I have the Vodafone UK WM6.1 rom and I think this is a new function but when the screen is off and you slide the keyboard out the screen automatically switches on...does anyone know of a way to turn that off?

Ther is an option in advanced config tool to disable that function. Just instal that app and turn it off.
...dunno whats the sense of this Q, but why the heck would ya slide out the keyboard and not wanting the screen to go on?
...maybe I'm missing something...

Personally, I disable the slide wake function. When putting the phone in the case, sometimes I wake the device by pushing on the slide to get it in the case. Therefore, I disable the slide wake so this does not happen and then end up activating all sorts of apps while in the case.
maybe our friend is addicted to seeing his keyboard
but i think P1Tater gave good justficication we dont want to have our devices doing things when we dont want them to do !!
thanks deafmetal for the questions - i now consider disabling my slide too

Is there a way to disable the screen orientation change when you slide the keyboard out on the tilt. I have a hard time using the on screen dialer and like to use the keyboard to dial however there is a good 1-2 second lag between when I slide the keyboard out and when I can start dialing. I'd like to disable the auto orientation and assign it to a button.
Thanks
I am of the same mind - that would be a great. I also prefer to use the hard dialer, and typically keep the screen in landscape so there isn't any of the delay that the change of screen orientation would cause.
I would however prefer to keep it in portrait, but as of yet I have not found a way to do that.
Has anyone discovered how this could be done?
Thanks
Steve
Sorry, my comment is: Wrong direction, you'd better solve this problem, rather than disable the keyboard screen orietation:

Hi guys, i know how to change the soft key on the home screen - but does anyone know if and how you can change it so that the soft key just locks the keypad?
thanks

search the internet for the programm "devicelock.cab". Install this programm and change the function of the left softkey to this devicelock-programm. You find in the tweak-section how to change the softkey.
Hope this helps.
Bye
This small app will lock and turn off your phone. Hope this will help you.
If you press an hold on the 'end call' button it locks the phone.
does the lockandoff program work with diamond ?
dat would be awesome not having to wait for it to timeout after locking the keypad

Yes, it does works with Diamond. I've been using it for a month.

..yes you are right, but not only the lock function, really useful
i also have a question, once the htc is locked can i still answer my phone call in "locked mode" ?
and ..
why not implement in the setup: lock and turn off htc ?

Because its pretty hard to call yourself to test!?
I tried it and when the phone rings it get's unlocked to be able to touch the screen... This program works exaktly as holding down the End Call button.
why not use S2U2 and link a softkey to ilock ?
Tried S2U2 and it works a bit better... To bad the screenbuttons can't be locked while a caller rings the phone. Want to remove any accidently answering/declining when pulling the phone out of the pocket....
That is an option in S2U2. Its exactly why I use it.
thank you mate
Thanks guys for your answers - those of you who said hold down the end key - i should have said - i do know that you can do that, but it just feels way to long winded and i wanted a 1 button press rather than holding the phone for about 5 seconds to lock it. Ive been using the lockandoff.exe, i like it. my only problem is, its starting to bug me that the light is always dim when the phone is locked - i have tried changing this with Advanced Config but it sticks and doesnt work. any guesses?
S2U2 is far and away the best and most comfortable locking solution for wm. in my opinion.
when i lock my HTC with devicelock and a call is coming in it will "UNLOCK" my HTC. I would prefere my HTC will keep locked until i unlock it
what do you think ? can the developer implement / change devicelock or maybe at least let the user choose if he want unlock the phone when a call is coming in or not. It happen already, when my HTC is in my poket and i rush to answer i press the wrong button and maybe close the call
A question: i set my devicelock to lock my HTC when i hold down the Phone OFF key. How to enter devicelock.cab settings if i want to change parameters? default i can enter settings by hold down the Phone OFF key, after i changed i don't know how
I also tried to uninstall devicelock with HTC software remove, it say ...removed but it is still inside because i still can use the"unlock" function. I don't know how to uninstall .....
hi all.. currently using one or two apps such as diamond tweaks, sensorlock etc, but havent found a way to do this.
What i need is a way to turn off the screen completely (ie zero light) instead of dimming it. I know standby will turn it off, but this will also kill my apps.
Is it possible? Any apps/tweaks?
Subscribe, I have searched alot myself to do this but with no success
DiamOff from Montecristoff will fit your request
I use SPB Pocket Plus v4.0.2 which has a screen toggle option. With the Buttons plug in you can use a hardware button to activate the screen toggle.

This program looks nice! One thing though, its in French, is there a English version somewhere around???
great thanks
Hello.
I asked this already 100x,but I got no answer,so I try again.
Is there a way to disable automatic rotation when sliding the keyboard out?
I hate it.
If I need,I can do it manually(maybe 1% of the time I need landscape) and the rotation is unwanted slowdown.
Can someone modify the sensor driver or show me another way,how to achieve this please?
I'll be soooooo lucky then.
Thanks.
?
How do you use the keyboard if the screen is not in landscape mode ?
I doubt there's a know method, because you're maybe the only person in the word who don't want the landscape mode when using the keyboard..

Mostly I am using keyboard for ICQ for really short messages.
Few words I want to write will take 3 seconds normally,but with rotation it takes 20.
It makes me no problem to write "Hi" when notrotated screen.
If you screen rotation back and forth takes 17 seconds,
then there's something wrong with your ROM...
Anyway, I'll try to make a little app for you, but I don't know if it's going to work...

Please don't solve this. I want to solve just a simple thing - rotation disable.
Simple

I have the perfect idea.....if you don't like or use landscape and you don't want the screen to rotate......DONT SLIDE OUT THE KEYBOARD.....lol.....i'm sure you know there is an on screen keyboard to use in portrait mode when you want to text or instant message. Pretty simple.
I do find it very weird that something like that would bother you, besides the fact that the rotation can lag at times. You should have got an Iphone or something without a keyboard.
I couldn't find any way to make Windows stay in portrait mode, BUT... when you're in landscape it will stay in it! I mean, screen won't change to portrait, when keyboard will be closed. So maybe you want to stay in landscape instead? I've written tiny app to change rotation back and forth...
1. I bought TP,because I USE keyboard(One more thing that leads me to upgrade from Himalaya)
2.Thanks,that I know. Maybe the driver has hardcoded the angle to rotate(270dgs) and I want to change this angle to zero(or in a better way to disable it completely),but don't know how.
I want to use portrait instead of landscape,because is much comfortable for me for 90% of time and apps. I can easily switch to ls by pressing a button.
the problem:
manila 2.5 doesn't support landscape. it supports landscape only in pictures/music and if we slide keyboard it looks ugly
the solution?
cant we disable the standard wm orientation change that messes up manila and use the sliding keyboard to emulate the original accelerometer signal instead? This wouldn't mess manila as it recognize rotation only in certain tabs as by design, like in topaz and HD
do you think that's possible with some kind of homemade driver?

anyone? It's that stupid?

No, I think it would be brilliant, but such a program does not exist. It may be possible to intercept the signals and do what you describe. I think if some resourceful programmer might like this feature they could take it up. I for one would be interested.
If I am wrong and such a thing exists and I have somehow overlooked it, please let me know.
The keyboard portrait/landscape mechanism is a switch (on/off) whereas an accelerometer is a varying signal.

Yea but idea is when keyboard slides out, it will send signal like you would turn your device to landscape.
I support that idea too, so i hope something like that comes.
hey dude I was checking some stuff last time and I just read about the experia so u might like to take a look how the xperia portrait or landscape is working
