Auto rotate - Thunderbolt General

Is there any way to turn off the auto rotate? I don't like when the phone turns to landscape.
Thanks!

Settings->Display->Auto-rotate check
Though I haven't been able to have anything of mine rotate, except apps that default to landscape. What do you have that's rotating and causing issues?

no problem, I tore through settings many times last night trying to configure stuff.
And that works, I was really confused because I didn't think the Sense homescreens rotated and since mine didn't by the sounds of your first post I was concerned that my rotation was broken, but browser/sms rotate fine, so I gues it works.

I had issues w my auto rotate last night. I ended up having to flash it back to factory and all was well after that. Now auto rotate is working as intended with all screens.

Home button goes to dock?!?!

My sensation home button just recently started taking me to this dock!!! I never told it too!!! Is anyone else's doing that and is there a fix!! It drives me crazy!!!

What dock???? Assuming it is some app you should try clearing defaults in the application.
mine went mad yesterday and started taking screen shots everytime i pressed the homekey. related to the touchscreen issue perhaps?

My brothers did the same **** right after he updated, I had him disable the quick reboot in settings and pull the battery. Worked fine since.

Dock Home is an app that is included with the Sensation. I think it is an HTC app that comes on automatically when you dock your phone with the HTC Desk dock. You can also find it in your list of apps. All it appears to do is produce a single page homescreen with only a few bits of information on it and with few ways you can change it.
So pretty useless I guess, unless somebody knows any more about it.

[Q] Anyone else cannot confirm OK with PackageInstaller ?

No idea if this is a ICS custom rom thing, but I remember it happened on stock as well.
When trying to install an .apk from sdcard (sideloading), I get the PackageInstaller confirmation window. Sometimes the right side where the OK button is, is non responsive (left side on Cancel can be clicked). After some trying, it works. Now, I have no idea what causes this, but it's ****ing annoying and seriously makes me want to throw the phone up the wall.
Anyone else noticed this ?
Did you enable installation from Unknown sources?

Um, yeah, the issue is in the Package Installer, I wouldn't even get to it, if I hadn't enable that.
That happens to me if I have the app Screen Filter enabled/on.

Hm, I've got Lux installed (manages lowest auto-brightness setting, because stock ICS is too dim). Perhaps that could be the issue. I'll try it out, thanks

I'm the developer of Lux. PackageInstaller shouldn't have any issues with Lux installed provided you haven't turned off 'compatibility mode' in settings.

Oh man, you're a genius. I've had this problem time and time again and always wondered what it could be. I've ran around the problem using a "silent" installer.

I tried uninstalling Lux and responsiveness was suddenly back, it recognized the touch everytime.
Compatibility is on -> screenshots
When I restored Lux back again, the responsiveness went back to nonconsistant, sometimes it works fine, mostly it ignores the touch.

Seems like some kind of Android protection to disable side loading lol, when an app with certain "screen manipulation" functionality is running

As you said I believe that's the case so you don't install malware thinking you're installing something else. Click hijacking isn't cool, kids!

You might have to wait a couple of seconds before Lux disables itself. Lux needs to poll to check the current foreground app and disable itself. It polls every 3 seconds, unless it has detected the same app a few times in a row, in which it slows polling down to 9 seconds.

I see, maybe I was trying to hit the OK too fast, because now it seems that it works after waiting couple seconds. Thanks.

No problem. I wish there was a cleaner solution, but alas the Android API doesn't provide an intent which warns apps that a secure view is being shown.
Really Android should be drawing secure fields above everything else, rather than disabling the view - whoever thought that was a good idea isn't very intelligent.

CM_Arcee's ICS Beta ROM Discussion Thread

I feel like it deserves its own thread in the General section as the other one mainly pertains to ICS development.
Anyways, my voice to text was working flawlessly at first but not anymore. Anyone else having the same problem?
And if you're still unsure about running it, here's a short vid on it and how it runs.

Its kind of strange, people can receive my messages but I won't get theirs when they reply. I've tried wiping cache and reflashing but it was still a problem.

Yeah hardware acceleration isn't really fully working yet since its just a hack at the moment. That's why apps that utilize it are still weird at the moment. But hopefully he is able to fix that in the near future.

The only real issue I have is when I tap the screen, sometimes it'll act as if I'm holding down on where I tapped. Camera works for me now, but attempting to take picture make it not respond, asking me to force close. Still, it's good been good enough to use all day for me.

Camera doesn't work, any suggestions? It will start up and take a picture but then freezes.
get the camera 360 app from the market. it works perfect for me.
GPS works. Not sure if it's more or less stable than Gingerbread though.

I'm pretty sure you need to use a 3rd party launcher to get the home screen to rotate.
I use Nova Launcher & that rotates the home screen just fine.

Any app that supports screen rotation YouTube, messages, setting, Firefox, stock browser, pretty much everything I tried. Screen rotation was turned on the whole time and I'm running complete stock not rooted no rom or 3rd party launchers. The only thing that fix it was removing the battery while rebooting and a factory reset did nothing.

Screen wouldn't rotate
I tried everything and the only thing that would allow it to rotate in apps like dolphin browser and you tube was to pull battery. I am rooted and custom rom i tried reinstall of rom and also factory reset and nothing. Thanks for the reminder of pulling the battery, was so use to donig this on my t-bolt. I haven't needed to do this since then just forgot to even try it.

Screen rotating on lock screen?

Hey guys, just wondering. Is anyone else our there who has upgraded to JB and started to have his lock screen rotate all the time even when the auto rotation is off? It seems to be happening to mine and is causing quite a lag on unlocking.. -.-. It didn't have this problem when I was on ICS.

Yup, mine too. 4.1.1 from Portugal. It's really annoying...

I'm on official OEM 4.1.2 rooted with clockwork mod and I noticed the same thing today. At first I thought I had turned screen rotation on but when I checked it was off. Only seems to affect the lock screen though.
from day one, I have had this since August, my 8013 has always done this, and I mean every time I pick it up in the morning, it is in portrait and it takes 1-2 seconds to reorientate itself and respond to an unlock swipe. behaves exactly the same on JB as it did on ICS. it's the only hiccup this baby has at all, and does not bother me in any way. just quirky. gives it personality
I had this problem also on my nexus 7, with 4.2.1, and now on my Note with 4.1.1/german version. It only appears on youtube, not on mainly screen, or in movie player, but it's annoying!
Anyone Found a solution?

If you turn the device to standby when it is in portrait then it restarts in portrait. If you switch to standby in landscape then it restarts in landscape. No matter what the actual tablet orientation is.
I found it only happens when I have certain apps running in the background. YouTube is one that causes it.
Run YouTube, lock the tablet without closing the app and the screen will rotate once you awaken it.

Not really a solution but I just disable the lock screen all in all. The lag was making me angry specially when I do have to take a quick note and bam, you get stuck in the lock screen. Now it just opens to the home screen or whatever it was on before.
screen rotation at lock screen
GT-8010, 4.1.2, rooted, changed cwm, official Belgium rom (JZ054K.N8010XXUCMA8)
Always use the note in landscape, screen rotation is off, every time I take it up, it switches between portrait and landscape depending on the angle.
If there is a fix I am interested.
I have no idea where to start for a solution.
