Don't want to (auto) rotate!

Each time the keyboard slides in or out the screen rotates.
Usually I slide the keyboard out to work with the device. After working I power off the device and slide the keyboard in.
When working again I slide the keyboard out and turn it on (usually it turns on after sliding automatically)
But, it seems that while the screen was off the device rotated anyhow! This means that it has to rotate again when I turn it on. I don't want this. When the device has to rotate, I will do it manually!
So, does anyone know how to disable all this automatically rotating?
I do not understand what you mean. I followed what you did and whenever i turned the screen back on the rotation was always correct as to whether i had the keyboard in or out.

The problem sometimes is that rotating takes some time. In between the screen stays black. So it looks as if the device does not respond and therefor I press the power button once more. I now learned to perss some button on the keyboard - when the light goes on the device is on, but thinking what to do to rotate.

Landscape switch?

Hey,
is there a program that allows me to swtich to landscape and back when I want it?
Like when pressing a button it changes to landscape, when I press it again it goes back to normal

You could use AE Buttons Plus and assign any key to rotate the screen.
Nevermind, it's a standard feature if you go to Start - Settings - Buttons
and select <Rotate screen> or sth, I have a dutch phone
One difference though, with AE it's possible to rotate the screen not only 90 but even 180 and 270 degrees.
I'm able to switch from landscape to portrait and vice-versa by holding the left soft key for a few seconds. I'm running one of Jack's ROMs though, so he might have added something that enables this.

Disable sleep mode while keyboard open?

Is there any way to disable the sleep mode only while the keyboard is open? I have it set to go into sleep mode after 1 minute which I find suitable but not when I have the keyboard open. The problem is sometimes I'll hesitate and do something else while in a text or doing whatever and it'll go into sleep mode. The thing is I have the "Disable power button" cabs installed so I dont accidentally turn the screen off while typing on it. So when the 1 minute is up, I can't even hit the button to get out. I have to close the keyboard, take it out of sleep mode, then reopen the keyboard. Kind of a pain. Anyone seen anything in the registry to edit this?

[Q] Typing in landscape mode and the bottom buttons

Hi,
When typing in landscape mode doesn't your right hand/finger/whatever touch/hit/activiate one of the touch buttons at the bottom? When I type on my IPhone my thumb is definately very close to where the most left touch button is on the DHD. I have searched for some video of this typing but havent found any - do you have some links for that perhaps?
Thanks

Just use the Speech prompt Command!! less fiddling with typing!!
or
BlueTooth keyboard at home or work!!
or
Keep Guessing!!
( No, you dont touch the other buttons, UNLESS u GOT large JUMBO finger xp )
Main reason I left behind my iPhone was because Lacks of Speech Command to Type.
Got so Used to Dragon Speech from Work for all my Tools and Computer Works.
No, you must be holding your phone in your palms lol. Just let it sit in your hand when your holding it or even lower and you'll see that there's now alot of space left for fingers to type and the buttons are not even close.
I even took a picture for you

Samsung Galaxy S tablet caught mid process is de-bricking

Hey there,
So I had my Galaxy S tablet completely bricked. No boot loop. No "stuck on logo" issue, just completely off and nothing was turning it on. I found a thread here that had all of the different button combo options and I tried them all until finally getting this thing into download mode. When prompted I pressed the volume down button to exit download mode and let the tablet reset automatically as was to be expected. Or at least enter the charging screen while remaining powered down. I'm plugged into my PC and after pressing the volume down button I was taken to a screen with the green Android logo and the text beneath reading "Downloading.../Do not turn off target!!" as well as some technical info in the top right corner informing me that I am in Odin mode.
It has been on this screen for over 15mins now. How long do I have to wait before the device will either shut down properly, restart, etc? And what exactly is being downloaded even though I exited download mode.
Thanks!
