XDA Exec Screen Rotate

Hi can anyone please tel me how to disable the screen rotate when i cange from laptop mode to PDA mode. I have the icon to change if i need to change but just wish to disable the automatic rotation of the screen when you rotate the screen
Thanks for any help

Only way I can think of is to remove the magnet inside the lcd section casing.

Thats a good idea, But there might be a registery hack to disable the switching.

Yea, can anyone come up with a solution for that - it is a nice feature, but can get quite annoying, specially with the time it takes to rotate the screen.

Landscape view without keyboard open (auto-rotate)

Is it a possibility to show landscape view when my device's orientation is initiated via either auto rotation (i use gyrator) or through a shortcut (like assigned to a button). As far as i know the landscape page only pops up when you slide the keyboard open but i would like it to show also when i turn my device sideways initiating the auto rotate function from gyrator..

I get landscape view just fine when i'm using gyrator, so i'm not sure why you wouldn't be getting it.

Did you create an event for it? When I rotate the screen with Gyrator then it always ends up in portrait version of TF3D (rotated by 90 degrees) which is messed up.
When you rotate your TP do you get the landscape version of TF3D?

you can also set a long press of the phone key to cause a screen rotation manually: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1200

yah that's what I get not the 8 button view like the hardware keyboard causes when slid open

so nobody solved this problem yet ? I would like to use auto rotate too but still with no succes...

[Q] Stop the WM Default lock screen from rotating?

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?

keep portrait start screen when landscape docked?

I have been using my the docking station for my titan and am loving it however when docked the start screen remains "sideways" as well as hubs and index search.
rather than a question about landscape mode because maybe that functionality isn't programmed or possible. Is there a way to rotate the start screen to portrait facing me while the phone is docked landscaped? I can picture a huge black bar or empty space off to the right which is fine.
are there any registry edits maybe out there or?

I don't believe anybody has found a way to force the Start screen into landscape mode. This is true even with those Windows phones that have landscape slide-out keyboard (which normally force the phone into Landscape mode while the keyboard is out). I see no evidence of support for a landscape start screen in anything that I've yet seen of WP7.

force display rotation while docked

Does anyone know how to force the TF700 display to rotate while docked?

Okay. Now, (actually related), how can I force the soft keyboard to display...while the hardware keyboard is still docked?

Change the input method, I believe. I'm currently updating to 10.4.4.20, but I have mine in the dock all the time, so I'll double check in a few minutes.

Thank you.
I did try to change the input method and even turning off the physical keyboard on the slider switch (input method switch.) For one thing, turning off the physical keyboard doesn't seem to do anything, that is, the keyboard works just fine even if it is "switched off".
I don't care whether the physical keyboard is on or off. I just need to use the soft keyboard. If I'm using the tablet in portrait mode (forced), while docked, then I would need to use the soft keyboard or else learn to type sideways...rather...on a keyboard that is sideways to my orientation since I am using the tablet in portrait. (whew!)
Does that make sense?

For keeping the landscape mode while at the dock, I use the app "ultimate rotation control" together with tasker. Their collaboration allows my TF700 (and previously TF201) to do it automatically. The trick is detecting if there is a power coming in, as the dock mostly will charge the pad.
And to let the on-screen keyboard stay appearing, you can try Keyboard Manager. I use this app to automatically switch to my international keyboard, but you can set it following your goal there. For this app, you will need root access.
Good luck trying.

this is how I did it on mine and it works fine.
Settings->Language & Input -> default- switch off "Hardware physical keyboard.
Now open some thing and try to type you should see the softkeyboard popup. If you download "screen orientation" app. After installed, you will see a little icon on your notification, you will have the option to switch to portrait mode with portrait keyboard layout.

I tried turning off the physical keyboard again and this time the soft keyboard popped right up. It works!
Thank you! Just what I needed!

I use this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate
for rotation control, since it provides both global and per-app settings. That really rocks!

I have this downloaded, and my TF201 still overrides it when the dock is plugged in. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Try this one, work well with dock, called screen orientation control : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsImpwLmVmbG93LnV0aWwucm90YXRpb24iXQ.. and the nice thing is it's in the notification for fast access.

Same thing, as soon as I plug in the dock, the screen goes upside down.

You should plug the dock in, screen should be in landscape mode, now download and install the app. Once done, there're 3 settings, Off= auto rotation, landsacape=landscape and portrait=portrait. now with the dock attached and if you want to go into portrait mode, first turn your device first then enable portrait mode. (if you don't do this in the order, it's going to be backward/upsidedown)

Hmmmm. I don't think that works the way I want it to. Reading upside down is hard (unit upside down, dock installed), reading sideways is impossible (unit upside down, text sideways, dock installed)! I'm not wanting portrait mode, I want reversed landscape. Reversed landscape seems to be the only mode that is disabled?!?!?!?

If possible, please provide screen shots, the app is working fine for everyone....

I gave up, and just tied the dock to the bottom of the tablet. No need for any software that way, just didn't want to do that, because the connections isn't that sturdy. I was very careful with the pressure, and I think it'll be OK.
Wow, the ethernet connection (even going thru the USB) is WAY faster than the wireless!

sorry for coming in this late in the thread after my first response, but Rotate provides any rotation mode I can think of (including Reverse Landscape, Reverse Portrait, etc.)
As for the Transformer line still overriding the app: yes, they *seem* to. However, setting the per-app setting (available on Pro), you can have any app rotate any way you want. I use Mantano in portrait mode while on the train commute, holding the TF700 like a book with the screen on the right, and if I want to read in bed lying on my side, I enable Reverse Portrait while on my right side, and keep it Portrait when on my left (hope that made sense a bit).
Oh, and EDIT: Rotate provides ALL rotation options in a quickmenu right from the notification tray icon.

I cannot find an app which will allow "reverse landscape" when my TF700 is docked.
I have tried:
"Ultimate Rotation Control" the best of the group, and even has a dock override function -- unfortunately that feature does work for me while docked.
"Screen Orientation Control" also does not override when docked.
"Screen Rotation Control" same, no dice when docked.
"Rotation Anywhere" doesn't have a reverse landscape mode.
"Rotation Lock Adaptive" no good for me either.
I have not tried:
"Orientation Control" I would certainly spring for the $1.49 if there were anyone who could confirm that it can do "reverse landscape" when docked.
My desired functionality is actually for HDMI out. I have a projector which I would like to ceiling mount, but cannot invert its own image. Thus, I'm trying to find a way to flip the image of the HDMI out.
Any advice on "Orientation Control" or to flip the HDMI out video signal much appreciated!
Thanks.
