Desk Landscape Mode apk? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems that a new landscape mode app was included in the new update. Is there a chance I could get that apk ripped?

Is there no way to get it?

This drives me absoulty bonkers, that the phone doesn't turn landscape. I can understand they don't want to program the widgets to do that. But all I want is one screen while I'm at work that will turn landscape that will give me some basic info. Mainly email and a couple of widgets. This is my biggest frustation with this phone.

I would like to get this apk too. I have a stock rom, first OTA update and nothing for landscape mode installed. I had my phone in some weird mode after plugging in a car charger. The car dock app came up and when I hit the home button, I got the home screen. Turned the phone landscape and the home screen turn landscape. Every screen was able to turn to landscape now but when I made a call, the speaker phone enabled automatically. My phone was this way even after killing the car dock app. I thought there was some update to allow landscape but after pulling the battery, no more auto speaker phone (what I wanted) but the landscape mode was gone too. Has anyone else seen this?

Current Bugs

Lets use this thread to list any bugs or problems we have come across.
By request of "test878", here is a list of all bugs in this thread. Did my best to add everything. If I missed something, or if anything I posted isnt considered a bug, please let me know and I will update. Lets first start off with the most important bug...
I can't seem to install Cyanogenmod7 at all and the bootloader is tied up pretty tight.
Anyone noticing any graphics lines in their widgets? Im getting some kind of glitch over my Youtube widget, and my Twitter widget. Update: Rebooting fixed it for now, will update if it comes back.
When I reboot the phone, all my apps that are on my sd card icons don't show up. I just get the generic green android icon. I tried messing with fastboot, didn't seem to help.
But my biggest bug and very noticeable problem is that the camera will freeze. This happens a lot. The picture will snap, the preview will come up and stay there. The phone is not frozen because I can hit the home button, but the camera will still be stuck on the same preview even after I hit the icon. Eventually stops after opening it several times. No restart required.
when you have the headphone jack plugged in, and you try to reboot the phone tries to reboot bug hangs with black screen. pressing the power button in any number of ways does nothing but turn the back light off and on (the screen displays nothing)
I have the 100% wake lock issue, its really pudding me off! Does anyone else have this??
WiFi will randomly (not really, it's easily replicated) drop out when connected to a Bluetooth headset, and will not turn back on unless you switch to handset or speakerphone mode.
I am having trouble with the clock/weather widget. It will not find my location for the weather
After said restart and another after it, when spinning thru the different windows, it shows all of the screen with widgets on them as blank until you stop on the different screens.
apps that I put in folders on the rosie and then later remove from said folder somehow show back up in that folder randomly.
HTC trace kb only works the first time or two, then stops working, even though it's still on in settings. Works again if you disable and the re enable, but fails the same way right after.
I think that the sync icon sticking is caused by HTC Watch. As soon as I deleted my account in the app and rebooted it unstuck.
The sizes are off in some apps because of the lcd density.
The notification light for gTalk is still flashing when after you open and reply to a message. To get it to stop, you have to back all the way out of gTalk, and go back to the message you just received.
Phone hard locks on Youtube after playing 3D videos. Screen turns off and capacitive buttons stay lit. Had to pull battery out to reset the phone. Happened on 2 different Evo 3Ds.
Camera goes to/defaults to 2D mode, despite the switch being in 3D mode
The music player is messed up for me with artists that have multiple albums.
When i send a message to someone it shows a green dot in the message app like i received a new message but it was just my message i sent
WIFI will not connect to a corporate secured network after reboot. I have to 'forget' the network, and start from scratch, each and every time.
Noticed when you snooze a calendar alert from the lock screen, it never re-alerts you, it acts like you dismiss it.
Seems the notification sound i have set does not play for my exchange mail. Plays for new gmail, but when new exchange mail comes it, it plays the 'Alpha' tone.
I set up my personal email last night using IMAP. On the lock screen it shows I have 99+ unread emails but on the home screen and in the email section its showing no unread emails.
I'm having a problem with Exchange. In People, the contacts can't be viewed Last Name, First Name, no matter how I try to configure the View settings.
I have had an issue with the camera freezing up on me. I'll take a pic, try to share, and it freezes. Hit the home button and it will respond.
my Yahoo! email won't show ANY of my mail using the native client.
