u did, or i would've never figured that out:D either way, it would be nice to have especially after all the flashing we do, thats WAY easier to remember when going through post flash setup. well, thanks much for the app and cant wait for the new version.

Hi, this is a great program. I love it. However, I found a problem of this program. After I install this program and do soft reset, I can't start the lingvosoft dictionary. It freezes at the lingvosoft logo. When I uninstall ur software, I can use my dictionary again. This issue doesn't happen when I use Gyrator. Anyways, I prefer ur program to Gyrator. I look forward for the new version. :)
