can I make a short cut on home screen for rotating screen layout.
thanks
There should be one there already... in the bottom right of the screen, a little icon showing a PDA with a stick. (next to battery and Com Manager)
no i just got battery coms and o2 logo for closing running programs
oh rite, i've got the T-Mobile version. I would think there should be some software out there somewhere...
You can set a hardware button to do it: Start> Settings> Buttons> 1. Seleect Button 2. Assign to 'Rotate Screen'
Hope this helps!

I've now got my XDA IIs and let it put O2 activeon to start with.
had a look,
then hard reset and got rid of it.
great
any problem is, no tool to go from portrait to lanscape screen orientation.
how does one get this back?
Select start, settings, system tab then select "screen" botom RH icon from here you can select screen oriantation - I know its not an on screen short cut but at least it gets it back for you, I wouldn't put the O2 active on the device it caused me nothing but trouble, I fail to understand why O2 sell the device with a rubish software load - Mike
Aother way if you want an on screen icon is to load up Omega One Batery Pack Pro. This will put the battery strength meter back onto the screen as well as other useful information, but in addition it loads "programe Bar" from here you can have short cuts to practically anything on the device - I have just tried it so I know it works - Mike
I've mapped my t-zones key (3rd from the left on the bottom row) to flip orientation.
Perhaps you could try that. :wink:
PHM tools does a free tool as well.

tap start - settings - personal - buttons.
from there u can reset hard keys to what u want. i have the home button stored to this, the first button above the call button.
I now own the Orbit. I used to own the Wizard so am used to lanscape screen. I also tried some WM6 roms, namely Faria's which has a little icon at the bottom tray in the today screen that rotates the screen. Can anyone point me to such a programme? It would be so useful as I use landscape mode for my GPS in car.
thanks
Don't know about your icon thingy, but I use my start menu button to rotate my screen, double press. "AE Button plus" I find to be the most comprehensive button mapper, and I have my orbit really nicely set up for one handed use. Double tap explorer button now will launch tomtom, ok button really closes stuff, etc.

See the sixth bullet under "how to"...not exactly what you want tho.
I have Tytn with wm6 oficial from htc and sometimes the buttons doesnt work. The messages button, IE, Green One, Red One, but the keyboard works everytime. If I turn the phone off and than Turn it on they work for a while. Is there anything I can do to resolve this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
I maybe wrong but so far I think I've nailed this down to task managers installed by either the rom developer or the user that normally aren't in the base rom.
Examples: spb mobile shell, spb plus, possibly even htc task manger.
reason: if you notice spb plus has a Red X option for closing applications when you tap the X, instead of minimizing them to the background. it also brings up a quick menu if you hold the stylus too long on a scroll bar and are scrolling a page slowly using the stylus. if you have this menu drop downwhenyou lift the stylus in that brief period that you do to put it back at the top to scroll further you may end up accidently taping the close application that shows on that menu. it can be triggered by other means on screen and maybe behind the problem.
I've had similar since I run both spb mobile shell and spb plus and have been too lazy to disable the task managers since the schaps rom I run now already has htc's task manager in it by default and is loaded on boot.
try disabling all task managers the show one the top task bar and that recognise screen gestures.
*thank god for full qwerty keyboard on this hermes as i've already done 2 posts today and were this an artimis i' be crazy or not post when I'm out and just relaxing in car in the morning due to artimis doesn't have a mechanical keyboard only onscreen hahaha*
Hi all,
I apologise if this is not the right place to pose this question, but I just got a Touch HD on an Orange contract a couple of days ago, and I can't seem to be able to change the text entry method on my handset. It always stays as 'Phone Keypad', no matter which method I select, from the several methods listed: Block Recognizer, Compact QWERTY, Full QWERTY, Keyboard, etc. It's the same whether I try to make the selection by pressing the "OPTIONS" button on the phone keypad, or whether I go through Start->Settings->Input
All the software/hardware configuration on my handset is exactly as it was when I received it from Orange, so far I haven't even installed a single new program.
Any help? TIA
Hi.
Can't offer any advice as such, but can tell you that I got my HD from Orange just over a week ago, and I can change the keyboard without any problems.
I originally had a Touch Diamond, so I knew how I wanted it set up. I just brought up the menu from the keyboard at the bottom of the screen when it first popped up and did it from there.
Sorry I can't be any help, other than to tell you that you should be able to do it!
Good luck mate.
Hi,
I had the exact same problem but i wasnt too bothered but then I installed Gyrator and everything started to work.
Hi,
I had the exact same problem but i wasnt too bothered but then I installed HD Tweak and Gyrator and everything started to work. I have no idea how it worked though.
I got this phone yesterday, and I too was confused as to how I selected the different input method. Then I worked it out
It must be a bug with their firmware. You have to HOLD DOWN the centre button, keep your finger pressed and slide it up the screen to select the preferred input method. I think I did this when I was in the Compose SMS screen.
Since then, mine's stayed as I selected it - on Full QWERTY.
Hope this helps!

Same happened with mine. If you click on the options then you cant change it, however if you click on the box in the middle of the screen at the bottom, you can change them.. Bizarre!

Thanks for the replies and suggestions, guys. I've got it working for me too: by pressing the 4x4 grid-like icon at the bottom centre of the screen to bring up the keyboard, and then pressing the small upward-pointing arrowhead that brings up keyboard options. I guess that's what ultrazonixe probably means... although I couldn't get it work by sliding my finger upwards off the centre button as langauld suggested (except if incidently I did it from the arrowhead icon).
Thanks for the help!
Yes this is quite tricky till you get the idea.
Press the bottom middle button (icon of keypad) to get the keypad up, if its not already up.
Then the bottom icon changes and adds a small up arrow just to the right of the keypad icon. (nothing to do with the four arrows just below the keypad)
you have to press this small up arrow just to the right of the keypad icon and a menu pops labled "touch input settings".
its not the same one that comes up when you press the options tab which does not work.
Press the right choice eg full qwerty or whatever, and hey presto the keypad changes instantly.
same here
Yes I could change it .. via selecting the arrow next to the mini keyboard on the bottom ... but it used to reset it self every time I starsted the phone...
Now I have TouchPal.. I have never looked back.
I have a TP2 and for some reason, the icons on my start screen have vanished! Basically, when I press the start/windows button in the top left, it opens up the start screen but the icons cannot be seen.
The funny thing is, they are still there because if I press the screen, I can load up the programs that you can use from the start screen - it's like the icons are invisible but are actually still there, I just can't see them but I can use them. Can anyone help me out with that?
Don't worry, it's fixed, soft reset XD
