whenever i use opera in landscape mode, the "display message on screen" in sounds and notification gets disabled. does anyone know how to disable automatic screen rotation?
Check this out...
Install this and in the settings screen, select the 'exceptions' tab, and where Opera is listed, put a tick in the portrait check box. This will force Opera to remain in portrait.
Not only that, this is the best app ever for handling screen rotation on the Diamond. It just works, and it's simple to set up
i installed it and it did work but it switched to landscape before it quickly switched back to portrait though. so that still causes the problem

I enabled Cleartype and now there are many places where I can't see the text, especially in landscape. Is there any way to fix this or is the solution simply to turn Cleartype off?
Yes, you aren't the only one..you could have put your question in the following thread.

To turn it off on WM6, go to Start > Settings > System (change bottom tab) > Screen > Cleartype (change bottom tab). Uncheck the "enable cleartype.." and you should be all set.
Hope that helps. Also, Kaisertweak program can be installed on your PPC, it gives you the option to disable cleartype.
Hope that helps

on wm6.0:
portrait cleartype works perfectly
landscape cleartype works perfectly
on wm6.1:
portrait cleartype works perfectly
landscape cleartype works like CRAP
use kaisertweak or advancedconfig (search for those nifty configurators) to disable cleartype in landscape if you are using wm6.1
There doesn't seem to be a manual screen orientation choice (landscape or portrait) in screen settings, there's just the auto orientation for certain applications when you turn it sideways. Sorry to keep harping on about my other phone, but as comparison, that does indeed have this feature, and I can change it back and forth from the today screen in a split second. This works well with things like tomtom if I want it in landscape for a larger and wider view, or generally if I want to view ANYTHING on the phone in landscape mode. So, unless someone can tell me if this feature is somewhere to be found on the phone, I was wondering, does it allow auto landscape mode for sat nav apps when you turn it sideways?
Auto orientation...
Use this application - by far the best auto otientation tool available for the Diamond. You can set it up to rotate every app not in the exception list, or only the apps in the exception list. Check it out
Or to change manually, install Advanced Config (you'll find it in the Themes, Applications & Software forum) - you can set it to show the orientation settings on your device.

Wow, flipping brilliant, it works really well!
There's several parameters but all I did was tick 3 orientation picture boxes in the Default 'My device should rotate these directions by default (non exceptions)' I've also ticked a box to make it give a short vibration just before rotation, and a tick for changescreen toggle in programs list.
Thanks, that's made me happier, works nicely with everything now including tomtom.
cheers for pointing me at that app, it rules, think I'll send the coder some pp money
I am using AOSP YMCA Gingerbread ROM 1/28 and I notice I get lag on my screen when it switches into landscape mode. Is there a way of preventing it from going into landscape mode?
Do you want just ADW to stop switching, or every program (except youtube or apps that run natively in landscape)?
Landscape
You can actually turn off auto landscaping.
Home Screen -> Menu -> Display, then uncheck auto-rotate screen. Applications like youtube will still be able to rotate when you put them into landscape.
I think that's what you're requesting.
Thank you that fixed it

Is there a method by which I can auto-rotate the lock screen and/or dialer? I'm running Liberty3 2.0 and ADWLauncher.
Have you gone settings > display > auto-rotation? They should auto-rotate when the keyboard is open, but this will allow (for sure) the dialer to rotate once unlocked. I'm not sure if your lockscreen will even with it checked.
I have it set but when the KB is closed the dialer and lock screen don't rotate. I have a regular holder in my car, not a dock, and its pretty annoying when I call from my headset and the dialer comes up sideways :-/
There is a hack that allows you to do this. It hink there called power widgets or something. Also many of the custom roms have this

There's an app in the market called Smart Rotate which allows you to force rotation on individual applications.

I'm experiencing some strange behaviors on my Note 5 that I can't find mentions of anywhere else on the web. The bugs are minor and pretty much everything else works, but it's still quite annoying that I can't find a way to fix these issues. Do any of you know what is causing these problems?
Firstly, when I go into split screen mode I don't have that white circle that lets me adjust the sizes of the two screens. I get that circle in pop-up mode, just not in split-screen mode. Why would this be? I can't find any item in the settings menu related to split screen mode so what happened?
Secondly, I can set my phone to auto-rotate and turn the phone to landscape, but the moment I try to lock the orientation the phone turns itself back into portrait. I'm not just talking about the launcher; no matter what app is in the foreground, I can't lock the phone to landscape unless the app forces the phone into landscape in the first place. Again, I can't find any item in the settings menu related to orientation locking.
Bump?
In regards to the orientation issue, I know the quick toggle only has portrait and auto-rotate as it's two options. I don' t think it's a true rotation lock setting.
Does anyone know anything about the multitasking circle, or is that too not a feature in the first place? (I'm pretty sure I saw screenshots with the white circle present though)
