Nokia N95

Hi!

When playing games or doing anything that requires more keys, it would be great to be able to use the numeric keys while the screen are rotated, so you can hold the phone sideways. But as you know, the screen will rotate back to normal when you slide out the numeric keys.

The only way I found to do this is to connect a bluetooth keyboard, and press F8 or F7 to rotate the display as I wish when the slider is in the wanted position.

I suppose that there are some software available for this that can adjust the rotation of the display, but I havn't found anything.

Do anyone know of a way to do this?

Thanks!

I listen If you slide just a part or the nomeric keypad the screen stays in landscape mode...

It's a little tricky, but works...

It's somewhere between not easy and impossible to use the upper keys (1,2,3) while doing this, and while gaming it is not so easy to take care of not sliding the last 0.25 mm, but it may be useful if it is enough to use the rest of the keys :)

If only the phone had built in F7 and F8 keys ;)

I guess it would be easy enough to create a symbian application which will do the job, and maybe even map up some hardware keys on the phone for it too (when you know how to program any symbian at all, that is).

This is exactly what I have been trying to do...no solution I suppose

Haven't tried this but give it a whirl...

rotateMe freeware for Symbian phone, SymbianOS s60, s80, UIQ free downloads.

It says it's freeware...but apparently it needs to be signed. I don't know how to do that.

try setting your date back a year before installing then back again afterwards... there's a way of signing it yourself but takes about half an hour... do a search on the forums for symbiansigned

The web browser has an option in the options menu called "Rotate screen" which does this. However, this is the only built-in app I've seen so far with such an option.

I got it installed ... but it doesn't work on the N95...that really sucks...ahh the misery continues...this app is the missing piece to my puzzle.
