Hey, guys! I've just been wondering if any of you other guys have been getting the same odd behavior as me with the latest stock ATT FUZE ROM.
It deals with the phone display switching between portrait and landscape orientation when you flip out the keyboard. For some reason, the Windows taskbar appears every time I flick out the keyboard to type something while using full screen apps such as YouTube. It irritates me because all the other ROMs I've tried don't exhibit this issue. I can make it disappear by tapping the Start menu and exiting it, but having to do that every time I flick the keyboard out and flicking it back in is quite annoying. I was wondering if any of you know how I could disable this behavior.
It appears that any orientation switching without flicking out the keyboard (ex. Opera rotating using the accelerometer) doesn't make the taskbar pop out, but switching between portrait and landscape with the keyboard always triggers the taskbar to pop out in full screen apps. Again, it's easy enough to just tap the Start menu and exit out again to make the taskbar disappear, but I would LOVE to just have it not appear altogether, like all the other builds of WM that I've been using.
Anyone out there that can duplicate the issue I'm having? Furthermorem anyone know how I can remove the behavior?

Can someone please help me tweak the setting which makes the screen rotate from landscape to portrait when the screen gets slid back over the keyboard.
I have a hardware button mapped to rotate the screen. I often use the unit in landscape and when doing so I occasionally want access to the keyboard. So I slide the screen up, type whatever I want to type, then slide it back. It's very annoying that doing so forces the screen back to portrait.
The behaviour I want is this:
[When in portrait] sliding open causes rotation to landscape.
[When in landscape] sliding open changes nothing.
[When in landscape] sliding closed changes nothing (currently it causes rotation to portrait).
1 & 2 are the default behaviours. Is it possible to keep them and add 3?
POSTED IN THE WRONG FORUM SORRY
it's very annoying, i know. it doesn't only happen with the keyboard application, but also with the camera application. someone has suggested that the software for the Wizard was written by highly trained monkeys. i believe (s)he's right.
I've noticed that when I'm using the on-screen virtual keyboard in landscape mode, with the phone held either straight up and down or overhead (when lying on my back), pressing some of the keys on the far left side pull down the status bar rather than giving me the letter, character, etc. that I'm pressing. Instead, they cause the status bar to drop down and display status messages.
The most common letter at fault is A. The shift key also does this sometimes.
I have to tilt the phone such that the display is pointing slightly upwards rather than being straight on in order to get the A key to work.
It happens when composing SMS messages, Facebook entries, forum entries via any web browser (stock, Dolphin, Boat, Miren): any time i'm using the soft keyboard in landscape mode with the phone held perpendicular to the floor or tilted so the display is facing slightly downward.
I first noticed this on my Samsung Galaxy Ace when it still had the stock Froyo on it, and I got the same problems with stock Gingerbread, CodeROM, VillainROM and others. Now I own a Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro with its stock Gingerbread and I have the same problem on it, so it seems to be a generic Android issue, but ?? Is anyone else having this issue?
With stock ICS, I am bad at typing messages with the vertical keyboard, so I always have to turn it first so that the large keyboard appears (and sometimes it takes a while for it to register). I was wondering if there is a setting for it to automatically always select the horizontal way whenever possible...or perhaps there is an app out there or a way for it to register much faster.
Use holo launcher hd plus or any launcher in the launcher settings there is always an option default orientation change it to landscape then u can have a permanent landscape view not sure abt the option being there in touchwiz havent used it in a long time

I use Set Orientation from gPlay, allows you to set (and force any app into, even it doesn't want to support) the orientation you want directly from the notification area.
Maybe that'll help you too.
I get this randomly. It seems to happen the most when I have SwiftKey open and it always happens when I search within the app drawer. I switched launchers (tried lawn chair and rootless pixel) and I see the same thing.
The buttons are there, I can click them but they just vanish and it looks horrible.
Pic attached.
I guess I should also say that enabling full screen gestures works around this but that has its own set of problems for me, namely that I keep missing the space bar when using the keyboard and that the back gesture doesn't scale up from the keyboard so I keep going back when swiping.
Edit: I've confirmed that the problem is Swiftkey. The default Google keyboard doesn't have this problem but it isn't nearly as good. It'll do for now I guess...
I have the same issue. I tried installing navbar apps, but it doesn't work. Is there any way to set gboard to add a space automatically after a period or a comma? One of the many tine differences I prefer SwiftKey over Gboard, but this navbar bug is making me make the switch.
Anyone else having trouble with gesture navigation when using full screen apps?
Sometimes when I start a video on YouTube in full screen mode, switch temporarily to a messaging app and then come back to the video, the gesture navigation is all messed up. Lower part (short side of the phone) of the screen doesn't register touch so I can't get out of full screen in YouTube and the thin white bar is not where it should be on the longer side (which is now supposed to be the bottom), but instead it is on the short side which should also be my "back" gesture now.
This is very annoying as trying to swipe 'back' now gets me to the home screen and I am unable to hit three dots or the full screen button in YouTube.
I am not using auto-rotate, but I am using Sony Side sense and obviously gestures to navigate. Rotating the phone 180 degrees and back seems to fix it. It's like the phone forgets how it should be oriented when I switch between an app that is in portrait mode and landscape mode
Anyone else out there with these kind of issues or am I alone with this?
I've also experienced this and have found no fix. If I go to recent apps and re-enter the app from there a couple times, it fixes itself but that's all I've found.
