Blank keyboard / Rotating problem - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Looking for some help here. I've done a search but didn't find anything. If I've missed something please point me in the right direction.
I recently flashed the 1.93.405.1 WWE ROM and have encountered the following problem:
Whenever I have a keyboard on screen, and rotate the phone, the display will not rotate. I have to hide the keyboard and then rotate the phone. Annoying. However then, if I simply 'show' the keyboard having now rotated the phone, I simply get a black area where the keyboard should be. It reacts like a keyboard, with letters in the right place, I simply cannot see the letters! Even more annoying.
Can anyone shed any light on why this may be happening? Would a re-flash help at all?
Thanks.

tilt on-screen keyboard

Hi, i have Death v.4 BE rom. and when i turn my virtual keyboard, it does show a grey thick line over it and i can move it over the screen. But the problem is not only that grey area, but i cannot see my whole keyboard. And that is anoyng. I have tried many software keyboards as PCM, or touchpal but is the same the keyboard is droped down, and i cannot see it and the grey area is on and i can move the keyboard, but its not fully visible even if i pull it up. Maybe there is some truc to disable that grey area< and solve my prob? Thanks.

Gsen toggle queries...

This runs in a strange manner.
For instance, why can I not keep Gsen toggle on so that I can rotate to horizontal when writing sms/e-mail, even after switching off/reseting the device?
Also, has anyone noticed that when Gsen is toggled on, there is a white pixel at the top of the screen near the battery, signal icon etc? This is not neccesarily a fault, as I wouldn't know it was activated without it to be honest...
I'm using the Gsen toggle that came with Swift v6.0 ROM.

In Gsen configure, press file/startup and there you can activate it to be on all the time.
As for pixel, that's designed into the app.
Thanks very much! Such a useful app. I remember when I first started researching whether to buy the Diamond or not, one of the criticisms was that it did not auto-rotate when texting etc; so glad this has been fixed by clever developers!
Update - I find gsen to be very temperamental. Sometimes when I got to rotate the screen, it doesn't let me bring the keyboard up, and another time half the screen when black every time I tried. So I have disabled it for the time being.
Anyone else experienced this?
*bump* Anyone?

I had the same problem but i was trying to use the compact keyboard when portrait and qwerty when lansscape. When i just selected qwerty the problem went. also the newest version removes some of the bugs.
The thing that bugs me is that it rotates the screen when locked!

Remap PTT button to rotate screen clockwise? (Toggled, and now only rotates CCW)

Hi all - I promise you this isn't a repost. (At least I don't think it is.) For the life of me, I can't figure this one out.
I remapped my PTT button just fine, and for a while it rotated the screen clockwise. Why does it matter?
I have an HTC phone mount, and the AT&T Telenav service, that I frequently use on my dashboard. But now, for some reason, the phone only wants to rotate counter clockwise when I hit the PTT button. (Like it does when you slide out the keyboard.) I, for the life of me, can't figure out why it's behaving like this. I don't know what changed recently that forced it the other way. But short of formatting, (Which I'd really rather not do), I can't figure it out.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

i should look inot what you did for the screen rotation..whenever i am in opera with the screen landscape and i touch the top windows tool bar my screen gets turned 180' so now the keboard is out and my screen is upside down
but ONLY in opera this hapens, then i have to go to screen settins and rotate
Fear not....that is actually a known issue with Opera Mobile. (9.5 Beta, right?)

Landscape mode does not take keyboard position into consideration

Really weird issue with standard on-screen keyboard

I'm finding that when im typing with the on-screen keyboard, im getting random characters appearing when it's IMPOSSIBLE that i've accidentally pressed them.
For example, i'll have the keyboard in standard view (a-z lowercase etc), and randomly the letters will be in upper case, or certain characters will appear like < or : ..... and these would have required me to press '123' then to have selected them.. there's no WAY they are 'accidental' presses......
Anyone had a similar problem? :S
I've had strange 'keypresses' when that have been caused by the screen protector.. you may want to try refitting it (if nothing else works first)
also try re-calibrating the screen...,had the same issue myself...a re-calibrate fixed the issue

Message entry screen doesnt show letters.

This has just started recently... but I've made so many changes, I'm not sure which one affected it. When typing a new or replying to a SMS or email, occasionally (key word there) the letters that I'm typing won't show up. The cursor moves - and if/when I send it, all the letters I've typed will send. Also if I save it as a draft, then re-open it, it shows everything... then I can type a few more letters, and it blanks out again. Any suggestions or help as to what this is? It's only in the message entry part of the screen; I can still see the start menu and bottom menu bars.
Thanks!
If it is only happening in Landscape mode then turn of ClearType font. Cleartype font no longer displays correctly in WM 6.1 in landscape mode. There is a setting in KaiserTweaks that says it will but it only forces something and makes it so text does not display at all.
it's happening in both modes... and cleartype isn't enabled - nor is it in KaiserTweaks. any other suggestions?
its a long shot, but the keyboard hardware speed up cab here might tweak somthing to make it work, its a long shot but it sounds like to me a glitch in the reg....
This is happening to me as well!!!
This is also happening to me. I installed a couple of programs recently including the HTC update to fix the backlight issue, Pocket Sudoku, The RR Keyboard Speed increase cab, Raisak's Flatbar black, and Pocket RAR. Did you install any of these recently?
I did install the RR keyboard - but none of the others and I haven't done the backlight fix. My messages were lagging bigtime - not the stereotypical missing the occasional letter because I type too fast, but I'd click on new sms and it'd literally take 30 seconds or longer to open. I don't know that i've fixed it but I disabled HTC home and HTC homeplugin and then ran the RR keyboard cab, then enabled the HTC apps. I haven't been able to make it mess up again...yet.
*edit* its still having issues. But I can't figure out why sometimes it works just fine and others I literally have to soft reset it to get it to respond.
