Spectre X360 Screen rotation

Hi, I recently bought spectre X360 with windows 10, but the screen rotation is not working in tent and tablet mode.I have been trying to get a solution for this in display settings but Lock rotation of this display is ON and disabled. Therefore I cant even change it. Please let me know how to enable screen rotation. 

I bought this laptop about 3 weeks ago. When running windows 8.1 the screen did rotate into portrait mode when turned, but only when the laptop was in the tablet formfactor. As long as the keyboard was still on, it would only flip 180 and not got into portrait mode.  Now that i am on win 10 i have the same issue as the OP. I applied the registry setting and the screen does rotate, but it does it in laptop and tablet mode (i am speaking of the physical mode, not the win 10 tablet mode). I dont like that it does it in laptop mode, but its better than nothing. I would like to see an official fix that also ungreyed the option as well.

    Screen doesn't rotate when help in portrait or when put into tablet mode

    Hello,
    HP Support seems not to car about its custommers, so i found a soltuion by myself,
    the real settings of screen rotation are on the control panel, please try to find them there, there a box to check/tick, it says "rotate screen automatically" or something like this, once done, the button on the actions center will be able to click on, if you still didn't find it, let me know so I can give you direct location. i'm not on my spectre now.

  • HP Spectre x360 Battery Life/Screen Rotation/

    I bought the HP Spectre x360 (Intel Core i5, 256 GB) and the battery life is just horrible. I use it for about 30 minutes and already 10% is gone. I read reviews on this and saw it would give 12.5 hours. I expected it to be about 9-10 hours but im only getting half of that. Also, after I upgraded to Windows 10, my screeens don't rotate when I'm in tablet mode. Help?

    Ahmed and others, without doing too much digging, it appears that screen rotation in Windows 10, by default, can be enabled only in tablet mode. To get to tablet mode, open up the action centre, and the top left icon/button at the bottom of the screen is "Tablet mode". If it is a dark grey, then it is disabled. If you press it, it becomes a lighter grey and is enabled (you will also see a few different features in your taskbar). Once in tablet mode, you should be able to rotate the screen and Windows will correctly rotate the display for you. It does not seem to be as quick as it was in Windows 8.1. If it is not rotating, then try pressing the button labelled "Rotation lock" in the action centre. Hope that helps! On the battery side of things, I am getting decent hours out of my i7 model with the FHD screen. I can spend a day at work (school teacher) and come home with between 40 and 60% available. This would be after a good 5-6 hours of periodic use, sleeping in between, using the HP recommended power settings.

  • Spectre x360 with Windows 10 issues

    I just got the Spectre x360 today (8/6/15). It has Windows 10 preinstalled, yet the option to rotate the screen in all of its positions is greyed out - I've seen the post about altering the registry and that kind of works. I have to say I am a bit taken back by how much work I've had to put into configuring this computer! I guess maybe its Windows 10, but I can't even seem to get Windows Live Mail (which I had to install because the new mail program doesn't let you leave copies of messages on the server?) to work. Apparently there is a conflict with Live Mail and the Intel Graphics drivers? All I know is I've spent close to 10 hours trying to get this thing to a point I can hand it to my techno-challenged boss, and from what I can see I have a long way to go... Seriously thinking that for the top dollar we paid for this, it should perform as advertised (rotate screen when closed and be able to use the touch keyboard in tablet mode). Mine sure doesn't. So if anyone has suggestions for the following, I would be very grateful...
    Greyed out option for screen rotation and it is in the screen locked position.
    Touch keyboard icon in lower right on the taskbar disappears when you enter tablet mode, making it impossible to type in any programs/windows. Even if you have the touch keyboard open and you enter laptop mode, it disappears.
    Settings that I have applied revert back to default settings after restart. Example: I have configured my touchpad so that tapping is deactivated, but when my computer restarts, tapping is active.
    I am really frustrated.

