I've got a profile made in Tasker where, if a certain app is opened, Auto Rotation will be enabled. One of the apps is GameBoid, but when I open it, it never turns on auto-rotate automatically. In fact, sometimes when it's open and in landscape mode (which I had to turn on myself), it turns Auto Rotation off.
I've tried using the app Orientation Control which has a Tasker plugin to see if it works that way, but it still won't work.
Any ideas?
Anyone??
No one can help?

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!
I wrote a script that runs in g script (lite), from market.
It runs on my 3d and toggles the button leds from on to off and back.
Each time the script is run it toggles the leds.

I am rooted and it does require it.
It's quick except for the Gscript 20 second rule....
Note:
To run this, download it, then move it to the gscript folder on the root of the sdcard.
Next run gscript and > Menu add new script. Choose load file "led toggle 2"
You can also use the screen filter app. Set the filter to 100% and disable/unchecked "enable soft-key backlight".
I find it easier but that just me.

Hey. That's kindof awesome.
I personally use screen filter and tasker. I have it set so whenever I enter a game, game, movie it will turn screen filter on, turning off the buttons. And when I exit any of those it will turn then back on. Perfect.

This is cool, I'd like them permanently off.
And who needs screen filter when you can do it the geek way and run a script?

Screen filter you don't need root. Pluss screen filter has added benefit to lower screen brightness vs the "geek way". I think its an easy choice.
Mine won't toggle at 100%. Has to be lower then that for some reason or else nothing happens.

There are situations when I want the phone awake and alive and powered and on high brightness when I need it, but want to save the screen. An example is when in the car on a bright day. I use Llama (like Tasker) and can get it to start an app under appropriate conditions...
What I need is an app that will display a black screen image (or a preset image I can set that's actually a blank screen), and ideally the app to exit when I touch the screen.
So I would have Llama launch this app after a delay (when other conditions indicate I'm in the car). It would act as a delayed screen blanker/saver that would exit as soon as I touch the screen Does such an app exist (or something very similar)?
Use an app called "Screen Filter". You can set the brightness level all the way down and add a screen widget which will toggle this setting. Of course set the screen to be on all the time.

Will that work? How would I exit the dimmed screen on-demand (e.g. by touching the screen)? I don't think Llama/Tasker can detect this in order to reset Screen Filter.
Yes you touch the on screen widget to exit it. Put a bunch on the screen to make it easier to enable and disable it.

The usage model I have in mind won't work as you suggest. Say I have a music or gps app in the foreground. I want the screen to 'dim' after a while and to just tap the screen to restore normal brightness, still showing the app previously in the foreground. If I need widgets exposed, I have to switch to a home screen.
I think if I had an app that displayed a black screen, then the app could be launched in foreground over the music or gps app and designed to simply exit on a screen tap. This would re expose the music or gps app and I'd be good to continue using my phone on the app I was using before the 'screensaver' was launched...
I've recently upgraded from a nexus one to my new s3. On my n1, I could turn off auto rotate in the display settings & some apps, such as YouTube & pocket, would still rotate if I turn the phone - which is exactly how I wanted it.
On my s3, however, if auto rotate is off then only games will change to landscape mode - which they do regardless of phone orientation.
It's not an issue with the phone hardware - if I enable auto rotate, then the phone responds as expected.
Is there any way to get my s3 to behave as my n1 did?

Youtube rotates regardless of auto-retation enabled or not, at least it does for me (On all the Stock Samsung Roms I tried.)
What ROM are you using? I can confirm it works just fine on Stock XXDLJ4
Am using rooted stock xxlj3
Edit: sorry xxdlj3

When watching media or playing games even with auto rotation turned on, the phone flips back round the other way and turns off the auto rotate!?
Have recently updated omega rom to 43.3 or 43.4, can't remember which number it is, but the update did include 4way rotate. So is it a bug?
Any suggestions?
Cheers.
