The phone can change to landscape mode in browser and photo viewer when i rotate it. But i don't know how to change it in other application, any ideas??
I don't think you can without some other addon program.
go to settings, system, screen, and its there?
I have checked there is nothing related to screen orientation under screen setting

According to the guy at coolsmartphone, it only works in the photo and web browser apps.
He clearly said he can change it in browser and photos. His accelerometer is fine. What he wants to know is how to manually rotate the screen in apps that don't support the accelerometer.

And as i pointed out above, it doesnt work unless your in the photo browser or web browser applications.
Im pretty sure given time, just like the Nokia N95 8gb which has a built in accelerometer, someone will program an app that woudl allow you to rotate the screen no matter what application or program you are running. At the moment on my N95 8GB phone, i have a neat little program called rotateme that does that function.

The word manual is crucial here. Windows Mobile devices can have the screen rotated manually, in the settings. The accelerometer has nothing to do with that.
Wow what a mess...
Spawn12: My comment was directed at 'walshieau', not you. He suggested his accelerometer was broken.
Dark Fire: Yeah that option isn't there on the diamond. The guy one coolsmartphone tried to look for it in one of the videos. 'ngod' also can't see it. Thats why i said you'd need some third party hack/program to do it.

Wow...That's quite rare. I wonder if the relevant registry entries are still there, and working. If they are, that's good. If they aren't that's really random.

Just a guess, but maybe it freaked out their accelerometer/flor3d stuff so they just removed it. I'm sure the registry entries and API are still there to do it tho.

Yep your right, i updated mine a week ago and it does come with the rotate function built in...took them long enough to enable it lol.
ok an update, it ONLY works while you have opera browser open, and there is NO WAY to change it at the moment without an application doing it...

Yeah, I've been wondering for a while about what would happen in Opera and whatever else is affected by the accelerometer, if you had the Touch Diamond in landscape mode. Would everything rotate such that it would never be the right way up for you to read it?

yes it does, when closing Opera it reverts back...
AE Button Plus
AE button plus can do it when not in touchflo 3D . tested.
you can assign a hard button to rotate the screen.
ok i cant believe no one knows this but htc have disabled the screen rotation. has nothing to do with the g sensor. its disabled bc touchflo3d has been developed only for portrait and not landscape. other apps like the youtube app have also been designed for that. the manilla keyboard on the diamond has also been designed pretty much only for portrait. it just has a landscape qwerty layout.
its ment to be like the iphone where its portrait most of time. if you can overwrite the files within the windows folder im pretty sure u can bring it back. might be some registry too.

Hello Everyone,
I just got my diamond 3 days ago. Right now, i'm trying adobe acrobat reader LE 2.5 that is included with the phone. Te problem is that once i select full screen mode, there is no way to get out of it. I tried double tapping, tapping the corners, reducing the zoom and nothing happens, the document reamins in full screen so i cannot change any settings.
What i do is to close the applications with the task manager.
Anyone knows how to do it?
Thanks in advance!
Yeah, couldn´t manage it either.

i did open a book in full screen. used "back" button or "hang up" button to close/minimize the adobe, then really closed it with the task manager!
nothing special. nothing to be worried about....lol

of course. the way to do it should be just think "adobe close" !
using two full clicks is the wrong way to do it. damn, HTC! when are you going to learn!!
why using full screen in the first place?! use "reflow".
now if you know another way me and HTC are glad to learn.
on a serious note, i wonder sometimes: why bother and try helping?! nothing seems to be good enough for some ppl...
i´m not kidding. just imagine you make your internet explorer on your pc fullscreen, so the only way to make it non fullscreen anymore is to fully close the application and then restart it?
you can´t be serious that this is the way...
I would like to read a .pdf file on my ppc in fullscreen and maybe change the file again an read another in fullscreen, maybe it will never happen in your usage profile in mine it will.
opera is capable to do so too, so where is the problem, maybe a double click and you get out of the fullscreen mode. That´s not magic.