3D will stop working in everything but the camera and gallery. Youtube won't play anything in 3D (just displays 2d), and The Green Hornet won't play in 3D. A reboot fixes it temporarily.
Can't get watchESPN to actually play video.
Anyone having problems with the home button not responding? I have to turn the phone off and then back on before it responds.
When on 3G, the youtube app does not function well. It plays random videos contrary to what you selected to view.
I had a weird bug where the lockscreen was black from about the middle of the LCD screen all the way down, and the top half of the screen was the ring to unlock and my 4 icons. Thing is, I couldn't unlock the screen, or open any of the apps. I tried sleeping the screen on and off, didn't fix it. Finally did a battery pull and that fixed it.
I noticed that when you plug the phone in to charge it always seems to kick the brightness up to the max and you have to turn it down.
the watch (green hornet) app has suddenly stopped displaying 3d.
I'm having an issue where there is a popping sound before the start of any audio. It happens whether i'm starting a text or listening to any audio. It may be an issue with my phone specifically.
Since the OTA I have started having random touchscreen issues such as the touchscreen being completely unresponsive.
Also I will touch on a certain app and another app will start instead.
Another bug when phone is in landscape mode the keyboard calibration tool doesn't show up as an option.
Sometime when I try to press the screen nothing respond in sorting place or move. Also when i restart the phone the phone don't power back up I have to turn it on normal.
Brightness problem. I have my brightness set very low, but when I use the 3d camera to take some pictures, the brightness seems to reset to full brightness. Soon as I go back in display settings and touch the slider just the slightest, it fixes itself.
When I make a call the earpiece seems to go quiet when ringing and then turns up as well. It's like the ringing is fading in and out when I'm making a call.
Download app from Market (FeedR and Currency Exchange) the last two days. Apps installed okay, but when tap to launch app (Both apps), the screen went black, none of the capacitive buttons nor the power button will awake the phone. Have to do a battery pull.
I was watching a Youtube video in 3D and had an incoming call. The screen went black immediately and I had no way of answering the phone, and I got no response from any of the capacitive buttons or power button. I missed the call, and the screen remained black with still no response from the buttons. Eventually I tried the camera button and it worked. Camera app launched and I had full control over the phone again.
phone reboots when i take out usb cable
I just noticed that the Weather Lock Screen doesn't display 3-digit temperatures correctly.
The music player pause and skip forward buttons show a pressed state at all times.
I cant even see the green hornet every time i go to it or to htc watch it tell me i need to update my software and i already did that. And after I tried it again it tell me there is no more software updates for the phone.
When you click on the power button and select restart, it actually shuts down the phone and you have to power it back on.
So I was on the phone today when my battery died and my phone shut off. I went to charge it using my car charger, and the light did not come on. Waited till I got home to try my normal charger, same thing. Decided to take the battery out and now it works fine. Not sure what happened, guess its a.....bug.
I'd appreciate it if anyone can confirm a bug in the calculator app. When I open it, the entire app is huge, its not formatted properly.
Apperantly screen is not big enough to read triple digit temperatures.
top half of the screen stops responding at times, usually after using one of the sprint or HTC apps. pulling the battery and restarting fixed this, cant select power off as it is in the top half of the screen
In the stock messaging app, when using a signature it always saves a blank message as a draft after sending original message.
I've been having random bugs like my screen going black or 3D/2D not turning on off correctly but most of it is stuff that can be corrected easily. The most noticable one I've notices so far is where everything on the lockscreen(background and all) is smushed in the top half of the screen but you still have to drag it up from the bottom to unlock.
about 40% of the time I turn the screen off on my phone, the screen will turn itself back on a second later without me touching anything. Turning it off a second time always keeps it off.
Sometimes, my music will start playing on its own, even though no music player is open
I also have experienced the SD card items Icons not showing up after reboot. Also see the Force Close Pandora pop up when I have not even activated it. Good to know they're looking into it.
My sms messages which were recieved within an hour of rebooting and read, are remarked as unread after a reboot. Annoying.
Seams like some sort of data shadowing.
I just started up my camera and there were horizontal (in landscape mode) green static lines (about 1/8 in thick) across the screen. About 10 which were equally spaced from each other and I could still see what the camera was pointing at. It would not go away even as I switched between video and still, portrait and landscape.

