    Have you got a link to that reg file to shift orientation 90dg ?

    That's what's wrong with mine I think, I tilt portrait, and it change to landscape instead

    Heres the reg setting from my Bush 8" tablet, hopefully it'll work for you. ;)

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT\SENSOR\0000\Device Parameters\kxfusion]
    "Orientation"=hex:01,01,00,00,01,01,02

    It has fixed landscape orientation, but portrait is reversed, any ideas what to change to fix that?

    If I hold the tablet in portrait, it orientates upside down, landscape works spot on

    Thanks again

    Hmm, that's the exact same problem that, that .reg fixed for me :confused:

    Obviously one of the variables needs to be reversed. But I never looked into which one did what, as that .reg fixed my 'Portrait (flipped)' issue.

    Heres a few examples I collected in order to find a solution:

    Bush 8" Tablet, Linx 7, Linx 8, Tesco Connect 8"
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\R OOT\SENSOR\0000\Device Parameters\kxfusion]
    "Orientation"=hex:01,01,00,00,01,01,02 
    HP Stream 7
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT\SENSOR\0000\Device Parameters\kxfusion]
    "Orientation"=hex:01,00,01,00,00,00,02
    Toshiba Encore Mini. (from Bezalel)
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT\SENSOR\0000\Device Parameters\kxfusion]
    "Orientation"=hex:01,00,01,01,00,01,02
    Hope they help. let me know how it goes. ;)

    FYI...
    These settings are only for tablets with kxfusion sensors.

    Cheers, I`ll give them all a shot, and try to work out which digits change which orientation, hopefully should be able to decipher the code lol

    Before running the original reg you posted, portrait would change to landscape and vice versa, also reversed, so we're nearly there

    Hmm, OK, so none of them work now, not even the first one, everything is opposite, and reversed

    Landscape is portrait, and portrait is landscape, and all are upside down lol

    EDIT - Tell a lie, the first one has landscape as landscape, and portrait as portrait, but upside down

    Don't forget to reboot between each change, took me a while to figure that one out. :eek:

    HP Stream 7 had me confused for a while, it was always 90* off. Every time I turned the tablet, 90* the screen moved forward 90*.
    Discovering this on a Friday night after returning home from the pub probably didn't help. :p

    Just edited my post, and yea I just discovered about the reboot thing too lol

    So the original reg works for land / port - but they are upside down

    --

    Right, fixed the landscape again by changing the original reg from this to this

    --
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT\SENSOR\0000\Device Parameters\kxfusion]
    "Orientation"=hex:01,01,00,00,01,01,02

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT\SENSOR\0000\Device Parameters\kxfusion]
    "Orientation"=hex:00,00,01,01,01,01,02
    But portrait is still upside down

    :confused: What... :confused: How.... :confused: OK, you've got me on that one... :confused:

    Maybe, a few hours down the pub had more of an effect than I thought. :p

    Guys since there are many tablet users in this thread. Anyone knows how to bring touch keyboard instead of handwriting keyboard when you hit keyboard icon with the pen?

    When you touch with your finger, touch keyboard comes, but with the pen, handwriting keyboard comes. Would like to bring always touch keyboard. I think on w8 always touch keyboard will show and you can change it to handwriting if needed.

    It's a pain to have the handwriting keyboard showing and have to change to touch kb every time you click on it.

    Thanks

    Hopefully someone can solve that but I can't sadly. I think with mine and a lot of other cheap Windows tablets (the Bay Trail set), a finger or stylus always brings up the regular touch keyboard. I'm sure someone will know if it can be done.

    Thanks. Lets hope someone has a clue about this.

    Not sure if happens on all tablets, looks like at least happens on wacom and ntrig based pen stylus.

    I've only played with one tablet that had a stylus, 'ASUS' I think :confused:

    Had to use W8.1 Wacom drivers, which installed an app that allowed for much better configuration than the standard W10 control panel applet.

    Although, I didn't look that closely at what it did.

    @abbodi1406,
    I don't think its related to this issue. As here the sensors are detected and are working, there just using the wrong rotation settings.

    BUT....
    That could be related to the problem of trying to get some tablets to detect the sensors in the first place.
    That can be a real PITA. :(
