hi,
is there any way to stop opera to rotate?
thanks alot
probably a regestry tweak, sorry cant be any more help.
i gave up with Opera a while ago... kept crashing phone when opening big sites!
i could not find anything in the registry concerning the rotation
Hmmmm...
Did you?
Here is the fix that I am using for that issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439136
If you haven't found a solution, yet, you can try changeScreen. It's like Gyrator, only much better. You can set an exception for Opera in it so it only displays in portrait, or which ever orientation you prefer.
Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466858
Really an awesome peace of software :-D

Naw, I swear I saw a fix...perhaps in a ROM thread. But be damned if I can find it again. Maybe someone will run across this thread and show the way to the solution.

I remember it too, (i think) but i've been looking with no luck! ive had the same problem for quite some time, and it only happens sometimes....but i have to reset everytime
I've seen the keyboard popping up fix but not the other fix...i would be interested too
I don't ever remember seeing a fix for this...maybe I missed it though.

this is not a fix but you could go into settings>system>screen>portrait instead of soft reset each time.
Yes fjc3, this is what I have been doing...except HTC home has a shortcut in the frequent programs tab (4th tab).
Still a little frustrating, especially if you flip open your slider every time you want to input text. I prefer to browse with it closed.
Goes landscape then fails to return to portrait
Running 6.1 as of last night. Open keyboard, goes to landscape properly but then screen fonts and HTC new default with HTC Home gets 'bigger' so that I can't see the entire screen. If I un-check HTC Home on the Today screen, open Today and then re-check HTC Home, it comes back correctly.
Any clues??
Had the same problem with Opera 9.5 tried a few different versions and got this one to work OBX-Opera_9[1].5.Build1957.WWE
If you go to this post download the Extended Cabs RAR file and unzip the cab is in there.

I've had the same problem with just about every opera released on this forum. I tried the beta 2 from the opera website and it did not have the screen rotation problems on exit. Problem was, it didn't have many of the features from the later versions.
Download the latest version from www.opera.com. The latest build for beta 2 posted on their website without the screen rotation bug is 9.51 beta build 2723
Dear all,
Try as I might, I can't find an answer to this one. I've been a regular reader of all things XDA for a while but here's my first post....
I have a shiny new O2 Ignito (HTC Diamond?). It all seems quite good but the included Opera browser rarely rotates its screen orientation when you turn the device (as it is supposed to.) Other Touchflo apps rotate quite happily. In particular, the photo album app responds almost instantaneously. The "teeter" game is also proving quite popular with the rest of the family....
However, Opera only ever responds to vigorous shaking, or just doesn't rotate at all.
Is there a g-sensor sensitivity parameter for Opera that I'm missing somewhere? I'm quite happy to have a go at a registry hack or xml modification etc....
Cheers,
Michael
Same problem here brother. With mine, if it goes into landscape, it actually goes into landscape and then shoes the homescreen. Then I have to go into the taskman to bring the app back up.
Its very strange. Windows ftl
Download the Skyfire browser it rotates with out shaking.
wow the demos of that browser look great... apparently it has built in flash? nuts.. gonna try and track down a copy right now.
thanks!

Skyfire is not available for people outside the US :-(. And it doesn't support VGA screen. Quite limited to me indeed.
For the rotation problem, you can install Gsen and make the rotation more responsive. And for the flash, there is a version of flashlite that can be used in diamond. I tried that and I could view youtube videos from within Opera.
Yes, I originally thought there's something wrong with my phone's G sensor as the browser rotates but rarely. But I have heard people mentioning this issue (more than once). So, there's nothing wrong with my phone then .
wrong info, sorry.
All good info so far. I'll try and locate Gsens and take a look.
Hi. This has probably been said somewhere, but I can't find it...
I called Telus (Canada) and they told me, believe it or not, I was the first to complain about this, yet they tried it on several units themselves and they all did it:
When I try to rotate the phone in Opera, unless I am EXACTLY perpendicular to the ground, it will crash and boot me out of Opera - minimize it that is. I updated the phone with the G-Sensor app to make it better, but it didn't help.
Is this something we know how to fix by any chance??
Thanks

Opera issue...
Try updating to a newer version of Opera. There are a number of different versions in this forum, one of them should solve the issue... search away
opera
the landscape mode is bugged, say's so on the opera website.
If you download the latest beta for touchscreens, the documentatoin states that landscape has been disabled. get it anyway, its way fast and shares bandwidth with wifi
Sweet, thanks guys!
Don't know what telus did, but the rom update also fixed this problem. Opera no longer crashes when switching.
How are people using this effectively? It is SO zoomed out for me that i can't click any links or barely read it and the scroll wheel is not working for me. I'm new on the fuze and still getting acclimated. what are others using to browse?
Up until the Fuze, I was using the latest beta of Iris. For some reason, it crashes hard on VGA devices.

