landscape

[darkchild]

is there any other third party apllication that supports GREAT landscpae mode for my Axim?

Nyditiot Virtual Display is supposed to be one of the best... haven't tried the full version myself, but there is a light version with Pocketop keyboard, and that one works great om my Axim.

No matter which one you try, you'll always have to make soft resets when rotating the screen, it's a Microsoft thing :blink:

Just a warning of sorts. I use the Pocketop rotation and ran into an issue one time. I use the simple 4-digit security (until I buy something better) and one time shut the Axim (could be any pda though) off while in landscape mode. When I turned it back on again, I couldn't tap the 7-9,0 buttons because they were off the screen. Had to do a hard reset.

So, if you use the landscape mode much and the security, have your 4-digits in the 1-6 range.

alot of times if you just tap where the buttons should be, you will log in like normal. Sometimes you cant see them, but, they are there.

I tried and tried (I hate to hard reset) and never could get it to work. It only happened once, I changed my password since.

Kind of one of those freak things that only happen with the right circumstances.

Ya, it has happened to me before (and I had to hard reset) but, a lot of the time that happens to me, when I press the area where it "should" have been it works.

Great tip on the password!

Ya, that used to frustrate me so much. Finaly I just tapped where I knew it should be. Usually it works, sometimes it doesnt.

Later!
