so i have been using g config to try to control what apps my phone rotates the screen for. i have removed everything from the g config list that has i think out could be but the screen continues to rotate as there is a phone call coming on, this causes the thing screen to rotate as I bring the phone our of my pocket and it often is in the middle of rotating when I try to answer and it often has a hard time hitting th eanswerbutton while on transition.
anyone know of a way to keep the phone to stop rotating?
thanks,
jeff

So when I open Gconfig, the only apps that are set to rotate are:
skyfire
iGuidance
both my mail accounts
sms/mms
IE6
Album
Calculator
Opera
I noticed that on my Wife's phone that has the official Tmo rom does not do this.
Thanks, any other ideas?

Thanks Dude! The only thing that said Dialog was the sms/mms. I deleted that and then reset up the sms/mms and the phone app does not rotate anymore!!
Outstanding!!

Any way to stop this.. I used the registry to stop it from waking up due to my magnetic case.. i have the notifications to make a noise and flash the led... i dont want it to come out of standby to tell me about an upcoming appt (the dismiss/snooze notice) cause i keep pocket running apps or pocket dialing my sense 2.5 front shortcuts!
ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated!

Try this: Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications > Event: Reminders > uncheck "Display message on screen."
I hope that solves the problem!
thanks! i will try that and get back to you
UPDATE: damn... this doesnt work... for "reminders" in settings/notifications i only have flash light, play sound, and vibrate selected and the screen/phone wakes up/resumes and if it had been in my pocket or whatever i'd be calling people.. any other ideas?

Sorry about that. I just noticed myself right now that my phone woke up for a reminder.
Hmm... I don't know, but I think you should get a working screenlocker. I use TouchLockPro (now you can use your zoombar as an unlock bar). I set it up so that when the screen wakes, the phone instantly locks.
If you decide to use TouchLockPro, the settings are a little hard to understand (I followed the Settings instructions in the developer's website). If you need help with the settings, or if you want an example of my settings, feel free to PM me.
try this ..
warlock...thanks for that cab.. but it didnt work...at least not for calendar reminders.. i will test it on txt msgs as that would help as well
sumflipnol: thanks.. i guess i will have to look into screen locks.. its just annoying cause im fine with the "screen lock except for power button" behavior of winmo.. but if it could just stay asleep for the reminders (other than the sound/led/vibrate options) it'd be perfect
ill let you know if that locking program works out for me
hold down the end button

I believe you're referring to the default Windows Mobile SmartLock (auto-lock). I have that on my phone, and it's not very reliable. My phone sometimes wakes up on my desk, and I notice that Sense2.5 is active (SmartLock obviously failed to auto-launch the WM screenlock). From my week-long experience with TouchLockPro, the screen locks immediately without that small lag, and it's very consistent.
There must be a way!
I'd like to ressurrect this thread to see if anyone has any further ideas.
I also prefer to just use the power-button method of putting my phone into standby rather than mess around with screen locks or anything.
I've disabled wake-up-on-SMS. But it still wakes up whenever there's a reminder for an appointment.
Surely there's a way to stop this behaviour!....
It's an open question, so far...
As many of you, I would like to disable the device wake up for reminders. Same as you, I just want the sound and / or light notification for them.
I've been searching WEB, all XDA forum and my phone registry but I haven't found anything useful for reminders, just for SMS.
The same issue has been posted in other places (for example, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=615633) but there's no final answer yet.
Definitely, lock screen is not enough, because if the device wakes up and the screen turns on, it can keep on for a long time (caused by the screen being pressed because the phone movement inside the pocket) and battery drains very fast.
Sometimes when I'm typing on my Focus in an email, text or OneNote document, I want the onscreen keyboard to disappear so I can see the entire screen of text. Is there some way to make it disappear wihout closing out of the document entirely?
ummm hit the back key I would presume, works in the emulator for me(Getting my HD7 around December 7th)

Oh yeah. Excellent.
Thanks for the responses. Neither had occurred to me.
I've had a good search and this problem's come up quite a few times but I haven't found a working solution. To answer/reject calls the Desire requires a vertical swipe. This obviously causes problems when removing from a pocket. First off an F- for HTC in Product Design. You should test your products before producing them!
Ok, so what is the best solution? I don't understand the technology well, so I'm not looking for any complicated solutions - ideally I'd like a tested app. Can anyone recommend one from experience? Otherwise can anyone recommend another solution, other than orientating or holding the phone a certain way? Everyone's obviously in the same boat here. Thanks.
It's a capacitive screen.
You shouldn't be sliding the screen even if the screen slides against your pants. Don't put your fingers on the screen when taking it out.
It's the simple answer you don't want, but you're probably not finding any other results because it is that simple.
Slide to answer is similar to slide to unlock however, so you might have more luck finding workarounds that change the unlock mechanism and see if they happen to mention ways to change slide to answer.

