Community Rom- Can't disable auto rotate? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else had this issue with auto rotate? Using the community rom obviously. Another issue I have been having with it is going in and out of airplane mode, more often than not it won't pick up signal again and requires a reboot. Which is no where near as annoying compared to the auto rotate (yes I tried disabling it on both the pull down and in the settings -> display menu).

the next version of community rom (1.3) will have a version of the rotating launcher2 that can be enabled by the power control toggles....the newest tsm/psykdup mods enable this, but the launcher had to be edited accordingly
so hold on a *little* bit longer

Good to know im also having this problem and it really sucks but I guess its better than problems that come with ota froyo

since ive upgraded to 1.2 my home screen doesnt rotate anymore

like i said before..the launcher in 1.3 will *when its out* allow for toggling of rotation from the power controls

was it disabled in 1.2? because after i updated my screen no longer rotates. im glad because it got real annoying. im only bringing this up because if it was, the OP can just update to the newest version to fix his problem

Dont turn your phone sideways!

[Q] Lockscreen Frozen

I am running BAMF Sense 3.0 RC3 (Imo's leanKernel running at Extreme with MR2), and I use WidgetLocker. Quite often, I will go to unlock my touch screen and my touching capabilities are not working - I can slide my slider, or do anything. I can hold down the power button to come up with the shutdown/restart options, but I cannot touch them to make it work. Sometimes if I wait a while it works again, or if I get another message/e-mail, but one time I had to pull the battery! I am not sure if this is a known issue or if maybe this is something with WidgetLocker, but does anyone know what I can do to fix this or have any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Bump - anyone else have this problem? Is it WidgetLocker, and maybe I need to make it no longer use RootHelper or something? When this happens (it currently is), only the power button works - all others do no effect, although they make a vibrate noise when pressed as if there are. After 10 minutes it will work again...)
Just a thought... Bump your min cpu setting to 368 and see if that helps.

Thanks, I did not think of that - I will change from Extreme to Normal (since Extreme undervolts it) and I will give that a try. Any other suggestions in case that does not work?
That's all I know man. I bet its a setting issue on the kernel.

You could always try switching to dream kernel 2.3.0 or 2.3.2, which are updated versions of the sense 3.0 stock kernel from das bamf. But I'm guessing that your min cpu setting is too low, especially if its undervolted. I have lag setting it to 245/368 with screen off, but its just laggy.
I tried changing settings on Imo's kernel, still no avail. His kernel gives me great battery life so I am trying to not switch to a different one; I was looking in Das BAMF toolkit and originally I had Sense Lock Screen off, which is when the lock screen froze, and when I turned it back on, I still had the lock screen froze but now sometimes the Sense one came into view, frozen. And by frozen, I mean the touch screen doesn't work - I can wake on with the volume keys and power button, but none of the bottom buttons work too. I am baffled... What could cause this?

No idea, but the easiest solution is likely to wipe and flash again. For other lockscreen issues this has been the most successful solution.

Yeah, I was thinking about this... Considering I have Bamf 3.0 RC3, might just wipe and get RC4. I will let you guys know how I make out! Thanks for the suggestions!
Off topic question though... How do I edit the Swype dictionary?

Don't forget to check out the preview of the rc5. It can be found on teambamf dot net. It is like rc4 but is very nice, especially with the new radio.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
And as for swype, I think in options, by hitting that button on bottom right or through settings, there's a way to reset or tell it to not remember, but no way to edit I don't believe. There's a way to get it to ignore some words but its been so long I've forgotten.

[Q] Screen is always Dim

When I unlock the phone it always starts up very dim and sometimes it turns bright sometimes it doesn't. I have auto-brightness off and I have my brightness set to 100%. I have to move the slider off of 100% and back to 100% to get it that bright. It is very weird. Anybody know how to fix this?
I have the same problem.

Is it dim on the home screen or certain apps? cuz internet browser, video etc got their own brightness settings built in that you have to change from the settings within the app.

It is dim from the lock screen. Everything once I unlock it is dim. If I lock and unlock the phone like 3 times fast it is fine, but it's a pain in the ass. I'll see if I can take a video of it later when I get home.
I know you said "everything" but try to go to internet browser and disable "auto-brightness" under brightness setting.
Also upgrade your firmware to the latest one to see if that help. My Smart detect is not working and after upgraded it work every single time plus the cell stand by is much improved
I just got my phone back from service, they updated to LF5 - so far it has solved my proplems with dim
I have had 2 handsets that do this now. Its really annoying especially when you are outside.
Basically what is happening is that when your screen dims down before it goes off thats what is happening when you unlock the phone.
I can be using it for 5-10 secs before the full brightness kicks in.
It has nothing to do with power saver or internet. Just running through the home pages and apps list it is doing it.
I am on the latest firmware too.
Does anyone know whats causing it? Is it just a faulty handset (or 2)?
Mine the same. I don't think there bad devices I think its just software related tbh