About 10 which were equally spaced from each other and I could still see what the camera was pointing at. It would not go away even as I switched between video and still, portrait and landscape. I have not tried any of the Fr3vo stuff so I am fully stock and on the .7 OTA. I rebooted the phone and it is gone.
When I pause the music player in the middle of a track, go off and do stuff in other apps or in the real world, then come back, often the music player has reset to the beginning of the track.
In the browser, drop-down lists don't work on some sites.
My icons are also changing back to the default green android for apps placed in a folder.
If I'm in the camera in 3D mode then put my phone to sleep using the power button, then press the power button to bring it out of sleep, the unlock screen has the parallax 3D on. The lock screen isn't in 3D of course, but you can see the distortion as if it were stuck in 3D mode. Unlocking your phone fixes this.
twice now I've had my phone just shut off. Not reboot. I go to turn the screen on and nothing happens. I hold the power button down and the HTC splash pops up and the phone boots.
Notification bar just disappears every once in awhile. Have the restart the phone to get it back.

I was able to connect to HTC Sense.
Started up Spiderman 3D. Played for a minute. Hit the home key. I was at the Sense UI but it was trying to display everything in 3D. Had to go back into Spiderman and quit normally and everything worked fine again
Got it working by visiting Htcsense.com to make an account.
I can't seem to install Cyanogenmod7 at all and the bootloader is tied up pretty tight.

On your lock screen if you remove the Phone icon it's not in the list to add it back again if you wanted it on the lock screen

Did you take the OTA update?
Try a hard reset that should fix it

Yeah i did the Over the AIR update, it's not a big deal for me, just something i noticed, that was missing when choosing what apps you want in the lock screen bar
Still can't DL anything manually from the Market. I talked with Bonnie from CNET who did the review from them and she said the market was working on her review model.
I just got another OTA update when I booted back up. Maybe this fixes it? (I got a OTA when I first activated it this morning)
>another OTA
>implying it's THE OTA

just because it shows in the battery as 100% doesn't mean it's truly 100% battery, i installed Battery Time lite, the OS showed the battery at 60% but battery time showed the batter at 53%, so you could be just a little impatient

you do realize that when the bar reaches the 100% mark the animations stop but it's still charging, once it reaches over the 90% the battery meter shows 100% when in fact it could be 91%

its safe to say if the phone came shipped 50 percent, and charged for over 2 hours without changing led colors, somethings up lol
My 3G and 4G keep cutting out on me.
someone mentioned this but this is HUGE. The phone icon disappeared off the lock screen and the icon is gone from the apps menu.

[Q] Crash out of dock mode?

The issue is pretty simple, if I pull my Evo 3D from the dock sometimes it goes to the buttons lit and a black screen...will stay that way until I pull the battery. It never seems to happen if I close out dock mode before pulling it from the dock...only the desktop dock too btw, it's a Seidio. Phone is completely stock and updated. Thoughts?
While on the dock the buttons are always lit (if kept in dock mode)...that supposed to be?
Also should note, sometimes when it doesn't crash doing this, the middle portion of the touchscreen will not respond to certain things until I reboot, obviously clicking reboot works, but it's very odd, Swiftkey doesn't allow me to type on the virtual KB towards the center, etc.

[Q] Long time moto user, new to Sammy and having dock issues

Until my S4, I have pretty much been a Moto phone owner. I did have a brief fling with a Thunderbolt but that phone was god awful.
Whenever I docked any of my moto devices (D1, Bionic, RAZR MAXX) depending on what kind of dock it went in, the phones would just enter the correct dock mode. I had it set that when in my desktop dock Alarm Clock Plus would come to the front and be the active application. When in car mode, G Maps would become the active app.
I have purchased the official Samsung multimedia desktop dock as well as the official Samsung vehicle dock. When I dock to either of them, nothing special happens at all. The phone will light up the lock screen when it sees the power applied, but aside from that, 30 seconds later the screen turns back off no matter what app is running (exceptions being navigation (not just maps) and alarm clock plus. If in either docks, something like Slacker will run fine but the screen turns off at the defined times. This is not how things worked with any of my motos. This is a rather annoying problem especially with the car dock as I am constantly going to fiddle with the screen to get G Maps back to being visible. I don't like the idea of having to manually change the screen timeout every time I use the phone in my car as I *know* one time I will forget to turn the screen timeout back to normal and when I reach to use my phone the battery will be dead.
Is there a way to get the screen to stay on when docked? Is there a way to have a default app launch when docking in a specific dock? I know I could have disabled whatever sammy program manages the docks, but I have not disabled anything which has dock in the name (not that I even see one).
I have searched the forums, but my lame searches did not turn up anything.

