Hi,
I'm running Rocket V12 + CF-Root Kernel.
When placing the Note in the original car dock and trying to dial a number, the phone app crashes if the Note is in Lanscape position. When pressing the call button, the screen switches for a split second to portrait mode, then back to landscape and then crash. It is 100% consistent on my phone. In Portrait mode it doesnt happen at all. Also, when the phone isnt docked in the car dock, it's also working fine.
Anyone has any idea?
Thanks,

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.
I need some help getting the screen to work as I need it.
I bought a 7" HDMI monitor to use with my Bionic. When I plug it in, it works but the phone is in the middle of the screen, which is in landscape mode but the phone is in portrait mode (see Pic-1). This is useless to me for my application.
Is there any way I can force the HDMI output into portrait mode so it looks like my cell phone (see Pic-2)? I did call the manufacture and they said I need to make the changes in the phone's video driver. When I rotate the phone from portrait mode to landscape mode the HDMI monitor shows the phone's image like I want it for just a second (see Pic-2) then goes into landscape mode (see Pic-3).
The problem with landscape mode is that many apps force the screen back into portrait mode. Navigation is one app that I need to be in landscape mode but it switches back to portrait mode.
This would be worth a few bucks to me to get it done.
[to be clear, Pic-1 is how it is now, Pic-3 is how it looks when the phone is in landscape mode. When navigation is on, the screen goes back to Pic-1 style. Pic-2 is what I want the external monitor to look like when the phone is in portrait (normal) mode.]
I have an odd issue that seemingly started out of nowhere. If I turn my phone to view the screen in landscape, it won't switch back to portrait when I flip it back upright. It doesn't matter what app I'm using or if I'm on my home screens.
I can turn it off and turn it back on and it will correct itself (assuming I power back on holding it upright). When I say "turn it off" I mean just turn off the screen, not a full reboot. What is odd, is that if I flip the screen 180 degrees it will reorient to the other landscape - but never go back to portrait without powering cycling. To me this seems to indicate that it isn't the accelerometer, but who knows?
I was running CM9 nightly from 04/19 at the time and updated to the 05/12 nightly to see if that would fix it (and see what was new in the ROM). I am on the stock CM9 kernel, no OC/UV. I am running LauncherPro free version.
I'm not sure if some random app may have updated that started this or what. I hadn't changed the ROM or monkeyed with anything for at least a couple of weeks prior to this.
I did a search and the only similar issues I found were all from last year and it seemed like "DeskHome" app was the problem. Most of those folks were having it permanently stuck in landscape, where mine will correct itself by power cycle.
Mostly this is just annoying but I'm hoping someone can help.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions what to check?
My favorite use for daydream is when docked in my car, I use basically a clock daydream. I've tried 3 or 4 different ones. My problem is they never start in Landscape mode. If i'm holding it in landscape mode and hit the start now in settings it will start in landscape, but 8 out of 10 times it starts in portrait mode making me undock the phone, tilt it untill it changes to landscape then re docking it.. Anyone else having issues like this? I'm using ARHD 10.1 and ORdroid 7.1, both exhibit the same bugs for me.
Bump. is anyone using daydreams? @gunnyman i think you do, do you have this issue? TIA
Yes. But only in Sense launcher since it doesn't support landscape. If I'm using Nova I get landscape.
I recently installed CM 10.1.2 Stable and it was working fine until about a week ago - great work, thanks to the Devs.
The problem that I am having is that the home screen and drawer is locked in portrait mode. I have tried EVERY setting I could find and it only stays on portrait. All the other apps stay in landscape when rotation lock is on (my preferred usage mode) with the exception of the dialer and the lock screen. The only time the home screen behaves is when I put the device in it's car dock - THEN it orients correctly.
The actual events right before it went wonky are as follows:
1) I was using it in the car dock, turned off the vehicle, and removed it. The lock screen seemed to be taking it's time orienting.
2) While I was fumbling with it I dropped it on the corner closest to the USB port (I know, normally it's in an Otterbox but I had just pulled it out of the car). It also got a little moisture on it, but none appeared to penetrate.
3) After I dropped it, everything was stuck in portrait mode - all apps, etc.
4) I restarted, and then did a cold boot, and it got to where I am now.
I have tried reinstalling CM, and various combinations of car dock/rotate settings but I'm baffled. It is my understanding that the accellerometers might cause bad rotation behavior, but it doesn't affect the other apps. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
R

If that happened after your dropped it, you can try to recalibrate the accellerometer (if that's still an option on the cappy).
If that doesn't work, you can always try to flash stock odin KK4 without bootloaders (after a backup of course). But my guess is that it's hardware related so flashing won't change much.
If all fails, you can contact Josh @ mobiletechvideos.com. He's well known around here for fixing cappys.
