Does the widget not load up properly in kickstand mode? It just says "Widget Loading Error" or something similar in it's place

Anyone seen "safe mode" displayed on their G-Tab? I have been having problems with Gun Bros since a recent update and when the Tab restarted instead of the live wallpaper it had a static wallpaper and said safe mode. Instead of the normal LauncherPro launcher it was using the default VEGAn 1.0.5.1.1 launcher?
Thanks!
I had seen this once. I found a reference to it somewhere and it seems that if you hold the menu key while booting you can get into this mode.
Is there anyway or any app to lock just the "phone screen" or phone dialer to portrait. I STFF and google and can not find anything.
I could not find anything either. Obviously the lock screen in settings locks it to landscape but so do the widgets and apps like the one from curvefish.
I really dont have trouble keeping it in portrait but I do agree and would like something that I can lock it there if I really wanted to.
following this guide will allow you to lock the phone in portrait http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084850
as for the phone dialer, you can modify the manifest file in the app to only allow it to use portrait...unfortunately I'm still trying to figure out how to get the phone app to work after performing the modification.
Just curious to know if anyone else purchased/uses the "Multimedia Dock" for the Rezound (the official one from VZW/HTC).
If so, I have an issue with the dock mode where by if I put the phone in the dock, there is no way of exiting out of the dock mode App. It's kind of a pain in the arse for me because I usually have to remove the phone from the dock for a few seconds, choose the app I want to enter, then put the phone back in the Dock and use the "recent apps" from the drop down to go back into the previous app.
On my Thunderbolt and my wife's Inc2, the Dock Mode app has a big "X" in the lower-left of the screen to exit out of the Dock app. I was mainly interested in knowing if anyone else has the same issue, or if it's just my phone that has the issue. Thanks in advance!
I have the dock and have the same issue. I mostly use the dock to stream spotify to my home receiver so it's not that big of a deal to me. It would be nice to exit of it easily though. Also the default bluetooth connection in the dock mode is hit or miss.

You should be able to exit be pulling down the notification bar and exiting from there.
The same thing happens for me. One thing I noticed is that when I switched over to another launcher (ADW Ex), the dock mode doesn't launch automatically, which is a pain but does allow me to access other apps. So I guess pick your poison.

No, you can't it only shows an icon that says "press to return to dock mode."
At least I know it wasn't just my phone.
I do have another issue though. I was messing around with settings and disabled the auto start. Now, my phone won't launch Dock Mode at all and I don't see it listed in the app drawer. (It is under my Apps in the Settings but I can't do anything but uninstall). Anyone know how I can restore the Dock Mode?
I have also tried to locate the APK in Root Explorer, but it only asks if I want to install it. When I try, it fails to install.
EDIT: Nevermind, just remembered. You have to go into the Clock (via Weather/Clock widget) and then click Desk Clock, then press the Dock Mode Icon and you can change settings that way.

Yes, the Dock Mode appears to be a Sense related app/widget, so if you install a 3rd party launcher, it will kick you out of Dock Mode entirely.
Wow, I just did something... I took the phone out of the Dock. Then pressed the clock portion of my Clock/Weather widget, then hit Desk Clock, then pressed the Icon that shows the Dock Mode. Notice that the Dock Mode now shows the big X in the lower left!
That is the only way I can get it to appear though... seems as though it's an HTC glitch.
Does the lte have the ability to view the home screen in landscape mode?
Not by itself. If you use an MHL adapter or the Media Link, it goes landscape, but thats it.
1) Download "rotation locker" from the Play Store
2) Open the app, when the popup menu appears HOLD DOWN on Auto
3) The app will vanish and should remain running in the background (see your notification?)
4) Landscape Rosie!
Be sure to disable for camera as it makes it a weird rotation! Mileage will vary on other apps.
I'm curious to know if there is a way to show the "Dock Mode" app in the app drawer and/or create a shortcut?
I know the App exists on the phone (location: /system/app/VZW_Dock_Mode.apk ) and have looked for it in the App Drawer, by clicking on the Clock app (some older phones has a Desk/Dock mode in that app), and still can't get it working.
Using Tasker, I tried to get it to launch the app when plugged in, to no avail there. I even tried creating a "dummy" profile in Tasker that just launched the app at a specific time and no-go.
Anyone know if the app can be 'manually' run or do I just have to wait for the actual dock hardware to become available? (I'd actually like to activate it when on my Qi Charging mat at night...)
OK, I sort of figured this out...
First, I downloaded free App called "QuickShortcutMaker." Then, I long-pressed empty space on my homescreen and chose to add a "Shortcut" The very first icon says "Activities" Searched for "Dock" and chose the one called "HTC Dock Screen" Done.
Of interesting note, the Dock mode only stays in portrait mode for me... wonder if that means the docks for the DNA (if and when they are released) will only show the phone in portrait mode?

yeah, i noticed this too. ridiculous. every other HTC phone i've used with dock mode allows for portrait dock. ugh!
You can also find it through apex launcher repeating the same steps. It doesn't look to me like it's suppose to be a nightstand dock but rather an office type dock, I will investigate more

You mean they allowed both portrait and landscape and yes they did, however previous HTC devices (Rezound, Thunderbolt in particular) had the USB port on the left side of the phone, so I would envision that HTC will eventually release a dock so you can flip open the stupid little 'flap' on the bottom and set the DNA in portrait mode into the base. My wife has a Moto Razr Maxx and though the USB port is on the top of that phone, the dock for that phone is landscape and you have to slide the male dock connectors into the phone. (Sounds kinky)

Correct. I believe the Rezound (and I perhaps the Thunderbolt) had two non-car mode Dock apps... one was accessable via the Clock app (was called Desk Mode or something like that) which was more of a nighttime dock with the clock, and then when you put the phone in the HTC branded "Multimedia" docks, it would start the HTC Dock Screen. Unfortunately the DNA didn't have the Desk Mode option, and there are no Multimedia Docks out there for them yet.
I also noticed that you can actually use the "Tasker" app to initiate the HTC Dock Screen app, as they allow you to start Apps that don't show up in the App Drawer. Unfortunately, Tasker doesn't have any support for Qi Wireless Charging states, so I had to create a profile that starts the Dock Screen whenever the phone is being charged until the Tasker Devs add the Wireless Charging support.
