Hello,
My arrow keys are mapped wrong. I'm running the latest PDACORNERULTIMATE v20. I've used the tilt keyboard fix cab file. The thing is, they work fine when texting or something. However, when I go to play a game, whether its tomb raider, wolfenstein, morphgear, any game that uses the arrows, they're mapped in the wrong position. left goes up, right goes down, up goes right, down goes left.
Sorry for posting this if it's a common fixable problem. I've looked for a long time now for a solution and haven't found anything. Maybe I'm just looking for the wrong problem description.
Thank you.
i dont think its an issue with the key mapping.
i think its from the switching of the screen orientation from portrait to landscape.........cause when u switch the orentation, up/down becomes left/right. what i do with morphgear is, i slide out the keyboard first (to switch the orientation), then i start morphgear
wolfenstein 3d
Thanks, I'm an idiot, that was it.
Though Wolfenstein 3d starts out in portrait mode even if you go to landscape before loading it. Has anyone found a fix around this? I tried switching back and forth midgame, but it didn't seem to recognize it and it stayed in portrait mode.
When the phone is in landscape mode (screen is flipped out). My trackball doesnt recognize my gesture when i go upwards. Like when i move left, right, down it kind of vibrates or like i can feel the ball is moving but when i move it up, it's like really smooth and nothing happens on the screen. Is there anyway i can fix this? Thanks a lot!
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.
well most of the time i have rotation turned off but today i noticed when i had it turned on that it would switch into landscape mode rather easily when i was holding the phone upright if i were to tilt it the slightest bit to the right or left. does anyone else notice this
any fix for it? not too big of a deal but can be annoying at times
I was lying down on my back. Hands up looking at phone. I watched some video. I viewed some pictures. I turned it off and shortly after I got up to plug it into the charger.
When I turned the screen on to verify my alarm was set, the screen is normally portrait in orientation was landscape. It would not rotate. So, I unlocked it in landscape mode, which is a tad awkward just because I'm not used to it.
The screen would only rotate into landscape, or portrait, but portrait was upside down! The buttons for back or home were away from me. Turn off screen and back on. Same thing. Lock screen landscape.
So, I figure I'll go do that calibration where you put your phone on a level surface. It pops up in landscape and all I could see was a letter G and rest was black screen.
Rebooting fixed the problem, but does anyone know if I might have hit something or if there's a fix without rebooting?

Personally this hasn't happened to me but I have heard of it happening. From what i have read and heard is that the proximity sensor for some reason gets stuck. i have heard of people using the old flashlight trick that was used on the M7 to fix it but a reboot fixes it every time. So I don't think you bumped anything. hope this helped .
