I think I am going mad so forgive me.
Can someone help me to rotate the screen to landscape with the keyboard closed? IE. manually rotate the screen.
I can't seem to find the function anywhere.
or have I missed something?
Thanks.
Just rotate the device?!
This only works in certain apps, like picture etc.
I want the Home screen, and TT7 in Landscape when in the car, and turning the screen doesn't do anything.
Any help?
The Apps themselves need to support the Rotation of the phone by implementing a hook into the Accelerometer/G-Sensor.
Like said above, TouchFlo3D Pictures and Opera do this, but most other apps do not! Just need to wait for later versions or change to landscape mode manually - if supported!
Should be (although HTC may have removed it) in Start->Settings->System (tab)->Screen, and then change the orientation. It's possible HTC removed this functionality though...
I'm guessing that Mortscript will still work on the Touch.
You could use this to rotate the screen then call the app in question?
Then when you quit the app it'll rotate back.
I forgot the name of the app, but it allowed you to rotate the Diamond for any app or any situation in the phone. It should also be able to work on the Touch Pro then.
Its called GSen it works on diamond and probably it should work for this and if its not working just wait for new release.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
They have removed this option, but you can bring it back with Schap's advanced config 3.0! I haven't tried it, but I've seen the option there!
Reg Edit to set Talk key to rotate screen manually
Here's a reg hack to manually rotate your screen, only when desired.
In Settings/Buttons/ one used to be able to assign a button to <Rotate Screen>. This feature is hidden on the Touch Pro.
To get it back:
Using a Registry editor, go to:
HKeyLocalMachine/System/GDI/Rotation
Change the "HideOrientationUI" from 1 to 0
Now you can remap the talk key to do this on long press.
Pocketpowermanager puts a little icon at the bottom of the Today screen which rotates the screen (and an icon for power off, and another for soft reset). It's a great application.
Hi there
Both Gens and Gyrator work well on the Touch Pro.
Just Bing them (at bing.com).

You can get an application called gyrator 2 which will allow you to rotate without sliding out the keyboard in any screen, so like you can use it in the start menu or anywhere else, http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=6068
Is there a widget or a way to set the long hold of a hard button to rotate the screen between portrait and landscape? My g sensor is struggling when i try to rotate the screen. I have searched high and low and i cant seem to find anything.
I was wondering if anyone knew of an app that would lock the screen rotation. Now, this isn't just a widget i'm looking for. I was hoping that you could lock/unlock screen rotation with the camera hard key. That way, you wouldn't need to see the notification bar or go back to the home screen or slow down the homescreen with a widget. You just hit the button, and it locks. Easy.
If i rotate the bezel i switch over to weather updates or news or other apps...
I wanted to replace this functionality and control the brightness level by simply rotating the bezel.
I use the "I am Awake" app to always keep my watvh face on.... only thing i want now is a some app which makes the bezel rotation control the brightness. I dont want to go to brightness setting and then use bezel rotation to lower or raise brightness... its too long process and cant do it everytime..
Any such app exists ?
The closest ive come to doing this is by setting double tap of home button to "open last app" option...
So i go to brightness option.. then press home button... then whenever i wanna change brightness... i simply double tap home button and the brightness menu opens and i can rotate bezel to increase or decrease brightness......
But i want to remove this requirement of double tapping home button also...... simply rotate the bezel and brightness goes up or down....
Fyi... auto low brightness option is not so good.... its not so responsive.... it is slow.... sometimes it does not reduce the brightness only...
So thats why i was looking for the manual quick option to inc or dec brightness by just rotating bezel
I know and completely get what you're talking about, it would be nice to be able to modify the bezel actions.
The problem is that the bezel action is programmed into the OS, and Samsung / Tizen doesn't allow a program to override the base actions when you are out of the specific program.
I looked into this before, but with music instead of brightness. Long story short, my car stereo had an AUX input, and instead of looking at my phone to change songs, I usually just take my Gear S2 and put it on the steering wheel.
Now to change songs, I can use the bezel rotation. But, I would have to have the home double press go to the Music Player. If the screen was off for. More than 10 seconds, the bezel would go back to the normal actions.
I looked into it more, and it just seems that you really can't override the default behavior....long story short.

Would be awesome if we can really have full control on screen orientation. The default system rotation (even on Android 10) is still super annoying.
Here goes my idea:
Let's just put it that way, the system auto rotation should always turned on for the app to work.
By default, your (new) app has to always display a floating button with unlocked status (i.e. allow system auto rotation to work as usual, don't interrupt). Only when user wanted to lock the current orientation, be it portrait or landscape, then user can click on the floating button once, which will then turned into a locked icon, and the current orientation is locked.
For example, user would like to always browse Chrome in portrait mode, he can click on the floating button to lock it to portrait and won't be bothered of system rotates the phone when he/she lie on the bed or sofa. Then he opens youtube and go through a list of recommended/popular videos in portrait mode (locked earlier), and selected a video to watch, now he/she wants to watch it in landscape, so what he should do is just click again on the floating button, and then it unlocks portrait and now he can use the auto rotate to put the video in landscape mode, and click once again on the floating button to lock the current orientation in landscape! That's it, perfect solution for the annoying system rotation.
Imagine how simple and easy is this and I can't figure out why Google or Apple does not incorporate this in their OS, or perhaps their next version of Android/iOS? lol
Optional (Nice to have features)
You can make the app to always show locked floating button (to let user know current orientation is locked), and only hide the unlocked button after 5 seconds of inactivity/idle. To unhide or call it, user just has to slide from edges to make the floating button visible again and he/she can now click once to lock desired orientation.
