Portrait Mode for SmS after PR 1.2 !

I have seen some people mentioning here, that even after PR 1.2 portrait mode is not there especially for SmS? Any confirmation ?

It's useless anyway when you have a physical keyboard. You can have portrait mode but as soon as you open a conversation it goes back to tablet mode.

A very usable portrait mode for N900!

I just found this, some of you probably already know about it.
Download ShortcutD from the maemo repo, then go to settings and ShortcutD. In there you can use camera button or proximity sensor (i originally set caera button but found proximity sensor better), and from the list select 'ctrl+shift+r' (portrait). Doesn't work on desktop (thankfully) but it does elsewhere - conversations, images, app manager etc. Just cover the proximity sensor and it says 'rotation toggled' and you can tilt the phone to portrait. Very, very nice. Shame it doesn't affect the virtual keyboard for SMS though.
Enjoy! And if you like it, kudos!

i think that rotatedaemon was the only program that allowed a qwerty kb in the portrait mode for sms.

Portrait Mode For Nokia N900

Unfortunately for some reasons I am not getting full satisfaction from my Nokia N900.
Missing MMS,
Quick Battery Drain,
Landscape Mode all times,
Unsupported by OVI,
Fully not completable with Nokia PC Suite,
I understand it's a kind of internet tablet. May be for this reason this phone have only landscape mode. But it does not mean that I shall use this phone only for surfing Internet all the way. I think Nokia should look into this matter and enable Portrait mode. In fact landscape mode is not comfortable all the times specially we bring out the phone from trouser's pocket and turn the phone landscape physically and start operation !!
These are some basic points. I believe there are also lots of issues with this phone. But as a Nokia addict I expected more from this device. Now I am badly waiting for change this device :-(
Thanks to all !!!
Nokia N8

There is a portrait mode SMS in development over at Maemo.org. Not sure how Nokia plan to address portrait mode in the future.
But it's been stated by Nokea/Maemo that they have no intention in bringing "Native MMS" to the N900. Instead they are working closely with Frals (the creator of fMMS) to make sure his app integrates seamlessly with the O/S.
The post can be viewed here: Statement on native MMS
Personally I think Frals has done an awesome job and I've finally got the hang of using fMMS.
Ovi is currently in beta. (There's enough talk about it on here).
N-Series PC Suite has a better compatibility than Ovi Suite at present.
And the battery drain will be fixed in the next firmware update (PR1.2), which is imminent.

N900 PORTRAIT MODE FOR TEXTING

will this support texting in portrait mode i just got one and like it very much but hate the fact you cant text in portrait mode
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

My previous phone was the N97.. I bought it the day it was released in the UK (pre-order in the Nokia store in London.. happy days!)
Before that, my phone was the Nokia 7710.. I had that since 2004.. Not only was it the first touch screen phone from Nokia, but it was the only Series90 handset they released.. It was FANTASTIC.. It had a high res screen that was only beaten on the E90 and then the 5800/N97.. superb piece of kit..
The best thing about it, it was landscape format.. Going back to a candy bar with the N97 was a shock to the system, but at least it worked in landscape too.. Coming back to landscape mode with the N900 feels comfortable again, but I do understand how one handed operation is important.
The screen on the N900, although not multi-touch, is wicked accurate.. The problem is whether a cramped portrait mode keyboard can cope with the relatively large surface area of say a thumb pressing the screen.. something that is always more optimally suited to a screen technology that registers the shape of a screen press, not just the location..
I'm interested to know how the X6 works in portrait mode, see how Nokia are deailng with a different screen tech

No "Close/Reply" Option Anymore for SMS After 2.2

On 2.1, whenever I would receive a text message when my phone was off, the message would "wake" the phone, display the message, then provide and option to "close/reply". This was a very nice feature.
Now that I have upgraded to 2.2, I've noticed that the "close/reply" option no longer appears. I've tried looking for a feature that may have gotten reset since the update, but no luck.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, any solutions?

