Hi guys,

Does anyone know of a way of being able to type sms in landscape mode as a default.

i.e. if i choose to type an sms the phone switches to landscape until it's sent and then flips back to portrait.

I prefer typing in landscape but so far i have had to map the hardware key to rotate the screen and have to press this before typing an sms

Just wondering if there is a more elegant method.

TIA

Hi,
I was wondering if you have found an answer for that. I'm looking to be able to do that too. Please let me know. So far, I was looking into the registry cause I guessed that we just create a key or something and it would work..or maybe not...and I have found two values for the Camera within the registry so I am sure that it would be possible to do that for the SMS and Browser as well.

I will keep on searching and let you know.

I know this isn't the ideal way of doing it. But until someone smart enough figures out the registry entry for this idea...you can youse wisbar advanced 3, it has a setting that lets you set certain programs to rotate... hope this helps until someone figures it out!

Thanks I have tried that but I didn't like it. The app took over all my settings and I would prefer just to add or change a reg key then to install another software.

Thanks again and hope to have the perfect solution for that one day...:)
