Screen orientation changes

My new iPod Nano 6 changes it's screen orientation of it's own accord

Probably not, it may be rubbing up against something. Even if it is just put it back where you want it.

Screen orientation changes to potrait in android device when wake up

Please help me on this
I am building an app in as3 for android and ios. I have set the screen orientation to LANDSCAPE in apple devices its working fine when I tried it in samsung galaxy tab its goes to potrait mode when the device wakes up please give solution to solve this

Updated Air to 3.8, But still have the problem that lock the samsung tab with app running and wake up after 5 min screen orientation still in landscape(that what I set) that's fine but image shrinks like getting potrait view in Landscape

For some reason changing my screen orientation changes some font sizes

So when I use xrandr --rotate {orientation} to put my screen in portrait mode, then open a new application the font will be larger than usual. Example 1 (normal), Example 2 (larger). I think I know what the problem is, just not how to fix it. For some background, I'm running arch with the i3 windows manager. I've got a 24" screen with 1920x1200 resolution. Recently I uninstalled gnome, and after that is when I noticed the problems popping up.
Here are some outputs:
xdpyinfo (horizontal orientation)
xdpyinfo | grep -E 'dimensions|resolution'
dimensions: 1920x1200 pixels (508x317 millimeters)
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
xdpyinfo (vertical orientation)
xdpyinfo | grep -E 'dimensions|resolution'
dimensions: 1200x1920 pixels (508x317 millimeters)
resolution: 60x154 dots per inch
xrandr (horizontal orientation)
xrandr | grep -w connected
HDMI1 connected 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 518mm x 324mm
xrandr (vertical orientation)
xrandr | grep -w connected
HDMI1 connected 1200x1920+0+0 left (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 518mm x 324mm
It seems the big thing to note is that in landscape and portrait the dpi is different (96x96 vs 60x154). I think the reason for this is because in portrait the dpi calculation is dividing horizontal pixels by vertical screen length, instead of horizontal screen length and vice versa (I actually did the calculation myself to see if this was the case, and my numbers matched up).
So I guess my question is, why is this happening, and what's the best way to go about fixing it? Also why does xdpyinfo show a different screen length than xrandr? (508x317mm vs 518x324) Xrandr is actually closer.
Thanks!

A common mistake is to put code lines *after* the "exec startmyguiblah" line, and the exec command prevents any such further code from executing
Your command is wrong - --dpi only accepts a single value
Check with:
xdpyinfo | grep -B1 dot
Whereas --fbmm can change the DPI properly, since the DPI is 2 values - horizontal and vertical.

5800 v50 - screen orientation change taking EIGHT ...

When using the keyboard to enter text, if I switch from vertical to horizonal it is taking up to 8 seconds for the change to occur
It seems that "upgrading" to v50 has been a complete waste of time.
The performance is far worse than any other update I have applied v2x,v3x
How can I stop this from happening?
Bizarrely, whenever I tried to do a firmware update from v3x, it said none were available.
I did a hard factory reset [red green camera], then suddenly I am allowed to update to v50
This is pretty poor behaviour.

There are several possible reasons for this, possibly RAM issues for instance. Many people have reported varying things about v50, ranging from it stabilized the phone to slowing it down to the point that it needs a format of either phone, memory card, or both depending on the nature of the problem. One of the most possible causes are the previous applications and settings we had.
My first advice would be to try removing your memory card to see if the current behaviour still would continue. If it works better after removing the card and rebooting (and using without card), then the problem lies in the card.
If it doesnt, you may have to do a hard reset. A hard reset is advisable if you encounter problems after update since we have to take into account new settings data and features which the firmware adds that may come into conflict with old settings and apps.

Air 2.6 Screen orientation

I'm trying to get this Air 2.6 feature to work again.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/891/cpsid_89107.html
Changes in AIR 2.6
Screen orientation changes in 2.6 namespace
Based on the release doc, it says "The swf is required to be compiled with the flag "-target-player=11" to make use of supportedOrientations API."
How do I "compile with the flag" ???
I'm using Flash CS5 to publish .swf
I got the adt cmd line working.
My AS3 script:
addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE, onOrientationChange);
function onOrientationChange(event:StageOrientationEvent):void {
trace("onOrientationChange:"+event.afterOrientation);
...and process result.
Thanks,
Alfred

StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE and StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING are not part of the supportedOrientations API. If you want to prevent Portrait, you can do that like this:
stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING, orientationChanging);
private function orientationChanging(e:StageOrientationEvent) {
if (e.afterOrientation == "default" || e.afterOrientation == "upsideDown") {
e.preventDefault();
That trick will work with AIR 2.0 as well as AIR 2.6, and without requiring player 11.

Programmatically change screen orientation and/or resolution?

We don't have VB.NET available and I was wondering if it is possible to create VBA code that would change:
1) screen orientation (and maybe resolution)
2) on a specific monitor (in a multiple monitor setup; we have two)
The idea would be to put it into an Excel workbook and have the macro autorun then exit.
I see examples for C#.Net but can't find any for VBA. Maybe it's not possible. Your comments are appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: ANY MS Office application can be used as long as it can be used via a shortcut on the desktop and run automatically. "One click and done" is the idea.

