Orientation Lock for Windows Phone 7

 

Here is the first orientation lock application for Windows Phone 7! Basically, it locks your device screen orientation (do you remember – this function was built-in on your old Windows Mobile phone :)) by setting the accelerometer to power state D4, then back to D0 to revive it.
This project is created using DllImport:

DllImportCaller.lib.StringIntIntCall(“coredll”, “SetDevicePower”, “ACC1:”, 1, (int)Phone.Network.WiFi.PowerState.D0);

The app is very simple and easy to use, it’s already tested on some devices like HTC HD7, Nokia Lumia 800, Samsung Focus and Omnia 7. Also, we tested it and it works perfect on the HTC HD2 with various Windows Phone 7.5 ROM’s.

Anyway, some  HTC devices detects the accelerometer sensor as active, even when it isn’t, to fix this you need to toggling the button back and forth to get it working.

Samsung Focus – one of the best Windows Phone 7 devices

As you might know, Microsoft launched a few months ago a new operating system for mobile phones. Windows Phone 7 is a completely recoded superior operating system and it is not compatible with the current smartphones that runs the older version – Windows Mobile 6.5. In order to work properly, Windows Phone 7 needs a special hardware. Therefore, Samsung came with an interesting model that is fully operational with Windows Phone 7. Let’s see what Samsung Focus has on board.

First of all, the phone is equipped with AMOLED touchscreen with a 4″ diagonal, empowered with an accelerometer sensor and multi touch support. The resolution is 480×800 px, so nothing special here. The processor is one of the best – Qualcomm Snapdragon at 1GHz, the sad thing here is that Samsung Focus comes with only 8GB of internal storage memory. But, if that’s not enough, you can supply it with microSD card. The camera is exceptional though, you got a 5MP camera with an impressive max resolution of 2592×1944 px….
