I have an HTC Touch Pro2 running Windows Mobile 6.5 and I just tried versions 0.7 and 0.8. I can force landscape mode by opening the keyboard, but as soon as I close the keyboard, the display goes back to portrait -- even if I'm holding the phone in landscape orientation.
The way your phone switches orientation depends on it firmware. In your case this means it only switches when you pull out the keyboard.
You may however force hobdrive to switch orientation on hobdrive's startup with
<orientation>90</orientation>
option in "config.xml" file.
This may have some side effects however.
I have other software that changes as I change the orientation ... no keyboard extension needed.
What do you mean under "as I change the orientation"? You just flip the phone? Does this means you phone has orientation sensor?
hobdrive has some delay in recognizing orientation change. Try to flip the phone and wait a couple of seconds with hobdrive active.
Anyway hobdrive only relies on events from your phone about orientation change. If no orientation change happens, this means for some reason your phone do not changes it..
My phone does have an orientation sensor. When I say change orientation, I mean change from portrait to landscape, or back.
I just started HobDrive and held the phone in landscape mode for two minutes. No change.
BTW, I really like your software. I'm currently having trouble with stability with my bluetooth connection, but I doubt that HobDrive causes that. If and when I can get the bluetooth link to work consistently, I will be buying a license for the full license.
Thanks for a great product.

Qack,
Thanks for reply. Think the problem is that hobd for some reason can't see that orientation changes on your device. We'll look into this issue.
BTW, if starting hobd already from landscape mode works fine? (meaning hobd starts in landscape mode?)
Regarding the BT stability - the common problem is with virtual serial port created in the system (its abit buggy). If you use virtual serial port, try to connect your adapter directly from hobDrive, choosing a BT device.
I had already tried to start HobDrive when holding the phone in landscape mode. It didn't work.
I don't have time right now, but tonight will try to connect HobDrive directly to the bluetooth device and will report back. I will first delete the device from the system.

Arrrrggggghhhhh. I deleted my bluetooth connection on the cell phone and booted up HobDrive. I then added the bluetooth ELM327 device using the HobDrive interface. No help. I then closed HobDrive, went to my bluetooth interface through the phone and saw that the bluetooth connection that I made through HobDrive was there.
It was not connected, so I connected it then watched the status. I had five bars for a signal. After approximately 90 seconds, the connection failed. I tried this a number of times and on two vehicles. No difference.
I then loaded some OBDii software on my laptop and connected with the bluetooth ELM327 device. I had a stable connection for over 30 minutes.
Conclusion: It's the bluetooth on the phone.
I searched the internet for some advice on the bluetooth connection but didn't find anything useful.
I have ordered a ELM327 device that connects directly with USB. With any luck, I'll be able to get that device to be a reliable connection and move forward with HobDrive. I'll be offline until that device arrives.

Version 0.9.0 works better in screen orientation change detection. You may give it a try.

Если вы имеете ввиду что сам HTC не позволяет переключиться в альбомный режим, это можно попробовать обойти, указав в конфигурации хобда:
Orientation = 90
хобд при запуске попытается сам переключиться в альбомный режим.
--------------------------
The way your phone switches orientation depends on it firmware. In your case this means it only switches when you pull out the keyboard.
You may however force hobdrive to switch orientation on hobdrive's startup with
Orientation = 90option in "system settings"
