is it supposed to be fast when it starts the animated portion, or sluggish. Mines is like choppy at isnt it suppose to be smooth to show off the processor speed?
Also how do i get the landscape view on my phone, i seen some screen shots, and it was landscape, but i turn my phone and nothing.
Also i noticed this just right now, i used the bar code scanner to scan some ****, and i heard a weird noise come from the phone. Like a rattle or something loose, but i shake the phone and nothing. Is that the camera just working?

The rattle noise is the autofocus of the camera. IT IS NORMAL when you are using a camera application.
The start up animation is pretty choppy (it was fast on first boot) its pretty normal because the CPU is working to load the Android OS. As for landscape, it doesnt rotate on the home screen. It should however rotate everywhere else, but only if you turn it to the left (volume buttons facing downwards). If that doesnt work you have a problem. Try restarting the phone if that doesnt work you probably should call HTC.
My start up logo is choppy at first then it gets smooth.
Make sure also you have auto-rotate turned on in Settings>Sound and Display>Orientation

Just what I need! but...
Hi
This is a nice app that i've wanted. I know I could use Changescreen as it has a similar feature, but a standalone like this is more preferable for me...
But I just can't download from Rapidshare...
Is it possible to load the .cab here since its only 345kb? or a mirror to somewhere else...
Anyways, Thanks for pointing this App out...

great idea. tried on my Omnia, works fine. but screen powers on only with Power button
installed on my touch pro, but doesnt seem to do anything any ideas, would really like to have it working am on WM6.5 if that makes any difference...
cheers!
Installed on my Diamond
it's ok
After a call is not working so

Same problem here. I have to kill it with task manager and run it again It's faster then softreset...
Hello
how about battery drain pls?
not working on HTC Rhodium (TP2) - also I can't see it in programs, etc. Do I need to do anything else after install?
I got a question are there any options? like on conference call (when using loud speakers - device is upside down), will it ignore the g-off? Because I am not sure what would happend if I would press POWER BUTTON in the middle of the call just to get the screen back ..
Not working in my Touch Pro, too
Using latest WinMobile 6.5.21935.
I also did a softreset after installation!

You don't see it. But it is there. Go to the Program Files and the directory with the same name. Click once on it, and tune the device upside down. It will switch it off.Not ON again.
You can link to it.

No options. no nothing! It does work on my TD 1
origin of g-off display
Beware! I am NOT the programmer. I don't know who is either. I just found it.
btw ChangeScreen has a "display off" option too.
worked on the tilt 2
it needs dot net compact framework 3.5 and then it loads on startup... closing the title bar that comes up doesn't seem to stop it from working. however, having said this, i can't say that perhaps the tilt 2 didn't have the behavior before i installed this... it took me a while to realize that upside down doesn't mean face down, which is what i had wanted. but having said that, turning it upside down works great because you can put it in your pocket upside down (which basically you might do anyway).
also, indeed, to get it back on, one has to push the power button. but that's good in case the device moves out of tolerance for downward position it won't be going on and off unintentionally--except that even after the screen is already off it will keep executing--i know this because it vibrates when the screen goes off as well, and if i take it out of upside down position and then put it back without turning screen on again, it will vibrate again. this said, walking with it in a pocket didn't seem to keep triggering it, so overall this is a really cool hack.
now for figuring out why my t2 doesn't turn its speakerphone on when placed face down during a call (i was thinking face down should always turn the screen off by way of proximity sensor--which does work on my device because during a call holding finger over ear speaker turns off the display--just doesn't turn speaker on). wait... just realized... if it did then it would have to assume that just putting it to the ear should turn on speaker. so, i'd say what we have here is a challenge... integrate the proximity sensing with the g-sensor to always turn off the display when face down on a flat, reasonably level surface-- and during a call turn on the speaker too.
if this can be done, then combined with the g-off existing functionality it'd be really sweet--i wouldn't have to turn it upside down _before_ placing it flat on a table while listening to music. and the proximity could help make it less worrysome to just automatically turn the screen back on when picked up.

