I tend to mount my phone in landscape when I'm in the car (it's not a dedicated dock or anything fancy just a basic holder). My question is, I don't see any settings anywhere to make the phone call screen stay in landscape it always forces itself to portrait. Is there a way to prevent it from doing that? It'll stay landscape until you place the call then it'll flip to portrait.
I'm on ShoStock ICS ROM but I don't recall this ever being allowed even on GB or a stock ROM. Thanks!
I have the actual car dock mount and everything so far has stayed landscape EXCEPT while in-call. I think the phone apk just doesn't have a landscape orientation.

well a few times when I go to place a call I'll see it in landscape for a 1/2 second or so and then it'll rotate over to portrait so I have a feeling it "could" do it.
I don't think its possible. Let me try with aokp and I'll let you know.
OK just called my wife. The screen blacked out and would not switch to landscape, even after the screen turned back on. I've also noticed that spotify does this as well. I just don't think the apk has the ability.

AOSP has this ability, I'm pretty sure, but I don't think Touchwiz ROMs can do this.
I think op means to have landscape during a call.
I started a call from landscape and it went to portrait. It tried to switch to landscape.

My mistake. It reverts to portrait and shuts off the screen here too.

Works perfectly on aokp. I leave my phone in landscape in my car. You can even use landscape lock screen on aokp. While in phone app, menu, settings, enable landscape. Done.

Just tested it it only stays in landscape when in the dialer screen but it defaults to portrait on the call in progress screen and stays that way even if i bring up the keypad again.
For the curious, this is what it looks like on AOKP.

Yeap, it works beautiful in AOKP
Hrm...this is helpful but I want to know if it's possible to have tasker enable this setting in the phone apk setting only when docked. I hate answering calls and it rotates to landscape mode. So in other words I only want the phone the phone app to go into landscape mode when the phone is in the car dock.

I love Sense 4.0 and all the improvements HTC has done to it but...I spend about 75% of my time in landscape mode. If 4.0 had a landscape mode for the homescreen, I wouldn't even bother with third party launchers. I like it that much.

You could try "Ultimate Rotation Control" from the Google Play Store. I played with the free version a few minutes ago and you can lock "HTC Sense" in the Per App Settings as "Forced Auto". This then allows the home screen to auto rotate from portrait to landscape. No root needed.
Edit: You can turn of the notification icon, too.
Wow! Thank you so much for this find! Works great!:thumbup:

Hi does anybody know if there is a mod to get the screen to stay landscape during a call.?
I use apex launcher so I can have screen landscape on the homescreen something that tw does not support but whenever I make a call the screen goes back to portrait?

I understand why people may not be looking at this thread due to the fact people may think wht would I want such a mod, the reason I am looking for this mod is I use a landscape car holder with drivelink app and when my phone rings the caller dispalys portrait and not landscape. its just very annnoying.
I would love to attach a screenie.....but it happens so randomly and only lasts a second.
Im presuming that the function is built in because the screen doesnt look all messed up. So does anyone know how to turn Landscape lockscreen on?
Ove looked through the setting but cant see anything? Perhaps im just being a tard?

Android at its core can support a landscape lockscreen. There are a few apps out there that force rotation even when the app doesn't think it should support it. For example, the Netflix app is ALWAYS portrait when in the menu and ALWAYS landscape during video playback, but I used to use an app called "Ultimate Rotation Control", and it allowed it to do the menu in landscape and the video in portrait. I think the same sort of thing would work for you here, but I must admit that it's been a long time since I've used a lockscreen, so I don't know for sure.
Thanks. Ill take a look.
