HTC Magic :: Auto Orientation Not Working On Home Screen

May 12, 2009

I'm the proud owner of the HTC Magic on Vodafone UK. I'm loving the Android.I have to say that after 5 days of owning this device I'm only left scratching my head on one point the auto-orientation of the home screen.I've seen videos of rooted G1's running the hacked 1.5 firmware and the recently posted video of the Samsung i7500 with the 1.5 firmware all CLEARLY show that when the device is on home screen, the desktop (read home screen) auto-rotates depending on the orientation of the device. The Samsung video shows it working in ALL FOUR orientations!This doesn't happen on my Magic . Flip the orientation in an application? Works fine. Flip it back in an application? Works fine. Do it on the home screen?Am I missing something? Is this a feature that is disabled in the offical 1.5 Cupcake release? If that's the case - fine with me. I'll stop scratching my head and move on.

To anyone who has the SF do your home screens switch from portrait to landscape automatically when you hold the phone sideways? Mine does in just about all other screens but not the home.

Sprint HTC Hero :: Home Screen Orientation To Go Into Landscape Mode?

Feb 19, 2010

I searched for this but couldn't find a solution. Is there anyway to get the home screen and subsequent side screens to go into landscape mode? I've seen some other Android Phones/Tablets doing this and would like to be able to do so. Or does anyone know if this will be an option in the 2.1 update? I heard that the Droid used to do this, and then some update messed it up, but then saw it going into landscape mode on the video they posted today of the Droid running 2.1.

Motorola Droid :: Any Way To Make Home Screen Change Orientation?

Nov 11, 2009

Is there a way to make the home screen change orientation with the accelerometer? On my phone, it will only change when I pull out the physical keyboard, which is not really what I'm looking to do most of the time.It changes just fine in all other applications, but the home screen doesn't. Is this a flaw with my phone or a design decision?

HTC Magic :: Landscape Home Screen

Jun 29, 2009

Sorry if this has been addressed, I haven't found anything yet.I've seen screen caps on the web (I'm sure) of the G1 with the home screen in landscape mode, but when I turn my Magic to landscape, the Home screen stays vertical.Is this a limitation of the Magic? Will the home screen not switch to Landscape (horizontal) when the phone is turned?

3. How do yo delete shortcts that you have placed on your extra home screen.

4. How does this gprs thing work is that like having a sat nav?

5. How do yo get your hotmail to be sent to your phone I cant seem to work it out without have to just go to google type in msn hotmail then sign in that way.

6. My bluetooth doesnt work.

Android :: Screen Orientation Landscape Back To Portrait Not Working

Mar 20, 2010

I've racked my brain for hours over this issue. I have created a main.xml and designed one for the res/layout-land (landscape) format and another one for portrait in res/layout. When I rotate the emulator (ctrl-F11), my app rotates properly to landscape using the correct main.xml, but a subsequent rotation back to portrait just keeps the landscape mail.xml. This was done in a 2.0 AVD.. Out of desperation I downloaded the new Sample Code for Multiple Resolutions and had to create a new 2.1 AVD, to my surprise rotation with this app works correctly as expected. So I then decided to try my app on the 2.1 AVD and it works perfectly. So, is this a Bug in a 2.0 AVD or is there something special I need to be doing for < 2.1 SDK versions?

Android :: Change Android Home Screen Orientation By Program

Nov 25, 2009

I got a question about screen orientation in Android Home screen. The scenario is as following. A G-sensor detects the movement on the device. Then it rotates the screen. If the device is portrait mode, the system sets to landscape mode. With G-sensor, theres is a SensorService to detect that and do some things to reach the function. I want to know how to reach that? Is there a API or a event to do that? I means that hall system, not a activity!

I have a HTC Magic (Rogers Canada).And, I see how the Dream (G1) rotates the home screen. can the Magic do that as well? Also, anybody know if it's possible to rotate the screen to the right and not just to the left? Shouldn't the acceleromater detect all the different rotated modes (even upside down?). that'd be cool

General :: Auto Boot When Charger Connected (HTC Magic)

Feb 18, 2013

I want to let Android OS to boot automatically when the charger connected (for HTC Magic) without pressing power button

I found this guide: Complete boot when charging

If your phone only gets one of those ugly battery symbols when a charger is connected to a powered off phone this is because the init process is interrupted by /system/bin/chargemon. That file is a binary ARM program, I replaced it with a simple script containing only a single line: echo skipping chargemon

The file was created and installed with the following steps:

Code:
echo "echo skipping chargemon" > chargemon.script
adb pull /system/bin/chargemon chargemon.backup
adb push chargemon.script /sqlite_stmt_journals
adb shell

[Code]....

When the command su is given above, it might have to be acknowledged in a dialog on the phone screen.

The final command reboot -p shuts down the phone. As the USB cable is still connected it will power on again, and if everything has gone fine the phone will complete its boot process without halting with any battery symbol.

But I can't find "chargemon" in System/bin

Motorola Milestone :: Manually Rotate Screen Or Keep / Fix Current Screen Orientation

May 29, 2010

is it possible to manually rotate the screen or fix the current screen orientation (with a key/button)? because it really annoys me having taken portrait pictures that cannot be viewed (with the media gallery application) in a portrait fashion on the milestone. this is because it always rotates the portrait picture back to landscape when rotating the milestone from landscape to portrait. right now there is no way of properly viewing portrait pictures on the milestone other than tilting your head (holding the milestone landscape and tilting your head along).this cannot be the way it was intended to be, right? or do I have to get a different viewing software which allows you to choose screen orientation? is there such an app?