sorry for the duplicate post above--tried to edit, then hit save by accident
edit... i just tried screenchange and it in theory seems to do exactly what i want, but in practice, with 2.78 and any sensitivity level and appropriate no light option checked, it turns off the display even if there is light (and lots of it to be sure). i hold the device upside down above my head and the display goes off. i'm not covering the proximity sensor. my proximity sensor does work when in a phone call. i tried rebooting. i think the proximity sensor may be off somehow on my device...maybe htc only wants it on in a phone call? i will have to see if screenchange will work right with the device in a phone call... further posts will go over with screenchange.
btw, regarding the forum... its annoying that my edit made a whole new post in the first place.
cool！！！thanks
Sometimes, and I notice it mostly after unlocking it, the screen orientation is off (I'll be holding it "in portrait", but the screen is in landscape mode). Instead of switching immediately to portrait, or even after a couple seconds, I have to hold it in landscape then back to portrait for it to switch.
I only started noticing it after installing 2.2 last week, and it doesn't happen all the time. Has anyone else seen this behavior? I haven't calibrated the compass since 2.2, and after 2 minutes of rotating the phone around on 2.1, on at least two different occasions, I said screw it and stopped (before the calibration finished). Could that by why?
Also, maybe it's the launcher (ADW), but sometimes click-holding a widget/app shortcut on one of the screens is "wonky". Sometime I can click-hold it and the phone will vibrate and I can drag it to the trash or move it around no problem. But then sometimes it just won't activate. I just tried to delete a widget around 20 times. I click-held for anywhere from 1-3 seconds, and no vibrate. However, after I let go, it activated the program. WTF? Eventually it worked, but it really shouldn't take that many attempts.
Same issue. I have LP+. I disabled auto-rotation in settings\display as a temporary fix.

I have the same issue after unlock too. I've noticed that I have to hold it in portrait for a few seconds and tap the top to get it rotated. Quite annoying since it happens all day long. You're right, this didn't happen before froyo.
Anyone have skills with re-mapping buttons? I would love a dedicated button to rotate screen. I wouldn't mind the camera button remapped for that. Full Press=Rotates screen/Half Press=Locks screen in that rotation.
thats odd im on rooted 2.2 and dont have that problem with adw installed on it. it could be the accelerometer. i notice it other times not after unlock. usually i do have to wait a second and tapping it does help which leads me to belive its the accelerometer. however if this is a really big issue for alot of people then a button to auto rotate the screen would be very helpful.
Did anyone try calibrating their compass after moving to 2.2 and see if that fixes the screen orientation issues?
Sapo, I have. After doing that it wasn't happening for a little while (maybe a day or so), but it's back now for the last week, and it's happening more often. And I tried what someone else suggested, tapping on the top of my phone with a finger, and that flips it around to normal every time.
happens a lot with mine too, unrooted, still running moto blur...several apps open that way, email, messaging....not always though, so it's a bit puzzling.
I would try using the Stock Blur Home to see if its just ADW
see the post above yours

Anyone else finding the Focus screen orientation not reorienting from Portrait to Landscape in various places (IE, e-mail etc)?
Yes, but if you notice in the instruction manual it says not all screens have landscape.
Some of the reviews of the LG qwerty phone indicate this too, making typing on a sqwerty a sideways proposition.
I would expect more landscape rolled out in updates, but then again I am a douche.
Seems more responsive today, maybe the SD card affected more than memory.
The Focus is sluggish when changing orientation. I compared a Focus and a Surround side by side, and the Surround flips to landscape and back faster every time.
Since I went ahead and bought the Focus anyway, I really hope Samsung tweaks this in time for the next update.
Rotating slow on Focus too
Has anyone tried to hard reset to see if it gets better?

Where it is sluggish? I don't feel any slugginess in mine
Mine does it occasionally too. I wouldn't say it's sluggish.. It's quite fast when it *does* rotate. Just sometimes when the screen rotates to say..landscape.. then I want to switch back to portrait..the screen wont rotate.. and i have to shake the phone a bit for it to work again. Doesnt happen always but it happens enough that you notice it.
As everyone know WP7 has a feature which rotate screen as phone is rotated. In my phone it always work, almost 90% of time it is in "vertical" mode, when I rotate phone it switches to "horizontal", but I have seen issues few times:
1. when phone lays steady on flat surface (like table), when I unlock phone it is sometime switched to "horizontal", even when it was in "vertical" when I had put it on table,
2. when I am talking to sb with this phone, and phone is hold vertical, when I want to end call, the "end call" button is vertical, but options below changed to horizontal.
Of course every time phone switches back to vertical mode after 3-5s but it looks strange and annoying.
Has anyone else this problem?
I have check sensor calibration in MFG menu and it looks ok, at every flat surface I got reading 0 at both axis with small random noise (below 1).
Elektryk I've got the same problem but I don't care about it
same problem here... really annoying :S
I have recently run into a problem. Whenever any of the motion options are turned on (Pick up, Tilt and so on), I can't move icons around properly. When I long press on an icon it immediately jumps a few pages over. If I try to move an icon with a folder it does the same which makes it very difficult to arrange. I believe motion has always been on but it just started doing this. Anyone ever have this happen or know what might have caused it? I calibrated the phone just in case but that didn't do anything. The funny thing is that I would expect Air gesture or Palm motion to cause something like that instead of motion.
