Diamond Pro - fantastic piece of kit. I moved from Diamond to the Pro and have been happy with one exception that is beginning to drive me bonkers. I'm wondering if I'm the only one effected by this but essentially here's the issue:
* Reboot Diamond
* Pop out keyboard
* Select text or any other app
* Start typing... screen pops into portraits...
* Screen pops back into landscape
* Screen pops into portrait
* Screen pops into landscape
I have tried rebooting and I have also tried a few other ROMs to no avail - I'm thinking I could have some defective hardware - possibly the switch is not cleanly connecting to tell the DP that the unit has the keyboard out. The lighting on the keyboard comes off then goes off and then the other hardware buttons come on (normal portraits buttons.)
This problem is driving me insane as I cannot actually type something without the screen changing orientation. THE REAL SCREWED PART IS SOMETIMES IT WORKS FINE... then... just when I think the problems gone... BAM! Back to the jerky portrait dance in landscape keyboard mode! aarrgh!
I have tried pushing the left side of the keyboard up with my fingers while I type and this occassionally will actually stop the unit from switching back and forth (leading me to believe that it is a contact or defect with the piece that lets the unit know it's in landscape.)
Q: I'd like to avoid doing a general return replacement as I have flash the ROM and cannot find the original Telus ROM to reflash the unit to it's original state - anyone tried cracking a DP yet and and anyone with experience know if something like this issue can be fixed with some simple poking around?
Q: I searched the forum - didn't find this issue before - anyone else have this issue?
After doing some more testing...
It appears this ONLY happens when I use the hardware keyboard. Using soft keys in portrait mode works seamlessly... when I tap the hardware keys the portrait to landscape switching starts.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has noticed this 'bug' with the keyboard backlight staying On, even in the 'closed' position?
I noticed it when looking at my touch pro side-on in dim light, and finally figured out how to replicate.
It basically seems to happen if you open/close the keyboard a few times without waiting for the 'lag' in the screen to catch up and change from landscape to portrait. The keyboard light will remain on even after being slid closed, and even after the machine is put into sleep mode!
It is sometimes fixed by opening the keyboard, letting the screen 'catch up', and then closing it again. But sometimes, this does not work. You have to open the keyboard, hit a key to make the machine realize that the keyboard is open, and then close it again.
I'm running the Australian 1.94 original ROM, and I noticed this both before and after using the SlideWakeup tweak for the keyboard.
Hey guys,
I upgraded my ROM (Asian ROM) from 1.9xx.xxx (don’t remember what it is) to the latest 5.07.831.2 last night from the HTC HK site. ( I bought mine in Hong Kong)
After upgrading, TF3D still switches from Portrait to Landscape mode when I open the keyboard.
However, when I close the keyboard, the screen (TF3D) remains in Landscape. The only way I can switch from Landscape -> Portrait is to turn the screen off and turn it back on.
Any ideas on which registry settings might be causing this? Is it a ROM issue or could it be a registry conflict issue since I imported my old registry settings?
Thanks a lot.
Just wanted to add that I think the keyboard is also an, if not at issue
- Keyboard will awake phone when slid open
- Keyboard is active and will type
- Screen just doesn’t respond to being open/closed
Also, I tried using the Standard WM Today screen and the opposite happened: orientation does not change when I open the keyboard.
When the keyboard is open in both TF3D and WM Today Screen, the directional arrows function in landscape mode (down key moves downward instead of to the left. Up key moves upwards instead of to the right).
Nothing on this?
Okay... perhaps an odd question here... I'm running my Touch Pro2 with a default ROM and the default Windows Mobile lock screen. Here's my problem... I carry it in a holster that has a magnetic closure. When I pull it out of the holster the magnetic sensor in the phone thinks the keyboard was opened and rotates the display to landscape. After a few seconds it realizes the keyboard is not open and rotates back to portrait.
The issues is that I need to wait two-four seconds for this process to complete before I can use my phone. Granted, that isn't a HUGE time, but it is annoying. It won't register me attempting to slide it unlock when it's in landscape because it's thinking about going back to portrait. It would be nice to just force it to stay in portrait regardless of whether the keyboard is open or not. But of course the kicker is that it's only the lock screen that I want to act like this. Other programs should still swap to landscape if the keyboard opens.
Anyone have a clue how to do this?
Hello!
I'm experiencing some problems with my o2 Touch Pro.
Hardware buttons on the bottom of the phone (d-pad, home, back, call, end call) are not working properly (they work fine only 20% of the time, it's random i guess).
When i press "call" button, device responds as if i pressed the "left" button. It's very annoying. The circle used to zoom in, and out around the "enter" button is problematic as well. It zooms - but but in a very chatoic way - a bit of of zoom in, then zoom out, another zoom in. Functions are just messed up.
Another time, it's all working...
How can i fix it? Is it a hardware problem?
I'm using the Energy Rom - titanium version.
Thanks for your help in advance...
Honestly, if you can't deal with it, get another device. Either that or stick with the stock ROM, less problematic (you can also keep the full function of the d-pad) but then again it may introduce other issues. Someone mentioned this being more a hardware than a software issue. Since I cannot reproduce this on my at&t Fuze, that is all I can suggest on my end.
I get some of that with my fuze; mostly, the d-pad doesn't read gestures properly. If I run compact heaps (from sk tools) periodically, it helps. Soft resetting obviously helps as well. I think it's more of a hardware issue. My problems have definitely gotten worse over time. You can also check out this tool (from an HTC test rom dump; can't remember where I got it). It's a debugger for the d-pad. At least you can see how accurately the button presses and gestures work.
Thanks.
Good morning,
For several weeks I have been observing and unfortunately the problem appears more and more often, the disappearance of the touch of the display ...
I am right-handed, so I use the phone a lot with my right hand on the right edge - at the height of my thumb, the connection between the keyboard and the communicator, once in a while my touch in the area of the p/0 and park buttons above - also other keyboard buttons do not work properly, keys next to it.
I use Swiftkey but never had a problem with it - could it be the keyboard that's the problem?
hardware issue, send it in for RMA asap
RMA u mean to samsung support?
Hi,
Samsung support is very stubborn (compared to dell which is very pro-customer).
I received the following advice:
1. Turn off the phone, enter the android menu and clear the cache - done.
2. Through samsung members, attach the error log from the phone and report the problem - I did.
I wonder what Samsung's next steps will be.
I have had the phone since October 22.
The problem with the screen appears more and more often.
*video* In the attachment I leave a video that scrolling (of a previously loaded page) just at the moment when the display goes crazy - as you can see (touch trace) I try to scroll in a classic way by moving my finger on the screen, but the page moves only as much as I move my finger, as if something somewhere causes an additional touch to stop scrolling. As you can see in the next part of the video, it improves for a while and then the same thing again.
Anyone had similar? How did it end?
Thanks greetings.
