No joy with Verizon TP2

[Apologize if this noob is violating protocol ... I tried to scan the 50-odd pages of this thread, but this issue didn't seemed to be addressed.]

I have a 2-day old Verizon Touch Pro 2.

After a hard reset to remove an incomplete Outlook account which was crashing the sync process, on Day 2, the G-sensor stopped functioning.

It will auto-rotate in Opera, VERY slowly, but nothing else.

It does rotate upon pulling out the keyboard.

Teeter appears unaffected.

I have used the G-sensor calibration a few times and it says calibration complete but nothing.

I have confirmed Auto-rotate is switched on.

I have aligned the screen.

Last night I installed ChangeScreen 2.7 seemingly without problem, but also apparently without effect.

This morning I did a hard reset, still nothing.

Any thoughts?

hi, could someone direct me to an instruction on how to install this?

Download the changeScreen.cab found in the first posting on the first page of this thread, to your PC. Copy that .cab file to your phone. On your phone, open File Explorer. Navigate in File Explorer to the changeScreen.cab file. Simply select or open the changeScreen.cab file and answer the questions (I suggest installing it into main phone memory).

Is this compatible with HTC WWE 2.07.707.1 ROM for TP2?

Thanks for this app! I've used it on my AT&T Fuze running Stock WM6.1 & am now considering using it on my T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 running HTC WWE 2.07.707.1 ROM. Is this application compatible with this ROM & the included sensor SDK? Also, do I need to perform the registry hack for the Phone canvas issue? Please advise me accordingly. TIA! Konker

Thanks for this app. I used gyro just for flipping the screen - and with this one I´m a lot more comfortable with. Muchas gracias ;-)

screen appears to be rotating while the phone is in sleep?

Clarification for the 1st issue, it does actully work as expected. But except when the player is on Play, then I guess when you put the device on sleep it actually just turn the screen off. So maybe you could disable the rotation when the screen is off also. This way when you play music, then put the device to sleep, then put it in your pocket while music playing, then take it out and turm it on you would not see the screen rotating back from the position it was in your pocket, which can take 1-2sec for me...

Interactions with hardware keyboard?

I found that sliding open the hardware keyboard seems to override ChangeScreen. I installed ChangeScreen on TP2 (WM6.1), and was trying to restrict certain programs to portrait only.

To demonstrate my case:

1. With hardware keyboard undeployed, set ChangeScreen's default to portrait and landscape.

2. Do not add exception for target program (in my case, navicomputer).

3. Save.

4. Start target program, and it is observed that target program can be rotated by ChangeScreen.

5. With hardware keyboard undeployed, add exception for target program, checking portrait only.

6. Save.

7. Start target program. It is observed that target program does not respond to rotation.

8. Now slide open hardware keyboard. Target program changes to landscape.

Is it possible to use ChangeScreen to restrict a program to portrait only, hardware keyboard deployed or not?

I want this feature because on my TP2, GPS reception is a lot better with the hardware keyboard out - perhaps it's blocking the antenna or something - and the View menu in NaviComputer is only available in portrait.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] VOODOOS!L:
you should use other tools to rotate your screen...probably your navigation software has some build in rotation options or you could link one of you buttons to rotate the screen or launch wkTask with rotation options...

excellent app!!

It works perfect on my HD2, it actually solves many issues that i was very annoyed with! maby thanks! you are a legend!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jrbloom:
Excellent App

I've just installed it on my HD2 and I must report that this app is indeed better than gyrator 2, it offers more control and customization, it's made my HD2 even better!! Brilliant!!! thanks!!

Phone screen

How do I get the phone screen

not

to rotate on HTC Imagio?

I have Portrait checked as Default and under Exceptions, I have 'cprog' set to Portrait. My phone screen will rotate to Landscape mode for 1 second and then revert to Portrait. I do not want the phone screen to rotate at all. Thanks!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] br_shadow:
I have Blackstone and I have instaled the latest version (2.78). When my mobile is locked SkipScreen is still working and ignoring exception ( also rotates in Manila ), but only when locked. And it's irritating because when I talk on the phone and I change the position of my hand, it keeps vibrating in my ear. When it's not locked it doesnt do this, or when it's locked and the screen is black. So please fix this, it rotates when phone is locked and screen is on ( also when talking on phone ) thanks !

Fantastic App

Version 2.78

Working 100% flawlessly on my HD2 TMOUS with Elegancia GTX 2.5 ROM

I also tried the beta 2.79

Unfortunately, you can tell it is (or rather was, as the creator of this great app has been gone for quite a while now ... I hope he is OK) beta because I found quite a few bugs.

I do hope someone will take over the development of this great app. It won't be a lie if I say it can even become a paid app as it will be worth every penny

now I can have my Garmin Mobile XT rotated automatically when I rotate my phone, instead of using the Loader.exe. Now my Garmin Mobile XT in WM6.5 can rotate like Garmin of Nokia version.

