Text disapears when rotating to landscape - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

When I'm trying to use PocketIE and I open up the keyboard (faster to type in)...I'm unable to read the text at the URL line or in the search box...but if I close the keyboard...then everything shows back up...
help?!?

same problem
Ihave the same problem. It is not universal, but it does happen in the google search box and a few other places as well. I had the same problem with a jade dialpad in that all that I saw was the white background and not writing. I am running the official 6.1 rom

Do not enable cleartype in landscape mode in any Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM based on the HTC official, they did changes to the video driver and it not longer works.
Just use Kaisertweak to disable cleartype in landscape mode.

I used Advanced Configuration Tool.
You can get it from:
http://julien.schapman.free.fr/touchxperience/advanced-configuration-tool.php
Install it and run it.
On the bottom right select "Menu"...then "More Settings"...then "ClearType"
Make sure that the "Enable ClearType on screen rotation" is turned OFF.
Click the OK at the BOTTOM LEFT of the screen...Followed by DONE.
It will ask you to soft-reset...select YES.
That's it.

Bah.. I just had my UK Vario III back from repair and it came with 6.1 (which oddly enough is still not available as an official update on the T-mob site). I wondered WTF I'd installed that had broken it :-/
No cleartype in landscape is pretty poor. I might need to think about flash another rom after all!

edit: nice version thank you sir
edit2: I agree with everything you state in post 3.
ok, this one definitely feels good! quicker, feels more stable with certain websites that weren't as stable with the previous builds, and the animations seems much smoother. I still couldnt get f7 to work properly with youtube websites(kept freezing) But overall it seems of an upgrade!
I'm having the same issue I had with the last version posted and that is Opera will hang at the launch / splash screen and I can not kill the processes either, however I can still use the phone and launch other apps, but the splash screen stays on top. I have to soft reset to get back to normal.

its either the rom your using or its conflicting with another software.
So far this version seems like a definite improvement - the biggest being that I can now use the 'automatic full screen' option without it changing to full screen half way through typing an address on my Kaiser keyboard!
Haven't come across any bugs as yet.
initial testing shows:
- overall speed/feel increase
- addressbar doesn't auto-hide when typing w/ hardkeys in auto-minimize mode
bug: after closing out of opera in landscape mode, left my tilt in left-handed landscape mode. had to go to settings->system->display to bring it back into portrait mode.
Testing on June 29 ryncppr v6, 1.58.25.17 radio, hardspl 3.56
Bug: When using the hardware keyboard to fill in fields on a webpage, the field that is being typed in sometimes looses focus after each letter is selected on the keyboard. If the software keyboard is used, the problem does not occur.
With 8.65, i could copy the opera6 adr file that i have saved on my sd card and paste it into the opera folder to import my bookmarks after flashing, etc. This doesn't seem to work with opera 9. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Build 1184 vs 1409
In Build 1184 when I pressed an internet link in an email Opera 9.5 would load the page not PIE. With build 140p, PIE loads the page and not Opera Mobile. I have looked in the settings etc and can not find a way to make Opera Mobile my "default browser" Is this possible? If so how?
i'm still getting the missing address bar when typing on the kaiser keyboard. im still using wm6. anyone else still has the problem?

I am using the Titan with windows mobile six and am also having this problem with opera mobile 9.5. Anybody with a fixed build?
Yup - my vario III on standard rom does this - I can only type one letter in from the keyboard before the focus is lost. Also it's not running as the default browser and there is no option to set this :-(
Looks lovely though....
Default Browser key:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/: DEFBROWSER/1
Note: the above key is "colon and capital 'D' together" but the board makes it into a grin icon. lol
by default, it should be ":MSPIE", you can change it to the location of OperaL.exe, generally "\windows\operal.exe"
Bug: RSSHub is no longer able to open a link, it gives the error "file http://.... cannot be opened"
Fix: RSSHub seems to be connected to pocket ie. you will need to reset all registry references back to pocket ie and THEN apply the default browser registry hack. ( soft reset after all that )

Registry change worked like a champ. Opera Build 1409 now opens when I select a link in an email. Thanks a Bunch!!! Sorry I can't help with the RSSHub issue.
Dissapearing Address Bar
I am using WM 6.1 (one of Duttys hybrid ROMs) and still ahve the issue with the sddress bar dissapearing before I am finished typing.
I still believe it may be related to Opera not recognizing the pull out (hard) keyboard, or perhaps it is related to the Diamond XT9 keyboard in my ROM....
Any info. appreciated!

VITO SMS-Chat 1.1 landscape

hi i purchased vito sms chat and have had a problem with the typing in landscape mode, its not there. it doesnt appear in the text box until after it is sent. I had this issue in both wm6 and wm6.1 and have searched it for weeks and havent been able to find a solution, i tried disabling cleartype landscape and many other things but nothing seems to work. Can anyone point me in the right direction or has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks in advance,
Fjc3
I've downloaded and tried the SMS-Chat, I think the problem is not the software but the WM6.1 have issue with displaying typed clear type text in landscape...
Vito's FunContact also does not work when you try to create/edit a contact and entered any text in landscape mode, texts simply would not show up untill you flip your screen back to vertical orientation...
I've sent a message to the tech support at VITO maybe they can give me an answer.
Unless the SMS-Chat have option to disable cleartype in landscape, it is not useable when typing in landscape mode using either QWERT keyboard or onscreen keyboard.

thanks for the reply, lets hope VITO can give us a solution!
I highly doubt Vito can give a solution other than revert back to 6.0 or just turn off cleartype in landscape.
6.1 doesn't allow it in any programs I have used.

