x2 accelerometer? is there anyway to use it - XPERIA X2 General

is there anyway to use it for auto screen rotation? i hate using the portrait keyboard and i want to use the landscape one WITHOUT having to slide my keyboard.

x1 does not have an accelerometer

it says x2

I am trying to figure this out myself as well. Somebody was able to get that enabled on the HTC phones. I hope a code monkey can figure this out

GSen (SKKV Software)

Anyone tried this app on the athena? (as it also has an accelerometer) If so does it work?

Would be brilliant if it works but my hopes aren't high as I couldn't find anything on the topic.

looks like a nice tool, but after I installed on my Ameo I tried to use GSen Version 1.40.
But a window popup with following message :
cannot connect to GSensor (1)
mhh, doesn't run on Ameo ... and delete it ...
Ameo, t-mobile ROM version 6
btw: I've now asked the developer why GSen is not running on Ameo ... hope I get an answer..
Accelerometer
Hey,
I've installed it on my HTC Advantage X7510 with WM6.! Professional, and I can confirm that it works.
When I'm in the today screen and I turn the PDA it does turn in Landscape and Portrait mode with no problem great at last it works.
Thanks for the link if anybody what's me to try anything please let me known.
Thanks
Gigino
I am happy for you gigino, but I am in the same boat as palmchen (have a X7500 with t-mobile WM6 ROM).
Perhaps the interface to the sensor is slightly different between WM6 and 6.1
I am sure it can't be that difficult to access it from WM6. Hopefully the developer will be able to implement it or give some clue which will assist some brainbox from this community in hacking this version to get working with WM6. In my eyes this is one of those killer apps.
I tried this on wm6.1, and had the same error message.
IMO the answer is simple: it works using HTC VUEFLO .dll. X7510 has those dll, x7500 doesn't!
In AP4 or AP5 it will work

mhh, simple question?
could you please provide the new vueflo.dll for the old devices ?
If it only a dll to change that should be not a problem, or ?
btw: I've asked the developer, but he told me that he is to busy and have no time in the moment to update this programm.
Thanks for this. It is a great find. Works well with my X7510.
This is a must have application for the X7510. It is just amazing.

For some it is a must have. For others, it is an annoyance and irritation.
only because we can't get it working!
Sorry guys, we doesn´t have these devices for testing.
We just was surprised about the info, our tool is working on HTC Advantage X7510.
Also we not know the reason why it is not working on HTC Advantage X7500.
Possible reasons:
- missing/different software driver
- different ROM/ACU version
- missing needed hardware
As i said, we cannot test because of missing hardware.

Not because of that. It was working all right.
I hated this auto rotate thing because 9 out of times the rotate happens against my wish, and it slows my device.
After the initial few minutes of novelty, I was already wanting to switch it off.

Thanks for the info, but I still far prefer assigning rotate screen to a hardware button and just press that when I want to rotate.

No, I don't, there are SOME dll, you can find it in the AP4 / AP5 ROM. I agree, the rotation is too slow and the screen rotation is useless and time consuming 90% of time. My brain is much faster in image rotation and my finger is slower than brain but acts only when needed

Screen rotation is fast on mine. Might be ROM or today screen related in yours.
The speed you can change in settings: #timeout(value) - default value 1000 ms

Guitar Hero 3 Mobile HTC Diamond

Hi there, wonder if any 1 can help me here.
I've just purchased guitar hero 3 with an activation code for my Diamond. I started the installer and chose the htc diamond from the list of devices and it installed no problem. I started it up on the diamond entered my activation code and it just when back to the home screen. It wont start when i click the GH3 icon it just flashes black and goes to the home screen. I've tried soft reset and that did nothing.
Any Ideas?
GH3 dont work with the diamond. The problem is also with the demo version of the game.
So why does the installer have it in its list?
I have no idea, maybe it works on old roms. But i never heard that anyone got it working.
There is another thread here with the same discussion. Search for it, maybe someone got a solution for the problem.
Has anyone gotten this to work on the Diamond yet?
nope it's still not working, i enter my key to active product (i can get to that screen) but after i've entered the key it restarts and then just always quits to desktop, very lame as it would be an awesome game
I got the same issue
i wish i read the thread before purchasing the game..and trying the impossible to get it to work..
thats pretty wack !
Claim the game and get yourself a refund.
It doesn't work on this or the Raphael, even the new v1.10 version. From what i read on another forum, there are compatibility issues with VGA devices.
is there any possibility to put this work ona htc diamond?? any way??