Thanks for the great job!!!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rico ANDROID:
Trying to see if I remember how I did it. Did you go into the settings and chek or activate "on startup"?

First thing to do is turn on that default where the tool works on startup of your phone.

Next thing I did was clicked the button so to see all the names of all the program names as I navigate on the phone. At the bottom of the config screen click that "display name" button. It will then close and you will be back on your phone home screen.

Next youll see a white box and red letters. Jot down the name, then go to other screens that you want in landscape for example. Jot the names down.

When done, load changescreen again and this time select "add new rule"

Enter a rule, one for each of those screen names and then check the orientation box that u want that particular screen to be.

When done, close the app.

Now, I dont know about your phone, but if itworks, start navigating thru your phone and see if they load in the orientation you selected in creating the rule.

I have it on an HTC Tilt and I have ALL of my screens defaulted to landscape
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] M@JORHAZZARD:
Thankyou for the quick reply Rico i will try your suggestions and post the results :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wand_Camarell:
this works fine =)

does a config existit that when you rotatet the screen the wallpaper changes ? eg. for a more landscape wallpaper in landscapemode =)

i doesnt found anything in the search. theres a app called "WaPaC" but its only a time scheduled changer.

I only need to change the wallpaper on rotation =)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Hakim Rahman:

That was a good question and I never considered a different screen at each rotation. I will give this a try too.

Thnks for the question AND the answer;)

You sir, are just awesome! :highfive:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jeanfrederic:
Yep, but no.

I just re-created an antry for Opera9, with no check. Opera try to flip, but get back to portrait. If I check the 4 boxes, then Opera flip normally.

Seems there is no way back to origin for Opera?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Weird. Maybe a soft reset?

If there are no boxes checked changeScreen shouldn't even attempt to rotate opera at all...

If you don't have too many additional exceptions try resetting to defaults and saving...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Aussi:
My Dailer/phone screen still rotates even when I have 'cprog' in the exclude list

Is there maybe another name for it ? ( I installed a few skins over it )
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Its possible. Use the "Show App Names" button... if you need help with it I tried to explain it in detail in the help file...

Let me know...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Aussi:
Sorry :D but where can I find that help file :$?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Are you on version 2.1?

2.1 has a help tab which has a link on it (i think on the top) to the help file. Anything below 2.1 doesn't...

Bottom line tho click the "Show App Names" button and it will begin showing the names of the current app. Navigate to the app you want and whateven name is showed on the screen is the name you need to put in your exceptions. Go back into changeScreen config and press "Stop" and add the exception!

Hope that helps!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Aussi:
Still on version 1.54.

And nicely explained I get it now :D !

and it worked like charm !

Very nice app you made it really nice to handle like it better than most other apps that tilt the screen ! keep up the good work

Edit :

Is your app connected to apptodate? That would be nice 2 :D

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cerato:
600GOL, i am almost a pure user, with just enough knowledge not to brick my electronic devices (PC, PPC, TV set etc) :D, so i will appreciate if you make a comparison between your app, gyrator and flip_it. This will be useful not just for me, i think. Thanks in advance and for yr efforts to make our usage of ppc gadgets much easier. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kangburra:
Great stuff, thank you. I will give it a go :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Roupette:
Great Job, I love your app, so much lighter and easier to configure than Gyrator or GSen!!

Just one question : could we modify the acceletor sensitivity angles, because I have the impression that ChangeScreen believes too early that the Phone is in Face Up position though it's portrait and landscape.

...and as you know the screen does not rotate when it's in face up position so I have to put it really straight in order to permit the rotation.

(Sorry for my english).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Well... Gyrator is very "advanced" and has a lot of features. I only used it for a short period of time but from what I understand it works based on events... like device wakup or pen out, etc.

I created changeScreen as a personal application just so I could have something easy to configure without going through all of the things Gyrator throws at you... Then after a while I thought maybe some of the XDA people could use it too...

I didn't even know Flip-It existed up until some1 brought it up here a few days back. I glanced at the program and it seems really similar to changescreen as far as setup and exception handling. Different UI but overall pretty similar. I suppose the only way for you to know the difference is to either ask around or try them both out and see which one suits you better. Let us all know what you decide in the end!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Thanks! I'm looking into the angles which is actually why its taking so long to put out the 2.1 final version... I'll let everyone here know what I find...

REPORT!

Installed chngscrn-->found app names-->put them in except list-->saved-->enabled yr prog

Behavior

-On rotating some apps (word for exmple) screen rotates in desired direction but then closes and returns to TF3D.

