Keyboard to landscape problem!

When i turn my Touch HD to landscape the keyboard closes and i have to activate it again. Is it possible when keyboard pops up and i turn to landscape that the keyboard doesn't closes?

No Auto Rotate in message app

Has anyone else had this problem? I if i get a text message and rotate the phone to use the keyboard in landscape the screen does not rotate and have to type with the keyboard in portrait.

happened once for me and I restarted the phone and the problem went away.

Screen rotation glitch

Background:
I regularly use my TP2 (Vodafone 6.5 stock ROM-for now- running TF3D) as a SatNav unit running TomTom 7.
I use Gyrator2 to auto-rotate TomTom & other apps incl Manilla
While doing this, I like to keep the device in landscape mode (it then looks like a stand-alone TomTom unit but with added bling haha!)
When actually driving I also use a BT Headset (although I dont think this is part of the issue)
Problem:
When I receive an incoming phonecall or press the phone button with TomTom running in landscape mode, a strange thing happens.
First, TomTom reverts to portrait, even thought the device is in landscape. Then the phone is displayed, also in portrait. When I hang up the call, the display reverts to TomTom, which is still in portrait.
This means I have to manually rotate the device to portrait & back to get TomTom to re-display correctly in landscape, OR leave the phone permanently in portrait mode so the phone doesnt muck up the display (which kind of negates the point of having a g-sensor!)
Observation:
1) I tried changing from Gyrator2 to ChangeScreen in case it was Gyrator that was the issue: ChangeScreen has a nifty 'vibrate' to tell you it is rotating the screen. Assuming the device is in normal portrait mode, I can press the SEND key & the phone comes up as normal: pressing 'X' at the top right returns to the TomTom screen again as normal.
However, when I press the phone send key when in landscape mode, ChangeScreen causes the phone to vibrate madly for a good second or 2 instead of the small buzz it usually does for a screen rotation, as if it is busy fighting whatever setting is trying to force the device into portrait: briefly part of the phone screen is displayed before it vanishes again returning me to the TomTom screen.
At the moment I will have no option to return to Gyrator2, but that also exhibits this strange "forcing into portrait" effect when I press SEND key or an incoming call is received. (but at least it DOES display the phone screen, albeit such that I have to turn my head sideways!)
2) if I extend the keyboard, thus forcing the device to work in landscape, I can smoothly open the phone, straight into landscape, no glitches, all working perfectly; and when the phone app is closed manually or automatically TomTom smoothly returns, again in landscape, as it should.
Questions:
Is there a way of "kidding" the TP2 I have the keyboard slid out when I dont, in order to force the phone to display correctly, OR does anyone know if a simple registry edit will prevent phone from trying desperately to force the device into portrait mode before displaying?
On my old Kaiser I had screen rotation mapped to a spare hardware key. OUr TP2's only come with ONE hardware key, which I have set to MSVC. is it possible to create a 'screen rotation' shortcut similar to what was found on my old Kaiser?
If it's of any help, I have noticed this odd effect with both the Vodafone 6.5 & generic HTC Euro 6.5 ROMS (device is HardSPL'd)

I used keyboard config to map a doubleclick to screen rotate. That way I have more control.

Send key dialer rotation problem

I have an issue with the send key and rotation I have the Manila dialer configured to work with the g sensor but when I press the send key whilst in landscape it jumps around and then settles back to landscape.
I have tried to manually rotate the screen using the long press and the g sensor turned off but this dose not work and I get the same result.
I would prefer to manually rotate the screen for use in the car with TomTom.
I could do this with my WM6.1 rom but this is missing in the WM6.5 rom.
i got around it with wisbar but I still have the above problem when in landscape it jumps around.
Is there a reg edit to enable the screen rotation on the long press send key windows mobile 6.5?
is there a setting in Manila to change the screen orientation when the dialler is selected?
Hope some one can help

Ok i have done some playing and its an issue with the dialer its self.
if i turn the dialer skin off and use the stock WM dialer there is no issue can some one point me in the direction of the reg folder for the dialer so i can have a play?

Auto rotate screen?

Hi,
Anyone know how to turn this auto-rotate screen?
I cannot see it happening, for example on the default web browser.
I turn and turn, but it does not go to landscape for example.
In the Settings -> Sound & Display -> I enabled the screen orientation already.

try calibrating the g sensor. somewhere in settings

Done. I have done it many times ...
It is being charged now, does this affect the accelerometer?

DAMN!
I did not know that the auto-rotate ONLY WORK ONE WAY!
The buttons must be in the right-side ....
It does not work if the buttons in the left side
*LOL*

I disabled the auto-rotate. Is it still possible to rotate on-screen keyboard to landscape manually while typing SMS etc? Thank you..

yes, it's a design flaw. For me the volume should be up at the top. I keep hitting the volume when holding the device at Landscape.
