Dial in landscape

Hi,
I have an iphone 6 plus.
I'd like to use my phone in landscape mode whenever possible as my phone is mounted on the windshield of my car horizontally.
The problem is that although the main view of the ios can be viewed in landscape mode, the dialer app (or phone app) can not.
This seems to be a very basic thing, since this app is written by apple and can't be changed.
Is there a plan to add support for a horizontal dialer, or am I missing some setting options that can already enable it?
Thanks

If I'm not mistaken, there's an app for that. I can't recall the name, but it's part of the "speed dial" family. Contact pictures can be flipped thru. I didn't get it because I did not like the round dial it uses. Looks like the round iPod dial or wheel. I'll post again if I see it.

  • Nokia N8 landscape dial feature

    Hello,
    I'm not sure if there is written everywhere else, but i have a comment to make on the new firmware for nokia n8, the 13.16.
    it is known that it has the possiblility to dial a number and searh in agenda having the phone in landscape position - think of having it mounted in car holder on the windshied.
    Now, after dialing in landscape mode,  once the phone is connecting, it switches automatically to portrait mode, hence is difficult to see the number you're connected to, not to mention that photo is switched ot landscape.
    Same thing, on receiving calls, if phone is in landscape mode, then switches in portrait.
    if i want to see who is calling me, if the phone is mounted in car holder, in landscape mode, then i have to take it out, switch to portrait... that takes time and concentration is lost.
    i saw this improvement mentioned on the new firmware, but i think that this is not finished all the way down. i really think that complete feature is easy to do, specially that work is started already...
    yes, i'm aware that i can place the phone in portrait mode in car mount, but then what would be the usefullness of the landscape dial possibility ?
    Have a nice day,
    Radu

    I just noticed this today. When typing email, notes or other entries it seems fine but when commenting on facebook it does the double space thing. The new firmware is not available for Rogers yet... still waiting.

  • C7 Landscape dialer

    Apart with the purple-instead-of-black display issue, and the occasional system hanging (about 5 times since purchase, which is better than any other phone I've had so far) I've been very happy with my C7, 6 weeks after purchasing.
    I'm hoping that new firmware which is supposedly still being worked on will address some of the many serious problems this phone has, as well as the minor irritations that should NEVER have made it past basic quality testing, such as no longer being notified when I have a new text message once I have received a picture message until I restart my phone, and the "message deferred" problem whenever I try to send one myself.
    I would also love to have a method of rotating the screen without the need to physically rotate the phone, and choose to be able to over-ride the orientation sensor when I choose to do so.
    I would just like to report that since upgrading my phone to the latest firmware (over a week ago) I've not had any phone hangs or restarts, and was pleased to discover that the dialer rotates to landscape view, which is very handy when I have the phone in its holder on my car dashboard. But I noticed today that when I actually make a call with the dialer in landscape view, the phone switches back to profile view. Does anyone else get this? Can anyone please offer some kind of explanation as to why this has to be?

    By the way, has anyone else noticed that the paint on their silver model C7 is starting to wear off? I treat my phone with utmost care, Its always inside a leather wallet, but I'm noticing the paint is beginning to tarnish as though its wearing off. The inside of my wallet is very smooth and non-abrasive and fits snugly.
    If this is truly happening, then as far as I'm concerned I will have totally lost faith in Nokia to provide the most basic quality as they are selling products that are unfit for purpose.  I dont expect to pay this much for a phone only to find that after 1 month of extremely careful handling, the paint is coming off!