When I used Sense ROM (switch to Oxygen some time ago) I used WidgetLocker with the option to hide an incoming call activated. I basically added an vanilla style slider (slide to right to unlock) over HTC's slide down to answer.
Is not a perfect solution because
- the program it's not free
- you have to swipe twice (once to right, once down) to answer a call
But it saved me a lot of trouble with answering too soon or rejecting calls
You could also try Incoming Call Plus, I didn't had the chance.

I hope for mankind's sake that you are not a designer. Ps it occurs too when removing it from a slide-in case, where my fingers have no connection with the screen.
@dboy - is it simple a matter of installing an app and then you have 'slide right to unlock' and it won't install anything else on the phone?
Has anyone tested Incoming Call Plus?

You install the apk and you get an alternative lockscreen that, among others, features slide right to unlocked on incoming call.
It has many other options: place any widget on lock screen, unlock by trackpad, custom sliders, show/hide notification bar, allow/disallow interactions on lock screen
Like any other market purchase you have 15 minute to decide if you want to keep it or click refund.
I use Lookout to make sure no malware lands on my phone, and so far I had no problems, it only changes my lockscreen.

Not with mine. So you're saying HTC design gets an F- for not testing the product with your particular conductive (there's your problem) case in your particular situation? That seems rather blunt.
If you don't want to try out Incoming Call Plus/whatever you could replace your case with a nonconductive one.
You can solve it with WidgetLocker as someone already told you.
Before widgetlocker I also saw sometimes that the Sense slider moved when I took the phone out of my pocket or my slide-in case, but never as far as it would accept the call.
Now I am using WidgetLocker with Sense slider but it does not use this vertical swype to accept calls. Does anyone know if there is an option to activate it? I would like to use the vertical swype in combination with WidgetLocker.
Thanks

WidgetLocker -> Menu -> Settings -> Popups -> Hide Incoming Call.
If check it should hide the vertical slide beneath a horizontal one. Uncheked it should show only the vertical slide.

If I check it, WidgetLocker hides the call and I have to unlock first, then get the screen with the green and red button to accept/reject the call. If i leave it unchecked this screen will pop over the widgetlocker slider. But its both not what I want . I would like to have the slider (that you can slide down for accept and up for reject) poping up when someone is calling me. Is this possible in WidgetLocker or not? Cannot find any option to activate it, just got the normal slider but without this function.

i am searhcing for the same answer..an ideea anyone?
If you're having problems with pocket answering calls, try this app. I've asked the developer to add some sort of incoming call protection, which he did. It works great for me. Before answering/rejecting a call, you have to short-press a precise software button. There's no way it can be pressed while in the pocket.
Later Edit: The feature is also be present in the free version, so try that one first.
Have been doing a bit more customising and almost set up properly but still a few hanging issues:
cormie said:
Sometimes when I unlock the phone, the brightness is set differently even though the ambience of where I am is the same, sometimes it could be dim and others bright and it doesn't really change.
Not fixed - CM7 issue
The Email app doesn't appear to be the best. It's very dark, is there any brighter theme available or maybe suggestion of another app for pop3 mail?
Not really an issue - APP Issue
I'm using GO SMS and unfortunately I'm still having an issue sending group messages, I've the option to seperate each message to each person into its own thread, sent a small group text, only to maybe 10 people yesterday and it split it into 4 separate threads, only 4 separate contacts who I sent it to as opposed to the 10, so where did the other 6 go? I couldn't check delivery status or anything.
Not Fixed -Possible App Issue, possible CM7 issue
Also with GO Dialer EX, I assume it's because I've over 1,900 contacts, but it freezes quite a lot if I'm going through my contacts/groups/adding new etc. Also you can't see the individual times of consecutive missed calls from one contact and if you have a missed call notification in the notification bar, clicking the notification used to clear the notification and bring you to the missed call screen, now it just brings you to the missed call screen but you have to go back to the notification menu to "clear" the notification, again, this didn't happen in sense and clicking to see the missed calls also cleared the notification. I also miss being able to just open up the dialer, press call on a blank field and it would call the last dialled, also with the way the call log is, I don't like that it groups the contacts together, I much prefer being able to see a log based on time only. Also by grouping the contacts together, you can't just click on a recent called contact and it will go to phone them immediately as you could with sense.
Not Fixed: App Issue, plus now discovered, if you have 2 missed calls, clear the notification and get 1 more missed call, the notification will come up again but say 3 missed calls
I miss the fact with Sense, you just clicked the clock and you got to your stopwatch/countdown timer/alarm straight away. Is there any way to get this back? Clicking the clock now brings me to a screen that isn't much use.
Fixed: App Issue - Got a separate stopwatch/countdown timer app and use stock alarm and using Go Weather widget
The included Calendar app widget has a few annoyances, you can't click a number to go straight to dialpad with from within an event, only 1 event is displayed in the widget and to go into details of that event you've to click into open the calendar first and then into the event. Again, the sense calendar app was better and you could also scroll through the events from the widget itself.
Fixed - Assigned swipe up and swipe down action to open calendar from home screen, this makes it just as quick as before to open the calendar app and gets right into the app, also I can now just click numbers and it opens the dialer, not sure what the issue was before but it's working grand now
Twitter widget is also worse than it was in sense, it only shows one tweet at a time as opposed to sense which you could again scroll down which is much handier if you're looking for say updates from AA Road Watch while stuck in traffic and you can just keep your eyes open for the AA logo on a scroll rather than clicking and clicking and clicking to see if they have any updates.
Not really an issue, I don't even use twitter that much
Calculator is too basic compared to sense one too
Fixed - Real calc
Another thing is I used to like to have "camcorder" shortcut instead of "camera" (I just feel it's better to have instant access to record something rather than photo it). You could easily then switch to camera if you want to photo something, there was no camcorder shortcut so I downloaded one, but it opens only the camcorder alone, as opposed to the same thing that you got when clicking the camera, in which you could easy switch between camera and camcorder. Any way to start that same thing, but just in camcorder mode by a shortcut?
Not really an issue, added camera and camcorder shortcut to home screens
Can someone also tell me if the CM7 "File manager" does the same as Astro? I installed Astro before realising there was a file manager there, guess there's no need for both so can I uninstall astro again? I'm only a very basic user that would be copying/pasting and installing apps via astro, so if this can all be done via file manager, I'll just get rid of Astro
Not really an issue, seems astro is better though, you can select multi select files in a folder to edit.move etc and just looks to be more options in general.