Landscape mode all screens

Does anyone have this issue with Viper rom? First off its the best rom ive used. I had updraded from 2.0.0. to the 2.0.2. and died a wipe cache & dalvik before doing so- it was a new insureance replacement. Everything worked well but recently the home screen rosie landscape and lock screen automatic orientation (to include landscape) is not working. I have restarted the phone to make sure both were checked to work and the lock screen worked once doing so but home screen didnt. Now neither has worked. Might anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it? I use the phone alot in landscape and it no longer works that way at all.
Thanks,
TJ

interesting. a few things that i've noticed others having: cant turn off the power saver notification option in settings/apps/power. some are having wifi connectivity issues (possible fix: uncheck DLNA from settings/wifi/advanced). some are having graphic issues with the stock keyboard (possible fixes: 3+ power cycles, rotate from portrait-landscape-portrait, change keyboard type then change it back)
The screen won't come back on (without me hitting power) when pulling the phone away from my face while on a call.

Yeah you are correct. HTC for some reason decided to make you have to pinch the notification to expand it and compress it...

So the MMS apk in the 1.22 version of ICS did the toggle where if I send a picture while connected to WiFi, the 3g data will kick on briefly while still connected to WiFi, send the pic, then toggle 3g back off. In the 2.13 version and this new 3.15 version, it doesn't do that. Like, ill be connected to WiFi and try sending a pic and the 3g data will not toggle on in the background. I have to manual turn WiFi off, wait for data to toggle on, send the pic, then turn WiFi back on and that's a long annoying process.

When hdmi is plugged in it works, then when you unplug it the phone freezes and have to do a "battery pull"
SENT FROM MY LTEVO
[ANNOYANCE] Missing speech to text (microphone) on keyboards (i know this was probably an intentional design change, but i hate it, why would you remove functionality that worked perfectly, yes i know you can do it via the Now app, but having to jump out of messaging/conversation to go to another app to quickly respond with voice is ridiculous) did anyone else notice it's still in the dialer app for searching contacts though?
[ANNOYANCE] No scrolling wallpaper option (not a big deal because it really doesn't buy you anything. but other launchers give you the option to lock it or wrap it)
[BUG] Proximity sensor wile making calls; when dialing with phone away from face the screen instantly goes dark, won't come back on until power button press.
[BUG] Light sensor; capacitive buttons don't light like they should. If light is dim enough that i can't see them yet bright enough that the phone disagrees i have to cover the sensor with my thumb to trick it into lighting them.
[BUG] Graphical glitches; probably a unique thing, but my battery widget has a button to view desktop (wallpaper) unobstructed, when returning from that the screen now goes wonky/staticky for a second, quite likely the widget though
[BUG] Graphical glitches; in maps i found that zooming in and out on the satellite view caused a bunch of annoying flickers. maybe a localized thing, i wiped cache and dalvik from recovery and that seems to have corrected for now.
[ANNOYANCE] Bookmarks widget can no longer be resized. This is obviously an HTC/Sense thing but it seriously changed the size of the widget on one of my screens and was letting it lay overtop of other widgets and app icons. There's the "Internet" widget that's a smaller size but it seems to never take a break. I use Firefox exclusively for my browser but in my power stats "Internet" was far and away the biggest battery hog on my phone. I must constantly be updating the screenshots of the pages it lists.
Also, the HTC sense input keyboard is all wacky! Doesn't work!

That used to happen to me...now it works. I really don't know what was going on with that...
One bug I'm seeing and idk if it's been mentioned
If you calibrate the keyboard and then use it, there will be some tearing and the keyboard will just look messed up overall
Also, the lockscreen doesn't have it's on set keyboard. So if you set a pin with the default HTC Sense keyboard you're pin lockscreen will use that number keyboard. But if you use SwiftKey, you get that number keyboard.
I don't think I remember ICS being like this

[Q] Brightness changes in specific apps

For some reason I see the brightness changes automatically in certain apps.
The auto brightness is off and set to full.
The brightness dims in the following screens:
1. Open original browser it dims , if entering web address it is back to full. Chrome does not encounter same problem
2. Original samsung mail app (not GMAIL) dims. If writing a new mail (reply/forward) it goes back up.
The brightness in the browser settings is set to full (not auto).
I tried to find an answer on the web but could not find. It drives me crazy!!!
Must say that I have the phone for 3 months and it started only a few days ago.
the only thing I can remember is that I was on WIFI and it started to update apps but how can I know what was changed and [email protected]#$ed my brightness control?
I assume that you're using a stock (or stock-based) ROM. Try to enter settings and deactivate the power saving mode if it's enabled. Then reboot - just to be sure - and look if the issue is gone.
Can't think of anything else at the moment...
Hope it helps
In stock browser disable auto brightness setting.

I can't believe I missed it. I've tried brightness in stock browser, tried battery saving from brightness menu.
I just didn't notice the toggle of battery saving in the main menu.
