Sorry to post in the Tornado forum guys, but I'm trying to solve a problem and I think only you guys can help me. I've got TomTom 5 installed on the Moto Q but after starting the program, the screen is oriented in portrait mode, however, the Q is natively in landscape.
Unfortunately, the displayed images are unreadable and just jumbled. I know that there is an option within TomTom to rotate the screen but without being able read the screens, its a practice in futility.
Can someone that has TomTom installed on their Tornado do me a favor. Can you walk me through the exact steps and button presses from the launch of the program to the rotate screen option. The button should look like an upside down smiley face.
I'm hoping that if I correctly hit the button sequence, the screen will rotate and that I'll be able to make the menus and program legible. Cheers.
I tried searching, so forgive me if this has already been addressed, but is there a way to temporarily disable the capacitive (menu and back) buttons? Sometimes when I am playing games or watching vid's with my phone in landscape I inadvertently hit the buttons with my palm. I know on my Transformer Prime we have the option to touch a small lock icon on the screen and swipe it to lock the on screen buttons while gaming etc. I am looking for a similar method do disable these buttons so I don't keep constantly undoing my last move in solitaire!
Thanks and any help is appreciated,
Mike
Hi so for the last week or so my screen has been completely knackered, what i meen is when i press the unlock button on the top of the screen it looks as if someone is tapping the bottom left corner of the screen where the first quick launch icon is. and while it is doing this i cannot press anywhere on my screen but if im fast enough (like press the unlock button while rappidly touching my screen i can press anywhere on the screen and i can see the ripple and i can even unlock the screen but then i cannot press anything on the home screen icons/apps or any interaction with the phone at all.

But with the TWRP works perfect without any issues with the response to my touch.
The rom im using is the untouched large Partition ICS ROM.
I'm playing s8+ for over a week. Slowly the first dust settles down and I start thinking about the phone in a more reasonable way. One day I was using an app that allows rotating screen 180° (*). My first thought was: what will happen with the home button when it will be on the other side of the screen?
Will the force touch work?
It doesn't of course.
So will I be able to launch the assistant app? Yes. It launches when you keep your finger on the home button a bit longer.
Ok then. So I asked the question myself:
What this force touch is made for?
The only use I find is: enable use of Home button in immersive mode (On the AOD screen you need to double click to "turn on" the screen so I can't say that the force touch is necessary there).
Any other use you find for this sophisticated tech?

It's just to show off when the screen is off, and Always on Display is off (I don't use it due to it being a waste of battery) and allows someone to turn on the screen without using the power button.
Is just f'n awesome straight up bragging rights when you tell your friends that I can turn my phone on by touching the invisible button lol that's my only reason for needing it
I love the feature.... no screwing around with power button or anything just press and hold to unlock:good:
The only uses are turning on your screen from a screen-off state, and to return to home straight away when the buttons are gone. You can force-touch the place where the home button would be when the home buttons aren't there to go straight to your home screen, pretty useful when playing full-screen games. And it's super easy to unlock your phone when you set the touch sensitivity to the highest, just a small touch unlocks the screen easily
Heres a tip: If you leave the home button on with the always on display, you can also double tap it to have it open the lock screen instead of unlocking.

Why do people keep saying this? Is there some feature I'm not aware of? It's a hard-press or, in the alternative, a double tap if the home button is showing. I've never seen any option to "press and hold" (a/k/a "long-press") like you and others keep saying. What am I missing?

go to display settings then to navigation bar settings then there is option for unlock with home button, once that is on, with AOD on you just touch and hold the button and it will go right to your home screen or you can shut off AOD and with the screen off you can still press and hold in the same area where the home button would be and it will unlock the phone and take you to your home screen:good:

Strange. That doesn't work for me. I enabled "Unlock with Home Button," and when my screen is on AOD, I touch-and-hold on the home button, and nothing happens. Only double-touching or hard-pressing do anything. I'm on Verizon S8+.
Main use is for AOD. You wouldnt want your phone turning on simply be the home button screen area being rub.
But outside of that. There isnt a need for it. There had been phones with on screen home buttons before. This thing here is that they disapper when using full screen on the s8
Hey guys, my gesture navigation is broken. It’s taking my swipes from whole 1/3 of the bottom screen. So swiping web etc is pain in the ass and playing games is actually impossible, because when I try to control anything on that sidetof display, it just goesrto home screen or back...
Is there anyone with same issue, or do I need to contact support?
I actually solved it! I had to switch back to buttons, restart phone (without restart it didn't work) and then I could switch back to gesture navigation. Now everything works as it should be.

I suggest always restarting after switching to navigation gestures. On the 6T, when I would switch from buttons to gestures, swiping from the bottom would register input on the keyboard (if it was open). It would go away after a restart.
I hate that there's no haptic feedback
