anyone found any that work in landscape?
i tried a few nice looking ones but both mess up once rotated its quite annoying
no one else uses it?
anyoneeeeee?
I have one that I liked and had the same problem. What I did was to use the phone in landscape and set the background. Then, when I switched it back to portrait it was good, and when I open the keyboard its still good.

Hello Touch Pro owners,
I'm sure this question has been asked, and I'm sorry if it has, but...
one of the things that drives me crazy with the Hermes is the glitchy landscape view. Sometimes while in landscape, it decides to switch back to portrait, and sometimes doesn't go into landscape at all. If you were a Hermes user, you know what i'm talking about. I was hoping 6.1 would fix that, but is hasn't.
Do any of you have issues with the Touch Pro?
I surely didn't, when the keyboard was open it went to landscape and stayed there, and when it slid closed it popped back to portrait and stayed there as well. Same for applications, turn the device sideways it flips, turn it back it flips back.. Not 1 issue.

Actually, I don't; I'm still using my 8525, waiting for the "Fuze," and I don't recall ever seeing anything like that in the 19 months I've had it. I think you have a bum unit.
Have you applied new themes and customization tools (like Diamond Config)? Mine was perfect until I started applying a lot of the themes and tweaks. Now I'm having that issue. I plan on loading a cooked ROM once my travel is done. In the mean time, I have found it easier to use the virtual keyboard.
Don't think it's a bum unit, I've had a few and it's the same. I think it's most likely the shells I load. (spb and now the TF2d). I usually don't tweak and never OC the unit. But I do occassionaly load a cooked Rom, and I see the same things.
For example: I'll be emailing or texting in landscape, if I get any kind of alert, it switches to portrait and sticks there until I close it then open it again.
It's not a big deal, I've been dealing with it for awhile and still love the 8525, but Im upgrading to the Pro in a few weeks and I'm hoping I wont see this. I just expect the unit to be locked in landscape when the keyboard is pulled out no matter what shell I'm using, especially tf2d or 3d.
Happy New year everyone!
I have a problem that I could not find an answer to by doing a search. When I try to access my email folders in landscape mode I can see the folders but no words. (I can see the inbox folder but it does not say inbox next to it). Near some of the folders it looks as if all of the letters of the folder names have been place one on top of each other. It almost looks like a Chinese symbol. Sometime this is right next to the folder other times it is all the way across the screen. When the phone is in the portrait mode everything is fine. It is as if the screen isn't drawing properly.
I hope this make sense and I hope i am using the proper terms. Please go easy on me as I am new to this phone and really don't understand some of the thinks on this forum.
Thanks for any advice you might have!!!
I am seeing the same problem on my Fuze, but pretty much on everything that's text when I look at stuff in landscape mode.
When I try to enter text, the input box shows the cursor moving, but no characters show up. If I then close the keyboard, everything I typed is there in portrait mode. And I also see the jumble of text sometimes where there is a single "smudge" and the letters look like they're on top of each other.
This is VERY annoying, and I can't figure it out. I've only owned the Fuze about a week, but it seems to me it worked fine when I got it. It's as if I have installed some software (or perhaps it's one of the customization tools - I've run both Diamond Tweak and Diamond TF3D Config) that wiped out the fonts required for landscape mode.
The other thing is, it doesn't happen ALL the time, only about 80%. The rest of the time it works as it should.
Any help or ideas would be most welcome. If I can't see text entry in landscape mode, the flip out keyboard becomes useless, and I may as well have bought the thinner Touch Diamond.
I had this problem when I enabled ClearType in landscape mode...try to look at it if you have it enabled..and if so, disable it...
Thanks, that seems to have worked.
Is there a separate setting for landscape mode somewhere, or just the master ClearType on-off in Settings...Screen?
it's in Advanced Config or Diamont Tweak ..not sure, but one of it has that option
Tried that, and also modifying the registry directly, and neither worked. If the "main" ClearType setting is on in Settings...Screen, text in landscape mode is illegible no matter what else I do. The system seems to ignore the registry setting for turning it off in landscape mode.
While turning ClearType off does work, it's annoying to have to do it because the text in portrait mode looks so much better with it on. Oh well. I guess it's a bug in WinMobile 6.1.
In any case thanks for the quick response. I did a search in the forums here, and this is apparently a well know bug with no available workaround for the moment.
hmm, mine is working correctly...when I open Screen options in landscape, ClearType is Off and cannot be set to On...and in Portrait mode, it can be turned Off
DiamondTweak > 17.7 try that...if it doesn't work..hmm...flash ROMeOS or other ROM