KukurikU I do agree with horstborsch, I think that maybe a double tap would work to go back to normal screen.
I use full screen when i need to watch some detailed diagrams included in pdf documents, reflow wouln't work for this.
I think there should be a way to do it, if not i would consider this as a bug.
On the other hand, please if you cannot post a good answer or if you don't think the question is good enough for you to answer, save your words, there is no need to be sarcastic. I think the idea behind this forum is to help each other, not to post stupid comments.
Not just me then..
First post on the forum, so first of, hello! This looks like a great resource!
I am also having this problem, see no way to get out of full screen at all
I also encountered this problem only 3 days ago...
Adobe Reader full-screen...
I think the problem with this application is that is was designed for devices with hardware keys beneath the screen which operate the soft-key command on screen (similar to that of non-touch screen smartphones). Of course, the Diamond has no such keys.
I used to use this application on my old Wizard (which does have the hardware keys). If you pressed any of these two hardware keys, the menu would re-appear. You could then exit full-screen and execute any of the other options. Perhaps this is an oversight on Adobes' part?
All u guys are LUCKY..i cant even see the fullscreen option??
Goodmorning to all of you...
I'm having a question..I have a compact IV now for a couple of weeks which is now fully customized with an original stock ROM from HTC but since a few days i'm not able to zoom with Opera..
what I mean is that when I search for a mobile website, it will open, but I can't zoom in or out with tapping on the screen...I already looked into the settings and that should be ok..the mobile view option is enabled...
I'm also using Advanced Config..had that something to do with this??
I hope somebody could help me with this, maybe i'm not the only one with this problem!
Thanxx everybody in advance
Jeroen
is there somebody who can help me with this???
not just you
i can't use it too !
Have you tried a soft reset?
Mostly when I have a problem this is solved by a soft reset.
Also turning off and on wil help often to problems that occur after some time.
Grtzzz
Can you zoom by using the "wheel"? I mean by using a circular motion with your finger around the center button?

No, i'm not even able to use the wheel.. and a soft reset also doesn't work either.. also some text on the right hand side of the screen isn't aligned..maybe I can make a screenshot of it...
Which rom do you use? This might be the problem.
Remember when it worked for the last time?
If yes think about what you did after.
Maybe you installed a program which causes this.
Try to uninstall the program or programs if you did.
When you installed more then one delete one after each other and remember which program did make the problem to your browser and post it here.

at this moment i'm using the original HTC stock rom v1.37 Europe edition, i've installed Advanced Config and that's all....i might try another hard reset but I would prefer another method to get rid of this annoying problem...
1.37
Why not go to 1.93 its much faster and smoother.
This might also solve your problem.

Pirtje...as for the text overflowing on right side...Opera sometimes does not reposition text that are in tables of more than one cell (and possibly other times as well). If those items are in a table, that is most likely the cause.

Check that you have not got a tick in the 'mobile view' in settings. You can't zoom when that is checked.

I have the same problem and I'm sure, first it was possible to zoom in mobile view for me. When I zoomed in this mode the site zoomed in and text was broken to the new format after a few seconds. Now it is in fact only possible without mobile view, but this is not very usefull for me, because text is will not be reformated in this mode. Don't know what happend.
first uncheck the mobile view box......and then anywhere on the website double tap the screen and this will zoom in automatically and then start using the wheel to zoom in or out etc....this will auto format the text to fit the screen......the catch is to "double tap" on the screen first before using the scroll wheel otherwise the scroll wheel will not auto format the text to fit the screen......

How do I disable screen rotation on my Touch Diamond, specifically when using Opera?
I've tried Gyrator 2 but to no avail.
Solution:
Not elegant but...
Change registry HKLM\Software\Opera\GSensor\IdleTime to a very large number like 1000000.
not 100% sure but try deleting the gsensor.lnk file in windows\startup folder
I saw in one of the threads that even the phone dialer screen rotates. This doesn't occur in my phone. Does this happen in your phones??

Not as standard - only Opera (and one other that I have forgot about) rotates. However if, like me, you use GSen then other apps (you can choose which) will rotate. My dialer screen rotates as does my TT6 for example.
Thanks!!
I read reviews on Gsen & Gyrator still having some teething problems in this same forum. I don't mind to wait further before things like these gets ironed out.
If you are aware of something that is error free so far, appreciate a lead.

But couldnt find one.
I see you managed to auto-rotate your tomtom.
is that possible with the iGo8?
I've tried adding that line in the gsen config but it still doesnt work.
I have had no problem with Gsen and it works fine for me. I can't answer if it works with Igo because I don't use it, but it works with TTN6. Having said that if I turn a corner sharply at the same time as hitting a bump it goes back to portrait for a few seconds.

just a guess, but are you browsing Opera / Photo Album whilst lying down in bed, perchance?
i'm having the same issue, it's really annoying, no idea why they couldn't have a settings menu to toggle auto / manual.

