The Hermes uses a magnetic sensor to determine when the keyboard has been fully opened and triggers the switch to landscape mode and back.
This causes my screen to switch to landscape mode every time I put it into my Seidio case with a magnetic cover latch and I have to wait for the screen to switch back to portrait whenever I remove it.
Can any current owners tell if the Kaiser works the same way?
Thanks in advance.

The answer is yes it does use a magnet operated switch.
BUT - the Kaiser rotates the screen much much faster than the TyTn and so even if you use a magnet to rotate the screen it instantly goes back when you take away the magnet. In fact I carry mine in a Hermes magnetic case and not once have I seen it in the wrong orientation.

Thanks for the info.
I'll plan on keeping the same case in that case
Is there any way to DISABLE the screen rotation?
I frequently accidentally slide out the keyboard, causing the rotation.

yes, kaisertweak and advancedconfig allows you disable the device comming out of standby and rotating.

Hi @ all !
There´s a thing very annoying in the new Kaiser... You cannot use any belt-pocket with magnetic closers !
After setting the phone to standby via one short press on power button, I found it back turned on again, everytime I took it out of the belt-pocket.
First I thought, that this must be the keyboard slide mechanism, cause the phone also comes back, when you slide out the keyboard, but I kept an eye on it, not the move the slider while putting it into the pocket and back out again. Then I thought, that it was the light sensor, but some tests made me sure, that it must be something else.
Finally I found out, that it turns back on again, cause I´m still using the belt-pocket of my old TyTN I with the 2 magnets as closing mechanism... If you try and hold a magnet over the keyboard in the area of S,D,E,X,F or even on the back side in the same area and move it around just a little bit, the phone turns on... Crazy, but true !
Now I know, why they gave that awful new belt-pocket with the tape-closer to the Kaiser...
Hope that helps

It is partly related to keyboard... it has a magnetic sensor that it is activated when keyboard is released, so the magnet from your holster tricks the sensor into believing keyboard is out, so it activates screen.
I guess thats why they have the velcro closer on the one that is shipped with the phone. This is somthing to consider when buying a nice Piel Frama one.
Absolutely it's the keyboard magnet operated switch that does it. But, I know you can run a magnet (let's say the case magnet ) over the d-pad area (seems to do it on mine) and the Kaiser will turn on. - However, I have been using the TyTn case also and I have not noticed it turning on just by sliding the Kaiser in and out. In fact I have just sat here and put it in and out every which way (for the last ten minutes) and it has not come on.
Maybe your magnets are stronger than mine or your keyboard switch more sensitive? I am also not keen on that "tape" closing on the new case.

lol i wish i would have read that some place, i thought it was the keyboard some switch but didnt think they would use a magnet, it was pissing me off a lot while i was driving, now i know i found on my own, but the magnet that i have is shielded a bit, but still just the right position and it will trigger the switch
I sure hope this was posted some place in a FAQ or wiki, if not it should be and if it was, then shame on me for not reading that part or noticing it
Magnetic sensor via magnet in holster.
Just found out this "feature" with a BB holster...
Has anyone found a way to exploit/use this feature to turn-on the device when removed from the holster?
That is something I always envied with my wifes Blackberry.
I've noticed this too
I have the same problem, but since mine is set not to wakeup when the keyboard slides open I can't see how the magnet could be the culprit.
I had the same problem with my Nokia and Kaiser.....Never thought it was because of the magnet sensor in the device....To tell the truth...I didnt know that it had one inside.....Thanks for the info....
Would it affect the sensor in anyways....if it doesnt, I can actually use this "feature" so my phone is awake each time I pull it out of the belt case......
Anyone experience their Tilt turning on by itself just when you turn it off (stand by-button on the side)?
I would turn the unit on standby and put it back into the case and it would turn on by itself and a 3 beeping sound would activate. I thought that the Tilt has some kind of motion sensor thing.
Is this an issue and how can it be solved?
If the screen slides out slightly the phone will come out of standby. The 3 tones could be the piano slide out sound.
good catch DaneMaximus
the keyboard uses a magnetic switch, by any chance......does you case have a magnet in it?
thats what i thought too but i would try moving it a slight and it doesnt go on.
Dont know about the magnetic...where is it on the case?
Ok, when i force the open keyboard it is playing the closing piano chime. But why is it doing this? I dont think its opening since the phone is new.
I know why this is happening. It turns out the the opening slide from the Tilt is a magnetic trigger and when I put it into my leather case, it has a magnetic closer lid where it is activating the trigger on the Tilt.
Just have to be careful when inserting the tilt into the case. At least theres nothing wrong with the tilt.
You could disable slide wake.
ahhh... good suggestion. How do you disable slide awake?-
Never mind found it in kaiserTweak.
Thanks for the suggestion!
So I managed to drop my phone the other day. I've noticed that since the drop it wont rotate to portrait mode. I'm 99.9% positive that it is a hardware problem. If I hold the phone upright and open the keyboard about 1/4th of an inch it will rotate. So I'm guessing that its a problem within.
So now for the question. On CM5.0.8T4 Is there a way to disable the rotation when the keyboard is out? Basically giving the accelerometer full control of orientation.
Sorry if this is in another place, I've been searching for days now and haven't found any solution.
Thanks.
Anyone? I'm interested in this as well...
Not had the phone long but wondered if theres a flip case that will turn off screen when closed and turn on when opened? Does this phone have the right hardware to do this?

Hello, I highly doubt since the phone lacks a physical proximity sensor and only relies on a gyro to turn the screen/on and off. You could just use the built-in screen-lock widget that MIUI has. I know, quite drastically different from just flipping the flap and expecting the screen to turn off but it is what it is.
Thanks,at least I know now.
Hi, I recently purchased this phone and yesterday I noticed that the screen cannot be rotated 180 degrees. I've browsed the forum a bit but I haven't found anything specific and at least it doesn't want to work with Android 12 and One UI 4.1. Is there any way to do it, a hidden menu, a command to type in adb...?
you can't have the phone upside down in portrait mode no, but you have landscape rotating to the left or right. nobody should have a use case for turning their phone upside down so that it's displaying the same as it started out.

You ignore the fact that some of us are constantly taking chin selfies
Lol, as far as I know there's no Samsung for those that have their mouths where their ears should be. The extraterrestrial Samsung users are outraged.

Download System UI Tuner from playstore. Developer Zacharee Wander. There is option to "lock screen rotation custom value". And it doesn't mean the lock screen either. It means you can rotate the screen to any way 360° and lock it in that position. Hope that helps.

Those screenshots don't do it justice.. they allself corrected but I took them while the screen was rotated to all 4 sides.. it definitely works

I have a use case. If my phone is plugged into a long charging cable it is more comfortable to hold upside down so the charge cable is coming out of the top instead of the bottom.

Welcome to XDA
One of the reasons I liked the 3.5mm jack. The C port has lousy placement for wired headphones, etc. It's a menace...
It's counterproductive to charge with the display on if that's why the cable is being used. The mobo power controller will significantly ramp down the charge so there's little or no charging taking place. It also needlessly stresses the battery ie prolonged higher temperatures.
You can use low energy apps like bt and Poweramp as long as the display is off, it will still fast charge.

180 rotation does change the location of audio port, charge port, volume button, power button, camera, flash ......
Not a perfect solution, but a quick one: Rotation Control (A52 with OneUI 5)
I wanted to use the phone as a radio today and the cable should go behind the desk, and not always bend 180° from the underside of the phone. I had to activate "Guard mode".