I had the same problem with IE in landscape mode. I turned off cleartype and rebooted and it was fixed.

i had to do that for my IE as well but that fix doesn't seem to work for SMS-Chat.
actually i just noticed, oddly enough, if you type with keyboard (landscape) and then close keyboard before sending the message your written text appears in text box and if you slide open again the text will stay but new text will again be invisible... i have all cleartype disabled and cannot think of what the problem may be. maybe the application uses cleartype in landscape on its own???
You guys should try L26's Diamond V9 ROM. I have zero problem with cleartype in landscape mode in any application.

I am actually on L26 v9 coincidentally i have updated roms every time he comes out with a new one since v1 and check for v10 every day lol. I have no problems with other apps both in landscape and in portrait but this one is giving me a hard time tho.
This is serious issue, I have it on my tilt too and I havew l26V9 too... this is ridiculous...
I tried to change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings key: offonlandscape with no luck, anyone has any idea?
I have Alex's newest ROM, and have no difficulty using Vito SMS chat. I can see the text as I'm typing it in (in landscape mode, of course), and can see all of the messages I've received or sent. It's in cool colors, too!

I installed AT&T's WM6.0 Stock rom on my Tilt and it indeed works perfectly, so does Fun Contacts by Vito.
You can't simply disable cleartype in the system to solve this problem associated with Vito softwares. Why? Because the software itself forces the use of clear-type fonts regardless of system setting in landscape mode.
I've got a response back from VITO support, NO They can't fix this problem unless it is fixed by microsoft in WM6.1

that makes sense, i guess we will have to hope that the cleartype issue gets figured out in a new 6.1 ROM
Is there an alternative for that program?

PocketCM Keyboard is a freeware alternative. But I guess you've paied for Vito SMS Chat right? I would not be satisfied with their answer.
Vito should add an option to enable\disable in their program. Should not be the hardest thing to do.
Voice your concerns on http://www.technologyatplay.com/main-mobile/forums/forum-view.asp?fid=165
Seems its the VITO forum that their developer visit.
looks like this could be the solution to our problem.... i have asked Leo to include it in his next ROM. lets hope he does!

Popup menus blank

Hi
Since installing WM 6.1 from the Orange website on my Kaiser, all the popup menus display blank captions/text when the keyboard is slid out. Has anyone else encountered this issue? The menus work fine when using the Kaiser in "portrait" mode.
TIA

this is a problem with Windows Mobile 6.1 and cleartype in landscape. the only workaround: disable cleartype or flash back to 6.0
Thanks, that's done the trick
is there any other solution to do the trick..? i want to use cleartype..
htc tweak
hi,
50% solution:
you can use cleartype in portrait-mode when enabling via genereal setting.
BUT you have to disable it (via htctweak) in landscape mode, than you see all the menu-fonts.
-> htc tweaks (you find somewhere here)
cheers

Text cannot be seen when entered in Google Maps while screen is in landscape

Anyone have any suggestions for this one... I posted it on Google's Forum as well. I have done a bit of searching on XDA also with no luck thus far, thanks!
I have a Tilt with the HTC WWE 6.1 ROM on it, and everytime I use the directions option on Google Maps, I slide the keyboard open, select add new destination, and try to type an address. The cursor will move as I type, but the text cannot be seen... it is as if the font for this particular section goes to white, because the info comes up when I finish typing and go back to the screen to begin routing the directions. This only seems to happen when in landscape on the Tilt, and works fine when in portrait.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the response... used KaiserTweak and changed that setting... still no luck. This started as soon as the update was pushed to my phone. Software related?
Yeah I'm seeing the same problem. I checked the registry and don't see any Google Maps-specific setting that could be changed to fix it.

Same problem with Ie and Google maps
I have the same problem in IE and Google Maps after upgradinf to official HTC Windows mobile 6.1 upgrade. I'm posting this message using Iris Browser and I've not any problem.
Ciao from Italy
also try disabling the cleartype in your phones settings i had this problem also until i did this and it stopped
Turning cleartype off worked for me.
Is there a solution to this that will allow the use of cleartype fonts? Things are really easier to read with cleartype turned on. Any other cooked ROMs out there found a way around this?
Phone: AT&T Tilt
ROM: Duttys Diamond 3.5 V1
Thanks.

I'm seeing this issue since I updated Google Maps today to version 2.2.0.16, but I do not have cleartype enabled.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that in my previous post - the phone's Cleartype settings do not seem to have any effect on Google maps, indicating that it's an additional setting set in google maps. This is on 6.1, not 6.0, and the stock AT&T ROM.
Have Cleartype off in the OS, have the same problem (only in landscape) in Google Maps. Don't have the problem in pocket IE.
The only fix is loading Kaiser Tweak? I thought Advanced Config superseded it but I can't find the setting in there...?
In Advanced Config, click Menu then More Settings (I think it's called), and then click ClearType... There's a checkbox at the top. Good luck.

Isn't it able, which is to change Landscape mode as manual.

I know it is changed to Landscape mode automatically by G-sensor.
However, I think 'Landscape' mode does not work whole programme, such as Word Mobile.
Do you know how to change 'Landscape' mode as manual?
I cannot found in 'Screen' setting.

Thanks but I am afraid I explained wrong.
I am happy with 'Auto-Rotation' function.
However, I wonder to see other programme (E.g. Touch Flo3d, Word...) as landscape mode.
I used to use WM5 (Trinity), it is able to change Landscape mode on Screen (Setting). However, I am not sure I cannot find how to rotate screen on Touch Diamond2.
Search for Gsen and other programs in the Diamond or Blackstone forums that let you choose which app is rotated. There's also a post somewhere about some REG edits that lets you configure the G-sensor app in the lastetst Topaz Roms (the one you are currently using) the way you want it.
I'm using G-Config:
