Hello,
I broke my touch screen and I change it with new from ebay, but after install it the rotate screen doesn't work, it was working fine with the other screen.
Can it be from the screen who don't have this function? Maybe I must upgrade the Universal again with the Rom to recognize the new screen?
Can some one help me?
Many thanks.
Jean Marc.
Hi,
What do you mean by "rotate screen" not working?
You are unable to "rotate", or change the orientation of the screen by yourself, when you press the relevant system setting option?
Or instead you are speaking about the auto-rotate screen function that is trigerred when you put (turn) the display facing the keyboard or facing you?
The answers will be different...
Regards,
P
If I remember correctly, there is a tiny magnet that is clipped on the edge of the screen housing that controls the orientation of the screen. Make sure that magnet didn't pop out while installing the new screen. Look in the Universal Service Manual to get details.

Hello,
I speak about auto-rotate screen function when I turn the screen, I didn't saw any tiny magnet clipped on the edge of the screen housing, I will chek on manual.
Thanks.
Have a look at the following thread. I know it's for the Hermes, but it shows pics of the kind of magnet you are looking for:

You will also be able to work out where it should be, by locating the magnet operated switch - again there are pics of what to look for.

I had the same problem
Hello Jean Marc
I also had this problem, you just forgot the little magnet mounted near the screen, it's used to tell uni if it's landscape or portrait ...
Good luck

thanks a lot for this info, good it was that I didn't trow the frame, and I found back the small magnet that I'd put in his place. now it work fine.
Thanks again, jean-Marc.
Hello. I have got the same problem with my Wizard. Could someone tell me where the magnes should be locatated ?
Im not sure where the settings for gyrator controled events are stored, but if there is such a location could you help share your settings so we can all get a better grip of this great app?
I've tried adding some Events myself, but ive not been very successful.
Could someone help me get Gyrator to do some of the following:
* When TOMTOM is being used, I would like the screen to rotate landscape or portrait respective to the appropiate angle the HD is faced. However, I would like the rotation to stay fixed once the stylus is inserted. The rotation direction should only be able to change when the stylus is removed. (This should help me lock the screen to a landscape direction if needed or portrait if needed, and not have to worry about bumps in the road flipping my screen all over the place when driving.)
* When Windows Media Player is being used, I would like Gyrator not to rotate the screen whatsoever, because the WMP app seems to have G-Sen rotation already built in, and with Gyrator running, the phone gets very confused, and tries to show my video in lanscape on the portrait facing screen, thus chopping off half of the video)
* if anyone can suggest any other usefull Events that they've found useful, please let me know too (and if possible, let me know how to do it)?
Thanks.
BTW, ive looked at the Gyrator website, and their instructions are not the easiest to follow. (oh, and I find Gyrator 2 to be a much better app than the alternatives, hence why I am sticking with it - hoping I will learn how to use it much better)
Cheers.

That should have answers to all your needs (including WM Player and TT)
if you still have questions after reading the thread, let me know
Thanks, that helped wonders!
I'm assuming that the zoom bar is just an extension of the resistive touch screen beyond the visible screen, so what are the chances someone will make a program/hack that will let you use it for other functions, like a dpad and a mouse?
TD2 users already have it sort of working as a scroll wheel.
I've been watching the M900 on Pocketnow, and while I'm not swayed, the potential of the navigation functions of the biosensor do wow me. It'd be a welcome addition I think. I'm new to xda-dev, but whenever I've come across the name/link, it's always with effusive praise and admiration. I figure if anyone will, it will be someone here.
Bump for this one!!
As soon as I saw the zoom bar on the TD2 and TP2 and the limited functionality of usage only in messaging, web browsers and pictures, it just screamed hack hack hack
I was also thinking gestures like the Palm Pre...
ooooh... I'm intrigued! I'd like to see what some developers can put together for this. That would be a sweet feature to hack.

Agreed. The zoom bar seemed like a good idea when I first read about it, given the multitouch zooming was a no go with the resistive screen. But then in the reviews, it just seemed so under-utilized.
I'd love to have a configuration utility that let you use it in different ways in different applications, kind of like some screen rotating apps let you set up rotation differently for different apps.
Or like the Jog Dial on the hermes. (only wished the TP2 had that, and it would have been perfect. One handed control of the device...). But it will have to be pretty precise, and it isn't yet.
If it can register touch pressure (tapping) I would like 2 see 4 sectors (up down left right)

D2 Zoombar as buttons request asks for 3 buttons. Hopefully someone will do more.
Would LOVE to see 3 or 4 buttons on the zoom bar!!
(And maybe sliding button 1 to the right or button 4 to the left still means scrolling)

The main screen can tell the difference between a press and a flick, so I imagine the zoom bar could have assigned buttons and still scroll.
Hi All
For my TP2, i'd really like to have Zoom Bar that zooms ....everything!!
I would like to just zoom the screen (any screen) to a larger size. I did kinda think (or at least hope) that it was what it was going to do anyway, not just zooming pictures, browser etc.
I would like the simple (??) funtion of being able to zoom any app, any screen, anything - to be able to read stuff maybe a little more easier.
I do use glasses for reading only and it is a real drag to have to get them out to read a text clearly, or see whose calling or just to get a better look in daylight etc.
A zoom 'anything' or 'any screen' would be really awesome and a supremely useful utilisation of something that is already there. Then you couild just drag the screen around to get to what you want to see better (yes, just like a picture, so basically i guess, the current screen becomes like a picture).
The other ideas of buttons, d pads and so on all sound great too, but this would probably benefit so many people get better use out of their devices.
I wonder if it can be done...????
Cheers and happy TP2ing.

