Car mode orientation - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Is there a way to flip the car mode orientation? I can't find it. I would rather have my phone the other way, to get the cords out of my immediate view.
Both vlingo and HTC car mode auto orient to landscape, with the 'bottom' on the natural left side of the phone.
Thanks

Set orientation will be your best friend. I even use it to play temple run in landscape mode.

Thx! I downloaded it and so far so good. I've been looking for something like this since I purchased my EVO LTE. Quick question... How is this app on the phone battery? Have you noticed any big drains on your battery? I hope not...

Nope it hasn't effected my battery life. It only keeps that persistent notification so that Sense doesn't go and kill it. I personally disable it when I know I won't be using it for awhile only because I try to save as much memory as possible and because it's not the best looking icon to have on my screen haha.

some apps shrinking to half screen size

I noticed that certain apps such as "taxi magic" and "radar now" shrink when opened and only fill a little over half of the screen. It makes it really hard to use the app. These are apps that filled the whole screen on my evo 4g. Is this because of the screen dimensions of the 3d? anyone else having the issue or know how to fix?
Download Spare Parts from the market and uncheck compatability mode, reboot.

xiia live lite does it on mine. that is the only one so far. might try spare parts. i noticed the weather won't show the first digit if it goes up to 3 digit temps on lock screen. i saw this on the evo 4g roms but thought if was because the screen is different. didn't expect to see it on my 3d
Thank you... This has been driving me nutz!

There's two apps called Spare Parts in the Market and both are from different developers. Is there a difference between them?

Does anybody use this app? If so, has anyone noticed a bad lag when using it to download videos, especially when dragging down the status bar?
Been using it for a while now. Haven't noticed any lag but I usually don't pay too much attention. Gonna D/L something now.

Cool, let me know.
The only thing that really lags is when I try to pull down the notification bar when it's downloading. Scrolling through the home screens seems fine.

Well I just download about 10 different videos over 3G, 4G & Wifi. Didn't see any lag when pulling down the notification bar or the phone in general. Maybe you need to do a restart maybe? Sorry I couldn't re-create the problem you are having.

Still having the problem even after rebooting, uninstalling and reinstalling. Is there any advantage JetVD has over TubeMate?
So uninstalled JetVD, installed TubeMate and downloaded a Youtube file without any lag. I like JetVD's interface a lot better but I can't deal with the notification bar freezing up so I guess I'll keep TubeMate unless there's a better option.
I've been using FreeDi Youtube Downloader since I got my OG Evo 4G and I've loved it. Now continue to use it flawlessly on the Evo 3D.
I prefer to get vd slow, I would not like it jet fast

App screen size?

Some apps are not normal size, they are very small when opened, so I was just wondering if anyone had that problem with some apps?

Yup. They need to update their apps.

Is there no app that can resize for you?

You're not alone. Some apps can be made to fit the screen by installing spare parts and unchecking the compatible mode.
Thanks a lot this worked on like half my apps

Evo lte and fast typing

Anyone notice that the HTC evo lte can't keep up with fast typing? For example when you type real fast the words get all jumbled and the vibration feedback stutters. Never had this problem on og evo.

I had the same problem... I switched back to SwiftKey and the problem was solved!
Try a different keyboard maybe? Swiftkey is the absolute best available, and I would recommend it even to someone who wasn't having any issues.
Haven't had this issue, it might be your keyboard. Had the issue with the sensation and stock ICS keyboard.
The only time I ever experienced that was when I had the sound/clicks turned on. But even then it wasn't often. Since turned off and NO LAG HERE!
I have used a few different keyboards, but with all sounds, vibration, dictionaries and corrections disabled and don't have any problem on any normal things. Ie most apps.
But, typing into most web forms IS very slow and buggy, with any keyboard and with at least both the stock and dolphin hd browsers. One particularly annoying bug is that once you've typed a line or so, and try to position the cursor back in the middle to make an edit, the spot where text will be erased or added is nowhere near where the cursor is. And it's very slow & laggy. That's most blogs and article comment things.
Typing this into xda premium app is no problem.

Flawless here with SwiftKey. Typing on Chrome when it first starts sometimes lags a tiny bit but nowhere else. Matter of fact I'm typing so fast right now most of these words sfs care misspelled, SwiftKey just knows me too good <3
I even have haptic feedback on (albeit at very small vibration) but I like it that low because it makes the letters feel "fuzzy".

I shouldn't have to turn off sounds and haptic to resolve this. Never had the problem with og evo. This is definitely an issue for me.

It's all about that SwiftKey...never had that prob with it before.
I'm a long time SwiftKey fan, but I have to say I do like the Swype beta a lot. Don't like the keypad layouts as much and not being able to back Swype to delete a word makes me sad, but I can be really fast and accurate with this thing.

I get quite a bit of lag when I type in landscape mode in the stock Web browser. This is with SwiftKey.

Homescren landscape mode in dock, why not without?

When I place the device in the factory desktop dock, the homescreen rotates into landscape mode. Is there no way to do this when not docked? Clearly the phone is capable. Stock and unrooted...unfortunately.

There is an app in the Play Store that will make it go to landscape. Can't think of the name right now but I will post it if I think of it.

Yeah I can't remember the name but it was discussed in themes and apps at one point
It's called "ultimate rotation control". Works great on the stock device.
