If you want portrait mode you need to CLOSE YOUR KEYBOARD after you have hold ctrl+shift+o or tapped the top of the screen options>setting>enable rotation.
IF IT'S NOR WORKING with CTRL+ SHIFT+O THEN WHILE A PAGE IS LOADING CLICK ON THE TOP AND SELECT "OPTIONS" > "SETTINGS> ENABLE ROTATION AND IT SHOULD WORK. CHEERS!!!
same problem, but i know it´s for the firmware... what i meant is: does anybody knows if my n900 coul be blocked for updating the firmware (i live in Mexico, but i brought it imported from europe) i read a guy from england updated and no problem, but when i brought it the store an employee told me that if i updated there could be a chance it get blocked, but they say that on all the devices they sell someone please :)
BTW. sorry for my grammar i know it sucks D: but i think i explained myself...
@wahid001 the ! was on the status bar so i clicked on it... but i ignored it, but a week ago or so i updated the firmware via nokia software updater and it's working great, no problem...
Blive it or not today i done without Known how , the phone was on the table i tried to reach to it and my fingers touched the keypad somewhere then the screen changed to Portrait Mode, i start googleing to find out how . but no result and here this video came in time.
lol , just did it, it worked, whats great is if u want to remove this, u just press the same bottons,,,but i think i'll leave this setting on as some sites look great on portrait mode,,,thnx and keep us posted with more of these hidden features
i give touch screen to iphone... but thats it. N900 is device i been looking for. i think iphone guys and gals got some kind of mind control chip in the phone. i see iphones everywhere.. i am not the kind to blend in. give me a G goooooo maemo...
Do you need the latest firmware for this to work? I tried to dl the new firmware this morning, but it was 90MBs and said it needed to be installed via usb cable and from desktop. A shame I'm at work now w/o the cable.
really? advantages of the n900: -keyboard -better resolution -changeable battery -multitasking -camera -front camera -skype is fully integrated (not an app) -open source -flash and much more..
@nawaz2kx I have had a phone for 12 years now. I have sent exactly 0 mms in that time! I have also recieved about 2 mms in that time. And if you really need mms there is fMMS freeware application that you can setup.
well I have done the recent update(this week) but its still telling me I got the old. pretty weared because I do have the new appmngr so I think I updated well.
can you swich it off ?

nooxyy 1 year ago
@nooxyy If you go to your setting --> textinput (i think thats what its called in english) then enable on screen keyboard.
If you want to use it, close your n900 and click on the box where you want to type.. (like the guy in this video)
