I bought magnetic case, and he's great.
but when i close him, he turn on the screen and move to landscape mode.
i try to disable the dock observer, and it doesn't help.
any ideas?
thanks for helping.
I don't know what this case looks like. Perhaps it is pushing on the keyboard, making it slide a little?
I can't post here link to the item page on ebay, because i'm new user.
The item number is 170733109716.
I hope it's help you to understand what's my problem.

The Hermes uses a magnetic sensor to determine when the keyboard has been fully opened and triggers the switch to landscape mode and back.
This causes my screen to switch to landscape mode every time I put it into my Seidio case with a magnetic cover latch and I have to wait for the screen to switch back to portrait whenever I remove it.
Can any current owners tell if the Kaiser works the same way?
Thanks in advance.

The answer is yes it does use a magnet operated switch.
BUT - the Kaiser rotates the screen much much faster than the TyTn and so even if you use a magnet to rotate the screen it instantly goes back when you take away the magnet. In fact I carry mine in a Hermes magnetic case and not once have I seen it in the wrong orientation.

Thanks for the info.
I'll plan on keeping the same case in that case
Is there any way to DISABLE the screen rotation?
I frequently accidentally slide out the keyboard, causing the rotation.

yes, kaisertweak and advancedconfig allows you disable the device comming out of standby and rotating.
Hi @ all !
There´s a thing very annoying in the new Kaiser... You cannot use any belt-pocket with magnetic closers !
After setting the phone to standby via one short press on power button, I found it back turned on again, everytime I took it out of the belt-pocket.
First I thought, that this must be the keyboard slide mechanism, cause the phone also comes back, when you slide out the keyboard, but I kept an eye on it, not the move the slider while putting it into the pocket and back out again. Then I thought, that it was the light sensor, but some tests made me sure, that it must be something else.
Finally I found out, that it turns back on again, cause I´m still using the belt-pocket of my old TyTN I with the 2 magnets as closing mechanism... If you try and hold a magnet over the keyboard in the area of S,D,E,X,F or even on the back side in the same area and move it around just a little bit, the phone turns on... Crazy, but true !
Now I know, why they gave that awful new belt-pocket with the tape-closer to the Kaiser...
Hope that helps

It is partly related to keyboard... it has a magnetic sensor that it is activated when keyboard is released, so the magnet from your holster tricks the sensor into believing keyboard is out, so it activates screen.
I guess thats why they have the velcro closer on the one that is shipped with the phone. This is somthing to consider when buying a nice Piel Frama one.
Absolutely it's the keyboard magnet operated switch that does it. But, I know you can run a magnet (let's say the case magnet ) over the d-pad area (seems to do it on mine) and the Kaiser will turn on. - However, I have been using the TyTn case also and I have not noticed it turning on just by sliding the Kaiser in and out. In fact I have just sat here and put it in and out every which way (for the last ten minutes) and it has not come on.
Maybe your magnets are stronger than mine or your keyboard switch more sensitive? I am also not keen on that "tape" closing on the new case.

lol i wish i would have read that some place, i thought it was the keyboard some switch but didnt think they would use a magnet, it was pissing me off a lot while i was driving, now i know i found on my own, but the magnet that i have is shielded a bit, but still just the right position and it will trigger the switch
I sure hope this was posted some place in a FAQ or wiki, if not it should be and if it was, then shame on me for not reading that part or noticing it
Magnetic sensor via magnet in holster.
Just found out this "feature" with a BB holster...
Has anyone found a way to exploit/use this feature to turn-on the device when removed from the holster?
That is something I always envied with my wifes Blackberry.
I've noticed this too
I have the same problem, but since mine is set not to wakeup when the keyboard slides open I can't see how the magnet could be the culprit.
I had the same problem with my Nokia and Kaiser.....Never thought it was because of the magnet sensor in the device....To tell the truth...I didnt know that it had one inside.....Thanks for the info....
Would it affect the sensor in anyways....if it doesnt, I can actually use this "feature" so my phone is awake each time I pull it out of the belt case......
i change a housing of my kaiser everything look good but i found a problem my sliding switch don't work any more my phone don't power on when i open a slide and don't go to landscape mod
i opened again i found 4 metal pins on every corner of sliding mechanizm i think some of connections to those pins are lost i try to pull up that pins and after that same thing i don't know how those work when i close phone then have contact and when you slide they lose contact with metal i think that is good and that works like that or they don't have contact until sliding mechanizm create it
anyone have this problem i don't know how to calibrate that pins
and
every time device i start device is in landscape mod
Hi
Take a very good look at the casing you have removed. The rotation sensor operates by magnet and often this is located on the casing. The magnet needs to be moved from the pld casing to the new one.
I don't have pictures of the Kaiser handy just now, but look here and you'll get the idea - these pics from the Hermes (TyTn):

thank you man you are genius

I just got a 2nd hand htc tytn2 today and for some reason when I slide the keyboard out it does nothing. When on the basic today screen the screen doesnt even light up! Any ideas how to fix this guys? I even went as far as flashing a cooked rom to see if its software related but hasn't made a diff. PLEASE HELP as I love my new tytn2 but whats the use if the keyboard doesn't work!
Hopefully all it is is that the cable connecting the keyboard is loose -- you'd have to search these forums for some instructions on how to take it apart and check the cable.
EDIT: or perhaps more likely is that the magnetic sensor is broken.
Man this stinks. Was really looking foward to this tytn as well. Not looking foward to taking it apart and somehow finding a replacement sensor .
Oh, by the way, the keyboard works fine, the phone just doesnt react to the slide at all
OK -- if that's the case then the most likely culprit is the magnetic sensor.
Unfortunately, I seem to recall reading on these forums that it's not easy to change. There could be a missing magnet on one side -- if you take a magnet and wave it around the phone, see if you can get it to switch to landscape mode. If it does, then that's better news -- you just have to replace the magnet to get it to work.
If not, then the sensor is broken...
Can you send it back because it's not in complete working order?
I have a Tilt that will not switch to landscape mode when I slide the keyboard out. The light won't come on like the sensor is not recognizing the event. Is the switch mechanical or magentic? Is there an easy fix for this?
it is magnetic, to the best of my knowledge. i think there were some threads/posts about how to be sure your magnet has crapped out and/or has become misaligned...
can't quite post the links to those threads but a google initiated search within the xda forums might just give some meaningful results.
Well it looks like the sensor is out. I have a working Tilt and I can take a magnet and slide it around and it will flash to landscape. But the broken one does nothing. Anyone know where the sensor is and what it looks like and how to replace it?
Anyone? Where is this sensor and is it replaceable?