  • HP Spectre x360 13-4002dx active pen and other issues

    Hi, I'm havng issues with my active pen, but wasn't sure if it's an issue with my laptop or stylus (or if it's a software/driver issue). Is there an easy way to tell?Also, I've been using my laptop for a month now, and recently have had other issues, listed below. I wrote them down below in case that could provide some information, and/or if those issues are something I should be concerned about and should try to fix. To begin with, after doing some research, I bought a Synaptic active stylus (the Dell one), which worked very well for the first two weeks until last week. All of a sudden, it started to respond very awkward and randomly, sometimes it's too sensitive and draw lines even when the pen was off the screen, and sometimes it didn't draw anything at all even though I see the small circle following my pen tip. I initially thought it was due to low battery, but it's the same issue after I replaced the battery. Right now, the laptop doesn't respond to pen touching the screen (no clicks, no writings), although the pointer follows the pen. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? How do I know if it's the pen that is faulty or if it's the laptop? Other issues I had or am having:1. Today, I had a BAD_POOL_HEADER error and blue screen of death. After reboot, everything seems to still work, but the login is now much slower. It's very fast to reach to the login screen, but it takes 2-3 minutes to bring up the desktop and other startup applications after I enter my password (I think it used to take less than 10 seconds). I tried rebooting 2-3 times, and it was always the same. 2. The laptop seems to gain heat very easily. With moderate workload (example, some websites with flash advertisements or videos), it can easily go above 70 degrees Celsius on either core (according to CPUID HWMonitor). One time, the system actually failed and forced hibernated due to overheating. (To me, the screen went blank all of a sudden. I turn the laptop back on, and the screen printed a message for a while saying it forced shutdown due to overheating. I realized it was hibernation after I logged in since I see all my windows) 3. On the second day of use of this laptop, the laptop just shutdown for no good reason, and then couldn't boot, saying it cannot find boot image or something like that. I looked up the web and found that it could be a BIOS issue. It said to try reseting the BIOS setting, and then it worked. I also upgraded the BIOS image to the latest after this incident. 4. This is probably more a router issue, but I initially had problems connecting wireless to my router. It was solved after changing my router. For those who are interested, the details is as the following: my old router supported up to 802.11n , but not 802.11ac, That shouldn't matter, but all wireless connections get disconnected once in every several hours if my HP Spectre x360 is trying to use the wireless. However the wired connections stayed ok when this happens, so the router is only "partially" killed. The fact that all wireless connections are getting killed seemed to me that the router didn't like something from my HP laptop. To be fair, I didn't try not using my HP laptop to see if the issue goes away, so it could be  a coincidence that the router started to go faulty at the same time I bought and used my HP laptop. Anyways, it seemed it's a router issue, so after replacing the router. the issue went away. Thanks. 

    Will investigate and let you know what I can find out.

  • A few questions before buying a spectre x360

    Hi I'm considering buying a 13" Spextre x360 once Win10 arrives in final version -  but have a few questions before going ahead. Mostly looking into the 4041no (i'm from Denmark) - or similar configuration. I need a configuration with at least 500 GB of hard drive and 8 GBs of RAM.  1. Will the spectre support all the new windows 10 touchpad gestures (similar to OS X/Mac gestures)? I have read something about the touch pad on the not being a "precision touchpad" but instead being run by synoptic drivers or something. Don't know exactly what it means. I come from a Mocbook Pro - and these gestures are so good.  2. One of the things some talk about in reviews is heat - that the x360 gets very hot to hold. Even just browsing the web. And also fan noise being loud. Any experience here - is it just a few unfortunate buyers, or are any of these issues generic. 3. Browsing the web there are so many different model numbers, that i can't keep up - and some of them seem to be identical configurations. Is there any overview of what is what. For instance 4041no and 4040no seem identical - but there is a difference in price, at the stores i have seen online. Similarly there is a 4030no and a 4032no. What are all these models. different numbers for every store/country/????. Any help here.. 4. The 4041no model i'm looking into has this QHD screen. Very high resolution. How is that in everyday life for surfing the web (mostly Chrome), Photoshop, watching movies local/streaming and more. It seems that everything will be very small, or is there scaling options or other stuff that makes this high resolution usable in real life. Or maybe lower the resoltion in settings. Any experience? I will soon try to find one in a real store to try out if possible. Think i'll start with those questions :-) And maybe also some generel feedback on the spectre x360. Thanks /Jonas  

