Yesterday I was watching a movie I think I was lying down over my phone, must have pressed something. When I grabbed it the slider on the lock screen had changed, It was in a vertical orientation now, I had to slide down to unlock and slide up to set to vibrate, and all of this while in portrait mode. I dont know how this happened and I would love to know.
My device is a Huawei UM840 (Which is very similar to the U8500 which you can see the complete features HERE
Thanks!

Hi,
I need to change the orientation of the PIN keyboard from landscape to portrait. When i drive i cannot unlock the phone with one hand. My hand is big enough for the streak since since I'm 6.2" with really big hands but the way the keypad is set in the lock screen is impossible for me to do it with one hand. The numbers are way to small and sideways. I need a lock screen like the iphone. This is the only problem i have with this phone.
I have tried lockbot and some other apps but as soon as you press the home button it takes you to the home page so not much security there.
I have heard somewhere that there is a setting in some system file that has the orientation lockscreen=1 or something like that. Maybe if this is set to 0 it will change to portrait but i have no idea how to find this. If someone could look into this it would be cool.
Any ideas? Please help me with this one.
Hit the menu button, Settings, Location and Security, set up lock screen, and then click on pattern. Much easier than a pin numberand you can use one hand. Although note that you will make the pattern in portrait mode, the unlock screen is in landscape so it gets rotated.

I am also looking how to change the orientation when in portrait mode.
I would actually like to flip it. I am using a business card holder as a "dock" for my phone at work, but to plug it in, I have the cable on top. When unlocked it looks fine in landscape, but if I leave it locked, it is upside down. I'll probably just end up trying to cut a hole out of the bottom of the card holder instead, but I don't know if that will look very good, or even be useful, since the cord will make the phone sit almost a half inch higher.
This is really bugging me. I can't believe Dell let this latest 318 version go out the door with a lock screen like this. If they fixed this it would be perfect release.
Has anyone found a way to change the lock screen orientation or replace the entire screen itself to another version, something to make it easier to unlock the device?
Perfect release? Are you kidding? There is nothing even remotely CLOSE about ANY of the dell releases being perfect. Have you not read the numerous threads about all the bugs from various users...
It's barely even decent.

Am I using this app wrong or something? It lags the crap out of my device. Takes about a full two seconds to turn the screen on with it, and even then I have to wait a second or two to swipe my MIUI slider.
And god forbid I try and use the Laptop dock. If I plug my phone in with the dock, my phone sits there and I have to push the power button several times to get a response from the phone, where it promptly turns the screen off again and denies me from booting into WebTop.
I can't say I've seen that problem on my phone. How many widgets do you have on your lock screen? Have you tried running widgetlocker with only the slider to see if that resolves the issue?
I've got minimal text for time, and minimal text for the date. Then the MIUI slider. Even with just the slider, it lags like crazy.
Never had a problem. Just hit my unlock, then my back arrow and zero lag to my homescreen. Try the back button option over the slider. Maybe the slider is causing the lag.
EDIT: Just added the Miui slider and still no lag. Not sure what you have going on, sorry.
Hello guys, I got this new unit and I already tried to calibrate/ check auto rotate option in settings.
Should my home screen rotate while i move my phone horizontally and/or vertically.
My icons are always in vertical mode.
If i go to gallery and choose picture i taken with the cell it rotates fine.
But if I go into internet browser ( the default one ) it takes like 4-5 tries shakes and moves my phone so it finally works <== this also seems odd shouldn't this works like faster or on first try ????
//Edit: needless to say , factory stock on everything nothing installed apart from opera mini and skype.
Everything else is default out of the box.
But my main question is shouldn't home screen follow my phone movement?
no, custom roms do though, like cm7
So no home screen/icons on it will follow if I place my phone in landscape mode hmm. Also what about the locked screen ( default one ) with the clock on it. Should that move? or same like home screen its only vertical.
Also I find my sensor in apps ( any app for that matter) to be really slow or unresponsive :S You need to move your phone in all directions like good 40-50secs or even more for it to switch into landscape mode :S
If anyone cares I re-calibrated the sensor but this time NOT on flat surface but in my hand the best I can and matched my movements so I works the best like im holding it in every day use.
Fixed my slow-ness or non-responsiveness about landscape / vertical switching.

Hey
Since ics, multiple one touch lock screen widgets dont work properly. The led will flash and the it goes to the lock screen and times out with some, and with others it stays on a very low ambient type mode. Any one else? Any suggestions, i love one touch to lock the screen, damn first world problems

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The widgets support ics?
fixed
I just turned off the lock screen, hardly needed since there are only soft buttons on the front of the device, and it's unlikely the power button would be accidentally pressed in one's pocket. Then i used a cool app called screen off and lock, it even has crt effect.
the subject covers the problem, this happend after mm installed.. was a direct push from sony...
found a couple of threads about turning phone off, then docking then turning phone on. then undock. well now my lock screen goes into landscape kinda nice, but when i swipe up to unlock home screen is in portrait mode. would prefer home screen in landscape while charging. managed to find a app that forces it to work, but does not compress the home screen like the stock lolipop 5.2.1 i think it was, did.
beers
Yeah. This update (570) is as bad as the 5.0.2 build that came without X-Reality. No auto rotation, some sound enhacement features are missing and much more things that keep me from using Marshmallow for more than a full day.
Gee, I thought I was the only one having this issue. Yeah, it's so bad. Even on Facebook when I try to livestream while charging on dock, it's still in Portrait mode.
