I agree with everyone's comments. Five years folks have been asking for this feature and still no solution. Why? ... View more

I agree. It should be quite simple for those writing code for Collector to allow the operating system to control the screen orientation. ... View more

Nexus 7 (2013) runs Collector in Landscape only. ... View more

Do you suppose that one of the Developer Options in Android control the screen behavior relative to Collector? I don't understand all of the options available and what they do, but I'm sure some teenager out there does. ... View more

I've been trying to install ArcPad 10.X on a Lumia 640 XL running Windows 8 and have had no luck at all. I just don't understand why ESRI wouldn't want to support newer Windows phone operating systems. Windows Mobile 6.X is ancient and the hardware running it is very slow. ... View more

I have used the LeProwse/Minteer applet and GPS locates to great success with ArcPad 6.0. However, it rarely works with ArcPad 10.X. For example, I just did a two day field project with 413 points captured with GPS - none of them autopopulated the X,Y fields. Today I revisited three points to update their geometry with GPS and the X,Y fields autopopulated.  Same ArcPad project, same shapefiles, same attribute table, same applet. Go figure! ... View more

Whenever I fill out my form and capture a point using either GPS or manual placement, the display scale goes to a zoom level that is nothing like what it was when I begin point capture. For example, if the scale bar was 10 feet per unit, after filling out and closing my form the display zooms to some odd scale like 29.72 feet per unit! So I have to continuously rezoom after each point is collected to get back to where I was. I've looked for some option or default setting that would fix this, but I'm just not seeing it. I'm looking for the same behavior that ArcPad 6.X had. I've used ArcPad since version 5.0 and I'm embarrassed to be so stumped. I hoped that upgrading to ArcPad 10.2 would resolve the random zoom scale issue, but it has not. It is also device independent. The fact that there is so little discussion on such an annoying issue leads me to believe I am doing something wrong or need to change a not-so-obvious setting. Can anyone else verify they are having the same issue? ... View more
