Annoying fact: N97 auto rotate while making phone ...

While you are in a conversation and you look back at the screen, you want to press hold,loudspeaker, cut off line or other in call function, the phone will auto rotate to landscape mode, which is very annoying, since the buttons layout will be different and will cause delay.
On the iphone, this auto rotate function is switched off during conversation, which is very practical.
Is there a function on the N97 to turn off the auto rotate during call conversation WHILE the general auto rotate function is switched on in Settings?

Just tried it on fw v2.0, it still rotates during a phone call and there is no option to turn auto-rotation off during phone calls.
I found this design flaw in the UI very annoying. The phone rings, you pull it out of your pocket to answer and the screen rotates to landscape, and let's face it the N97 is not the snappiest phone so I missed a few calls waiting for the screen orientation to get itself sorted. I ended up just turning auto-rotation off, it will still change to landscape orientation when you open the keyboard.
*** Any Nokia employees reading this please forward this issue to the N97 team so that for the next fw update they can either turn auto-rotation off when receiving/during a phone call or include an option for this. ***

N97 Auto Rotate and Backlight of Keyboard

Normally the backlight of keyboard will turn on when the keyboard is open and screen will auto rotate. However, the following situation will trigger the backlight of keyboard when the keyboard remain close:
1. Auto-rotate display: On.
2. Sensors: On.
3. Then turn the phone so that screen rotate from portrait to landscape.
This happen on my N97 with firmware 21.0.045.
Is it a bug?

how do you see back light on actual keyboard when you don't slide it out? the device is close up and i can't see on the keyboard so i can't notice if there is back light on keyboard when screen rotate vis versa from landscape mode to portrait mode. I have
1. Auto-rotate display: On.
2. Sensors: On.
3. Then turn the phone so that screen rotate from portrait to landscape and i can see any lighting through the slider.
Nop it's not a firmware bug.

Disabling the auto rotation while doing OCR

how can i disable the auto rotation function while doing OCR?

It does this to improve the OCR but if you can choose Searchable Image (Exact) under the PDF Output Style in the Recognize Text - General Settings dialog it won't deskew the image.

3G signal disappears every time while making phone calls

Hi all,
After my iPhone was updated to 4.2.1, the 3G signal disappears every time while I make phone calls, but if it is hooked up with WiFi then it would be fine. Does the same problem happen to anyone of you? Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot

I have had similar problems. I-Phone worked beautifully for about 3 weeks the I started getting static on my end. I did some research and narrowed down the fact that the static was only heard on my end. It started just sporadically but is now about 85% of the time when Imake calls. It happens in multiple locations and cities. The caller on the other end never hears it. There is no problem with speaker phone or playing music etc...It happens when calling hard lines as well as wireless (ie...verified calls to Sprint, Verizon, Nextel wireless callers as well as Government Land Lines, Verizon home phone and Comcast Ip Phone callers) Stopped in to AT&T and they looked at me funny and suggested I ask Apple to replace the phone.

Nokia 610 auto rotate

Folks,
Noticed some discussions on auto rotate with 610 phone which cannot be switched on or off as needed.
This is most irritating at times, believe Nokia may be bringing out an upgrade which will enable users to turn the auto rotate on or off.
Anyone know when this upgrade will be coming out ?
Thanks for your help.
Solved!

Thanks yasfer' for your help. Certainly disappointing as it is most annoying, like half way thru typing a text message and the screen flips around.
Will persevere for the moment, hope I don't have to go out and buy another phone.
Thanks again.

Twist - Auto-rotate sticks in protrait

If I enable auto rotate with the twist in laptop confiiguration, and rotate it sideways, it will not return to either landscape orentation. You can flip portrait either way. putting it in tablet more sometimes fixes it, but sometimes the touchpad ends up 90 degrees off, and a powerdown is the only recovery.

