I have a problem with Facebook messenger (only in landscape mode) and back button (at last seconds of film). Telephone isn't rooted, twrp or similar.

Background:
I regularly use my TP2 (Vodafone 6.5 stock ROM-for now- running TF3D) as a SatNav unit running TomTom 7.
I use Gyrator2 to auto-rotate TomTom & other apps incl Manilla
While doing this, I like to keep the device in landscape mode (it then looks like a stand-alone TomTom unit but with added bling haha!)
When actually driving I also use a BT Headset (although I dont think this is part of the issue)
Problem:
When I receive an incoming phonecall or press the phone button with TomTom running in landscape mode, a strange thing happens.
First, TomTom reverts to portrait, even thought the device is in landscape. Then the phone is displayed, also in portrait. When I hang up the call, the display reverts to TomTom, which is still in portrait.
This means I have to manually rotate the device to portrait & back to get TomTom to re-display correctly in landscape, OR leave the phone permanently in portrait mode so the phone doesnt muck up the display (which kind of negates the point of having a g-sensor!)
Observation:
1) I tried changing from Gyrator2 to ChangeScreen in case it was Gyrator that was the issue: ChangeScreen has a nifty 'vibrate' to tell you it is rotating the screen. Assuming the device is in normal portrait mode, I can press the SEND key & the phone comes up as normal: pressing 'X' at the top right returns to the TomTom screen again as normal.
However, when I press the phone send key when in landscape mode, ChangeScreen causes the phone to vibrate madly for a good second or 2 instead of the small buzz it usually does for a screen rotation, as if it is busy fighting whatever setting is trying to force the device into portrait: briefly part of the phone screen is displayed before it vanishes again returning me to the TomTom screen.
At the moment I will have no option to return to Gyrator2, but that also exhibits this strange "forcing into portrait" effect when I press SEND key or an incoming call is received. (but at least it DOES display the phone screen, albeit such that I have to turn my head sideways!)
2) if I extend the keyboard, thus forcing the device to work in landscape, I can smoothly open the phone, straight into landscape, no glitches, all working perfectly; and when the phone app is closed manually or automatically TomTom smoothly returns, again in landscape, as it should.
Questions:
Is there a way of "kidding" the TP2 I have the keyboard slid out when I dont, in order to force the phone to display correctly, OR does anyone know if a simple registry edit will prevent phone from trying desperately to force the device into portrait mode before displaying?
On my old Kaiser I had screen rotation mapped to a spare hardware key. OUr TP2's only come with ONE hardware key, which I have set to MSVC. is it possible to create a 'screen rotation' shortcut similar to what was found on my old Kaiser?
If it's of any help, I have noticed this odd effect with both the Vodafone 6.5 & generic HTC Euro 6.5 ROMS (device is HardSPL'd)
I used keyboard config to map a doubleclick to screen rotate. That way I have more control.
Hi all,
I searched the forums with no luck on any info on this problem. I had this issue suddenly with Juicy's R8 and now today with Mighty's latest WAR rom.
Randomly the screen will wake itself up for no reason. It will be on the charger and not on the charger at times. As well no email or sms is being received. I immediately push the sleep button to turn the screen back off and then about 2 sec. later the screen comes on again a final time and again I have to manually turn it off.
This happens about 2-3 times a day.
Programs I installed:
HD Tweak
Midomi
PPC Personalizer (to device)
SPB News
Audio ParaBoost (to device)
arelas Sliding Sound Complete (to device)
Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging (to device)
Home Tab small icons Colored (to device)
yzyn 6_1_and_6_5_21xxx (to device, adds color to the sms conversations)
Any help would be appreciated!
I have no experiance w/custom roms, but on my sprint tp2 this has happened also. i have noticed it is happening i areas where the phone is swiching from EVDO to 1x or the other way arround. so if your a weak signal area where it my be intermittently going between 1x & 3g you will have the screen turning on constantly. hope this answers you question accurately.
Not using windows live mail on the push setting are you? Mine did this sometimes before i set it to sync every hour rather than 'as items arrive'.

This happenes to my phone when i am getting a mms message as well. I disable the screen to not turn on when i get a sms but i don't know how to do it for the mms
I am using QQ Launcher because both on the lock screen and dock it adds an indicator as to the number of missed calls and/or unread SMS messages. I could get this functionality using other apps but together they would use more memory than QQ Launcher alone. Aside from that it's a very attractive launcher.
My problem is with the lockscreen I have installed. It displays a disc in the middle of the screen. When you touch the ring you see a display of four icons: call, messaging, home and camera. All of these *except* for the camera work as expected. When I select the camera the app launches as expected but instead of the thumbnail of the photo taken previously, it shows a Cancel button. When I press the shutter button the camera app responds as normal but immediately after I have three buttons: OK, Cancel and Retake. If I touch OK the camera readies itself to take another photo. The problem is that in fact no photo is recorded. It certainly works if I unlock the screen *then* launch the camera app and take the photo. I just can't understand where these weird extra buttons appear from since they're don't usually appear. I am certain I have only 1 camera app installed.
I'm facing a weird issue with the Z5P touchscreen (tapping) action on the top left side of the screen panel, the usual location for the (back arrow <-) or the (Menu Icon).
1- after reboot everything works fine
2- after an hour or so, sliding (for example the facebook chat head) is detected over this area, but leaving it then tap to open is not detected, same happens with any application back arrow or menu icon, even the (back) of the settings for example.
3- in landscape mode the same area (the top left side) is not detected when tapping over, although the touchscreen panel location is changed now its at the top right, as i rotated the device clock wise
4- after reboot every thing works fine for an hour or so, then the issue is back.
tried the services test, the sliding touch is detected allover the screen, but at the (tap test) tap is not detected at box no# 1. this is weird for me as if there was a problem in the touch sensor, the problem should exist at the same location, even if i rotate the device, but it stays at the (back) arrow when the device rotates.
tried PCC software repair with no luck so far.
The Fix:
Facebook Messenger was the cause for this issue, by removing it the issue is gone immediately without even a reboot
Did you try disabling chat heads to see if it was only a chat heads problem? Because I have messenger installed and I don't have this problem.
thanks man, works like a charm

unfortunately, the issue occurred again even the chat heads was disabled
Just delete the facebook messenger app. Must be a bug. That's the only way I got my problem to go away.
2071-3 on a12 retus fresh 100% wipe and install, have a weird issue where normally the external screen works perfectly no matter what page or activity (weather, dialing, texting, other apps in general), but when there is a notification in the tray and you try to touch or swipe or whatever to view it the screen is 100% unresponsive. you cant swipe up, down, left, right or touch the tooltip, its completely dead to touch (but displays just fine) until you open the phone and clear the notification tray. its very weird. sometimes if you swipe the screen right after turning it on you can move into another page and it works perfectly fine as normal as long as you dont try to interact with the home page, but if you go back and stay there or try to touch the noti it becomes unresponsive again.
is this a known bug? is there a fix? the only other thing i can think of is that i disabled some of the bloatware apps it came with and one of them might be responsible for the functionality? i have disabled the following, and none of them except where noted would seem like they would have any effect on this:
google assistant
astro odyssey
demo mode
device help
google duo
google files
google games
google one
google tv
moto
moto display (yes i know, i turned it back on and it didnt fix it)
moto feedback
moto notifications
youtube
yt music
