I have a strange bug with every custom rom and kernel.
I can't switch back to portrait if I'm in an app with landscape orientation. It is so bad that I can't even see any incoming call.
The only thing I can do is reboot the phone via pressing power key for a few seconds.
Any help and fix would be appreciated.

Hi Folks,
I love the Rhodium dialer in the Topaz ROMS, and generally it works flawelessly in Landscape.
There is just one thing anoying me, and I was not successfull in fixing it via the registry.
- When having the Topaz with Manila in Landscape mode, and starting the Dialer, the dialer is switching Manila into Portrait, and then the dialer is started in portrait as well.
- If eg. turning the device to landscape, and then back to landscape, Rhodium dialer will switch to landscape as well. Also when taking a call, it switches quite soon, or if puishing the volume control and then back to the dialer again it will switch to landscape. But never alone...
Anyone has an idea if there is any registry setting that starts the dialer in landscape if manila was in landscape mode while starting the dialer???
Any idea would be apprichiated.
Thanks GeScha
PS: I'm using the phone in the car in a carholder, that's landscape, so turning the device is not really an option....
Kind of a work around but not really a solution would be to set one of your hardware keys to rotate the screen with a long press or double/triple press....
Hi Bruce,
I was considering this, but in this case I can do the volume control workaround as well....
A reg-hack would be ideal, bat havent found one yet.
I would think it would be a key in HKCU\Control Panel\Phone... maybe "KeypadStateOnLaunch" or "KeypadStateOrientations"
but I am not certain.
I tried several of these settings, none was successful.
I also tried to play around with some keys in HKCM/Software/HTC/HTCSensors/GSensor..
None changed the behaviour as I liked.
Maybe its not checking GSensor at startup, but if the Keyboard of the Rhodium is open or not....
Can anyone let me know what is causing this problem on my phone??
I want to run landscape mode but every time I enable Landscape it leave me with screen problem (The photo attach are screen shots for my phone running in land scape mode [right side is the bottom], where the black screen is the home screen, the photo tab and music tab are also mess up.)
I mean my phone runs perfectly fine in portrait mode but once I enable landscape I have problem
I tried enable landscape with bsb tweaks, Touch tools, Gconfig and all 3 program leave me with the same screen problem. (I can enable landscape and turn off rotation but that is just portrait mode again.)
I am using official Traditional Chinese rom:
manila 2.5.1921161930
(I have CHT install)
And I really want to figure out how to run the phone in landscape mode without have to deal with a black screen on home screen. Can anyone help me???
You are using Windows Mobile 6.5. You cannot rotate these features in 6.5 unfortunately.
If you want to change this... grab yourself a new ROM... and flash it.
so i need 6.5X??? That blows.....
Is going to be hard to find a good Rom that support traditional Chinese....
Hi everyone, i have some problems messaging with SMS stock app.
Often, when write something, if I click on the option button (for accessing smiles), the conversation go back to the first message, and the stock keyboard crash (only in landscape mode).
Additionally, when I press backspace, it came up with 'delete by selection' function...
Try Hard Reset, but without results...
It's by the way... a bug?
Or it's my Device?
Thanks a lot.
p.s. sorry for my bad english
i can't reproduce it on my device.
what do you mean by option button? it's on keyboard or you mean HW menu button?
yup, it's the HW button (to the left of home button).
This issues appear usually after I unlock the screen or after other operation.
Example:
Device screend locked -----> unlock -----> answer message ---> issues in landscape mode.
Example 2:
Playing with some game------->answer message (or write new one)---->issues in landscape
Not noticed any issues and had the phone for over a month but I don't use the phone in landscape mode ever so must be a landscape problem.

is it software-related o HW-related?
What do you think?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and does it happen right after pressing menu key? or after selecting smiley to insert?
when i press menu key, keyboard is closed right away and menu is opened.
when pressing the button or when pressing the 'hide qwerty' button...
Not every time... like..
5 times over 10 tries.
I have just tried this and the first time I started a reply and typed some words then presses the option button then more then smileys I pressed back and the kb had gone and it took me to the first msg in my conversation. Have tried it several times since but could not replicate it.
I don't use the stock sms app, I use handcent sms and have no issues

you hit the spot, is that problem!
Is it a bug? Hope that it will fix soon...
Handcent is good like stock app?
does changing another ruu help?
I have this problem! I find if I press backspace too many times while in landscape mode, say after I mess up a word typing that it won't autocorrect, it takes me to this delete message menu. Going to install a better messaging app.
RUU= Rom Upgrade Utility?
@ridley1000
The same problem here, then i believe that is a problem with gingerbread+stock sms app.
I have a Samsung galaxy tab S2. When I boot it up it sticks in portrait mode for a couple of seconds on the lock screen before switching to landscape but i want it to boot straight into landscape .
It is rooted so i was wondering if i could modify androids default orientation?
or
change the order android implements the user preferences so the switch to landscape happens faster therefore i don't notice it sticking in portrait?.
Been looking for a while and cant seem to find a solution, anybody have any ideas?
Thanks :good:
Is anyone having issues with the responsiveness of Auto Rotate?
At times, apps won't rotate according to my phone's orientation.
It feels worse when using split screen where sometimes it works when I rotate the phone to the left, but it won't flip when I rotate to the right.
I have tried shaking the phone after rotating.
Turn the phone upside down and rotate it to the orientation I want. (sometimes it works this way)
Worst experience is when I am using the phone in landscape mode while driving with GPS app, an incoming call will rotate the phone back to the normal position. (I use bluetooth headset to answer call)
After the call, when the GPS apps is back up, it stays portrait position and it won't rotate back to landscape.
It is dangerous for me to rotate the phone again while driving.
Want to know if others experiencing the same.
I don't have this issue when I was using Oneplus One or Mi A1.
Same problem..
