Gyrator ignores a window specific rule... What do I do now?
Check that you have enabled the rule in the event manager window. Remember different
languages will have different names for the window titles.
Make sure you have entered the name of the class or window title in correctly.
Use the learning feature to get the exact name if required.
When the device is locked, the screen still rotates, how can I prevent this?
Currently the only way you can do this, is to have a rule to catch the "Dialog"
window, and set it do nothing. This does mean however, that other windows with the
class "Dialog" will not be rotated, unless you add individual rules for them above
the "Dialog" exclusion rule.
When I rotate my device, Manila/TouchFlo 3D rotates as well, and it looks strange.
This is a known fault with Manila, not with gyrator, and there is nothing I can
do about it. All you can do to fix it, is to add an exclusion rule for "Manila",
and hope for the best.
When I rotate to any new orientation, the phone application pops up, or the today/manila screen appears.
As you'll probably know, orientation is disabled by default on the Diamond, because the HTC developers are either too incompetent, or lazy, to build applications which are orientation aware. As such, strange things happen with either Gyrator rotates the screen, or you use any other application to do the same thing.
How do I use the learning feature in Gyrator?
Enable the learning feature in the event configuration screen by tapping on either "learn window title", or "learn window class". Ensure the window you want to learn is focused and visible on the screen, then insert the stylus into the device. This will cause Gyrator to jump into the foreground, with the window class/title in the correct place.
The battery in my device seems to be running down faster since I installed Gyrator, is this normal/related in any way?
No, there is no way that Gyrator can cause your device's battery to run down any faster than normal when your device is suspended. When your device is powered on, Gyrator polls the sensor far fewer times per second than the system does, and the processing involved for processing events is negligable. People have reported that battery life is affected, but it simply is not possible since the application is suspended when the device is. It is usually related to another program on the device waking it up, causing Gyrator to start polling. I personally have seen no ill effect on the battery lifetime.
How do I run Gyrator completely in background without it showing up in the task manager?
You cna add an exception for Gyrator by tapping and holding on it's entry in the task manager, and selecting the appropriate item from the menu.
