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?

Can anyone point me to a registry key that tells the Phone Keyboard to expand/open when the HTC dialer opens. It was working fine and then it spontaneously stopped appearing. The icon at bottom center is still there and I can tap it to bring it up. But I would prefer the default arrangement where it opens with the Dialer. ROM is XBMod 2.03 but I have posted it here as it is quite possible a generic setting that would be of use to any ROM. To clarify - the Phone Keyboard SIP is selected - that is not the issue. The Problem is that the dialer comes up with is minimised at the bottom.
Rather not hard reset but will do that if the answer is not obvious.
Is it possible to force landscape mode in apps such as Tomtom 7 and IE without opening the keyboard?
They don't seem to automatically recognize when the phone is rotated.
R.
you can do both automatic rotation with either gconfig or gyrator and forced orientation change from within an application or the usual "rotate scree" reg hack.
Tom,
Thanks for the pointer.
The reg hack here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418588 works just fine.
R,
I just installed Gyrator2 on my TP2 and it works very nice!
you can find it here:
http://gyrator.brins0.net
then the screen can turn in all directions automaticly
my rhodium phone screen always blanks.
This happens under WM 6.1 (original version) or WM 6.5 new cooked versions
I have tried 4 different ROMs.
I have tried to tweak using HD TWeak utilitites. I have tried to disable any power savings settings. I have disable the settings which allowed the phone to blank the screen, during a phone conversation: no help!
The blanking happens when the phone is close to my ear: when I detach from my ear sometimes the screen comes back to alive, but sometimes (50% of times) it remains blank.
To regain control I either have to open the keyboard and close or, when this is not enough, to soft reset
What can i do?
Thanks

I have experienced this problem under WWE Roms and under NON-WWE roms (for example 6.5 chinese ROM)
My device is now running this ROM:
EnergyROM "Genesis" (23016) ★ |Sep 17th| Manila 2.5 & 2.1
Thanks and waiting for suggestions
Saulo
I have even disabled Manila and unchecked all power saving features which I found under settings...I really start to believe that it is a hardware issue. Any opinion?
Thanks
I have this running the Sprint stock ROM. The TP2 has a proximity sensor near the HTC symbol on the upper left side of the screen. When I move the phone from my ear or while in call I sometimes lose my phone screen all together and it goes back to the TF3D home screen so I have to hit the send key to bring the phone app back up.
in registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd
set:
DeviceLockWhenSuspend
from 1 to 0
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=82944&highlight=sensor
I noticed this only after I started using the device lock since I added push email which requires me to. Some have stated that changing the timeout to 0 will correct this problem as well. My guess is that somewhere the device lock and proximity sensor are not playing well together and its a design flaw.
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.
Hey guys:
I have ChangeScreen installed on my HTC Tilt2. Ive set the default on load to landscape as well as set up exceptions to manilla and most of my programs to landscape (as an assurance that the screen will load each app/prog chosen to landscape).
I have set the registry keys listed in this string to 50 sugested in this xda reference thread: xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8548616#post8548616
My problem is this: I have to hold my phone upright , then lay it flat, then pick it up again in order for the rotation to take effect.
Next prob is: after the screen does go into landscape, then i go to , say messaging, all is good until i exit messaging and navigate back to the today screen. It loads back "portrait". I have to do the same steip over : pick phone up; lay it flat; then pick up again for it to go back to landscape, otherwise, it just sits and sits and sits in portrait.
Is there any other tool better than changescreen that truely 'defaults' the screen rotation to landscape where i dont have to manually keep moving the phone all the time just to get to landscape?
