Tried changescreen but it will not change to landscape.
In landskape it will blink for a half second and go back to default.
Any idea?
For some reason changescreen ONLY works if i have TF3D2 tweak an enable landscape...
If i disable TF3D2 tweak or uninstall it,changescreen will not go in landscape.
Anyone else got problem with changescreen?
changescreen doesnt work for me also...
ended up using the registry tweak

Changescreen is "pooling" app. It means that it is running in background and checking G-Sensor every X seconds. This consumes CPU power (and decreases a little battery time).
There is other app - Flip It. It does the same but is installed as Windows Service. It uses less resources and as I've seen is not pooling G-Sensor but it's hooking to G-Sensor rotation event.
Just wondering if anyone has encoutered a problem with the screen turning itself off. It is not a settings issue but the screen randomly turns itself off in the middle of being used so i am guessing it mght be something to do with the light sensor perhaps?
Well if anyone else has the same problem or can offer some sort of explanation i would be very interested to hear about it.
Thanks in advance
i think this might be related to autolock. if you have that enabled, disable the screen dimming and let it turn off after say 2 minutes. then you should be ok.

I've had a similar issue recently - suddenly the screen started to switch off after 30 seconds without use, no matter what settings I configured in the energy system settings. No explanation, probably a bug in the 6.1 stock ROM. (I'm on another ROM now...)

Ditto.
Own ROM 6.1 (nothing special - really just Google maps and teeter removed)
Apps:
4 Column Start Menu.cab
FdcSoft TaskMgr 3.1.cab
GoogleMaps.CAB
GpsCycleComputer_3.114.CAB
htcAddicts cleanRAM v1.6.cab
MobileTweet.CAB
NETCFv35.cab
NetworkPlugin_1_0_30468_1.CAB
PocketShield.CAB
rar.ppc_arm.cab
SoftReset_Suspend.CAB
same here. tried some reg tweaks but none disabled poweroff after 30 seconds
it happens to me every time after i use igo8,
so my solution is to go to the MANILA power setting (not the default windows setting) and turn DIM off.
cannot find manila power settings. where are they?

i have Tom's 6.5 rom so when i goto regular settings it takes me to manila style setting & not the default one.
I have that problem to ?
I have a 6.1 windows, what can I do to deal with this problem ?
Thankx
in power settings enable & disable dim it will fix this but only till next time... i do it after every time i use igo8.
this is especially annoying when using the topaz as hard disk or navigating via tomtom. hope they will bring out a fix soon.
Think my problem was slightly similar as I was using the original shipped ROM. Well phone is with HTC now in for screen repair so hopefully the problem will be solved.
I'm guessing it was probably down to an install of some 3rd party application. anyway will repost after i get my td2 back tomorrow

Hi, Got my phone back recently with this from HTC.
Problem Description: 1. Touch Panel Function abnormality
Repair Description: 1. Diagnosis
2. Replace SUB ASSY, Bezel w/touch window pre-Assy
3. Function Test
All working ok so far!
Continuing my quest of using the LED as flashlight for my new HD2, I updated TorchButton to support the HD2 as well.
Dropped your keys? Finding something behind the bench? Performing surgery on a computer and need to find that jumper on the mainboard?
This is a simple application built for some HTC devices that have a hardware LED, normally used to take pictures in the dark. However I found the LED to be perfect to be used as a handy pocket flashlight.
Usage
There is no GUI for this application. Just start TorchButton to enable the LED on the back of your device. Start TorchButton again to turn it off.
Check out the readme if you're an advanced user and wish to change some registry settings, i.e. to allow a longer maximum time the LED is enabled.
Known issues
- [Fixed] New icons are not working when TorchButton is installed to Storage Card
Todo
- Create an app to configure the registry settings
- See if support for Omnia Pro (B7610) is feasible (someone should send me the related dlls...)
- [Done] Add a seperate timeout for bright mode
- [Done] Add blink mode with bright led
- [Done] Use new icons provided by tnyynt
- [Done] Add support for Omnia (the one found here)
- [Impossible] See if it's possible to control leds seperately ('economic mode') Sorry, this is not possible. (Tech-talk: setting a single GPIO enables both LEDs. There doesn't seem to be a GPIO for each LED seperately.)
Wishful thinking
- Camera app to interpret the morse
History
Version 2.3
- Fix icons not showing in HTC Sense or WM 6.5 start menu when installed to Storage Card.
Version 2.2
- New icons for all TorchButton apps (thanks tnyynt!). These only work in WM6.5 and up. Older OS's will still see the old icons.
- Added registry setting to use bright setting in blink mode (see BlinkUsesBrightMode).
- Bright mode now has a seperate timeout, configurable in registry (see BrightModeTimeout).
- Added support for Samsung Omnia i9x0 devices (hopefully they all work). Thanks to raph/zemrwhite2/PaSSoA. Thanks to Chainfire for testing on his Omnia i900L.
- [edit] Shortcut names have changed. I found them nicer this way, no two-line icons. And the text is now also not cut-off when added as shortcut in the home screen.
- [edit] Improved handling of bright mode. It should stop immediately now when pressed again, instead of waiting for a 500ms interval. This makes BlinkUsesBrightMode possible combined with low intervals for blink mode.
- [edit] Soft-reset your phone after upgrading from an older version! Else the new icons will not show.
Version 2.1
- Bright mode is now support on the HTC HD2 (Leo).
- Added a one-time warning message when bright mode is used for the first time.
Version 2.0
- Initial version with support for the HTC HD2 (Leo) (bright mode is not supported on the Leo)
Version 1.x
- Support for the Touch Pro
Dont think about something. Untill i read your post. This could be handy sometimes. Thnx
Awesome man I was just thinking how I missed that
Btw what's missing for bright mode to work? If I'm not mistaken there is a brighter mode just before taking a pic.
Thanks! I was dissapointed that hTorch didn't work on the HD2 now I got this. Wonderful!
Great ! thanks
Have it on my Omnia and was hoping to have it for my future HD2 !
You're all welcome! Glad to hear you like it.