I don't remember a "close/reply" option ever being available. Even if it was, does it really matter if you have it or not? Simply slide the bar on the bottom when you see the message and the phone opens up for you to respond to it. Just leave the phone alone and it will go back to sleep within a few seconds. Want it to go to sleep immediately? Just click the sleep/wake button. It's that simple.

How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?

Starting with Flash Player 11.3, a protected mode was added as a new security enhancement for Firefox 4.0 and greater on Windows Vista and higher. This security enhancement is designed to limit the impact of attacks launched from malicious Flash content (SWF files). For additional details on this feature, please see Inside Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox
After reviewing this FAQ, we'd appreciate if you would take a minute to let us know if it helped. There is a link to a two question survey at the bottom of the page.
While we believe this feature is fully tested and reliable, if you encounter issues with Firefox we recommend the following troubleshooting steps.
Problem: Flash content does not appear, YouTube display errors such as "An error occurred. Please try again later.", or Flash video will not function properly.
Solution: If RealPlayer is installed on your system, please disable the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in.
Launch RealPlayer
Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper left corner of the window and choose Preferences.
Choose Download & Recording from the left hand panel
Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browsers"
Click OK and close RealPlayer
Restart Firefox
If you are viewing this page in Firefox and Flash Player is not working, please click here for an HTML5 version of this video: YouTube HTML5 HD Link
Problem: RealPlayer is not installed, Flash Player crashes in Firefox
Solution:
Troubleshoot Extensions and Add-Ons by launching Firefox in Safe Mode
1. Exit Firefox
2. Click Start > Run
3. Type the following then press [Enter]:
firefox.exe -p
4. Click Continue in Safe Mode
5. Attempt to reproduce the problem
If the problem does not occur in safe mode, please try to isolate it down to an individual plug-in.
1. Exit Firefox
2. Re-launch Firefox
3. Click Firefox > Add-Ons > Extensions
4. Click Disable on all of your extensions
5. Attempt to reproduce the problem, while enabling each extension until you can reproduce the issue
If the issue persists in Safe-Mode, please continue with the steps below:
Some users have indicated that random crashing stops when clearing their Firefox profile. This step will allow you to temporarily test with a clean set of Firefox preferences, without losing your preferences.
Exit Firefox
Click Start > Run
Type the following then press [Enter]: firefox.exe -p
Click Create Profile
Click Next
In the Enter new profile name dialog, type "Test"
Click Finish
Select Test and click Start Firefox
Use Firefox as normal. If the problem goes away, clearing your Firefox preferences, or migrating the important settings (bookmarks, etc) to a clean Profile may be a good permanent solution.
If the problem persists, switch back to your old profile by doing the following:
Exit Firefox
Click Start > Run
Type the following then press [enter]:firefox.exe –p
Choose your old account (typically "default")
Click Start Firefox
Solution: Try a clean Windows profile (You must be an Administrator to complete this step. If your user account is not an admin type, skip to the next section for instructions on reporting a bug.) Creating a new Windows user will rule out any account-specific preferences that may be enabled on your system.
Create a user account in Vista
Create a user account in Windows 7
Use Flash Player normally. If the problem goes away, this indicates a compatibility problem, either with software you have installed or with preferences set on your account.
Reporting a bug:
Please file bugs at bugbase.adobe.com.
Choose "Adobe Flash Player" as the product
Choose "Browser Integration" as the product area
Please provide as much information as possible with what you were doing before the crash and an exact URL where the crash occurred.
If available, please attach your Firefox crash logs to the bug using the Attachments field.
Show hidden files and folders. For more details, see the instructions for the operating system that you use: Vista and Windows 7.
Crash logs are located at C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\
Logs will be located in either the pending or submitted folder, depending on whether or not you submitted the crash report to Mozilla.
Last resort
Finally, if these problems are blocking you from using Flash Player we recommend, as a last resort, you either revert back to Flash Player 11.2 or temporarily disable Protected Mode. We strongly recommend that Protected Mode is manually enabled once this issue is resolved.
To revert to a previous version of Flash Player, please see this FAQ: How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?
To disable Protected Mode, add the following line to your mms.cfg file located in:
Windows 32bit: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
Windows 64bit: C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash
ProtectedMode=0
If the mms.cfg file does not exist, create one using any standard text editor (e.g.. notepad)
Depending on your operating system, you might need to first save the mms.cfg file to a writable location (such as your documents or desktop folder) and then copy the file into the destination folder using Windows Explorer.
To re-enable Protected Mode, simply remove the line from the mms.cfg file.
Hopefully this FAQ helped you. Please let us know by taking a minute to fill out this simple survey.

