Question [TB-Q706F] Rotate screen in desktop mode. - Lenovo P11

Is it possible to flip the screen or rotate to portrait in desktop mode? I've tried apps that control rotation and i've tried via ADB but nothing worked.

Nope. That's why its desktop mode. Switch it off and rotate freely

That's too bad. I find portrait mode more useful when watching some videos and still doing some browsing or emails.
Video on the top in 16:9 and nice neatry square window below. And some floating windows for little things.
But i guess it's their way or the highway.
And on my work pc I have 4 displays 3 of them in portrait mode. So desktop isn't synonymous with landscape.
He'll I used to have my CRT back in the day.
4:3 in portrait was nice for writing thesis with lots of equations to keep all in view.

Unfortunately they didnt think programmers couldn't benefit of it (that's why i would like the rotation on desktop mode too :/), anyway, maybe they could add that on future updates.

It's a shame that such uses are not taken care of. It's a great piece of hardware. Both for work and entertainment. I just wish there was a bit more flexibility when it comes to its use.
But at least in next update the touchpad on the dedicated keyboard should start functioning properly in portrait mode.
But there are a lot of tiny things that should have been caught in QA.
I hope as the time goes by there will be more allowances for more flexible use.

Landscape Performance << Portrait Performance?

I just thought i'd squeak the wheels a little bit with me noticing some screen tearing in landscape mode in ANY application that allows for quick panning.
So far ive seen this in opera mobile (as stated by an older thread) and opera mini java (just grab the screen and go up and down as fast as you can and youll see it in the upper right). ALSO, in s2u2, when set to raw buffer, moving the slider in landscape is a lot less smooth compared to moving it around in portrait.
Applications seem to perform sporadically in landscape for some reason... whats the reason? They should have access to the same drivers so whats the problem?
Hi, there is one topic with the same subject. Check it out:

It's really bad in TomTom when in landscape, the redraw is achingly slow.

Best Landscape App Help

Hi There.
I am currently using TX Total Landscape and I have a few problems.
When in Manilla on the contacts tab, the contacts do not fill the screen but remain in a 3 column config to one side of the screen.
Music and Photo&video tabs do not act as they usually do when turned into landscape (they remain up-down scrolling instead of changing to their usual side-side scrolling that they have without the mod)
Is there a landscape mod/app that is better. in other words that you can select which tabs will rotate and which will act as normal.
Thanks in advance.

That does not work well at all in manilla. Screen stays blank when in landscape mode.

[Q] Manual screen rotation

Hi,
I have a Wits A81E tablet device which doesn't has G-Sensors, However, sometimes I do need to change the screen orientation from landscape to portrait and vice-versa. Does anybody familiar with any application which is able to do that?
P.S - I have tried using "RotateD" which works great but for some reason it installs 2 icons which would be inconvenient to use as I want to put the rotation icon on the dock bar.
Thanks
I also had a hell of a time locating a manual rotate sceen until a member from slatedroid helped me out
He informed me of adw launcher is best used with this rotate app, not clear on why but also never tested without it yet. I had sum trouble getting it to work at all until i had to change sum setting around. Now it works and now im happy to go portrait. The keyboard was one main reason as it was to large for even two thumb typing (but portrait is great for two thumbs)
I be right back with more info...
Ok its called rotating screen. Version 1.0. Not sure how he got his hands on it but a search result yeild nothing. So instead of uploading here, in fear, just pm me your email and ill send the instructions as i got.

Page orientation in S-Note?

Hi,
This could be a daft question, but how can I make the paper be in landscape orientation in S Note? I can turn the tablet, and the app rotates, but the paper is still portrait. Surely there is a way to make the paper landscape for long equations etc?
Also, while I'm here, is there a quicker way to scroll up and down the page than turning pen mode off, and cursor mode on, scrolling, then going back to pen mode? Hoping there is a hidden scroll bar or something.
Thanks
Matt

Landscape mode in S-Note will be possible after upgrading to Jelly Bean.

I think that's not possible now, since you can't create a custom template.
Anyway, if I remember well, I've seen that in the next JB release there will be a new template specifically designed for landscape mode.

Ah, Well that Is good to know. Frustrating that such a simple fundamental feature isn't present, but I suppose that's the price to pay for being an early adopter! Good to know they are improving the device.
Any tips on speedy scrolling? Shame there isn't a feature like double click on the pen button, do your scrolling, lift off the screen, and pen returns to pen functionality....or is there?
I don't understand. When I open S-Note and use a background with lines that go accross the page in landscape and turn my GNote 10.1 on it's end for portriat oreintation the lines turn and still go across the page. If there is any writting on the page it also rotates to the proper alignment.
I found some kind of a solutionton for thislandscape paper "problem". I rotate my note 10.1 so that the paper is in portrait mode, then i switch off the auto rotate function in the quick settings bar and than when i go back to my drawing i can rotate the screen in landscape and the paper stays in landscape mode...only problem is that so does the text but it doesn't bother me !
Sorry if my English isn' very good.
There is a landscape mode template that was added in S note with the last update. If you can not see it when you are viewing templates, rotate to portrait and you will see the landscape template, not sure why it is not visible in landscape view.

When I use the landscape template and rotate the GNote 10.1 then the screen changes to portrait and the page becomes just a small bar accross the screen. So I don't understand what the landscape template is supposed to be for.

Zoom to 100 % once you rotate in the landscape template then you will see a much wider place to write/draw or both! Some prefer the wider page, in portrait template you are not getting the true width, just zoomed .

Stumble upon your post while finding landscape mode for s note.
Not sure you already found a solution for scrolling,.. you can do scrolling by putting two fingers (like when you wanna do zooming for photos) on the screen, instead of moving the two fingers in opposite direction (for zooming), you need to move the two fingers together to down or up for scrolling.
Hope this helps.

EzPDF Help: paintbrush in night mode!

Hello. I need assistance with EzPDF and cannot, for the life of me, find a way to get it from the developer. I've sent them numerous e-mails with ZERO responses.
Here's my question: I prefer to review my PDFs in night mode. I would also like to write on them. It appears the "pencil" feature will keep its color after exit the pencil writing mode, whereas the pen (paintbrush?) loses its color after exiting pen (paintbrush?) mode. The problem is that I'd like to keep the color for review in night mode; however, the pencil width is just too fat with no way to adjust it. The pen would be great if it didn't lose its color in night mode.
Thoughts? Perhaps there's a help forum out there for EzPDF?
Thnx!
This may not be what you want... but you could annotate the pdf in another program using black ink, then save the pdf and open it with ezpdf in night mode. This should change the color for you.
I agree. I'm glad the developed made the pencil work in night mode; however, I wish he/she would enable width selection for pencil.
