Auto Rotate?

[slash007]

Mine does and I hate it because alot of times when I go to answer the phone it rotates and instead of an answer slider, it is just a button and it doesn't respond, so I end up missing the call. I have a Sprint one.

mine doesn't auto rotate @ the home screen. it only rotates when i slide open the keyboard ... and i have the auto rotation ON

Mine only worked when I opened my keyboard until in installed TD2 tools. Then I unchecked the "Enabled TouchFLO Rotation" option, did soft rest, renabled that option, did soft reset...been working ever since. Not sure if that was the cause but mine works all the time now. Oh, make sure you apply settings in the TD2 tools program each time you make the change.

searcher61..that might be why my device actually rotated automatically. I installed the tools a while back. that means the device, by default, probably does NOT auto rotate, but I had installed "something" that was doing it for me without realizing it.

that TD tools setting must have been messed up.

thanks for input!

Is there an auto rotation option on vzw tp2? I find it annoying and would prefer to
not have it enabled.

Mine auto-rotates most of the time, once in a while I have to flip the phone back and forth between landscape to portrait to get it to register. Pretty sure it did so out of the box. I installed the cleanup cab after a few days, and then the cab to restore the soft-keyboard.

I had Gyrator 2 installed a few days when I added G-Alarm. The conflict caused G-Alarm to crash if the tilt sensor is enabled in the program. After further review of Gyrator, (cool program, documentation is very lacking) it occurred to me it conflicts with phone function if it's default events are left in place.

With Gyrator, picking up the handset while a call rings, holding it upright, answers the call. Putting it face down hangs up the call. Cool concept unless you like and use the face-down speakerphone option. It appears entirely possible to modify or delete those events in Gyrator, or one can certainly disable the tilt-speakerphone option, but as I've not found a way around the conflict with Gyrator and G-alarm yet, I just exit it. (Gyrator auto-boots, and I haven't dug in to disable that yet.)

I didn't realize the hd tweaks app has a setting to disable the g sensor, and I had it on the tp2 the whole time. DOH!! I disabled it in a new york minute. I'm very happy without it.
EDIT: This was short lived joy. Apparently the tp2 overrides this tweak and it defaults back. Grrrrr!!!!.....

IMPORTANT

If you use GAZ TD2 Tools on a CDMA phone...it will cause problems. See the post in the URL below. This app is for GSM phones and changes a reg. setting that is different in GSM an CDMA phones...should be #777 on CDMA phones. The cab in the same thread on page 2 by shaggylive fixes the problem. This is an old problem that has occured on CDMA Diamonds and the first TPRO CDMA version.

If you want to add the rotate. Install the program select apply... uninstall the program and apply shaggy's patch.