Rotate display for portrait mode?

I'd like to rotate the display orientation on my 15" MBP so that I can read documents in portrait mode while holding the laptop sideways. I found some tips instructing me to hold the option key down while selecting the displays pane in system preferences but that doesn't seem to work.
I found SMSRotateD which is a little demo that rotates the display using the sudden motion sensor:
http://www.osxbook.com/software/sms/smsrotated/
It does successfully rotate the display 90 degrees, but it works erratically and won't stay in one orientation for long. I'd rather do this without the SMS. Can anyone tell me how?

I do though hesitate to rotate the whole body of the machine. Functioning vertically may not be the best of things to do. At least back 10 years ago, and I don't know if it is true now, shifting the drive from the position it was formatted in relative to gravity to a different one for use without reformatting it can shorten the length of the hard drive. This was the case with the drives on some PowerMac 6500s which were formatted vertically and placed horizontally elsewhere.
Whether or not you can do that with notebook drives regularly, remains to be seen. I'd say it would be better to get an external display that supports the rotation.

IPhone 5 stuck in portrait mode after upgrade to iOS 8

iPhone 5 stuck in portrait mode after upgrade to iOS 8.
Phone was fine before the upgrade, iOS 8.1 did not fix the issue.
Have done a factory reset at Genius bar and they say it's a hardware issue and have gotten this response below:
"Now, when you perform an update to any iOS device many system checks are run to verify that all components are working as they should. This is part of the firmware update process. When these checks are run sometimes issues are detected, even if all seemed to be running well previously. When this happens one of two things can occur. Either the hardware will be deactivated completely, or it will be locked in a state of use so that the device can still be used. In the case of the gyroscope for screen rotation, the firmware locks in place so that while not perfect, the device can still remain on some functioning level. This is what appears to have happened when you updated. The software itself did not cause any failure, but it detected a currently upcoming issue and prevented it from becoming worse."
All I want is a replacement but they want me to pay £199 since it's out of warranty.
Anyone have the same issue?

If the device is out of warranty you must pay the out of warranty replacement fee to have your iPhone replaced. If the phone was still under warranty the phone would have been replaced at no charge.

G5 dual 2ghz. Been unplugged for a while. Powers up but no video or power to usb keyboard. Boots up fine in safe mode, restart into normal mode ok. After shutdown, back to same issue. What's happening?

G5 dual 2ghz. Been unplugged for a while. Powers up but no video or power to usb keyboard. Boots up fine in safe mode, restart into normal mode ok. After shutdown, back to same issue. What's happening?

I keep seeing people ask and the advice to replace if it has been unplugged, but really have nothing to confirm that from my experiences.
My experience is that a weak or dead battery can cause much more than date and time issues.
I have seen it time and time again.
Deal with used machines and you will quickly learn....
I'll give no "recipe" or set list of symptoms, but the range of irregularities that can occur make it a quick and easy first line of troubleshooting, especially when the machine has been off the mains for a few months.
Why fight mysterious maladies and troubleshoot with the knowledge that the PRAM battery is beyond it's useful life.
Maybe they recharge?
Not likely. They are chemically nasty, disposable, one way discharge batteries.
They aren't Lithium-ion batteries

I use to be able to rotate my iPhone and change the view of an image, Web page, email, and so on, from portrait to landscape, but after update, I cannot. I can only view in portrait mode. Anybody know what's up with that?

