Gyrator 2 failed, removed now stock accelerometer function fails
 
I installed the Gyrator 2 a few days ago.. spent the better part of the day trying to get it to work. Never worked, now the accelerometer fails to work!?!? and it worked before installing gyrator 2. Has anyone experienced this?

The G sensor works, re-calibrated several times, says calibrated.
What areas with option to use accelerometer all have been marked
to use... can someone point me in the right direction,
( I did a search here, but it kept reading that my search had to have
more then 3 letters etc etc)

I meant to list that when I slide the keyboard out the display does change. But that is the only time now.

Have you already attempted a Hard Reset? Settings/Clear Storage is the easiest way.

Use Flip It, it seems to work better

Thanks troops.. I got your replies just as I finished the hard reset and no joy on that.. just finished arrangements to switch the phone out for a new one this weekend!
Thanks again!

not sure why people insist on depending on gyrating programs to switch the screens orientation when there is a simple reg edit that allows you to manually assign a long press key to flip it on command.

Question, for what reason did you arrange to switch out the phone this weekend?

BC some ppl like it to flip on its own because it is meant and designed to do that. No one wants to press a key to force it to flip. Now thats retarded unless your internal hardware is broken.

What is the reg edit that allows you to assign the long press for rotation? I searched but couldn't find it. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

In the hand, the internal mech had failed. I was within the 30 days so I did a switch.
( reason for failure, co worker admitted to messing with it and dropping it while I was away freeing "hostages." And here I left it at the desk so I would not drop it in there! Now comes the fun of personalizing it all over again.. first that pesty message sent warning....

Enable Manual Screen Rotation (Portrait/Landscape):

HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (change from 1 to 0)

Change is immeditate effectively. No Reboot is required

You now have an Orientation Option and graphic in the Align the Screen "screen" (lol)

also, you can enable long press send key to Flip the screens orientation. Works flawlessly.

works and it reduces the number of installed cabs on your phone

It's a built in function of Windows Mobile 6.1 that was locked out.

Also your argument is stale, where in the specifications does it say the phone was designed to flip its orientation all the time? ::shrugs::

Also it appears the OP's hardware was broken after all, so =D>

I have posted this several time.. no idea why it doesn't show. maybe this time. The G-sensor had failed. I learned before swapping out that a coworker was messing with it while I was away freeing "hostages."
I have the new one.. everything is loaded back on.. just waiting on the high cap MicroSD to arrive to finish it off!