[Q] Home and back buttons randomly don't work when rotated

Upgraded to CM11, but had this on 10.2 as well. Back and home buttons are rendered inoperable depending on how NT is positioned (rotated). Really annoying and I know they aren't shorted because BACK works in one position but not the other, same issue with HOME. Anyone know of a fix?
Anybody?
you're talking about the onscreen buttons in android, right? i've never had any issues
that happen to me
I had that same problem when I change the dpi from 160 to 265 and that when it happen to me. It took me a day or two before I realized what causes It but when I change the dpi back to 160 my buttons started to work just as they did before.I hope this helps you with your fix.good luck
Well I don't know if it's your case, but this happened to me as well, and I found that I had dead zones in touchscreen exactly where on screen home and back buttons are, the only way I could use home and back buttons again was rotating the screen to upside down portrait (I could not pull down controls menu in this position since that part of screen was dead) or in landscape.
How I found out: download this app. from Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rn.yamtt, turn your tablet to landscape so on screen buttons will change positions. Open the app. and select paint tester and move your finger on the part of the screen where the on screen buttons wasn't working in portrait mode.
If you have dead zones like me, the app. won't paint the area where you are moving your finger because the touchscreen is dead in that area.
Also, my nook developed another problem after this, it won't charge, and when I plug the power cord, tablet crashes and reboots and stay in a bootloop unless I remove the cable. I'm 100% sure the cable and charger are ok, my nook suddenly started to show a lot of problems, I'll miss my nook =/
so what did you do to fix it?

Nothing since this has no fixes, part of the touchscreen is simply dead, unless a miracle happens, I even tried to restore stock nook rom, opened my tablet to check if there is a loose cable or something.
Is this happened to you in the same day you opened this thread? If your answer is yes, this sounds funny, because it's exactly the day when this small part on left bottom of the touchscreen died in my nook.
Also, somewhat my tablet started to charge again, but very slow, like USB charging, but I'm happy my nook returned to life.
No this happened many weeks before the thread. All of a sudden both home and back touches no longer worked in portrait position, but DO work in Landscape. Annoying.

Did you made the check I mentioned before? Does the back and home buttons works if put your tablet in upside down position so portrait mode will move soft buttons to the top edge?
Yes - all three DO work when I flip it upside down in portrait. Is this my workaround?

Unfortunately, you have the same problem as me - dead zone in touchscreen. Flip the tablet upside down in portrait or use in landscape are the only workaround afaik. I thought in moving the on screen buttons more to the right in a zone where the touchscreen is working, but I didn't find a way to do this, I managed to move them a little bit by adding more buttons in the bar in system settings, but the back button would still stay in the dead zone, them I switched home and back buttons positions (so home stays in the dead zone) since you can still use the tablet N button to use home function.

[Q] anyone else lost landscape on home screen while docked?

the subject covers the problem, this happend after mm installed.. was a direct push from sony...
found a couple of threads about turning phone off, then docking then turning phone on. then undock. well now my lock screen goes into landscape kinda nice, but when i swipe up to unlock home screen is in portrait mode. would prefer home screen in landscape while charging. managed to find a app that forces it to work, but does not compress the home screen like the stock lolipop 5.2.1 i think it was, did.
beers
Yeah. This update (570) is as bad as the 5.0.2 build that came without X-Reality. No auto rotation, some sound enhacement features are missing and much more things that keep me from using Marshmallow for more than a full day.
Gee, I thought I was the only one having this issue. Yeah, it's so bad. Even on Facebook when I try to livestream while charging on dock, it's still in Portrait mode.