  • Dialer and battery

    Normally, my HTC Thunderbolt with an extended battery gives me about 10-12 hours of talk and internet use and about 24 hours of standby time.  On Friday 9/14 I got just four hours of use.  In looking at battery use, I see the dialer went nuts chewing up 25% of the battery on a continuous basis. I had not made any calls since Thursday evening.
    Force stopping the dialer and a cold reboot did not solve the problem.
    However, after leaving the device turned off and on charge over night I see the dialer has throttled back to 2% of use or zero.  This is standby mode as I understand it.
    A review of various Android forums on the Internet shows many reports of similar problems with Android phones.  A call to Verizon Technical Support revealed the carrier has no record of this type of problem!
    There is no single cause of the dialer going berserk, but some reports suggest is it associated with the following sound settings being checked "on":
    - Quiet ring on pickup
    - Pocket mode
    - Flip for speaker
    All three settings are associated with the motion sensor.  My suspicion is that a bug in the motion sensor code keeps the dialer from shutting down after a call and after one or more of these functions are triggered by the user. 
    The older version of the dialer had a setting that forced it to shut down after a call.  You could set it to return to the contacts screen on hang up.  That option is gone in Android 2.3.4, SW # 2.11.605.19 71ORD
    It is not useful to turn off the motion sensor, though there are NON-root tools do so, since it is also used for screen orientation, e.g. landscape v. portrait, for other functions.
    It seems to me that HTC and Verizon have some explaining to do because hundreds of reports on the Internet clearly means some of them must have been brought to the carrier's attention over time.
    BTW: Verizon's technical support blamed the battery and sold me a new extended unit for $50 since the original was out of warranty.  That was before I did the research I am reporting here.

  • Contact picture showing in landscape

    After adding contact picture in contact list while dialing contact no picture showing in landscape mode

    But when you initiale a call to someone,the dialer is in normal view,not horizontal.
    All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

  • N8 won't go to landscape mode

    Hey everybody,
    I've had the N8 for a month now and I'm loving it.  The main reason I got the phone was because of the picture and video quality and it's ability to become my all-in-one device.
    I've ran into a problem now that I need help with.  My phone won't rotate into landscape mode.  This is a problem because now I can't type texts and messages in qwerty form and using the portrait keyboard is a pain in the butt.  Has anybody else experienced this?  Is it a hardware or software problem?  I've already searched throughout the internet and have tried the following solutions but they didn't work:
    Change the sensor settings on the phone and ensured the auto-rotate display was activated
    Removed any apps that i downloaded since the problem occured
    Restarted my phone several times to see if that worked
    Did a soft reset on the phone and chose to delete and restore the phone to factory settings.
    test out the accelerometer by downloading the level app (app did not run for some reason)
    None of these solutions worked for me.  I haven't done a hard reset because I've read that Ovi Maps will not show up on the phone.  I have a feeling it's a problem with the phone's accelerometer.  I am tempted to call Nokia support but I'd rather fix this problem at home if it's a simple solution.
    Thanks

    One final thing you can try is a factory reset of the phone.
    If you dont already have it, download and install Nokia Ovi Suite
    Connect phone to computer and do a backup of its contents through Tools -> Backup
    Disconnect phone from computer
    Choose Call -> dial *#7370#
    Phone asks if you want to restore phone to factory settings, answer yes
    Phone restarts.
    Try the landscape mode again.
    If it still doesnt work, seems the sensors dosnt work properly and phone needs service.

  • Home screen won't rotate to landscape

    I thought that my home screen would rotate into landscape mode when I first got the phone, but it will no longer do so.  This happens on the home screen and in the app drawer.  When my phone is in the desktop cradle it rotates just fine.  When I am in an app such as messaging or the browser it rotates also with no problem.
    Auto rotation is checked in settings - display.
    Anyone know why this might be happening or how to fix it?  I sometimes prefer to hold my phone in landscape mode depending on how I am using it.

    JoeNe,
    This appears to be an artifact of the OS.  I tried to duplicate the situation, and was easily able to.  Also, the dialer screen does not rotate.
    I use a desk dock for the phone, and when docked the Apps screen, the dialer screen and the home screens all rotate (the phone is docked in an orientation with its left side down).  So I think this is part of the design of the OS.
    Perhaps not to your liking, but I don't think this is considered a malfunction.

