Hi,
I wondering if there is a hack or any kind of mod that allows epic to have screen upside down. I searched around the forum, and none had answer except to get CM7.
Since we got Gingerbread 2.3, I am wondering if there is a hack.
This site mentions way to enable 180 deg rotation for 2.3: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...e-rotations-by-90-but-enable-rotations-by-180
I recently busted AUX cable in my car because of inconveniently placed audio slot for our epics..
Let me look for this. I know I had it on a ROM in the past. I am not sure if it was intentional or not. It was 360 degrees. It didn't matter what way I turned my phone, the screen rotated in every direction.

Thanks for looking,
I searched through out internet, and looks like only solution right now is to get CM7.
I am wondering how other people are handling having aux port on top of the phone?
Is there an music app that flips upside down? just flip the image of control buttons and display? I wouldn't think that would be hard...
Did some digging and it was an error in my ROM or kernel I believe. It was quite some time ago but it is possible as you found out however if CM7 does it, you still are going to have to wait for a bit

Given the charger is at the top of the Galaxy S - when I plug it into my Idapt charger the phone is upside down.
I'm looking for an app to turn the screen upside down - like an extension of the protrait/landscape functionality on turning the phone on its side.
I've searched but to no avail
Can anyone help?
Even I wanted something like that.
I looked and found it had been enabled on cyanogen.
Which version of cyanogen I don't know. Theoretically android should be able to do 360 rotation.
I'd love if anyone had any suggestions.

Some roms for some phones enable it

I am beginning to notice some screen burn in along the notification bar, and surprisingly enough, the keyboard keys. Is there any way to clear some of the burn in, or maybe prevent more burning?
Hmm get a new phone? But seriously I've noticed some odd shading on mine and any fix for this would probebly help me.

There are programs designed to fix dead pixels by rapidly turning them on and off; I wonder if you could use the same method to fix this problem. Bump out of curiosity.
Not sure if this counts or will work
But on my old psp I had this problem and I left the screen on a.black image for like six hours and it went away
For AMOLED I'm sure it would hafta be a white screen but it may work Idk

Bump for more ideas?
Did they fix the front facing camera's awkward orientation yet?
Not really sure what you are referring to, but my front facing camera seems to work as normal on EF02
Whenever I tried to use a video chat app it would rotate everything 90°

I've noticed that, while it may sometimes appear rotated to you, it's not always rotated to the receiver (or they may just rotate their device assuming it's supposed to be that way).
Hi all, my mom recently bought the captivate glide. (it is a rogers one, i927r is the model number... & the rogers boot animation is a giveaway lol)
Anyways, it's unlocked, stock, not rooted & she's using it on straight talk at&t.
Here's the issue: the auto-rotation is shoddy/a little over zealous.
Even if the phone is upright, if she/I goes in the messaging app, or any other app, or menu, the screen auto rotates into landscape mode. The only way to fix the issue is to take the auto-rotate option all the way off... which sucks because l obviously she needs it for other things.
I come from a gnex & don't really know much about this device. I thought it would be a good crossover phone for her as this is her first smart phone.
Please, any help/insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I too have noticed the rotate to be at times over zealous. The way that I worked around it is to disable the auto rotate and when I need it to rotate simply open the keyboard tray as that will still rotate the screen even if the auto rotate is disabled. I know it is not the solution you are looking for but just letting you know what worked for me. I see you did mention not wanting to turn off auto rotate but the way I do it you have a work around. Good luck

Thanks for the replies. I wouldn't mind a workaround, but I feel my mom will. Looks like this device may be going back.

I'm not sure if we are talking the same issue but 2 or 3 times the rotation seems to get 90 or 180 degrees off. Turning off auto rotate worked around it until I could reboot which made it go away. I've had the phone for 9 months and it hasn't happened in a long time.

I'm not positive it's the same issue or not. I helped my mom move from Verizon to prepaid at&t (straight talk). Purchased a brand new captivate glide. If the phone is upright (portrait) & I open the messaging app or settings/anything... the phone will go into landscape, no reason at all. Takes a lot to have it rotate back to portrait & when it finally does, it spazzes out & rotates back into landscape, again for no apparent reason. It's stock, not rooted, on 2.3.6.
I've had a lot of android phones & none have ever done this. Again, any help/insight is appreciated. Thanks.

So just now my screen started flickering and it goes black when I slide my keyboard out, but a simple power on-off fixes it.
First of all, this is very tidious and annoying to do -.-
Second, I fear the screen will eventually stop working at all.
So my question, has anyone experienced this before and can give me and info on it? Would flashing a new Rom probably fix it? It doesn't seem to affect anything else at this moment, but I don't know what this little glitch will lead to.

A lil more info, the screen seems to flash on/off at the second I slide the screen up. When the screen goes black, it still works and responds to any touch as normal, but I just can't see anything at all.
Could this be a LCD problem? Or screen brightness?

Well, my gut tells me that the back light is going out, but I can't be sure. Is the screen really dark (as in, you can barely see anything in it if you shine a flashlight on the screen) or is it off (can't see anything in it at all, even with the flashlight). Also, what ROM are you using and so on?
Thanks for your help, but I'm getting used to it now. When I decide to flash a new ROM, if that solves it then great, and if not, I guess ill just use the phone till the screen blows out. This is only my media phone so its not a big deal and since the problem hasn't gotten worse over the 2 weeks I'm hoping it won't.
