I was wondering if it would be possible to rotate the camera 180 degrees on the screen. Currently, to take pictures I have to press the button with my right hand, unfortunatly i'm left handed and don't find this very comfortable. Can it be rotated so that I can use my left hand for the button? I have the O2 Orbit using the official O2 WM6 ROM, Thanks.
Rotate camera
I'm not sure what the problem is! Are you using the camera button to take the picture? Just turn the camera through 180 degrees and instead press the trackball with your left hand to take the picture. The only time there will be a problem is if you print the date and time on the picture as this will be upside down.
I do occasionally use the date and time for some pictures, also I just want it to look correct so to speak. I hate having to look at upside down text.

O2 ROM Update, anyone found the Onscreen button for switching between Landscape and Portrait mode?
Try SPB Pocket Plus or VSR Utility
The onscreen button for screen rotation is only available on the Active page it looks like the PDA with a light blue screen next to the wirless antenna
I have no idea about O2. With Orange you have it in the Settings/System/Touch Screen/General. But it's for the whole system and not just for the running apps...

Look at the bottom of the screen, next to the Blue box.
It's right there.
:roll:
i mapped the function to one of the buttons, to flip whenever i want
I just use the O2 button that's on the thumbboard.
hi folks, yesterday i stumbled upon this nice piece of software called iperov's Pocket guitar http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482726
It's essentially a virtual guitar that you can strum and pick. The problem is, i have to hold some sort of hardware button to play the chord and we know Rhodium don't have that much hardware button
i tried to open the keyboard, but then the screen goes to landscape and i had a hard time setting up the chord (check out the vid on the thread to see what i mean).
Now when i had my Xperia, u can assign one of the button to rotate the screen manually, but it doesn't seems to be available in the rhodium.
Is there any way to toggle the screen manually from landscape to portrait, vice versa? even with the keyboard out.
I thank you for all your response
Edit: solved. Sorry for the waste of space guys
If any hardware developers read these threads can you PLEASE put a button/switch on the phone that locks all the other buttons other than the camera release?
I was at a concert the other night and I wanted to take a picture or two. I pressed the camera button to go into that mode and changed all the settings to the way I wanted then when I brought the phone up to take a picture I pressed the inconvenient "back" button on my Focus. ARGH! I had to go back into the camera mode again, redo all the settings again and once again, pressed the "back" button AGAIN! It was pretty embarrassing that I had to keep bringing up the camera mode then redo the settings over and over again. This happened not once or twice but throughout the night. If that's a feature that Microsoft wants, then I think it's a crappy one. I finally got fed up and just enjoyed the concert. Maybe that's why they made things so inconvenient.
Can we have at least physical buttons instead of "buttons" that need to be pushed instead of ones that only take a swipe of a finger to activate?
Sounds pretty familiar
capacitive buttons are ****. hopefully with mango you can save camera settings though
Does anyone know if I can actually keep the on-screen / virtual / software buttons to the bottom side of the phone like phones with hardware buttons? or in a longer explanation:
If I hold the phone upright, the buttons stay on the bottom side of the screen and phone.
If I rotate the phone 90 degrees counter-clockwise, the buttons moved to the current right side of the screen (bottom side of the phone) and icons rotate.
If I rotate the phone 90 degrees clockwise, the buttons moved to the right (top side of the phone) and icons rotate. <- I want this to change, where the buttons would move to the current left side of the screen (bottom side of the phone)
I'm using Galaxy Nexus stock ICS 4.0.2, not sure if it's addressed currently (by a setting), in 4.0.3 or if there's a mod out there. It's a big issue for me and possibly all left-handed users since I can't access those buttons while holding the phone sideways.
Hey guys,
Is there a way to completely disable the S Pen to not write/do anything when it is in the air? It drives me nuts cause i can't control it and just scribbles or clicks on things when i don't want it to. I really just want it to click and do things when it is on screen..
Cheers in advance
simple, return it for a warranty
S-Pen
Hi
Go to ‘Setting’ - ‘S-Pen’ and turn off ‘Air view’.
A question to you: Do you have the problem that I have? If the phone goes into sleep whilst I'm reading something (this only happens at night when the ‘stay awake’ camera doesn't see me) and I wake the phone with the home button I go to the home screen and not to the last viewed p-ge. The only way I get to the last viewed page is if I wake the phone with the power putton.
Pressing the home button, just wakes the phone does not take me to the home screen. May its the app you are using, I am reading a PDF using Polaris.

This problem occurs if you freeze S-voice or disable the "Open via home key" in S-voice settings. You can unfreeze s-voice or re-enable the open via home button to get rid of the problem.
It's annoying, I know. Happens to me as well, since I disabled the double click to open s-voice because it induces a lag in the home button.

I've turned that off already. It still doing it though
The tip of your spen is stuck in, most likely. I saw a video of a guy tapping the end of his spen to unstick it, kind of swinging it. Best to get it replaced though.

Possible solution
This is a solution to the infamous S-Pen hover/pressing problem (where it will register a press when it's not touching the screen!)
I tried turning off air view, tried tapping and moving the pressure sensor tip... nothing seemed to fix it properly .. nothing except adjusting the potentiometers in the s-pen
The rough guide:
1. Remove the button from the s-pen (a sharp blade in the middle and levering up should do remove it but be careful it doesn't fly off somewhere unknown!.
2. Adjust the potentiometer (variable resistor) closest to the stylus tip (the writing bit). Turn it clockwise to make it less sensitive and CCW to increase it. A few degrees should be enough.
3. Replace the button - put the tongue side in towards the stylus tip and then rest the button on the stylus. Press the raised end towards the tip and down.
Test (actually you might want to test it before you do step 3!)
A big thanks to kevie88 on YouTube for suggesting it in a comment - a quick web search seemed to confirm it. I made a how to video that might help someone.
I called Samsung support and they are sending me a new s-pen anyway so I thought the above method was worth a go
