Rotate screen only when keyboard is out

Is there a way to keep the screen from rotating unless the keyboard is open?

I believe you do thise by going to Settings>Display>uncheck outo rotation. Hope this helps!

Your welcome any I thanked you on that thread.

There's also a toggle in an app called quick settings. Configure to acces from pulldown and "quick" control "settings". Autorotate is one I have enabled, along with wifi, screen timeout, and auto sync. The rest we already have in the pulldown: wifi, bluetooth, gps,4g ect.

just uncheck auto rotation on the display settings

No LED app Alternative?

Apologize if this already exists.
would it be possible for one of the talented developers in our forum to add an option to have the four buttons (menu, home, back, search) blink to notify of a new message, email, missed call, etc? or maybe be able to choose a button for a particular event, like menu button flashes for new emails, home button flashes for missed calls, etc.

Try noled from the market.

Noled is what I am using on mine and it is working great! Just be sure to activate it in accessibility in settings

thanks for the replies. yeah, i am using noled as well and it works well. i was just thinking being able to have the backlight of the buttons flash as a notification instead of the screen would use less battery. does noled have that option and i am missing it?

Then use bln

You need kernel support for bln which we don't yet have.....:'(

BLN (back light notification) is an app that allows the 4 capacitive buttons on our phone or any other Android device to blink as a notification whenever you receive a message, missed call, voicemail etc. You can download the app from the Android market but for now it will be useless to us because we do not have a kernel to support this feature. You must first be rooted and then flash a custom kernel that has BLN enabled in order to use the app/function. I believe that a custom kernel is in the works since all Galaxy S phones had custom kernels to support this feature. Even the Nexus S (which isn't Galaxy S) supported this feature once a custom kernel was installed. For now I recommend downloading and using NO LED (can be found in the MARKET) in the meanwhile.

BLN support cannot come soon enough. NoLED is such a battery killer

I keep my haptic feedback set very low. Missed message flasher seems to vibrate at the same intensity as haptic feedback so it's nearly useless. Does this happen to yours or am I doing something wrong?

Uninstall app, then reinstall! then when done go to widgets and put the noled widget on screen, then delete widget. also u can go into menu and turn it on in settings and it also has a test feature also. Plus the dev is very helpful, if u have problem look him up on xda.

Screen dimming when opening emails

Hi
Not sure if anyone else has had the same problem or even come across it before but I've got a weird issue in that when I open the email client the screen dim making it more difficult to read the emails, come out of the email client and it brightens up again, ive not got auto brightness set and have tried factory resets but still it persists.
Phone is stock 4.1.2 but was doing this prior to stock update last night on 4.1.1. BTU unlocked handset
Any ideas?

[ion] Smartdock hdmi out screen size issue with JB

I use my ion as a HTPC with the smartdock. I've noticed that since I installed JB when I fire up the ion and view it on the TV the scaling is off. the edges are being cut off. Top, bottom and edges. It's not bad but still annoying. There are no settings on the TV to adjust the size.
Never had this issue with ICS. Can anyone else confirm the same issue?

[Q] Terrible lag when turning off the screen?

Has anyone else noticed that there a noticeable lag when turning off the screen? The slight fade out animation seems to stutter and there is about a 1-2 second delay from when i press the power button to it actually doing something. This is probably one of the weirdest places for a phone to lag.
Anyone else have this problem?
I'm running on stock rooted BTW.
EDIT (more info): This doesn't happen right after a factory reset. I takes a bit of time for it to happen which makes it seem like some app messing it up, but it happens even if there isn't anything installed besides the default stuff.

Could you link them? I looked in the Q&A section and didn't find anything. The search feature is currently down so I cant use that. If this is in fact a duplicate thread, then I'll get it closed up.
