Re: ANYONE TRIED FORCING FLEKSY INTO LANDSCAPE?
Hi Rick, I tried out landscape but, by unlocking orientation, and found that I'm just to use to portrait mode. the last couple years of having my orientation locked has just made landscape foreign to me. I use the classic thumb typing style. I hold my phone like one holds a video game controller or, a hand held video game. I've been typing like this since the mobile speak days on my old HTC Mogul. haha.

Re: ANYONE TRIED FORCING FLEKSY INTO LANDSCAPE?
Hi, I've definitely had problems getting Fleksy into landscape mode. So far, this issue, along with what seems to me to be a different keyboard height, along with sluggish performance on my iPhone 4, make me inclined to classify this app as one of those experiments which, for me, has gone awry. I get much better performance and accuracy when using an attached BT keyboard or my BrailleNote Apex. Oh well, better luck next time...

Hi Carol, Landscape mode worked for me on an iPhone 4 running the current version of iOS 5.1.1 after going to Settings Fleksy and turning on the switch for Force landscape. You might check whether you have your device locked to portrait mode by double clicking your home button to go to the App Switcher, and then doing a three finger flick to the right. When you touch the bottom left corner do you hear VO say rotation lock, unlocked, button? HTH.

Re: ANYONE TRIED FORCING FLEKSY INTO LANDSCAPE?
Hi Carol, I can't bring up Fleksy in landscape mode if I have a rotation lock on my screen for portrait mode. If there's no rotation lock on my iPhone I can turn my phone so that I use either portrait or landscape mode. I don't need to be in this orientation when I launch Fleksy for the first time -- I can start it up and have it give its loading messages in portrait mode, then I can change it to landscape mode if I like. If I have the Settings Flecksy switch on for force landscape then after I choose landscape mode and triple click home, it will stay in that landscape orientation when I go back to type at any later time -- even if I use the App Switcher to switch to other apps that run in portrait mode.

Presumably, though, you still haven't locked the app switcher in portrait mode?

Re: ANYONE TRIED FORCING FLEKSY INTO LANDSCAPE?
I can set the rotation lock to portrait mode after I've launched Fleksy in landscape mode so my other applications are locked to portrait, but Fleksy comes up in landscape mode in whatever orientation I originally chose (home button to the right or left). Maybe someone else has a different experience with this?

RE: ANYONE TRIED FORCING FLEKSY INTO LANDSCAPE?
Hi Carol, I have gotten inconsistent results but had to do the following in order to make the app force-switch: 1. Turn on Force Landscape mode in settings/fleksy. 2. Go into the Task Switcher and turn off orientation lock. 3. Switch back to fleksy and rotate the phone. The developers say that at this point you may again lock the phone but the switch to landscape and back will still work within the app itself. My results were that this did work until some hours later, when I noticed that orientation did not change from portrait to landscape mode. What I don't remember is if I had removed the app from the Switcher in the meantime.

RE: ANYONE TRIED FORCING FLEKSY INTO LANDSCAPE?
Hi Carol, You are correct that forcing means exactly that, regardless of the lock state of your control in the App Switcher. As I mentioned in my last message, unlocking the orientation once, switching by rotating the phone within the fleksy app and then relocking should do the trick.

Esther, I took it to mean that this option would force Fleksy to go into landscape regardless of the fact your phone was locked to portrait. Have I misunderstood the setting? I'm thinking of giving it another go anyway before making a final decision as to whether I think there's a problem because I know I can screw up and want to be sure of my facts before saying so.

Hi Carol, Landscape mode worked for me on an iPhone 4 running the current version of iOS 5.1.1 after going to Settings Fleksy and turning on the switch for Force landscape. You might check whether you have your device locked to portrait mode by double clicking your home button to go to the App Switcher, and then doing a three finger flick to the right. When you touch the bottom left corner do you hear VO say rotation lock, unlocked, button? HTH.

Re: ANYONE TRIED FORCING FLEKSY INTO LANDSCAPE?
It's worth me having another go and I'll come back on that one maybe by tomorrow. Carol P Original Message From: Esther mori...@mac.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, July 16, 2012 1:46 PM Subject: Re: ANYONE TRIED FORCING FLEKSY INTO LANDSCAPE? I can set the rotation lock to portrait mode after I've launched Fleksy in landscape mode so my other applications are locked to portrait, but Fleksy comes up in landscape mode in whatever orientation I originally chose (home button to the right or left). Maybe someone else has a different experience with this? Cheers, Esther On Jul 16, 2012, at 2:33 AM, Carol Pearson wrote: Presumably, though, you still haven't locked the app switcher in portrait mode? I personally don't like leaving that switch unlocked as I'm always tilting my phone and then finding it jumps between landscape and portrait; so I'd prefer it if I could leave that switch locked but force (literally) a landscape mode for this app only. Is this not possible then?

Hi Carol, I can't bring up Fleksy in landscape mode if I have a rotation lock on my screen for portrait mode. If there's no rotation lock on my iPhone I can turn my phone so that I use either portrait or landscape mode. I don't need to be in this orientation when I launch Fleksy for the first time -- I can start it up and have it give its loading messages in portrait mode, then I can change it to landscape mode if I like. If I have the Settings Flecksy switch on for force landscape then after I choose landscape mode and triple click home, it will stay in that landscape orientation when I go back to type at any later time -- even if I use the App Switcher to switch to other apps that run in portrait mode. HTH.

Re: ANYONE TRIED FORCING FLEKSY INTO LANDSCAPE?
Hmm! OK. I'm going to do that later but wouldn't want to do that every day, though I think I may prefer landscape.

Hi Carol, I have gotten inconsistent results but had to do the following in order to make the app force-switch: 1. Turn on Force Landscape mode in settings/fleksy. 2. Go into the Task Switcher and turn off orientation lock. 3. Switch back to fleksy and rotate the phone. The developers say that at this point you may again lock the phone but the switch to landscape and back will still work within the app itself. My results were that this did work until some hours later, when I noticed that orientation did not change from portrait to landscape mode.

RE: ANYONE TRIED FORCING FLEKSY INTO LANDSCAPE?
I've tried landscape using my fingers as well as my thumbs but I still find portrait to be much faster for me especially when I use three fingers on my right hand while holding the phone in portrait mode with my right. I use my index finger for letters on the left half of the keyboard, middle finger for letters in the middle and my ring finger for letters on the right portion of the keyboard. So far, this is my fastest method in my case. I know this is very subjective but I find it really interesting to see how others do their typing.