    Hi Jonas,
    I have the 4014 model (core i7, 256gb ssd, 8gb ram and FHD screen) so I can answer some but not all of your questions.
    1. Touchpad is responsive and easy to use for me. Just upgraded to windows 10 and multi touch gestures are working fine. Three finger tap to open search, four finger tap to open the quick settings panel. Three finger flicks do app switching and minimising. The pad is controlled by the synaptic driver, but it has quite a few options and seems to work well for me.
    2. Heat is not an issue for me. Sure, it gets warm when running intensive tasks, but as long as you are not pushing the cpu for long periods of time, it will be fine on your lap. Browsing the web, the fan will come on briefly when I load 10 or more tabs at a time, otherwise the fan will remain off.
    Being an aluminium chassis, it has the ability to transfer heat out of the shell more easily than a plastic laptop, so you might notice it getting warm quicker, but it also cools down fast.
    The fan is no louder than any other laptop I have used.
    3. Can't help you with model numbers, sorry.
    4. I'm finding that a lot of applications do not scale correctly on my FHD screen, so I can imagine that the QHD would be the same or worse. Most of the time, you can get the applications to look better by turning off display scaling in the compatibility settings. Sometimes this means that the application then looks smaller on screen, though text, images and icons are sharp, they are harder to read. The QHD would make these apps even smaller. I do not think QHD is worth it on a small screen for this reason.
    In general the laptop works well. I use it in my job as a teacher, and being able to convert from laptop to tablet is a huge benefit. It is super fast to start up and easily gets me through a school day (quite often getting home with more than half a charge). I will just close the lid between uses and it sleeps, drawing very little power. It is capable of running Photoshop and office apps, while browsing the web and doing some light duty CAD modeling on the side.
    One small issue that I and a few others have had is a crackling, buzzing noise due to the processor power regulation. Only audible in really quiet rooms or when putting an ear close to the device, when the computer is idling. Not an issue for everyday use, but something to be aware of if you have sensitive hearing or are annoyed by slight imperfections.
    Hope that answers a few of your questions.

  • Hp Active Pen Spectre x360

    I just purchase a HP Spectre x360 and the HP Active pen from Best Buy.  Great laptop but I have noticed that I need to press VERY hard before the pen responds. If I don't press hard, then pen strokes appear very light.   When I cross H's or T's the cross doesn't register.   If i put the laptop in Tablet mode, then I can get the letters to appear as expected.  But when Writing on the screen in regular "laptop" mode or "Tent mode", the letters appear as "chicken" scratch I didn't find any settings for adjusting the Pen's Sensitivity in windows or one note. I would prefer that the pen behave more like a finger.  Just more precise.

    I'm positive the x360 supports HP Active Pen.  I am using the HP Active pen on my Spectre x360 right now.The problem is that it's not as sensitive as I want it to be.I was hoping for an experience similar to the Surface Pro, however I am noticing that I have to press hard to see all of the pen strokes. "hard" in this case means the point right before the Spectre Screen begins to flex.  If I apply any more pressure to the Pen, I can see the screen flexing.  I know the screen is durable, but I don't like pressing that hard on my monitor. HP Sepctre x360 has a Synaptics Active Digitzer, which means Surface Pro Pen will not work on it.  The only other synaptics pen on the market is the Dell Active Stylus. Does HP really want me to go to the competitor for a solution on their flagship product?

  • HP Spectre x360 - 13-4005dx BIOS update

    Just recently installed Windows 10 on my 2-in-1; great OS update! But I notice that there is newer BIOS listed when I check at the HP support Web site for updates. But this newer BIOS does not appear when I run the HP Support Assistant. I'm interested in this newer BIOS as the stated improvement is to enable auto-detection of tablet mode. Right now I have to click the screen for tablet mode. Is it okay to install this latest BIOS for my HP Spectre x360 - 13-4005dx?

  • Screen Rotation not working

    I have upgraded my laptop from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.  Since upgrading the Screen rotation function is no longer available or working.    When checking in the property  part the following message is displayed. no Pen or touch input available for this display?

  • Screen rotation doesn't work on Dell Venue 11 Pro

    I'm running Windows Technical Preview for Enterprise Build 9879 on a Dell Venue 11 Pro. It has the Intel Core-i5-4300Y processor and Intel HD graphics chipset.
    All devices are recognized in Device Manager, but the screen does not rotate if I turn the tablet.
    Is anyone else having issues with screen rotation?

    I have Dell venue 11 pro 5130 version with the atom processor. And I think my tech preview just updated to the 9879 Build... I have only had tech preview installed less than a week. 
    The previous build I had (and I have no idea what the build was) Did rotate the screen just fine, but now I have to manually toggle the orientation.

