so i have been using g config to try to control what apps my phone rotates the screen for. i have removed everything from the g config list that has i think out could be but the screen continues to rotate as there is a phone call coming on, this causes the thing screen to rotate as I bring the phone our of my pocket and it often is in the middle of rotating when I try to answer and it often has a hard time hitting th eanswerbutton while on transition.
anyone know of a way to keep the phone to stop rotating?
thanks,
jeff

So when I open Gconfig, the only apps that are set to rotate are:
skyfire
iGuidance
both my mail accounts
sms/mms
IE6
Album
Calculator
Opera
I noticed that on my Wife's phone that has the official Tmo rom does not do this.
Thanks, any other ideas?
remove anything with "dialog" youll loose email and text messaging rotation. but they all use the same window name.

Thanks Dude! The only thing that said Dialog was the sms/mms. I deleted that and then reset up the sms/mms and the phone app does not rotate anymore!!
Outstanding!!
I've had a good search and this problem's come up quite a few times but I haven't found a working solution. To answer/reject calls the Desire requires a vertical swipe. This obviously causes problems when removing from a pocket. First off an F- for HTC in Product Design. You should test your products before producing them!
Ok, so what is the best solution? I don't understand the technology well, so I'm not looking for any complicated solutions - ideally I'd like a tested app. Can anyone recommend one from experience? Otherwise can anyone recommend another solution, other than orientating or holding the phone a certain way? Everyone's obviously in the same boat here. Thanks.
It's a capacitive screen.
You shouldn't be sliding the screen even if the screen slides against your pants. Don't put your fingers on the screen when taking it out.
It's the simple answer you don't want, but you're probably not finding any other results because it is that simple.
Slide to answer is similar to slide to unlock however, so you might have more luck finding workarounds that change the unlock mechanism and see if they happen to mention ways to change slide to answer.

When I used Sense ROM (switch to Oxygen some time ago) I used WidgetLocker with the option to hide an incoming call activated. I basically added an vanilla style slider (slide to right to unlock) over HTC's slide down to answer.
Is not a perfect solution because
- the program it's not free
- you have to swipe twice (once to right, once down) to answer a call
But it saved me a lot of trouble with answering too soon or rejecting calls
You could also try Incoming Call Plus, I didn't had the chance.

I hope for mankind's sake that you are not a designer. Ps it occurs too when removing it from a slide-in case, where my fingers have no connection with the screen.
@dboy - is it simple a matter of installing an app and then you have 'slide right to unlock' and it won't install anything else on the phone?
Has anyone tested Incoming Call Plus?

You install the apk and you get an alternative lockscreen that, among others, features slide right to unlocked on incoming call.
It has many other options: place any widget on lock screen, unlock by trackpad, custom sliders, show/hide notification bar, allow/disallow interactions on lock screen
Like any other market purchase you have 15 minute to decide if you want to keep it or click refund.
I use Lookout to make sure no malware lands on my phone, and so far I had no problems, it only changes my lockscreen.

Not with mine. So you're saying HTC design gets an F- for not testing the product with your particular conductive (there's your problem) case in your particular situation? That seems rather blunt.
If you don't want to try out Incoming Call Plus/whatever you could replace your case with a nonconductive one.
You can solve it with WidgetLocker as someone already told you.
Before widgetlocker I also saw sometimes that the Sense slider moved when I took the phone out of my pocket or my slide-in case, but never as far as it would accept the call.
Now I am using WidgetLocker with Sense slider but it does not use this vertical swype to accept calls. Does anyone know if there is an option to activate it? I would like to use the vertical swype in combination with WidgetLocker.
Thanks

WidgetLocker -> Menu -> Settings -> Popups -> Hide Incoming Call.
If check it should hide the vertical slide beneath a horizontal one. Uncheked it should show only the vertical slide.

If I check it, WidgetLocker hides the call and I have to unlock first, then get the screen with the green and red button to accept/reject the call. If i leave it unchecked this screen will pop over the widgetlocker slider. But its both not what I want . I would like to have the slider (that you can slide down for accept and up for reject) poping up when someone is calling me. Is this possible in WidgetLocker or not? Cannot find any option to activate it, just got the normal slider but without this function.

nope its not.
i am searhcing for the same answer..an ideea anyone?
If you're having problems with pocket answering calls, try this app. I've asked the developer to add some sort of incoming call protection, which he did. It works great for me. Before answering/rejecting a call, you have to short-press a precise software button. There's no way it can be pressed while in the pocket.
Later Edit: The feature is also be present in the free version, so try that one first.
I was wondering if there were any modified AOSP Gingerbread phone.apk's floating out there that displayed in landscape mode. I usually put my DInc sideways when mounting for GPS and it would be really great if when I received a call the icons/text were oriented so that I could read it. Thanks.
Would love to see this too.

In your contacts, go into settings and enable landscape mode.
I think it'll make the dialer and everything go landscape.
I don't see "Enable landscape mode", though I do see "Enable sensor rotation". I have that enabled already, which allows a number of the UI's to switch to landscape mode, but not the phone UI that pops up when someone calls or when I am making an outgoing call. That is the UI I'd really like to figure out how to switch.

That's what I was talking about. I assumed it would affect the dialer, too.
Guess not. Sorry. :/
Does anyone know how to get the Lock Screen and Caller ID to support landscape on CM7?
Occasionally the lock screen will display in landscape but quickly reverts to protrait.
I have seen the caller id in landscape on other roms, so it should be possible.
Thanks,
Ben
Well, when I used to have CM7, the lockscreen would go landscape for a second and the sliders would be cut up in weird ways, so I always thought it was a bug. I've never seen a landscape caller ID, do you mean landscape while in a call?
Yes,the caller id is in landscape when the phone rings and while it is on the call.

I don't know man, I've never seen that really implemented. I saw it in the advanced settings for a rom I had on my old phone like last year but I don't remember it
I was hoping that CM7.2 RC1 would have this option but it doesn't. I drive a lot and have my phone in a vent holder in a landscape position the whole time. Even when I am charging my phone in the office I have it propped up with the kickstand.
Landscape Caller ID is in CM7.2.RC1. It is under the Settings -> Call Settings -> Enable Sensor Rotation....
All I need is the locksreen to have this option and I would have the perfect rom...
Hey guys,
I'm trying to get the phone to display the messages when I'm replying in landscape. Currently, if I rotate the screen to landscape, it will show me the messages from that contact. When I press in the message field to reply the landscape keyboard will pop up and the reply message box will take up the entire screen. I'd like to be able to reply and still see the messages from the contact. I've tried Go SMS Pro and Handsent and they both do the same thing so I'm sure the setting is a global setting in the phone, I just can't figure out where it is.....does anyone know?
I attached 2 screen shots of what it looks like in portrait and landscape. I'd like to get landscape to behave like portrait somehow....
Thanks!
I hate that also
