So my Xperia X1 has WM 6.5 on it.
The problem is that when i open querty the immage does not switch to landscape, but the buttons are working, if i type a number i can hear the bips and if i slide back the numbers are there.
So in portrait mode is working, in landscape not, what can i do ?

my device wont come out of landscape after i close the keyboard... any ideas?
sorry, went to the screen control panel and selected "portrait" from the options... weird that it would revert to landscape like that though. after i selected portrait, it functions properly (so far) when the keyboard slides out
There seem to be issues with Windows Mobile 6.1 and Landscape.
If you switch the display to landscape, and reboot the phone, it will change back to portrait.
If you press the missed calls button in HTC Home while in landscape, it will switch back to portrait.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Alright, I fixed the missed calls issue with a new dialer, but the phone still consistantly boots into Portrait.
i'm not too sure but i would assume u have a kaiser...and when u say it boots into portrait i assume its a soft reset or a power on...and i assume that when you're in landscape mode u have the hardware keyboard slid out...if it boots to portrait...cant u just slide in n out the keyboard to have it go back to landscape?
Sure, when I slide out the keyboard, it goes into landscape. However, when I close it again, it goes back into portrait.
If, after the phone has booted, I go into Screen options and change it back to Landscape, it will stay in landscape regardless of what I do.
When I soft-reset, it goes back into portrait. If they keyboard is open, it will start in portrait, then shift into landscape. Upon closing the keyboard, it's back to portrait.
This is the default behavior for HTC devices. My Wizard did this just like my Tilt. I would suspect the cause is because when you slide out the hardware keyboard, a sensor activates a service running in the WM subsystem that tells WM to rotate the screen.
However, if you actually go into the screen options and change the default screen orientation to landscape, the registry is updated to reflect landscape as the new default orientation.

So yeah, done that.
Windows Mobile 6.0 did not have this problem. If you set it to Landscape in screen options, and rebooted, it would stay in landscape. This issue with it always booting in portrait is new in 6.1.
Same problem here.. anybody found any solution? Thanks.
I've set my Touch Diamond up with the Landscape Manila mod and have installed Flip IT (also tried Gyrator, only Flip IT triggered Landscape Manila) - both work as expected, giving me a nice landscape Today screen and rotating other applications as desired.
One big issue I've hit, though, is that on rotation from portrait to landscape, the keyboard breaks and has to be changed. By default, I use the Compact QWERTY keyboard as I prefer it in portrait mode, but when in landscape mode I would like to (and am forced to anyway) use the Full QWERTY keyboard.
Is there a way to set the keyboard to Full QWERTY when the device goes into landscape mode and Compact QWERTY when it goes into portrait mode? I had no luck with searching the entire Diamond forum.
Thanks,
Nick
P.S. For reference, I'm running A.Z.T.O.R. V7 WWE ROM.
Although it's developed for other purposes, PQzII works very well.
Thanks for the tip Obsidian, but I'm not sure I understand how this will fix the issue. It sounds like you've got it working as desired, can you give me any tips on how to set it up properly for the purpose described above?
Thanks,
Nick
It works pretty much as it is described here:
After you start the programm you see a white square in your taskbar
If you press and hold it, you'll be able to configure the settings (which icon to use and many more)
Right on the first tab "CTRL/ALT" you'll be able to choose a SIP for portrait (Port) and another one for landscape (Land)
Hit ok and you're done. The change takes a little time, so be patient.
Ah, I see, so it's still a manual solution. As it stands right now, I can use the keyboard softkey to switch successfully.
Mainly, I'm looking for a way to have the keyboards seamlessly switch when the mode changes, like on the iPhone. I wouldn't mind so much about switching actual keyboards (i.e. Compact QWERTY to Full QWERTY) physically if they would just remain displayed after the switch; right now, on switching modes, the keyboard disappears completely.
Any other ideas out there?
Thanks,
Nick
I would also like this feature as I am used to typing in the Compact Qwerty, when I switch to landscape the Compact Qwerty option disappears. Perhaps there is a registry tweak to enable it?
hi guys,
just liberated my shift and used the cooked roms to enable gps in wm.
i want to load up my wm side with a portrait display every time. had a browse through the registry and i cant see any obvious keys. also searched the net and nothing...
are there any reg codes which i can edit to make wm start up in portrait mode every time?
rgds, james
I did never do such on an shift but afaik manila has an option to switch portrait / landscape mode, try to cook manila (i recommend 2d for speed) into your rom

I have the option in WM Screen settings to set the orientation to portrait, however when you soft reset the device it switches back to landscape.
I'm looking for a way to ensure this is always set to portrait on startup.
Thx, J
I've managed to make the TF3d in landscape mode using registry tweak, and it work beautifully, but I have a problem, when the phone ring in landscape mode it did not reveal the dialer so I can't see the call came from who..
Have anybody experience the same problem, i searched the forum and come up with nothing..
Thanks..
The Topaz dialer is not turning into landscape at the moment. Maybe it will never be possible to turn it into landscape. Cooked ROMs use a Rhodium dialer instead of Topaz dialer for this reason.
If you find it of big importance for you then try a cooked ROM

Hi harisg...I don't need the dialer to be landscape, i just need it to appear when the phone ring.
here's the thing, I put my Diamond2 on my desk in landscape, when the phone ringing the dialer does not showing..it just stay in TF3D home screen.
