Phone won't rotate when I slide keyboad out

Yesterday I took my phone into Sprint for an issue I was having so they replaced my screen and my keyboard from another TP2... that fixed my initial issue, but now when I slide the keyboard out, the phone won't rotate into landscape mode. They noticed this and ordered me a replacement but it wont get here until Tuesday. Does anyone know if this is an easy fix? like did they forget to make a connection while replacing the screen/keyboard?

I thought I could wait until tuesday and live with it but it's been a day and it's already driving me crazy

Re: Phone won't rotate when I slide keyboad out

Can't remember for sure, but there's either a physical or a magnetic switch that is supposed to get activated when the keyboard is slid out. Either way, the tech didn't get it right when they swapped out parts.

Re: Phone won't rotate when I slide keyboad out

wow that sucks! sorry to hear... try having it turn manually?

There used to be a program, i think it was called abexpress or something, where you could set buttons to do whatever you want (like rotate the screen).

good luck!

There is a reg edit you can do that should get you by....

HKLM / System / GDI / Rotation / HideOrientationUI

Then change 1 to 0

After you set this, go to Settings/Personal/Buttons and change "Send Key (Hold)" to <Rotate Screen>

A press and hold of the Send button will rotate your screen.

There are a couple of cabs floating around ppcg to get this done of you don't want mess with the registry....
