Hi all
Quick question from me. Is it possible to change the settings for the accelerometer in terms of sensitivity or time delay?? The reason i ask is that when using opera when i turn the phone to veiw it 'widescreen' the picture takes a good 8-10 seconds to flip change. Often i get bored of waiting so turn the phone ninety degrees again but as soon as i turn the handset portrait again the screen changes to landscape - quite annoying. I guess this may be down to slow response within the opera software??
any help would be much appreciated
Steve
I know this is an old thread, but I have the same problem with Opera and was not able to find a post regarding it. Anyone find a way to fix this speed?
Good post!! Please help
its a good question sitting on my mind for a few days...
I have another question about rotating..
is it possible to define that the window of sms will be automaticly turn to be on widescreen and locked?
So i can write sms only on wide screen without trying to make the screen rotate..

Don't know what you mean by locking the sms windows, but have a look at Gyrator for all your rotating needs
what i meant was...
that i hate writing in portrait mode (regular) because i have big fingers..
and since i dont like waiting minute or two till it rotates my screen...
It would be nice to have a window of sms and mail to be auto rotated to widescreen with no option to be on portrait mode.

I know what you meant and I also facing that problem too. I only need the landscape view when in SMS.
I did try on Gsen but don't know how to make it work. Maybe I should give a try to Gyrator.
Gsen is very simple
You just open the gsen config.
there you can define whatever you like.
better you just visit the thread of this app, its sticky..
there you can find all the explainations you need..
I have a solution for you, just was searching something similar and found this Gsen application. The BEST gsen for diamond Gsensor Utility (Flip_it) with landscape manila support, ThanX WildBerry Team
LINK FLIP IT
You can decide what application and how (0, 90, 180 or 270°)
I suggest you to install it
go to option:
1) Click on "add new application"
2) write tmail.exe
3) select 90° and 270°
and your sms will open only in landscape mode
bye bye

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, but this can´t the way how it´s supposed to be done.

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??
Ok, im really frustrated by certain things on the diamond, so much so im thinking of selling the diamond....
I love most of the features but a few things really annoy me...such as:
Why when a call connects, does the screen switch off?? This is really annoying when your listening to voicemail, for obvious reasons...
Secondly, i CANNOT switch my input type from FULL QWERTY, i change it, and then when i go back into INPUT, its FULL QWERTY again...why?
Thirdly, when entering a text, i dont want to view a full convo, and the last word of the text remains in the predict part, meaning when you click close, it asks if you want to save to drafts?
If im being stupid, then someone please explain....if not, can anyone assist? Please?
all of your problems have simple quick fixes and have been asked a million times by other people! i dont mean to be rude but please search the forum!
most of you problems can be solved with this one page thats always at the top of the diamond page!!

SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and to asnwer your question, the light sensor turns the display off when you put the phone to your head, its a kind of safty feature so that you dont press any on screen buttons with your face.
i like the feature, but like many others like you dont, its on the first forum link ive just given you as is the fix to disable the sms chat interface
I did try search but came up blank....The above isnt really a solution, more of a workaround, i want the phone to function as it should, i.e be able to change the input type via settings....
Thanks a lot for your other assistance though Keyz...
you change your input option from the touch flo 3d interface, NOT the settings page on WM.
go into a new text message, and press the little keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen
im not using the TF3D interface though....using WM.....
you have TF3D turnd off?
Yes, but i have switched it back on to see if i change my mind about it...
I still cant get the screen light sensor thing to work....weird...
Hi guys is there a tool that allows me to map my favorite app to launch when I slide out the key board?
I dont know of any tool. But have you looked into mortscripts?
yes I can currently use mortscript to rotate screen to landscape and then launch my preffered app however the problem is getting a script to launch app when screen rotates to landscape upon kb opening? any clues anyone?
here is a example script I use to rotate screen to landscape and launch a app:
Rotate(90)
Runwait( "\Program Files\SecondToday\SecondToday.exe" )
Rotate(0)
I'm working on it, with the help of no2chem and Rogro82.
You need to catch a Windows Message and then you can execute an application.
Although I think it will trigger on rotate as opposed to on KB slide.
EDIT
Got the basic's working, however it fires the event on Open and Close .
I'll keep on with it...

Good work DaveShaw at least it's a start, any chance of you posting the script so that I can have crack at it as I have ample time at the moment!
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.
Ive been looking for a solution for my IGO

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!

you just need to install it in the same location in which you have installed opera.
HD Mini - Opera 10 Mobile autorotate disabled [solved]
Thanks Davey101. Your cab file works well with the HTC HD Mini to disable the annoying autorotate feature in Opera Mobile 10.
I've been using Gyrator for some time, but I've never really gotten a hang of adding exceptions and modifying the original settings. For example, I would like to add an exception so that the display never goes to landscape mode during a phone call. I added a new event, I selected "phone" as the application, and under orientation, I checked only "portrait". However, the phone still rotates to landscape during phone calls. Any ideas, or a general walkthrough on how to work with gyrator? I've been to the creator's site and I've searched google, but nothing too helpful has come up. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
Instead of phone use dialog.

I don't have an option for "dialog" under the application tab
Just type it in.
Got it. Thanks
I didn't. With "dialog" as application and "potrait" checked my screen stil rotates as was it paid to do so. I have promoted the event to before rotate.
Anyone knowing how to hide Gyrator from the tasklist (to make it easyer to stop all running apps.)?