  • HT4085 So does this mean that I cannot have rotation lock off and the mute function off at the same time? In other words, can I have my screen rotate automatically as I hold my iPad in either portrait or landscape AND hear sounds from my apps at the same

    So does this mean that I cannot have rotation lock off and the mute function off at the same time? In other words, can I have my screen rotate automatically as I hold my iPad in either portrait or landscape AND hear sounds from my apps at the same time?

    In other words, can I have my screen rotate automatically as I hold my iPad in either portrait or landscape AND hear sounds from my apps at the same time?
    Yes, you can. You can configure the Side Switch (above the volume button) either as Mute switch or Rotation lock.
    Settings > General > Use Side Switch to: choose what you like the Side Switch to function as.

  • IPhone 5, Is there a way to stop screen rotation for specific apps?

    The automatic screen rotation feature is useful - sometimes, and just plain annoying other times.  I prefer to read my e-mail in portrait mode, however the slightest movement or rotation while doing so will cause the screen to rotate (with the phone generally still in portrait position).  I then have to shake the phone to get it to rotate back.  This is very annoying.
    I would like to be able to lock the screen rotation for only a single app (e.g. mail) while still keeping it active for the camera, or videos.  Many of the book programs that I use, have this feature built-in, however this question is for apps that do not have this built-in.
    The built in rotation lock is all-or-nothing, and is generally a pain to use.  It adds another step to just about everything I do (If I read mail, then want to view a video, I have to go back and unlock it).
    Is there a way to lock the screen rotation for a specific app?

    I would have expected this function to be available in settings where the application specific settings are located.  (At least for the major applications like e-mail).

  • What's going on with ios8... Screen rotate does not work anymore, wifi doesn't work very well anymore and apps are crashing or running slow... Come on Apple sort this mess out

    ssince I updated my iPhone 5s to ios8 ive had nothing but problems...
    first the the screen rotation is not working... Checked the settings and  lock is off.... The wifi is intermittent, some times it works sometimes it doesn't....
    the he iPhone is really slow now, like really labouring.... It hangs and crashes all the time.... I have to close apps down completely because they won't work from quick launch anymore.... Even writing this the phone is labouring.... It's like my old 48k spectrum.... I don't expect this from Apple and when you spend £400-500 on a phone you expect it to work and play propperly....  come on Apple you need to sort out this mess of a update.... Ios 7 was no bother......

    Same issue here... iphone5S 64GB.  It's intermittent.  Sometimes the rotation works fine, sometimes it doesn't, but most of the time it doesn't work.
    The first time I figured out it wasn't working was when all newly-taken photos and videos were showing up in portrait mode though I always hold in landscape mode when photographing.
    Rotation lock is disabled (tried toggling it on and off).  Tried recalibrating the compass on a whim, no effect (although my compass seems to always require calibration when it's launched now).
    This issue only started happening after upgrading to iOS8.  I did a reset/restore through iTunes rather than an OTA upgrade.
    UPDATE - power-cycling the phone seems to fix it temporarily.

  • After updating to iOS 8.3, seem like the wifi signal got worst. The screen rotation is still as bad

    sseem like the updates which were pushed didn't do any much hel, the wifi signal was even weaker than before, at times I will be totally disconnected from my home wifi.
    And the screen rotation... i don't see any difference to it.

    Mine won't even rotate now. So I have not scientific calculator. Apple support recommends backup and restore.
    If the screen doesn't rotate on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    iOS software used to be so bullet proof, but iOS 8 is a dog. It's like working with windows. I wish I could downgrade. My wife's phone is at iOS 6 and I'm leaving it there. it works better than mine.

  • How to mute and lock screen rotation at the same time? Loved this feature in iOS 5.

    How to mute and lock screen rotation at the same time? Loved this feature in iOS 5.

    You cannot do two different simultaneous VISA writes over a serial bus. There is a single rx line on the pc's com port and a single rx line on the instrument. You only hope is if the instrument allows you to chain commands and the reception of the carriage return triggers the instrument to implement both at the same time. Maybe you can send CTS01 and CTS02 separated by a space or comma. The manual should tell you if that's possible or maybe you need to ask the manufacturer.

Maybe you are looking for