  • Camera Raw Sharpening Settings for Landscapes

    Hi
    Would anyone be so kind as to tell me if they have their own preferred sharpening (Detail) settings for sharpening landscapes in Camera Raw, and what these settings are.
    Also if you have sharpening settings for other photographs I would also be very grateful for them. Maybe there is a guide out there that gives suggested sharpening parameters for the Detail tab that someone may know of?
    Thanking you in advance for any anticipated help you can give me here.

    The short answer is to dial in what looks right.  Sometimes that's NO sharpening.  Only experience will tell you what will work best in YOUR post processing workflow.  You have to experiment some to arrive at your own best practices.
    May I suggest some additional things that I've found to be useful:
    1.  Convert to a resolution higher than the native camera photosite count.  In other words, if you're shooting a 10 MP camera, convert to the 17 MP size.
    2.  Determination of a good conversion sharpening value will depend on what you're going to do with an image.  You might, for example, choose to dial in a LOT of sharpening during conversion if you're going to immediately downsize an image greatly for web display.  Or you might dial in very little if you have a sophisticated sharpening tool you're going to use later.
    Hope this helps.

  • What is Landscape mode?

    I have recently bought the Canon t4i, and as I was looking through the different modes on the dial I noticed "Landscape" When shooting pictures/video, what are the differences between being in Manual/Automatic versus Landscape? Is there a significant advantage while using this mode?
    Thanks for any information.

    Entry-level bodies as well as the mid-tier bodies (all the Rebels, but plus the bodies with 2-digit models such as the 60D and 70D) have "scene" modes.
    These are basically full-automatic modes but they bias your cameras exposure settings based on an understanding of what you're trying to shoot.
    For any given shot, there are lots of combinations of shuter speed, aperture (f-stop), and ISO that will add up to the "equivalent" exposure (the right amount of light is recieved at the sensor.)  For example you could use a wide aperture open with a short exposure time... or narrow the aperture opening but compensate by using a longer exposure time.)  
    It turns out that while there are a number of ways to combine f-stop, shutter speed, and ISO to get the same "equivalent" exposure... the shots will not actually be the same.
    When shooting action, for example, you probably want a faster shutter speed so you can "freeze" action otherwise you end up with a blurred subject because they moved while the shutter was open.   To get a faster shutter exposure, the aperture is opened considerably so that it can gather more light in the brief moment that the shutter is open.  BUT... when the aperture is wider, it narrows the "depth of field" -- or range of distances at which a subject will appear to be more-or-less acceptably focused.  That narrow depth of field is bad for landscape photographers... who generally want as much to be in acceptable focus as possible.
    When shooting landscape, the computer biases the exposure by using a small aperture (high f-stop value) and compensating for the fact that the lens is now limiting how much light travels through... but keeping the shutter open much longer so that it ultimately gathers the same amount of light.  This results in an image with a very broad depth-of-field (lots of stuff is in acceptable focus -- even at a vast range of distances.)
    The high end bodies (bodies that only have a single digit.... like the 7D, 5D, and 1D bodies) do not have these "scene" based modes because they tend to be targeted at advanced photographers (whehter professionals or advanced non-professionals.)  Those shooters typically know that, for a landscape, they'd just need to set a smaller aperture (higher f-stop) and compensate by using a longer shutter speed.
    BTW... since the shutter speed will be getting slower, you'll want to keep an eye on the shutter speed the camera actually plans to use.  If you are attempting to hand-hold the camera for the shot, then you'd want to make sure you're able to be steady while the shutter is open -- or you can get a blurred result due to camera-movement.
    A good book to help understand these concepts is Bryan Peterson's book "Understanding Exposure" -- it's specifically written to help new owners of DSLRs understand how to take control of their camera by teaching you how to shoot completely in manual mode for more creative and better looking results.  The Scott Kelby Digital Photography series of books (I think there are 4 volumes now) is also very popular.

