hi, I am curious where to go to set the tilt 2 to automatically lock to the winmo 6.5's screen after like a few minitues of not use. I konw that if I press the end call button for a few sec, it locks it but is there a way to do it automatically after a few minutes?
thansk.
Try This
I can give you a suggestion, but I have the Verizon version, so it may be a little different. I also may depend on your ROM...
Goto Settings > System > Smart Lock. Checkmark Dim Lock box.
Goto Settings > System > Power. Select Backlight, set backlight dim time, and then your device will auto lock when your backlight dims.
I also use Gyrator to auto lock my phone when I turn it upside down. (I always insert in my pocket upside down (Reverse portrait), but I never use it upside down, and this prevents unwanted button/screen presses while in my pocket.)
thnak you so much for the reply. It appears to me that the ATT version has slightly different setting for it. I do see the lock option but that would require a password, anyway to still let it enabled without any password? anyone with ATT can shine some lights.

I believe the Lock Setting Devoncoon is referring to is fixed with SmartLock (app here on XDA). That might help to download that app, if you have not done so. Once you install it, set it up as Devoncoon instructed you, and you will not require a password lock.
My screen no longer rotates when I turn my phone. I cannot seem to find the setting to change it? Did something change in the most recent update that took away screen rotation? Any help is appreciated.

It didn't change. It's still in the Quick Settings (see User Manual).
Here's what I got
You know that you can scroll the quick settings and edit them

Anyone knows how to rotate screen? I tried Closed App Settings but it doesn't work. Tried several other apps and modules. Nothing works to rotate screen.
I need rotation to force Here Maps into portrait mode in which it is possible to access settings and change map location from internal to external SD location. (Yes I know that most other settings are available in driving mode even on landscape but storage location is only available in default settings which are blank in landscape mode - known issue in Here)
The g-sensor on my phone broke, so the automatic screen rotation stopped working for me. So I've been using this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.crape.rotationcontrol&hl=en
It has a menu bar that lets you choose between landscape and portrait mode.
It works well on my phone. Hopefully it works on your radio.
i think you would have to change the allow rotation flag in the mysql db to true to actually get it to rotate and then echo it in there every time the thing starts

IIRC you can get to the settings on the bottom of the screen in driving mode.
So one of the reasons I updated for beta was that auto rotation feature. That even if I have it disabled my phone will suggest me on my navigation bar that I can click and change the orientation of the screen.
However I don't know if it's only me but it's not working at all. I'm on YouTube , or chrome or any other app and that aware button that should appear on my navigation but just doesn't appear at all. Every time I want to change to landscape I need to scroll my status bar and enable it on quick actions.
Anyone expericing the same problem or knows how to fix it?
Thanks for your help in advance
Not me...
How did You get P? By updating or flashing the image? Did you performed the Factory Reset?
I'm also facing the same problem. I did ota update from DP1

From the normal view (video at top, details and comments below) if I rotate device landscape nothing happens.
If I press the expand icon in corner of video it goes fullscreen and landscape even when holding device portrait.

Whatever is said happens to all when auto rotate is OFF.
With auto rotate ON, youtube is rotating when I rotate for me and all is working well w.r.t rotation.
My build number shows PPP2.18*****. I did not do clean install either. Just enrolled n got updated without wipe

You clearly don't know what I'm talking about.
We this video with the new feature is Android P. Around 2m20s it shows the new feature that, even if you phone has the auto rotation OFF, when you rotate your device, a new icon appears on your navigation bars where you can tap and change the display to landscape. All with auto rotation OFF. To give you the opportunity to change it or not. If you have the auto rotation ON, Everytime you change your home orientation, it will go landscape mode even if you don't want to.
So that's the feature that's not working on mine. With auto rotation OFF ( how it should be ) when im in chrome, in YouTube , in all other apps and I change my screen orientation I don't get the icon appearing in navigation bar.

Sorry for the confusion.
What I mean is auto rotate works fine.
Even the new feature of rotation suggestion also works fine for me.
Check my screen shot attached. Rotation suggest icon is properly appearing in my nav bar when auto rotate off in youtube. However the icon appears for few seconds time limit and when we click it it stays with nav bar to re-rotate.
I shared build number to see there might be any differences due to region or something etc...

Yeahhh it's exactly that. I don't know why it doesn't appear on mine . It's so useful when I'm at bed watching YouTube...
You did anything to activate it or it just appeared?

Found a simple way to check if auto rotate screen is activated.
Swipe down from top of screen.
On my Samsung Galaxy A50 it's the 4th icon from the left. Mine was not activated for some reason.
I pressed icon to activate.
Problem now solved.
This is just one way of changing setting, and to me the easiest.

Swiping down the screen is called quick settings or qs in short
Did not know that "quick view" was referring to pulling down from the top of screen. I found it in the display by chance. So in the end my question was answered several times. I thank all who responded so quickly. Cheers ...Peter