I have the same problem. I can't read anything with IE6. I with there is a way to fix that, because its really annoying.
Well, this post shows how to disable PIE6 with a registry change. I like the older PIE, too. It ain't pretty, but it works well, particularly with message boards. I really wish that PIE6 allowed you to set it to a one column view.
Now, I've just got to figure out how to implement the registry changes. I've tooled around with Total Commander, but don't really have a clue what to do, or where to look.
Always using Opera Mini.
Extremely fast, and works just great!
I never use Opera Mobile, or IE6. (OK, just IE6 to download Opera Mini)
Hi everybody, I recently got a Diamond2 and found that the enormous amount of expertise and help available at xda-developers have really helped me enjoy this phone. The phone is not locally supported by any carriers or retailers in Canada so the availability of these forums have been a real help. I've run through most of the issues I've had with the phone (really like the Pro2 Interface better but was way to bulky) but have a few remaining that I haven't been able to find satisfactory answers for, hope you guys will be able to help.
I've downloaded and played around with what seem to be most of the prerequisite softwares: Advanced Config Tool, Klaxon, Changescreen etc. and have also made a couple of registry modifications to enable TF3D rotation and things like that. Here is where I'm getting into a bit of trouble. Although changescreen is a great app I just don't like to install a lot of things on my device and decided to try the regedit. After a soft reset it seemed to work great but was quite slow in switching over to landscape and back. At first I though this was a problem with the g-sensor so I opened up Opera to try it out and found that it was much faster. Obviously it's a lot less graphically intense but I was playing around with a Touch Pro2 before I bought the Diamond2 and it is also significantly faster, with the same processor and everything. I've tried to reduce the sampling time for the g-sensor down from 200ms to 100ms in ACT but that didn't really seem to help. Also I get some really weird lines across the tops of TF3D pages in landscape; in the All Contacts page for example the bar that contains "Search Contacts" will have at least three sets of distorted lines across it at regular intervals across the page. The wallpaper also seems to malfunction as instead of staying as it was, it will stretch across the width of the screen and as a result become extremely distorted. The dialer doesn't go into landscape but that seems to be a common issue. I've downloaded the Rhodium Phone Dialer although I haven't had a chance to install it yet, maybe that will fix the dialer issue.
I do have some app installed that changes the background of all tabs to be the same and this seems to have messed with the transparency of the tab bar and, occasionally the phone will fail to respond to screen swipes that would usually cycle through the tabs without using the tab bar. Maybe this app is also causing the other problems.
The help on these forums has already been a great asset and I was just hoping that I would be able to get some simple fixes for the issues with the landscape thing without having to install more software. Thanks in advance for any help, its all appreciated. Cheers.
PS, rom is 1.39.421.0 (47382) WWE
what you can do to improve things:
1. ditch stock rom and use tess rom
2. install flipit for rotation software - its better than the rest IMO
Thanks for the quick reply
Thanks for the quick reply, sorry I wasn't able to reply right away, got a bit busy at uni.
I was a bit apprehensive about installing a new rom but the one you recommended is amazing. The speed increase alone is unbelievable, doesn't even feel like the same device.
Everything is working great and the rotation is really fast now on everything except TF3D. It almost looks like it attempts to rotate and then fails. The title bars rotate around and then rotate back. I've added the regedit, manually removed and added it back into flip_it, but nothing seems to be working. Aside from that everything else seems perfect. Hope you'll be able to help, and once again, thanks.
oh yeah.. forgot to mention about manila in landscape
go to search and look for At0mAng & Danny_and_2 TF3D2 Tweak cab for topaz
install, and in the list of programs, there is option called Manila Rotate ON.
and thats it, you are all set...
hope this helps

Can I ask where to read and get this rom?
I am also new to Topaz.
Running on stock ROM
been reading around. reading on the various rom threads to decide which to use.
I am looking for something stable, fast (aren't we all?) and 6.1. Still got Manila and hopefully with Titanium built in. Also if possible with ringtones removed.
What would you recommend?
Thanks

Almost there
Thanks for the tip about the tweak program, installed it and followed your directions, manila is now rotating. However, its still incredibly slow; in the range of 3-5 seconds for transition to landscape and then around 1-2 seconds back to portrait. Also, those distortive lines I described earlier are back.
I was hoping for the kind of speed seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPVgN5QuzO4 but I do realize that its a different rom. I've disabled and enabled TF3D and also done a soft reset, but no speed increase. I was thinking it may be a hardware issue but everything else works fine. One thing I have noticed though is that since installing this rom some programs get stuck half rotated and the other half of the screen will display the TF3D home page. Once again, thanks for all the help so far.
P.S. If I disable TF3D the blank today screen will rotate at the same speed as in that video if not faster. Also before when the menus rotated but not TF3D they were rotating at the same fast speed.
yes, I know what you mean.. at this stage, manila rotates pretty slow for me too...
I guess at the moment, we have to live with it... the slow rotation only happens on tf3d2 rite? the rest is ok...
as with hardware issue, I am sure it is not, cause topaz is still relatively new...
btw, Manila 2.1 is around, and manila 2.5 is coming too... so, maybe they would give better performance .
btw, the youtube link is a rom made by Tom Condon, and as you probably know, he is very active in building rom for topaz too... why dont you give him a message, or try his rom...
Tha
sorry double post again..
Sounds good
Glad to know that it wasn't just a one off issue. I'll give his rom a shot, was kind of wary b/c of the comments that said WM 6.5 was slow. Would you be able to direct me to somewhere that I'd be able to download TF3D 2.1 alone without a rom upgrade or anything or maybe even cooked into the TESS rom. Thanks for the incredible quick reply and for all the help so far.