Guitar Hero HTC TOUCH DIAMOND
when commes the update??
I need it fast.
THX> Emaunel
and pgr rally run with 1 fps all the time stucks
There is a program to switch your resolution from vga to wvga... maybe it works when you change your resolution.
You can get the program for example here:
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/12...ution-standardwide-and-square-resolution.html
pls tell me if it works...
So no ones tried this yet even tho you bought the game? Cmon we need an update I'll buy the game in a heartbeat if I can get it working, hey someone mentioned a demo, anyone have a link I'll try it and post it.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/totalaccess/software/games/guitarhero3.mspx
So I tried this but the only option was 640x480 to 480x480 and that mode didn't work, if there was a way to get 320x240 I bet it would work.

HD rarely uses landscape mode

Folks,
I only got my baby yesterday, but is anyone else finding this?
For me, the device will only switch to landscape mode for Opera, Photos & Videos, and Teeter. Not in TouchFlow 3D Home or any of its tabs, Mobile Office apps, TomTom 7, ...anything!
I've tried turning off Touchflow 3D and rebooting with no effect and with the G-Sensor there is no manual setting to force landscape.
This makes the keyboard in TomTom tiny and means that the screen isn't that much more usable for Office apps than my venerable old 2.8" TyTn.
Please could someone tell me if it's just my phone that's afflicted or is it a "feature"?
Thanks!

no thats totally normal. and known since the first infos of the HD came out.
If you really want full landscape switching, get Gyrator2 or Gsen. both can be found on this forum
It doesn't help you, JTHM, but I hardly ever use landscape mode in my Touch (Elf) so perhaps the way the Touch HD works is by design for people like me. The only time landscape mode offers any advantage to me is for photos, videos and web browsing. With the mini USB connector at the bottom, my Touch is always in its cradle in portrait orientation and it sits in the car more easily this way too.
I'm surprised there's no manually-activated landscape option in the software though.
(Sorry that this post doesn't really help you but perhaps it illustrates that for some (maybe most?) users the lack of landscape isn't a problem at all and may therefore be by design.)
Hang on, can I clarify.
I like to use my xda2i in landscape with my bluetooth travel keyboard sometimes. Does this mean that i can't just rotate the screen to landscape and use it in landscape mode with my keyboard??
......Ib a n e

I think that raziel1 has already answered that question? Use Gyrator2 or Gsen both of which can be found in this forum.
It does seem to be missing a trick by not have some software button built in to switch the screen though.
I had one flaw with the HD: The typing. I wanted (like Iphone) to use the keyboard in landscape so i had more room for my fingers. But the HD doesn't do that standard.
I installed Gyrator 2 and set it to switch to landscape when i use my keyboard. In every application, now when I use my keyboard and tilt the device, the screen rotates.
It made my HD even better.
Which is better? Gsen or Gyrator? I know they have other features but I only want an app to rotate landscape and uses minimal memory as I guess it needs to be running on start up.
ok, gyrator is a PROGRAM. I thought it was another handset or something. oh as long as there is soemthing you can do te get the landscape working that's sweet for me. I'm really close to buying one of these beasts!
I'm surprised that TomTom doesn't rotate automatically.
I've sure I've seen screen shots of it in Landscape mode and wouldn't have thought those web site's had installed any other third-party screen orientation software.
Beards.
You can also purchase Resco keyboard. It has large keys that you can use with your fingers. Well that depends how big your fingers are. Best to download a copy of the program, install it and test it out.
And since the screen is 3.8, it should give you plenty of space on top to see your message?

I'd like to see a full landscape keyboard, but can't find any pics/vids if u could try, and post it I'd be most appreciative.

you can use gsen

yeah, after another reboot it's working now. tried it in a couple apps and seems fine so far... funny thing is with the streaming video app, when you go to fullscreen it auto rotates the screen, but as soon as you move the hd to landscape position gyrator rotates it again... will need to check out the docs on how to add exceptions.

I'm interested in this too. I can programme my Sky+ box from my Hermes and would want to be able to do it if I get an HD.
Anyone?
BUMP - this would be a killer feature for me

Curious behaviour, this ner happened to me...
Tried hard reset ??
yes i have tried a hard reset... im on jack's 1.08 rom
eyup boinger, glad to see youve got a proper phone now screen size is still a bit of a shock after the athena though...
are you running a task manager, cos ive noticed the panels seem to autoclose when not focussed when using using htc taskmanager.
using wktask you can see the panel running in the background still.
i have noticed this using nearly all of the custom roms
Yea i actually found it out when i was out today, it annoyed me to all hell so i just thought it might have something to do with my taskmanager (im using wisbar) i disabled the close on it and it seems to be working fine so far...
Ya i miss the screen on the athena, but im gonna wait for wm7 before my next major upgrade... will prob go back to something with a larger screen, how are you liking the xperia ?

I love it, but snap I'd be happier going back to a bigger screen, I'm using my athena as a webbrowser around the house
Performancewise I think the x1 is the best so far, the form factor is wrong though.
I'd love to have a rehash of a Uni with a 4" screen..
yea seriously uni was great! evryone has been wanting that, yet htc doesnt wanna deliver... silly imo