-If i close some app in landscape mode, manila rotates as well (NB! Manila rotates only if the devise has not lies on its back i.e upright rotate position)

What I have on my ppc:

-sktools

-total commander

-hd tweak

-IPC calendar. IPC Dialer, IPC Calculator

-S2U2

-QIP for PDA

-Change screen

-Resco keyboard

-NETCF 3.5

Otherwise - very nice app :)

PS. I went through every app and prog in may device with yr tool SHOW APP NAME,entered it in except list checking desired positions and looks like eveything goes smoothly but the a/memntioned problem. Shall keep u informed if anything new happens. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cerato:
Thanks for the answer. :) Uninstalled flip_it today 'cause it seems not to always "understand" exceptions implemented by user. Today is my first day with yr app. :) Not so much of experience by now. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Try adding that app as an exception also with desired rotations... Don't know if it'll help but worth a try!

I'm guessing your manila has the portrait box checked? If it does then I'm aware of this issue and it'll will be fixed in the next release (sometime this week)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Cool, keep us informed!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cerato:
As for the first issue just forgot to make soft reset. :) Then it went well. Second issue remains. As i told you i inserted every app installed on the phone :) in the except list and checked "portrait" box if i didn't want it to rotate or respective angle boxes as per my rotation desire. I repeat that manila rotates if only the device is face up (lying on a table for example)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I know itll be a lot, but can you send me a copy of your "\Windows\changeScreen.config" file so I can have a look. Either email or PM. I'll see what I can do from there...

Thanks.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cerato:
Config text attached. Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Aussi:
I still sometimes have the problem that the manila screen rotates. Even tho it's in the exceptions list. It usually rotates when I just left the internet or when I get a alarm or something like that.

And the hard part is that it doesnt rotate back :(

Dont know if any one has had this problem?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cerato:
Did you check the "portrait" box of manila?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Aussi:
No I left them unchecked is it better to check it ?

I checked it. that worked fine :D But still somethings the manila screen wants to rotate :\

Edit2:

I found out that when the program is locked ( by windows locking system )

And you want to unlock it, it rotates the manila screen. anyone know how to exclude that?

Edit 3:

Sorry forgot the show app function

I found it by manualy locking it with a long press on the end key.

Mine is called 'gwes'

So that problem is solved 2 :D

Only thing I dont quiet like is that the programs list of windows is 'shell32' and also reminders and stuff is 'shell32'

So when you exclude shell32 it also exclude the programs list, settings list , etc to rotate.

Dont know if there is a way around that one
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Dude try this one... Sorry it took so long, that Word doc f'ed me up!

Anyway you really shouldn't leave the default all unchecked so I changed your config to something that I think may work for you. Give it a try and let me know...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
I'l look into it but as of now theres nothing you can do... I'll keep you posted!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Aussi:
I tried what cerato said. But it worked for a while but now I still have the problem that it sometimes rotates. for example when I have the screen turned checking the internet and then close it ( keep the screen turned ).

Then TF3D screen rotates

Is your device "face up" (lying down like on a desk) when this happens?

All the time? I mean when this error occurs is your device may be facing the ceiling? or the wall? Or close to facing the ceiling?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MJRL:
Why do you remove the option to choose "Only rotate the aplications in exception list" in latest versions?

In my opinion there are more apps we don't wont to rotate then the ones we want.

I'm using Leo rom that came with the last version, and have to install your older version on top :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
You can still set your device to do this with 2.1

You set your Default to "portrait" only and then add your exceptions with all boxes checked!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mitut:
Can u show me how for example i only want to rotate when i use sms. I try to but unsuccessful
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
First - Reset Defaults (on the Help tab) - just so we are starting from the same place. Plus you will need to keep some of the defaults in your list...

Second - Go to the General tab and UNCHECK the last 3 boxes for the Default rotation (Only the 1st or Portrait box should be checked)

Third - Go to the Exceptions tab and click the Add button. This will add a new exception to the list. You must name this exception (in the text box) tmail and then just check the desired rotations. If you want it to START in landscape ONLY check the landscape. If you would like it to rotate ANY direction check all the boxes for your tmail exception.

Hope that helps. Let me know...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mitut:
thank you very much :X :X it work well now ^^
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mitut:
hey it's not at that great. I only choose to rotate sms but when i finish sms at landscape mode and exit. My main today screen becomes in landscape mode and don't go back to potrait :((
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mitut:
and if i set my sms to landscape mode does it mean that when i start it it will be at landscape mode ?? cause it still appears first in potrait one at the beginning
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 600GOL:
Does your manila exception have the portrait box checked?

if you want it to OPEN in landscape you need to have ONLY the landscape (2nd) box checked on your tmail exception
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mitut:
i don't use touch flo i use shell32. And i already check shell32 with potrait and sms with landscape and potrait. But result is the same without cheking shell32

Another problem is for the first time i open the keyboard in landscape it disappear immediately but it then works fine
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Aussi:
Well I dont have the problem any more I guess. I've tried it a few times now but stays good.

So I will keep on tryin to find some lil bugs ;)