Yes. But sometimes it also happens if I am carrying it and accidently tilt it.
Solved.
Edited registry HKLM\Software\Opera\GSensor\IdleTime to a very large number like 1000000.
This auto rotating has been drving me mad. People all were suggesting gsen and other utilities but they all are awkward. In the end this simeple trick did it.
Like Apple was the first to get the touchscreen done right after 20 years of touchscreen history, Apple also did the auto-rotate right. With an iPhone/iPodTouch, it won't turn more than twice, so you can easily avoid unwanted rotation. Why Windows Mobile develops cannot figure out simple solutions like that?
Thanks for posting this fantastic workaround!
I saw this thread weeks ago but lost it and couldn't find it again despite my best efforts with the search function & google.
Here's a CAB for it (my 2nd ever!):
Thanks alot .d
just a little FYI - the cab doesn't work for me...the program (Opera) still auto rotates. I have tried the manual hack too.
Any more info?

Found the solution! I'm so happy. I'm done with this stupid automatic rotation:
The trick about HKLM\Software\Opera\GSensor\IdleTime need to be done but you also need to remove in HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
the opera value.
I did the same for google maps and it works perfectly
I don't know about the rest but for HTC HD it's VERY SIMPLE!
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\AutoRotation = 0 (Default = 2)
My Problem was mostly with Dialer.No more screen rotation for me!

Please see this video. It's a China phone run Android OS. You can see the Picture Viewer on this device, it's awesome. I hope someone can get this application and share it.
According to the description for that video, it is not running on Android, but rather is an Android skin to whatever operating system it is running on. Probably precludes the picture viewer from running on Android.
I'm kinda shocked no one made a picture scrolling app...or at least the Astro makers released their built in one as a standalone...
I'm shocked the standard picture viewer doesnt support swipe.
Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with pushing the left and right arrow buttons to switch pictures? It's less work than swiping.
true...nothing is wrong with it, but I mean overall astros viewer (thumbnail slider, autorotate - which I think will exist in cupcake anyways if haykuro's builds are proper) is much nicer more functional when it displays (not enough menu options though..aka one...share)

That's just boring swipe is more Gucci
download photoslide on the market
it has slide / swipe to nex picture
with thumbnails on the bottom
go check it out its .99
well worth it.
Why on earth would anyone want that program he couldn't even swipe the pictures. Get photoslide on the market its only $0.99 and works a lot better.

The developer of photoslide has said they are working on an auto rotate feature. What don't you like about photoslide? I find its pretty close to HTC album.
i dont mean auto rotate idc about that, u evr take a pic and its sideways? Ok in photoslide you dont have the option to rotate the picture and save it rotated.
I have photoslide, It's very suck.
1. Bad icon
2. Force Close many time
3. No rotate feature
4. Bad interface
5. Must click menu to select Folder.
I thought the developer will add new feature and make his app better then I bought it. Very dissapoint
It's real Android. And I think that application can run in any android device

The Kaiser was able to crop photos and rotate them around, and I cant for the life of me stand to believe that this phone isnt capable without spb mobile shell. It wouldnt be so bad if the camera didnt store the photos upside down and sideways , no matter which way you hold the phone.
I have G sensor disabled for camera in G-config and can hold camera straight up and down and the pic store upside down one shot, and right side up the next. same problem if held horizontally. and take a pic. its becoming quite aggrivating lol. If I have missed something somewhere please flame me in the right dir .Thanks
I was a bit disappointed I couldn't find a decent app for this. As far as I know, cropping is limited to looking at a picture in Album, zooming to whaty you want then hitting menu and save screen, which will save what you see on your screen. Haven't seen any rotation or anything of the like anywhere. Perhaps whatever app you used before could be found or packaged as a cab and someone could provide that?

you can rotate and crop with the regular pictures and videos app
The tool you want to use for editing your photos is \Windows\pimg.exe (even most "cooks" don't remove this...I think it's the system's image rendering tool).
if you're like me and you really hate the reduced functionality of the Album app, just edit the file associations with Schap's Advanced Config, so they all open pimg instead of album.
