I have the AT&T branded Fuze in my case, and occasionally when I'm browsing/navigating in Opera in portrait mode, the screen will flip to landscape, only 'upside down' landscape (i.e. 180 degree flip from the landscape you'd see if you slide the keypad out). Usually I end up having to do a soft reset to get it to go back to normal.
I've tried doing a search on this issue via the forums here but couldn't find anyone else mentioning this. Has anyone else encountered this and/or know what might be causing it so I can at least try to avoid it happening?
Me too...
I have been using the HTC Fuze for the past week, and this is the main issue i am having and i cannot seem to find a way to resolve this issue.
I have had this issue almost non-stop, every time i put it in my pocket.
I have searched for the solution / fix / problem and have come up with nothing except 'recalibrate'. (which actually worked once)
Any thoughts, solutions for dealing with a flipped orientation fuze would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon

I'm facing the same problem. It seems to be related only to the german ROM, as nobody else here is reporting a similar problem. Here are two work arounds I found so far:
- open a video with windows media player. Somehow this initializes the video driver in a way that the black parts do not occur anymore. However, if you close the app, the black parts occur again. So you have to keep the app in the background
- Set HKLM\System\GWE\PORepaint to 2. If the device is turned on, all windows are redrawn. This removes all black parts. However, this only works if the device has been turned off for a couple of seconds (3 or more)
Hope that helps!
today i noticed an odd issue with the lights on the navicap on my TP, When the screen switches off the lights on the navicap stay illuminated (The home, back, answer and hangup buttons) the light round the dpad/scroll wheel dont light up tho, i dont know how long this has been going on though as i have only just noticed it
does anyone know why this mite happen or any ideas to solve it
cheers
I also can confirm this issue.
Seems to happen only when the light has been activated in landcape mode.
I can recreate this failure every time I reply to a SMS:
Slide open keyboard
Keyboard and navipad lights come on
Reply to sms
Press power button
...and tada! The light is stuck on
The light will go off if I press the center dpad button before I turn off the device, or if I turn back on the device and tap the button.
This problem has followed me through 3 ROMs: the stock ATT Fuze ROM, the new ATT ROM, and an older EnergyROM (8/11/09, not sure which version anymore).
I can also confirm that this problem exists across multiple phones running stock software. My first Fuze had this problem, my current Fuze has this problem, and my friend's Fuze does too. Very odd.
Not a showstopper, but I figure it's the only annoyance I really have to put up with day to day, now that I've got the phone configured the way I like it.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
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!
Did anyone here notice that the screen rotates from landscape to portrait mode every time the Phone Dialer appears? Like for instance, when you short press Send (Dial) Key or when you get an incoming call?
I have tried so many differend ROMs I don't even know which one I have installed now. The described behaviour was the same on all of them.
Is there any way to fix this? I have tried 'auto rotate' but it just looks silly: when i get incoming call, the screen first rotates to portrait, then 'auto rotate' rotates it back to landscape and I can't answer the call during all this rotating going on
You probably need to flash back to stock or do a MTTY Task 29 then flash a custom ROM, sounds like you have some residual affects from previous flashes.
Thanks, I guess this is the only thing left to do. I assume you didn't notice this behaviour with your Topaz? The phone app also has other bugs, like the button "Save to contacts" does nothing...
Does it stay in landscape mode? or does it only do if for a second or less and then switch back to portrait? I recall having a similar problem on one of mine... I just did a hard reset tho and that fixed it for me.
If auto rotate is turned on it rotates back to landscape (but ti takes more than a second), else it stays in portrait mode. It's good to know hard reset (better with format) really is the solution. I will try it when I find some time.
I'm have a weird issue. Sometimes when I do certain things, like unlock my screen, or go to the dialer, my screen is rotated into landscape. I need to tilt my phone landscape and then back to portrait to get it to reset. I'm not sure why it's doing this. Anyone else having this issue?
Not a huge issue, just annoying.