The mode is there, but it's not as easily called as it was on the Touch Pro. In fact I haven't found the API call at all yet. May need some hacking around the API to get that to work. The normal mode produces _quite_ the amount of light though, it's even more light than the bright mode of the Touch Pro thanks to the dual led.

hTorch will work again once I update the C# wrapper to support the Leo, as hTorch makes use of my C# library. I'll do that somewhere in the upcoming week.
Great, works perfect ! Txs
Can anyone confirm this don't burn anything out? On the X1 the light modules weren't heatsinked properly and caused vibrator motor to screw up after 15secs use as a torch.
Thanks!

I can't confirm it won't ever burn out. However, realise that enabling the LED is actually the same as using your camera with the lights on in the dark. This _shoud_ be possible for prolonged times as well.
Were you using the 'bright' setting on the X1? (If that's possible there.) That might explain it better... otherwise you could just send in the device for repair, as it's normal use of the device. Especially if it's after only 15 seconds.

It was a known problem that the LEDs weren't heatsinked properly on the X1 and there was a huge warning on using hTorch. I've not installed hTorch and never used the LEDs on my X1 as a torch cos of this oversight by the manufacturer. I do miss being able to use the LEDs as a torch though, it's very handy.
Heej nice, i come from oud-Beijerland

The vibrate function does not work at all on my X1 after installing and using hTorch. User beware..!
This is my next phone when O2 decide to put it on their shelves, and hopefully its built better than the X1.
Any chance of some source code?
I've been looking through the HD2 camera drivers, and have found a few things that should be the LED (can't test it as I have no device), but am wondering if it's the same method as yours!

Here are the important code snippets of the API that I'm using. The methods were pretty obvious (luckily).
typedef int (__stdcall *LEO_INIT)();
typedef int (__stdcall *LEO_SETCURRENT)(DWORD dw1);
...
LEO_INIT InitFlashLight;
LEO_SETCURRENT PMICFlashLED_SetCurrent;
...
hCamera=LoadLibrary(L"CameraPlatform.dll");
...
InitFlashLight = (LEO_INIT) GetProcAddress(hCamera, L"InitFlashLight");
PMICFlashLED_SetCurrent = (LEO_SETCURRENT) GetProcAddress(hCamera, L"PMICFlashLED_SetCurrent");
...
InitFlashLight(); // must be called before SetCurrent has any effect
...
PMICFlashLED_SetCurrent(0); // turns it off
PMICFlashLED_SetCurrent(1); // turns it on
There's also a PMICFlashLED_SetMode(x); but I haven't been able to figure out what it does. As far as I could see when disassembling it wants one parameter.
If you have any ideas on the bright mode, they'd be more than welcome. If you want the full source to make some modifications or to toy with it, let me know.

That's what I'd come to as a conclusion, so glad that works!
Is there any need to un-init the flash light?
PMICFlashLED_SetMode will probably need some playing around, though might enable your "bright" mode. Will have a play with that when I get an HD2!

There doesn't seem to be an un-init function. However, the debug console shows that it detects when the DLL is being attached to or detached from, so there's probably some cleanup code there.
I also haven't found any side-effects yet. TorchButton works fine even when the camera app is running. They don't interfere with eachother (other than toggling the LED to their own behalf). On the Touch Pro it wasn't possible to run TorchButton and the camera app at the same time. Not that I ever wanted to, but still.
In regard to that mode function. It must be for something. I tried using it in various ways already but it didn't matter. Maybe you'll have more luck
might be confused right now, but seems that when in camera mode, and battery is below 50% you cant use the flash - anybody know if this will affect the app?
haven't got my hd2 yet so cant help you out, but there's a thread under the Leo -- > Leo sub-forum
cheerios!
Hey, my mom is using a Samsung Omnia (the first 8gb version) All original never been updated before. The phone got a standard function to rotate your screen when you hold your phone in landscape mode. Is there a app that works correctly. I've tried rotate me and BsB Tweaks. The first one won't work automaticly and the second one works after you've selected your app that must rotate. I've got several apps, so it takes me a lot of time. Also I'm not trusting BsB Tweaks.
Shortly is there an application for my HTC Touch Diamond 2 with a stock win 6.5 ROM that can rotate my screen instantly?

Hello.
Apologies if this has been asked before, I searched and couldn't find anything.
I am using Duttys Wm6.5 HG R2 WWE ROM (Sense 2.5_5.2.21893.5.0.90) on the HD.
I am asking this here and not in the ROM's thread because it seems like a WM6.5 w/Sense 2.5 thing and not ROM specific...
I can lock the device (and see the HTC lock screen) manually just fine using the end hardware key or the lock soft key..
I was wondering if there's a way to set the device to auto-lock when the device goes into standby...
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Chompy
With Pocketshield it will lock automatically every time screen or device turns off.
You can also try a reg edit HKLM\ControlPanel\keybd\DeviceLockWhenSuspend=1
cheers
Yeah, I know pocket shild, and also S2U2... I was wondering about the default lock screen...
Unfortunately, I dont have that reg key... it's a HD with LEO based 6.5 ROM