Hello Doug,
I believe you can use Windows API functions to get the job done.
Anyway, the current forum is for Office Apps. I'd recommend asking VBA questions on the
General Office Development forum instead.

Hi Dougmeister,
I agree with Cindy that the VBA doesn't have function to achieve the goal. Also there is no function in Excel object for this requirement.
The way we can achieve the goal is that using Windows API as Cindy motioned. And here is an helpful article talking about this topic:
Office Talk: Working with VBA in the 32-bit and 64-bit Versions of Office 2010
And about Windows API issue, I would suggest that you get more effective response from
General Windows Desktop Development Issues forum.
Hope it is helpful.

Change View State Based On Screen Orientation?

I'd like my app to change layouts based on the current screen orientation. I believe this is done through view states. I have three questions...
1) How do I check the current orientation?
2) Is there an event listener that will tell me when the orientation changes?
3) How do I toggle between view states?
Thank in advance!
UPDATE: I figured out the answer to question 3...
currentState = 'yourStateName';
UPDATE II: I figured out the answer to question 1 as well. I simply used the Capabilities object to determine the screens current width & height, then compare the two. All of this is in a function that gets called when the app launches:
public function checkOrientation():void
     var screenWidth:Number = Capabilities.screenResolutionX;
     var screenHeight:Number = Capabilities.screenResolutionY;
     if (screenWidth > screenHeight) {currentState='yourStateName1';}
     else if (screenWidth < screenHeight) {currentState='yourStateName2';}
Now all I have to do is figure out how to call this function when there is an orientation change. I tried the code below but get the included error:
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, checkOrientation); // ERROR: Access of undefined property stage
Why can't access the "stage" property???

The screen orientation won't change even though it shows orientation as unlocked

the screen orientation won't change even though it shows orientation as unlocked on the bottom of the screen and when I release the side button. Any ideas?

If rotation lock is not set (i.e. there is no lock symbol next to the battery indicator at the top of the screen, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085), then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Monogame, how to stop screen orientation from changing

Hi,
I am having a really annoying problem with mono game for windows 8 phone.
The landscape keeps changing its orientation even though I have it set to landscapeleft.
Someone please put me put of my misery.
Xaml
SupportedOrientations="Landscape" Orientation="LandscapeLeft"
Game cs
graphics.SupportedOrientations = DisplayOrientation.LandscapeLeft;

Hi Smilesprower,
How about the setting on your manifest? You have to check the supported rotations.
Besides,
Supporting screen orientation is also a helpful documentation if you are using DirectX part for Mono games

Portege M700 wont change screen orientation

I installed the webcam driver for the M700 and each time I install it, I recieve the same error message:
"Webcam driver open fail - Please restart camera or computer."
I've reinstalled the drivers numerous times, and it still doesn't work.
Therefore, I tried the msconfig method, and disabled all start up processes, and then reenabled them.
The webcam displays the same error message, and now the screen wont change orientation when I swivel the screen.

Regarding the error:
*Webcam driver open fail - Please restart camera or computer*
First of all please ensure that you are using the latest BIOS version.
If not, update it.
Furthermore access the BIOS settings and set it back to the default pressing the F9 button.
Dont forget to save the changes if you would leave the BIOS.
Additionally and webcam driver update would be advisable too
Someone has posted this solution:
+Shut down your computer and restart it, go to the boot screen should be F2 or F12, There is an option at the bottom of the screen that says something like load defaults or just defaults F9 on my system, Click yes to reloading defaults and save and exit, the camera should work fine after that.+

Web page auto-zooms on orientation change in iOS 7

I had a web page that worked perfectly well until Apple came out with iOS 7 today and it broke the layout when screen orientation is changed.
Basically, when I have focus on a text area and rotate the screen to landscape view, the entire page zooms in. If focus is taken out of the text area and turned back to Portrait, things are back normal.
Rotation also works well when the text areas does not have focus.
I already have the following meta-tag in place (to ensure we block zooming):
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0;;">
Any ideas what's causing this awkward behavior?
Questions also on StackOverflow @ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18896083/auto-zoom-on-orientation-change-in-i os-7.

This is a problem many and probably all are having with iOS7 "Multitasking."
Here is probably the largest and most helpful thread about it, but it doesn't fix anything: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24582055#24582055

Tablet PC Screen Orientation

I am writing an application for MS Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and need to utilize the hardware rocker switches which come with the tablets. The problem comes when users rotate the screen. Hardware rocker switches have new directions after rotation but generate the same key codes. I guess I need to detect the orientation of the screen and adjust the reactions appropriately. Can anyone on the forum tell me how to find the screen orientation of a tables PC?
Thanks

I'm not sure, but just a thought... the screen isn't square, so does the Toolkit class return the correct screen dimensions for the screen's orientation? If it always gets the right dimensions, even when changed while the app is running, then you can infer which direction it is (if width is larger then height, it's one way, else the other)... unless you can rotate it to face all 4 sides... then that wouldn't work, I guess.