Probably better than just magnifying the screen, for readability in text heavy apps at least, would be setting font sizes to the zoom bar--zoom up, Font Sizes get larger, zoom down, they get smaller. I think that might actually be enabled in some text apps already, but I'm not sure. The touchpad on my Acer Aspire One does this in some word processors.
For things like Caller ID, a screen magnifier would be needed. I'm guessing you'd need a resident program to be able to do this anywhere and everywhere.
Thx fortunz
All true, but wouldn't the simple 'magnify the whole screen' thing be a really (really) good thing to have - and logical too. Just an extension of the way it works for images. Just seems like something that it should do.
I did notice on the HTC Manila 2.5 demo video from Germany, in the Settings area, under 'Other', there was a setting for 'HTC Magnify'.
Uncertain of any further details, but it could be just what i am talking about, maybe!
Cheers to all

I don't disagree at all.
zoom as scroll and on manila start screen not only inside
I just wish the zoom ball zommed in on pictures (going towards center of picture) rather than how it works in opera (the upper left corner)
Bump...
Anybody anything?
i would be interested to know if this is possible too.
I would luv the zoom bar to wash my car and mow the lawns for me... any chance?
....LOL....
Yeah, the zoom bar is really under-utilized. I often forget it's there and go to screen -> larger text to increase my fonts... Guess it's because it only works in a few apps. Without realizing, I've gone to settings -> screens before I realize I have a zoom bar...
Would love to see some gurus here hack this to a mini d-pad, or at least and up/down arrow. Currently, I have the vol up/down to do this using AEB.
i agree with all of these .. we need a genius programmer to make some kind of super aeb where you could have different button profiles and set a shortcut to profiles on the homescreen .. my perfect setup would be to have zoom be able to switch open applications and somehow map the back conference mute thing to play/pause in music player .. or have zoom button be able to switch songs for you (like with screen off/lock on) and hold for running applications list ... then have it all skinned pretty like some translucent palm pre thing .... lol .. just dreaming..

they can also utilize in racing games like as steering wheel instead of touching the screen
Hi
I noticed that the direction of trackball movement is opposite to that of the screen flicks when moving across the 7 home screens. One has to do exactly the opposite when using the trackball to that using finger flicks on the touch screen. I wasn't sure if this was intentional or not and therefore wanted to know if anyone is aware of how to reverse the trackball direction via a setting?
Thanks
No one?
Guys
Does no one have any thoughts on this? Surely someone must have thought that this doesnt feel right?
regards
Simply, there are two intentionally different mechanics at work:
When flicking, you are moving the whole world under your view/focus, while the view/focus stays still (flicking to the left slides everything off to the left, bringing the pane to the right into view)
When using the trackball, you are moving your focus point (highlighted icon) and when this moves beyond your view, your view follows. Moving the focus to the left of the pane causes the view to have to follow and bring the left pane into view. It's like looking at an object beyond your current field of view in real life, you must turn your head to bring it into view.
This probably doesn't belong in this forum though
biosehnsucht, many thanks for your response. I understand the need for it to work in this way. It was just that I was confused with the intent of such an action and wanted to know if we could change 'any setting' if at all, to reverse it.
I'm not 100% sure if this is the right sub-forum for this question, but hopefully someone can help or at least point me in the right direction.
I'm making some minor tweaks to my Note 10.1 (2014), and as part of the process I swapped out the images for the "grab tab" to make it less conspicuous on the screen. The one other thing I would like to do but am unsure of where to start or how feasible it is would be to alter the "snap-to-center" position of the tab. The app calculates the center-point of the home screen but does not account for the area used by the notification bar, which results in the tab actually being slightly below center when it has been snapped to the center position, which isn't that noticeable in the landscape mode but it's (almost) right next to the home button in portrait mode. To put it plainly, this stimulates my OCD in a very negative manner...
So, does anyone know where I might find the script/code that controls the "snap-to-center" functionality so that I could try making some minor alterations? I browsed through almost all of the XML files in the decompiled app and didn't see anything obvious, but it seems like it should be in there somewhere, right?
I've attached a photo that kind of illustrates what I mean by the position being lower than center and its relative position to the home button. (Please excuse all the smudges on the screen!)
