[Q] Landscape Dialer? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know of a way to get the Dialer/Contacts App to go into landscape mode. I use my Nexus S 4G in my car dock in ladscape mode frequently, and it's a PITA to dial sideways while driving.

Go to your contacts, then press menu, settings. Go to the bottom and you should see Enable sensor rotation in the misc section.

Thanks, but there is no "Settings" menu within the Contacts app on the Nexus S 4G. Maybe on the Nexus S though.

You need to press the menu button on your Nexus S first. Also valid in the dialer screen.
Sorry it's not settings however, but preferences.

Nope, it's not there. Looks like they left some code out of the 4G model.

system setting --> display --> auto-rotate
for your own and other driver/people's safety , please do not use phone while you are driving

Thanks, but Auto-rotate has already been enabled in display settings, and it does not work in the dialer and contact apps. I've tried every ROM for the NS4G (except for CM7) and there seems to be no way to get the dialer into Landscape.

well... unfortunately there is nothing i can do about it ... wish you luck to find what you looking for

C.m. will do it on the dialer press menu

ICS mobile networks menu/2G/3G options missing?

It seems that the mobile networks menu is missing from the settings panel?
Is there a way to switch between 2G and 3G mode, maybe with a widget or something?
Sensation 4G here, in case you guys have different menu..

If that don't work press *#*#4636#*#* you will get a menu go
To phone options in the corner of where it says 2g,3g, ect... is a drop down menu. From there you can lock the signal to what ever you want. Then scroll down press refresh.you will see a group of numbers come up on the line before the refresh button. You are good to go now.I use this method to lock on my signal. When you reboot your phone you will have to do it again because settings go back so write down the code. Hope I helped you!

I found an app that sends me directly to the networks menu. It's a widget actually, but it does the job. The option is just not directly available from the menu. The mobile network menu is just a toggle button for mobile data...

Can't remember, but there are lots of apps that do this. Search for 2G in Google Play.

What do you want it to be? The slider?
Some ROMs have an option to show the slider on a secure lockscreen. Can't remember if CM does.

Settings, (Personalization) Lock Screen, Screen Lock, put PIN in, choose Pattern. If you use an Exchange e-mail account this will be disabled due to Exchange policy.

If it's in the rom its usually in settings > Security and there should be an option, something like "show slider before secure unlock".

Maybe CM doesn't have an option. Not all ROMs have all features.

How to access phone settings ?

The notification bar only shows notifications and no settings that I can see. Am I missing something or the only way to do it is to create widget or shortcut ?
Pull up slowly from the bottom of the screen. This is called "control center" it's super annoying to me honestly.

Yup that's it, I completely missed "more" on the bottom of the screen. Thank you. Other than few UI quirks I am liking the phone far.
Also the touch sensor works for me even with screen on, so they must have fixed that bug.

Notification shade works while screen locked

Others may know this, but it was a surprise to me.
With the screen locked, you can still swipe down on notification bar and access the quick settings tiles and the screen brightness slider. Some of the tiles are locked out, but you can switch between sound, vibration or muted, and turn on or off the following WiFi calling, Do not disturb, flashlight, Always on display, Airplane mode, Power saving (but not Ultra), and Auto rotate.
Tapping on any of the other tiles will bring up the pin/password entry screen. Tapping the settings icon or Quick connect also brings up the pin/password keypad.
The fact that you can toggle airplane mode on is troubling. That means someone who finds your phone, and knows, can prevent you from locating / wiping the phone with Android device manager.
Correct, that's a HUGE security issue. Removed airplane mode from my choices.

But im sure you can still get into it by clicking the edit button. To remedy this i use screen lock protector from the play store also cerberus has option to lock power off and notification drop down.

Unfortunately, though, I discovered you can tap the down arrow to open the full quick settings panel, and use airplane mode from there. No way to prevent it at the moment.
Or they can just turn it off?

Yep. That's crazy they would allow that. Someone needs to bring it to Samsung's attention!

How to turn off add icon to home when install app?

There is used to be an option in Play Store to stop automatically adding shortcut icon on the home screen everytime install a new app.
But it seems it has been removed in Play Store.
Anyone knows how to do that on HTC U11+ running Android 8?
Thanks in advance.

Do you mind to be more specific where exactly I should go to?
I don't see anything like home launcher under settings.
Thanks.

I have searched everywhere and still have not find it
On my Pixel c running Oreo you get to the option from the home screen. Press and hold on home screen (as you do to add widget) then choose settings.
Hope that helps.

It seems it is HTC hasn't implemented that setting in their Sense Home setting as google removed the setting from Play store and leave it to home screen launcher. HTC didn't do it, so we don't have such option.