I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but after I turned off auto-rotation by pressing Windows Key + o (the letter, not the number), I "manually" rotate the screen orientation by right-clicking on the desktop --> Graphic Options --> Rotation --> then choose from "Normal" (i.e., laptop); 90 Degrees; 180 Degrees; or 270 Degrees, and it seems to stick. (The Ctrl+Arrow key combination never worked for me.)
Turning off Auto-Rotation while in Laptop mode:
From the desktop, I just used Windows Key + o until the "Autorotate off" message appeared onscreen.
Alternatively, you can press Windows Key +x --> Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound --> Display --> Change Display Settings --> remove the checkmark from the "Allow the Screen to auto-rotate" box --> Click OK
To Right-Click the desktop "by touch" (e.g., you're already in Tent Mode and the orientation is wrong, and it's awkward to try to use the keyboard):
Press and hold your finger on the desktop and a square will appear. Remove your finger from the desktop and the right-click menu will appear, then touch Graphic Options --> Rotation --> then choose 180 Degrees.
Updated: Just realized that switching to Tent Mode doesn't turn auto-rotate back on, but if I collapse my screen down into Tablet Mode from Tent Mode, when the screen is about an inch from touching the keyboard, auto-rotate comes back on automatically. Still, if I press the auto-rotate button above the power button to turn auto-rotate off, when I "manually" adjust the rotation of the screen, it stays in place. But when I raise the lid again to go back into Laptop Mode, auto-rotation comes back on by itself.
I'd love to find out how to disable whatever turns on the auto-rotation function when the screen is in a certain position.

Auto rotate N97

I got another N97 today. My old one would auto rotate the screen when turned. But the new one does not, it onle does when you open it. I have tried looking to see if I can find a setting to change, but no luck.
Am I missing something?

Hello HaithamOkeely,
We've an article that provides the following troubleshooting steps that may help stabilize your iPhone.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

Press '''START + R''' in keyboard to open the '''Run''' box(or '''start''' then '''run''') , type in the RUN box '''%APPDATA%''' (or copied in just i wrote, bold text) then click '''OK'''. A Windows Explorer window will appear, in this window, choose '''Mozilla''' then '''Firefox''' then '''Profiles'''.

HT201401 how do i set my phone to auto rotate my photos when i turn my phone around?

how do i set my phone to auto rotate my photos when i turn my phone around?

Try unlocking the auto-rotation. Go to your multitasking bar (double tap Home button), then swipe from left to right. There should be a symbol there that looks like a circular arrow with a lock in there. See if it's 'locked'.

Iphone 6 rotates to landscape while holding phone in portrait while using mail or messaging. Then will randomly switch back.

iphone 6 rotates to landscape while holding phone in portrait while using mail or messaging. Then will randomly switch back. try to lock and unlock phone close mail app in bakground and relaunch. etc. Then it will randomly switch back. Any Thoughts?!! Do I have a Bad motion sensor?

that worked until today, so 5 days of success. I think ill just try portrait lock until I need landscape. I guess that's kinda what it's there for
appreciate the help though
if anyone thinks of a more permanent solution, would appreciate that as well
thank you

Nokia 5800 v21.0.25 Auto-Rotate issue (firmware re...

Hi,
After updating OTA to the lastest firmware Auto-Rotate display stopped working. When i first installed the new FW I had issue with the home screen. It kept blinking like every 1 sec between homescreen and appication screen. This is when I noticed that I cannot reinstall the FW from either NSU or OTA(I suppose it has been pulled of due to some problem for this model). I was luckily able to soft-reset the phone which fixed the home screen blinking, but the Auto-rotate doesn't work anymore. Sensor seems to be ok since step counter is working, muting the phone call and snoozing alarm works
Now I'm pretty annoyed since I can't reinstall the software and this is my only phone at the moment so I have to loan some phone from somewhere in order to the this to the service.
So be carefull with the new firmware.
Solved!

You cannot reinstall OTA updates because they only work from version A to version B. Your phone now has version B on it already.
I've read that 5800s don't have NSU available for v21 yet, but I guess it's just a matter of time, then you can reinstall as many times as you like!
Thanks for the tip though. I don't use the auto-rotate or motion sensor at all, so I'll be updating just to get the improved Touch that's apparently coming.
I believe that if you have one version installed, and it is the latest one, you can reinstall it using NSU. I'm not sure how it works if you updated OTA vs NSU, though.
