Everytime landscape mode shows up, I want to poke a brick to my Touch Pro2.
Any software or registry hack that can disable landscape mode permanently (even if you slide out keyboard)? I prefer the on-screen keyboard to the physical anyway.
Why did you go for a TP2 if you're not bothered with a keyboard? (Sorry, just inquisitive!).
Anyway, perhaps this thread may help a little. If you delete all the programs it may have desired effect (except for when you slide out keyboard).

Hi ... does anyone know how to activate landscape mode on a XDA 2s? I went to Settings -- System -- Screen but could not find any controls there.
landscape mode
just press the O2 button on ur keyboard!
Yep it worked! I had to do a hard reset though before I got that button to work. Something must have messed up my registry settings. Thanks a pile!
Does anyone use landscape as default? What do you think the advantages are?
I'm too used to using portrait I guess, but I suppose browsing web pages might be better in landscape...
I think the today screen looks better in portrait, unless there is an app that lets you split things into two verticle columns? Quick start buttons and info down the left and appointments down the right or something?
Saw that there is now a cab file for the HTC Diamond keyboard. [link]. Anyone know if this will work on the Touch?
Yes it does
I put it on my xv6900 & my xv6800- works fine.
any feelings on this keyboard? I started with the older HTC keyboard, then moved to TouchPal. I'm curious to try it out, but it looks like its just a skinned and mildly updated version of HTC keyboard.
Using the diamond keyboard on the VZW Touch right now. Works well, no real issues found as of yet. Like it for the fact that it has more buttons and I love the "Switch" for the ABC and xT9.

It works well but in QWERTY mode, the letter Z is missing
Mine has the Z on both phones.
I like that I'm not stuck with the qwerty keyboard in opera now on my touch
wonder if the diamond keyboard originally has the sound when you select the keys like the htc phonepad had?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm going to try out the Diamond kb, currently using PCM also. I also really appreciate the simplicity of the PCM and how it takes up very little screen space (compared to others), but I really hate that I have to change layouts to get to the period (.) key. IMO, this should be on the main layout, being a such often used key.
wow....has anyone failed to mention that the "qwerty" mode doesnt work in landscape?????? that is a huge drawback for such a nicely skinned keyboard....hope this gets fixed soon
I mainly use the keyboard layout. When I hit the shift key the characters show as caps and types a cap, but then stay displayed that way even though they are no longer typing caps (at least until I enter a space, then the displayed letters return to normal). Makes it hard to tell when I have caps turned on/off. If I tap the shift key a couple more times then the display will change back, but it's annoying. The landscape qwerty seems to be working fine for me, unlike what another user said (and it's not showing the shift display problem I mentioned).
It would be nice if when a key is pressed the enlarged view of the key displayed above the key, so that my finger is not covering it up. What I mean is like the way the PCM keyboard works, or like the iPhone.
Is there any way to make the on-screen keyboard enter the key I click first, as opposed to what key I am over when I take the stylus off the screen.
For example, if I use the Full QWERTY keyboard and press the E button, but drag my stylus over the R key and take my stylus off it enters R, not E. When I'm typing a message fast this can be a problem with keys at the side of the keyboard as I regularly enter S instead of A and B,N or M instead of a space. Does anyone know of a registry edit or some other way of stopping this from happening? Many thanks in advance!
Sorry, have entered this in the wrong forum! Meant to put it in the generic BlackStone one!
Dude,
That's a feature!
Most people prefer to be able to drag to another key, knowing they pressed the wrong one in the first place. It's kinda natural as our thumbs are bigger than most keyboard keys.
You haven't mentioned which keyboard you're using ? (As you're new... It's also known as a 'SIP'. Try seeking your answer using the search facility in this forum. You may have more luck outside the Blackstone forums)
If you want to just 'point n' shoot' without the drag option, then you could try reverting back to the plain-ole Windows supplied Keyboard (though I haven't tested this).
Seems like a step backwards though...
Cheers
Yup, choose "keyboard" that's the Windows standard keyboard (almost feature-free).
Firstly, cheers for your replies! I will have a look to see if I can disable the feature on the keyboard as I much prefer the Blackstone's Full QWERTY keyboard as it means I can use my thumbs when on the go, and the stylus when at a desk. The plain windows one isn't really what I'm after. Many thanks people!
I'm working in WM project. I want to disable slide feature in the phone. This mean, when user slide out the keyboard the screen will not rotate.
I think we can use registry value but I don't know which key.
Every body know how to do this, pls help me
Thanks
I've tried searching for this specific problem but can't find it.
I'm trying to figure out how to close the soft keyboard once it has opened?
In 6.1, I could just re-press the input selector and it would close.
In 6.1, I could just press anywhere in a non-input area and it would close.
Now in 6.5, when I press the input selector to close the software keyboard, it gives me the input selection menu instead (this would be tap and hold in 6.1). The only way to close the software keyboard now is to slide out the hardware keyboard then close. Is there an easier way to close the software keyboard ? I don't want to use a null keyboard fix, I just want to close the soft keyboard at will.
Thanks
(using May 1 NRG Titanium ROM)
You need to tap the left side of the icon to close the software keyboard. It's a bit of a pain and I'm not sure why software keyboard selector isn't under a menu since this is not something I change often. Opening and closing the software keyboard on the other hand is a common task. I might need to look at making a simple mortscript to tap the right spot and map that to a hardware key.
Thanks alot. That explains why the keyboard would go away every now and then when I pressed the input selector button...my finger are too fat.
maybe try re-aligning your screen