I use to be able to rotate my iPhone and change the view of an image, Web page, email, and so on, from portrait to landscape, but after update, I cannot. I can only view in portrait mode. Anybody know what’s up with that?

You need to do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B.
Restart phone
Reset phone
Restore in iTunes using a backup
Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup
If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure in the phone that needs evaluation by Apple.

How can I save the window size so that when I restart Firefox the size of the window is appropriate for my portrait mode monitor?

I have a 2 monitor setup with my second monitor in portrait mode. Whenever I start Firefox (on my 2nd screen where I always open it) I always have to resize the window so it goes down to show more info. I cannot figure out how to reset any type of default window size for the height and width parameters.

Hi,
From your post, I assume you are creating WebHelp output.
You need to create a window for the help in the Project Set-up pod. Then, you need to make sure you call the output so that the window is used. See http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm. This article on Peter's site give you an overview over the possibilities of calling context sensitivive webhelp and also tells you how to specify the needed window. Also, the installation directory of RoboHelp 8 contains a directory called CSH API. In there are example API's your developer can use to call the help.
Greet,
Willam

Change resolution for portrait mode.

Hello guys!
I've met a problem about resolution aspect ratio on my Mac. Please help.
Mac: Mac Book Air 2013-Mid (11 inches, Core i5, 4GB RAM, 256GB SSD)
OS: Mavericks (10.9.3)
Monitor: GeChic On-Lap 1302 for Mac (using MiniDisplayPort cable.)
Phenomenon:
In monitor setting screen, I rotated 270 or 90 degrees to use this monitor as portrait mode. But it displays weird as the photo below.
My MBA tries to display it as landscape mode, and there are big black dead space on upper and lower.
I just want it to display portrait mode without the dead spaces.
I tried some things so far as below to research.
1) SMC reset == No effect
2) Cram shell mode (use this external monitor as primary and disable Mac's own monitor) == Displays Nice without dead space. (But it can't be a solution because I need to use Mac's own monitor.)
3) In Apple store, use Mountain Lion with network boot == Displays Nice as Dual monitor.
4) In Apple store, use other Mac Book Air 2013-Mid (13 inches) with Yosemite == Same phenomenon.
5) Cabling with MiniDP to VGA converter and monitor's VGA cable == Displays nice. (But I don't want to use VGA cable because of image quality..)
6) In display setting screen, click "Resolution: scaled" radio button with "Option" key == No properly resolutions isn't shown.
7) In "Mission Control" setting screen, check off "Displays have separate Spaces" == No effect.
Today, I brought it to Apple store and discussed with Apple technician, but we couldn't solve this issue at last.
Are there anyone who met same problem? and solved? If so, please give any advices. Anything (such like Command line or any other thing) is OK.
Thanks!

Author for portrait mode?

I plan to hang a 42" LCD in the front window of my coffeehouse to promote our live jazz nights, gourmet coffee specials, and the like. I'd like to use Keynote but am unclear of any easy way to author for an LCD monitor hanging in a portrait mode (i.e rotated 90 degrees clockwise from normal.)
Any ideas on how to do this other than just do everything in keynote sideways?
G5 2x1.8 & 13" MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

What machine will drive the LCD? In OS X 10.4, many machines have an option in the System Preferences, in Displays, to rotate the display. What I would suggest doing is setting up your Keynote presentation at the horizontal and vertical dimensions that it will actually be displayed in (once the LCD is rotated), and create/edit the presentation in that fashion. When it comes to show the presentation, on the machine that drives the LCD go into the System Preferences, in Displays, and set the display to rotate 90 degrees.
