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.

App to link Incoming call volume and notification volume?

No way to link the two? Can't turn down notifications with the main volume..

Get Quick Settings from the Market for free. Open it, go to Volume Control, tick the check box at the top and then click Set. Back out of the app and never worry about it again.

This from stock ROM.
Menu>Settings>Volume

[REQUEST/SUGGESTION] Slide to unlocked BEFORE pin/passcode

One great thing I love about the E4GT, is the ability to slide to open new message, missed call, etc. Now, I am from a Cuban family, and Cubans tend to be pretty nosy sometimes xD, and force of habit makes me put a pin lock on my phone. Whenever I do, I miss the ability of the TW4 slide to unlock, and the slide to notification. So just wondering if there was a way, could a dev make a file to put in somewhere on the phone to bring back the slide to unlock before the password, or incorporate this into a ROM? Just a suggestion/request.
And if someone wants to take this further, maybe incorporate a way for sliders to pop up for push notifications?
I'd do this myself, but I'm no dev.

huh..wtf..wow
So you have nosy people in your life and you want them to have access to your messages, but not any other part of your phone???

No no no. If you put a password lock on your phone, it will disable the standard swype to unlock, which includes the slide to open notifications. What I'm asking/suggesting is to somehow make it so that enabling the password lock will not disable the swype to unlock.

I would also like to have this ... my company's security exchange server protocol requires a pin to unlock my phone, I would like to have the "swype to unlock" screen before I get to the keypad where I enter the pin.

I've been asking for this and same notification volume level as ringer volume level lol

You can easily just do this with Widgetlocker. Just install it, download SGS II theme and set the security pin. By doing so, when unlocking with widget locker it will take you to the security pin screen instead of unlocking your device.
Give it a try.

MiLocker is another free one.

In still confused on the part about your noisy family...

why would you want to make your phone more inconvenient to use? what purpose does the lockscreen serve?

Thanks, I've actually already tried it, but there is a nice considerable battery drain, ontop of no more slide to notifications for texts, etc. , which is one of the main things I want.
I actually tried widgetlocker and had it on rotary, and one of the slides opened my inbox, but it always opens somewhere to the middle of my conversations, never to the top, and never to the new message like the standard loclscreen does. And the battery drain was wayyyyy to much.

It may seem inconvenient to you, but I spend all day sending text messages back and forth, and look the difference in steps.
As it is now:
On> Password> Home button out of any application I was on that wasn't messages> Tap messages> open the new message.
Now, after what I'm requesting/suggesting:
On> Slide new text slider> Password and bam! I'm at the message.
Huge timesaver for people who send text messages back and forth through the day.

why would you ask a dumb question instead of just providing a solution?

Why would this go in the Q/A section? It's a request/idea for other dev's. I just don't have the ability to develop this awesome lockscreen you speak of.

Vibration for notifications

I searched and could not find anything regarding changing the vibration pattern for an all stock note 2. Mine will only vibrate in a single long pattern, no matter what I set it to in the settings. I like to use the stock messaging because it's compatibility with the lock screen but I'd really like it to vibrate in a couple short pulses instead of that single long one. If I'm missing something I apologize but I have no idea what to change aside from the options in the settings menu. Any help or other information would be much appreciated, I'm sure it's something silly I'm missing anyway!

Go to settings- sounds-device vibration u can chabge it to a few different patterns

I am not sure! That is how the note 1 default notification vibrate was, the single long pulse. The sms mms one was a quick twin pulse, I'd prefer that! I like how the sms app works with the tw lock screen and launcher etc so I don't want to use another one if I can avoid it. I wish it would allow me to use a different vibration setting because my phone is silent a lot! I asked samsung and they gave me the ringtone answer. The service from the online chat is weak.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I downloaded the app and tried to set it up but it wanted to stop air view in the process. A related application was there

Which worked perfectly. Thanks foe the heads up, much appreciated.