On mine, screen options in landscape mode has cleartype set to "on" and cannot be turned off. It's grayed out. It follows the setting in portrait mode - if I turn it off there, it's off in landscape, if I turn it on there, it's on in landscape.
Tried DiamondTweak, made no difference.
ADDENDUM: Well, SOMETHING made a difference, because once I reset the thing, it now acts as you describe - I have ClearType on in portrait, and off in landscape. Woohoo!
Thanks much!
Home screen and dialer etc I don't mind staying in portrait but for everything else than can be displayed in landscape I'd like it if it can be displayed and locked in landscape. Preferably with out having to gain root.
I like landscape and I also like reading (sideways) in bed, which makes auto rotate a nuisance.
Can anybody help?

That would be awesome
+1 at least in the browser and home screen. maybe after we get root (fingers crossed).

It does the opposite of what you want, locks everything portrait. Very handy IMO.

how about landscape mode lock. this would be great its one of the reasons i miss my g1. searched allover for a hack and it seems iphone/behold.. users are wishing for the same. ive noticed it stays in landscape when rotated to the left (counter clockwise) but 45 degrees to the right and it goes to portrait (very annoying for bedtime surfing) not to mention the glitchy laggy transition back to landscape. we know there is an orientation check box under display setting, but thanx for the widget tip 'linhnd'..not
Been available for jailbroken iphones for over a year now. This would be great app to have and I would love to see developers and modders make more fixes like this , things that improve the functionality of Android.
is this dead or maybe this guy can do it
Cyanogen 4.0.1 rom has landscape mode at the home screen.
k well at least we have landscape lock in the browser tx to loccy and cyan..happy surfing
Who would like to see an automatic switching of keyboard types when moving from portrait to landscape?

If it could happen FAST I suppose I might, but seems like there would be a relatively noticable delay in switching from one to the other unless you had some kind of mash up of code from both. (judging by how long it takes to switch from htc_ime to stock). granted it's not much, but if I have to wait 2-3 seconds for my keyboard when i switch to landscape I personally wouldn't use it.
Personally, I would very much like to use Swype in portrait mode but HTC IME in landscape mode. There's something about Swype in landscape mode that doesn't work well... you wanna use two hands but just can't.
Tutech hit the nail. I would like to see the same please.
hello,, is there a possiblity to make hd2 do a lanscape mode on either direction? i mean if you turn left it will landscape and if you turn right it will also lanscape.. many thanks
PS; i mean landscape left or right for sms, mails, note, internet, photos, musics,etc.... thanks again!!
Are you talking about the home screen? I have tried looking but cannot get it to work. XT Hack Beta2 has an option for manilla rotation (homescreen) but when i enable it and turn the phone it just goes black. Also with this enabled the lanscape scrolling of pictures and music tracks are messed. I like the idea of having the homescreen rotation enabled (and mayb all the other tabs except music and pictures coz they have it already). Maybe you have to have a wallpaper in landscape option like in the HDWalls add-on for the HD2 (but i dont think that is compatible with CHT 1.7.1). Hope someone can figure it out
THIS seems to work well.
But also has many other features. May be more then you want, but has some nice rotation functions.
yes, there is an application that makes this happen i am sure... I used one before called changescreen, I think that it does what you want.
give it a try...
