When I place the device in the factory desktop dock, the homescreen rotates into landscape mode. Is there no way to do this when not docked? Clearly the phone is capable. Stock and unrooted...unfortunately.

if rooted, it's possible, yes.
Also if you use a diferent launcher.

There is an app in the Play Store that will make it go to landscape. Can't think of the name right now but I will post it if I think of it.

Yeah I can't remember the name but it was discussed in themes and apps at one point
It's called "ultimate rotation control". Works great on the stock device.

Is there a way to flip the car mode orientation? I can't find it. I would rather have my phone the other way, to get the cords out of my immediate view.
Both vlingo and HTC car mode auto orient to landscape, with the 'bottom' on the natural left side of the phone.
Thanks

Set orientation will be your best friend. I even use it to play temple run in landscape mode.

Thx! I downloaded it and so far so good. I've been looking for something like this since I purchased my EVO LTE. Quick question... How is this app on the phone battery? Have you noticed any big drains on your battery? I hope not...
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Nope it hasn't effected my battery life. It only keeps that persistent notification so that Sense doesn't go and kill it. I personally disable it when I know I won't be using it for awhile only because I try to save as much memory as possible and because it's not the best looking icon to have on my screen haha.

When I got a message or notification while my screen was off it would light up the screen automatically to show you the notification on the lock screen. Is there an android alternative?

go sms works perfectly as you described, and its my choice, but see what works best for you.

Honestly I looked into a few of those recommendations but I chose Tasker with the plug in Secure Settings.
Now I can choose to wake up my screen on any notification for a defined amount of time before it turns off automatically.
Tasker is a very powerful system app. So if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it. It's a paid app ($6.95) but very worth it. If your skeptical go to the developer's website for a trial.

Tasker is pretty awesome. Amazing things can be done with that app.
Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting you to say that Tasker is your solution.
Agreed with slix, go sms works great

Stock does not show you the message contents on a pop up on the screen.
Widgetlocker + gosms widget. This is my set up.

Well the OP didn't word it that way. If that's the case, then people have made plenty of suggestions.

True, I've had multiple iPhones as well. I actually HATED that feature and I still don't like it on my note. It should come with a damn LED notification like 99% of every android phone.

Then why post another thread here instead of asking in that one (or in the other thread about blocking mode just a few threads down)?
It's working for me and for others. What problem are you having with it?
Edit: While the shortcut allows you to open up the settings for Blocking Mode, it's actual functionality is definitely hit or miss, with far more misses than hits. Perhaps that's the issue you're having.
Can I see some SPen examples or atleast told a few things they can do ? Maybe I don't have any uses for it or just don't know its benefits of what it can do ?
Or pointed to another thread I missed on its advantages of picture manipulation or CAD examples or anything ?

Like if you hold the button on the pen and make a arrow pointing left it will act just like the back button

I like using mine for handwriting to text. With spen switcher it automatically changes from Swype to the stock keyboard in handwriting mode when I remove the pen.
I like to use it for navigation on the device. GMD spen control is what Samsung's gestures should have been.
I also like to use it with photo editing apps.

Sorry im a Dumb a$$ but there should be more example than the help files show to use the pen. The help files are vague anyways. If that is all the pen does it dont really compliment the n2 as much as I thought.

The s-pen also automatically scrolls for you. If you're using the pen and you hover near the bottom of the page the page will scroll down with no other action on your part.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any work around to get the keyboard scaled right. I have everything apps and all dpi set to 370. That seems to be a sweet spot. The only problem I'm having is the keyboard. I'm stock rooted. Here is a screen shot. Currently I'm writing everything outwith my S-pen.
Maybe because I'm using the xda app I can't see the picture, but you did post a picture correct?