  • Nokia N8 Call Screen does not rotate landscape

    After PR1.1 the dialer rotates to landscape mode on the N8, but the call screen that comes up after this, is still in portrait mode.
    Yet, on the C6, the call screen also rotates to landcape mode with PR1.1
    (see screenshot of C6 call screen in landscape mode)
    Why does the C6 call screeen rotate landscape yet the N8 does not?
    thanks

    You are correct, C6 is not but I meant to say NOKIA C6-01 is running S^3, and the call creen rotates landscape, yet the N8 does not.
    http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_c6_01-3524.php
    I would like Nokia to tell me why this is, and if they are going to address it.
    I want a landscape call screen also for my N8!

  • IPhone 5s voice dial always asks to confirm

    I am able to voice dial most everyone in my conacts database without problems - except my wife. I say 'Call Jane Smith, mobile" and the display correctly interprets my voice and displays 'Call Jane Smith". Then it asks "Do you mean Jane Smith?" Once I say yes, it dials properly. There are no other Jane Smith's or similar in my contacts, and this extra confirmation step does not happen with other numbers. Any idea what could be causing this, or how I might fix it? Thanks for any help!

    Try syncing it back up and make sure the memos are included in the sync.

  • Print the report on page has width larger than height and not landscape mode

    Hi,
    I'm trying to print report on page (Width: 18cm, Height: 13cm) which the width larger than the height.
    The problem is windows keeps changing the page oreintation to landscape and when I change it back to portrait its changing the width to 13cm and height to 18cm.
    I'm using dot matrix printer to print the report, if i put Landscape , printer is printing the text in horizontal.
    Already i have tried to setup the custom for on printer, and used custom page size but it is changing to landscape.
    I need to print the report with out preview, direct print top printer, NO PDF....
    Thank you .....

    Hi Anil,
    After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. When I set (Width: 18cm, Height: 13cm) as the Report Page size, it would automatically convert Orientation from Portrait to Landscape. Because the Orientation displayed is dependent on the page
    width and page height of the report.
    But in my scenario, the Orientation option just change the Width and Height sizes, it couldn’t affect the text rotation. I guess this issue can be caused by the printer and printer driver, please try to update them. Reference:

  • Print landscape report in character mode

    Hi!
    It seems that I should change xxx.prt file in DESFORMAT parameter to match different kinds of printers in order to print landscape report in character mode.
    Our customers are international wide. How can I do to make this setting meet every customer for printing reports in landscape style?
    We will run the reports on Unix on the middle tier and customers read them in browser.
    Thanks for help.

    Hi,
    This sounds like a similar problem that I had (and still having). It was (is) a Bug. Go to metalink.oracle.com and reference this bug#1413754. See if this is your problem as well. My only work around was change the format of the file instead of using character mode I am now using PDF. Which is working fine for me.

  • My iPod touch is stuck in landscape view.  Even when held vertically if I open facebook or safari is rotates to landscape.  Have tried turning on and off, same results. Any ideas to fix?

    My iPod touch is stuck in landscape view.  Even when held vertically if I open facebook or safari is rotates to landscape.  Have tried turning on and off, same results. Any ideas to fix?

    Try switching it back from landscape to vertical. Or, go to settings and see if you have any special setting turned on that enable only landscape view. Also, try hooking it up to your computer and charging it to see what happens.

  • IPhone 6 month view in landscape mode??

    hello, was wondering if there is a way to view an entire month in landscape mode on the  regular iPhone 6 just like we can on the iPad?? Couldn't find it and would love this feature if it doesn't exist. I don't schedule things by the hour. I think the screen is plenty big for this and the month view in horizontal mode is useless since the little dots won't show colors.
    Thanks for any info!

    I haven't found a way to display the whole month in landscape view on my iPhone 6. May not exist. You can send feedback to Apple about this here:
