Watching videos with screen tilted ? ? ?

Allright, so I've done my searching around and can't find a post or thread that talks about what to do to get the video's to take up the hole screen when the kaiser/tilt is tilted toward me!!! If I go fullscreen without sliding the keyboard out and tilting it it looks and plays fine. But when i slid out the keyboard it goes into TINY screen mode and even if i try to set it to full screen, it won't take up the entire screen and its either upside down or right-side up.
I would like to be able to actually use my tilted screen for movies!! Not just texting. Please, someone point me in the right directions.
(Oh and I'm using TCPMP RC2)

Sorry, but is there an RC2 of TCPMP?? Is this the commercial version of it because I only have RPC1 and it works fine!
EDIT: Apolgies, mine is RPC2 (but works fine??) Click full screen then open your Tilt. See if that is OK.

I just downloaded the TCPMP that is in the index of kaiser cabs, and it works now. . . very odd if you ask me. But, who cares . . it works. . . here is the link for anyone who comes upon this . .

Stop screen powering on

How can I stop the screen from powering on when the keyboard is being slide out?
Kinda annoying when you slightly accidentally slide out the keyboard in you pocket
thank you

kaiser tweak -> keyboard -> slide wake -> disable
Why do you keep the kaiser in your pocket anyway many reports of cracked screens normally happen there.

Bu you mean I should have it in the carrier around the belt?
I had my Wizard for two years in my pocket, and the screen is still nice

Yup
There is a reason the screen is slightly lower than the rest. For protection.
But hey, if you don't take care, things get broken. But I believe the Wizard was extremely well built. It could take practically any beating. Sometimes I even believed it was bulletproof!
Hope the Kaiser can live up to the Wizard ^^

Hmm. I didn't get it to work. Any ideas why?

You have to soft reset for registry changes to take effect.

I don't know if it's what you want, but if you hold down the red Telephone button for a few seconds it will disable everything except for the telephone.

Motion sensor bad?

Hi,
Im having troubels with the landscape mode in the browser. Its very hard to get it into landscape mode, I need to do a hard flick to get it turned but it will jump back to normal with only very little movement. When in the camera menu its not a problem at all and it switches very fast and accurate. Is there some way to fix this?
And on a little side note, is landscape mode also supported in remote desktop for WM?

I can confirm that RDP does not work in landscape mode.

try to tune up your diamond sensoring by playing teeter...

playing teeter calibrates the accelerometer??? I don't think so.

Opera gets fairly fast into landscape on my phone... And quite naturally, as I turn the phone.

try playing teeter and seeing if the accelerometer is working fine... if its not id take it back and get a replacement.

[Q] Auto rotate defaults to landscape when opening application

Perhaps this is just a useability thing but I often have my phone sat flat on my desk. From the home page I launch an app (Messaging, Market etc.) without picking the phone up and the app opens in Landscape mode.
I think I worked out what makes this happen:
If I have the phone in my hand (portrait) showing the home screen (which does not rotate) with nothing running in the background and put it down on my desk as I put it down I have actually tilted it so if an auto-rotate app was running it would have gone to landscape. It is as if the accelerometer has sensed the phone in landscape mode and remembered this so next time I launch an app without picking the phone up it starts in landscape. I proved this by holding the phone (portrait) on the home page and putting it down on my desk carefully so it was only tilting in a portrait orientation, then stated a program and it started in portrait.
OK, this is probably considered normal operation but the way I use my phone it's really annoying.
I don't know about anyone else but when I put my phone on the desk I nearly always lay it down long edge first - which puts the accelerometer into landscape mode, causing the "problem".
What would be nice is an app that let you choose the default orientation programs/apps start up in but ONLY if the phone is flat. Hmmm I'd buy it!
EDIT: Or just an app that resets the accelerometer to your preference of landscape or portrait after the screen locks or unlocks and the phone is horizontal
Mark.

screen dims when i rotate it to landscape?

It just started happening, idk what could have caused it. No matter what app, it dims when I rotate my phone and goes back to normal when I rotate it back to portrait. Turning up the brightness doesn't change the screen brightness in landscape but when I rotate it back to portrait it will brighten up to the new level

Nevermind I guess it's my sunglasses lol. I never had this issue before but oddly rotating my phone makes them block out the light from the screen I guess. Super strange.

You're using polarized sunglasses, I take it... Then it's normal

I had no idea they would do that haha

Just got a pair of polarized sunglass clip-ons and was wondering what was going with multiple devices until I found this post. D'oh. Thanks!