A few more issues then using Go Dev Team apps:
on froyo, I had handscent and loved the way if I got a text, the led would be a permanent blue until I read it. I checked this option in go sms too but it doesn't seem to be working at all. I tried flash on at 300ms and then off at 0, I also tried at 300/300 and it didn't seem to flash at all.
Have also noticed a bug in go sms where a different contact name could appear in someone elses text, which happened before with Handscent on froyo, was hoping it would have been fixed. I wonder is it go, or a bug with android itself that's causing this.
Hoping I can sort the above not fixed issues so any advice would be appreciated, the LED notification thing is a strange one, just doesn't seem to work at all for go sms but it may be something conflicting with the CM7 settings or stock settings? Any feedback appreciated!

Not sure what your reply means, are you on the dev team for go/cm7 or something? If so, have plenty of suggestions and bugs to report
I keep my Note 2 docked in my car in landscape mode. When someone calls me, it doesn't display the incoming call screen in landscape mode.
Can this be configured? If not, are there any dialer replacements I can look at as a work around? This is part of touchwiz so I'm not sure if I can even replace it.

go dialer is just that, a dialer. it will not effect the incoming call screen, incall screen, or the outgoing call screen. this is unfortunate but true. however, i feel very confident enabling landscape for the dialer/incall screen is a simple value change in some random xml file in some random place on the phones file system lol. now its just a matter of finding someone who knows which xml and what value.
Whatever, I have go Dialer and I can answer calls in landscape. Na na na boo boo, stick your head in doo doo

I've been searching for a solution to this problem for a while. Unfortunately, this is not the solution. The dialer / contacts screen are in landscape, but the actual in-call screen always reverts to profile view. This is just the same as stock. Go Dialer does not fix this problem.
LittleRedDot, if this works for you, can you please post a screenshot and let us know some other information about how you made this happen? Are you stock? If not, what rom are you using? Do you have any other rotation control apps you're using?
The only app I've seen that attempts to fix this is Ultimate Rotation Control. It DOES rotate the in-call screen to landscape, but forces the call buttons to cover 90% of the screen so you can't see caller ID or use the dial pad in-call.
- It really is frustrating...

I have to say - this one thing makes me furious with Samsung and their attention to detail. If y do any amount of driving and have every used CarHome by google you would understand how frustrating this is. Anyone find a way to make sure the in-call screen remains in landscape mode during the call?
Second question - anyone get CarHome to work correctly on the S3?
Maybe try Ultimate Scree Rotation and set the one-handed operation "Keypad & in-call buttons" setting on. Not sure if it would work, but worth a shot.
Please check out my thread below on this issue, as we found a solution a while back. My buddy Samurai was able to resolve this with some SecPhone.apk (your phone app) editing with a decompiler, and now it works beautifully. Photo shows up on the left with all your call buttons on the right. It's a bit of a pain to do if you're not familiar with decompiling/recompiling your phone's apk files, but this mod works perfectly.

Rotation Locker
I found a solution that will switch to landscape mode for incoming and outgoing call.
Incoming call and outgoing call's Portrait or Landscape setting is referred by using Home Screen's Portrait or Landscape value, so it will go into "Landscape mode" for incoming and outgoing call if you can rotate the Home Screen into "Landscape mode"!
So, "Rotation Locker" App can do it!, please download it via below link:
