Sup,
Just curious, is there any way to change the screen to landscape on startup? Meaning when the device is turned on, it will be in landscape and you can switch to portrait any time with that bottom bar button.
I googled this and found nothing. There was that registry in GDI Rotation Angle, but it did nothing and resetted on reset.
Thanks for your help.
Hi,
there is a way to do this, I have done it some ROMs ago. You have to disable one device. I had done it with a process manager tool from this forum. I don't know the device right now but I will search for it and post it here.
its OEM_Misc.dll device.
usually identified as " MIS1: ". stop this device and automatic screen rotation will be disabled.
it worked but then the screen shut off and i hit the power button and it was restarting
any ideas?
thanks

I have the following little problem with WM6. Every time i press the "power button" on my device, WM6 returns to the today screen. What i really want is, that it stays in the last application which was open before i switched the device off.
This behavior is especially annoying when i use tools like "ScreenOff" which does nothing else but turns the screen off (the programs are running further). This is useful when it comes to mp3 listening or something like that. But when i press the power button to turn the screen on again there is no mp3 playing application but the today screen.
Can anyone tell me where to change that behavior?
whats the today timeout set to in settings->today->items ?
It is activated and set to 8hr.
You need to disable the password lock in Security settings. This will mean that a password will NOT be required to unlock the phone upon restart or after the pre-determined timeout.
With the password lock disabled, every time you power up your phone, it will be at the last application you had open.
I already have the password lock disabled. So that can not be the problem.
If you are using the today screen battery meter there is an option for it to do that. Annoyed the hell out of me till I disabled it.
Thank you, thank you!!!

Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange problem with my Tornado (i-mate SP5, WM6 Platinum Edition). Today it stopped working suddenly, I had to remove the battery. When rebooting, the i-mate sceen appears, then the HTC logo, then Nitrogenius' splashscreen, then a beep sounds, and afterwards the screen is black and nothing happens, no keys are responding. I can "switch off" the phone by long pressing of the power key. Reset with pressing the 2 soft keys and the starting key does not work, the phone starts until the splashscreen and afterwards the screen goes black. Strangely I can connect the phone with activesync, synchronize contacts and calendar and even explore the device with activesync's filemanager; and the battery is charging, too.
Any suggestions except reflashing?
Regards

Thanks for the hint, I tried, but unfortunately I seem to miss something. Could you elaborate a bit how you managed to switch on backlight.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: It worked! You made my day!
After pressing the keys you mentioned (and some others, too) and after rebooting again the backlight is on again. Thanks a lot!
I met the same problem in many cases and I found the culprit, it is tornadolowlight or tornadopowercontrol. while these appli are activating if I soft reset or by force restart (removing battery) then next startup will get a blank screen. But actually in this case the device is on and working only thing is its backlight is off. So, by using a torch light or simply using MyMobiler from a pc you can see the screen, and start that culprit appli then done
OR another thing I have done is I put shortkey for MultiFlashLight and whenever such situation happened I just press the shortkey and activated it and done
I would like my phone to autolock when I push the on/off button. I know that Diamond Tweak has this option and it works. However, there is a BIG problem that I can't figure out how to solve.
When autolock is enabled, the screen backlight is on very dim when the phone is turned back on, regardless of the backlight settings. I do NOT have 'autobacklight' on. After unlocking, the backlight stays dim no matter what happens. The only way to get the backlight back to a higher setting is to go into backlight settings and move the slider before it readjusts. The odd thing is the backlight setting is set to a bright setting but is being ignored. This happens on every ROM i have tried. Obviously this is quite annoying and inconvenient.
Anyone know why the autolock function completely overides the backlight settings? Anyone know how to fix this?
TIA!
this happened to me when i manually made teh reg tweak. go to settings personal lock and set the time to lock to 0 minutes. this should accomplish the same thing
EDIT: do you mean just the screen lock? cuz i've been trying to do the same thing but no one could help
+1 on this problem.
Each time the screen locks the backlight does not come back on when unlocked again. The only way seems to go into the backlight settings and change it which seems to re-enable the backlight. Does not seem to matter whether I manually powersave the device or let the powersave kick in automatically.
I am using Energy Rom W6.5 for Raphael. Am using the old Windows Default screen lock app (i.e. not the new WM6.5 screenlock).
Does anyone know how to set the backlight to switch back on after an unlock?
Have trawled the forums/Google with no success.
Thx!
I spotted this on the at&t user forums. It's for the Kaiser/Tilt/8925, but wondering if the same "fix" could be applied?
I have the same issue. If the screen "wakes up" most of the time it is dim,
and I have to hit the on/off button to get it bright enough to see the screen.
I have been experiencing a similar issue. My Tilt doesn't just dim the screen, is actually goes into sleep mode (black screen) after about 15 seconds. I called HTC directly and was told that in addition to the backlightfix.cab available on the HTC web site, they have a second file for people like us who aren't helped by that file.
In order to obtain the alternative fix, you must contact HTC e-mail support and describe the problem. They will then e-mail the new fix to you. You can e-mail HTC support here: http://www.htc.com/us/cs_mail.aspx. Hope this helps!

I've been searching the raphael forum for a solution and haven't come across anybody who has experienced this problem let alone how to fix it. When I restart my Fuze or load a new rom the device defaults to landscape mode and has to be manually set to portrait.When I slide open the keyboard the screen stays the same. The keyboard is another issue. The backlight doesn't come on and the keys are unresponsive. When I boot into Android the Screen defaults to landscape and the keyboard backlights turn on (and never turn off) but the keys are still inactive. Does anyone know a solution?
hi all
ive checked alot of forums and threads and cant seem to get a 100% answer.
i love my defy, however since its got a physical button on top that turns on the unit, and then to turn off the screen u click it again. simple
it may sound picky, but i dont want to click the power button to turn off, also i dont wanna wear out the power button.
ive tried plenty of apps that do "screen off" function however they just lock the defy instead of turning off the screen.
just wanted to know is it possible to have no lock screen for android?
ive found a good app called "invisible lock widget" which is a hidden icon that u click to lock. is it possible to make it just turn off screen.
or does anyone have suggestions please???
Btw this probably should be in general . .. .
Froyo's 'slide to unlock screen' cant be turned off easily from a settings option.
Anywho, the way around it is this https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock.
"No Lock", which can be found in Market, can disable the lock screen.
I'm using a Chinese app 一键锁屏, which can turn off the screen by a tap on the icon. But it requires root.
I use "No Lock", works great
thanks all
thanks all for your replies.
i have tried "no lock" before i posted this thread. ive tried alot of those no lock screen apps and none of them do what i want.
when i use no lock, it just stops me from using any app that can turn off screen.
well, i guess there cant be much done.
if anyone else has any advice it would be much appreciated, other wise thank you all.
I'm not sure I've read this thread correctly but I'm quite happy for the screen to time out and turn off the screen, but I don't want to have to swipe to turn it back on. pressing the power button should be the only action. to revive the homescreen.
would no lock achieve this?

the thing i want to do is make it so that i can turn off my phone with an icon instead of using the power button. i found apps to do that however they dont turn off my screen, instead they lock my phone so the screen is still on but locked.
i just want it to turn off as if i was using my power button.
"no lock" app stops my phone from going into lock screen at all, however it stops all the other apps from functioning.
maybe if i could change the time that the lock screen stays on would be good enough for me.

When the screen is turned off, most apps will be stopped by design of the android system. Do you mean "no lock" turns off screen and some apps which the power button doesn't? Can you name some of these apps?

but from what ive read other androids like sgs it works fine yet for my defy it doesnt.
does anyone else have that problem?
