T-Mobile HD2.
Im having issues with my screen not staying rotated. When im in a browser or pretty much anything. My screen will rotate just fine to landscape view but it only stays rotated for about 2 seconds or so then it flips back. I haven't made any changes in the last week and this just started yesterday.
anyone have any advice for me?

Lifted up my locked phone when i got a text notification and the sceen went into landscape mode (I lifted it in that orientation). Half the screen was corrupted. i turned the phone into portrait orientation and the screen adjusted (no corruption) then I went back to landscape and the screen changed again, this time with not ocorruption. I unlocked it in landscape and the Today screen appeard in portrait. Sent myself a text to see if this was repetable and it's not. May have been a gliche in BSB Tweaks or something but it was an "interesting" moment.
Does anyone know of a too, (that actually works) that auto-switched the Today screen? I still miss not having a rotatable home screen.
Sorry my post may go against the rules of this forum by not talking about Windows Phone 7 Series or porting Android to HD2

Hello everyone.
I just got my X10 over the weekend and have started to play around with it. One thing I have noticed is that the screen will only rotate to landscape on one side (with the home buttons on the right in landscape mode). I've checked various videos on the net and they all seem to rotate in this direction, but don't show it going the other way. I checked my wife's Iphone and it rotates both ways. Can anyone let me know if this is an issue with the X10 in general, or just my phone. TIA.
Confirmed. the device only rotates on the left side. But i never thought about it before

Is there any reason why this would be a problem? must say I've not come across any occasion where I've thought that would be required.

It only rotates to the left, yeah. But I think it's great since I'm seriously annoyed with screen rotation at times. This way I can lie in my bed and write texts in portrait-mode with my phone on the side so to speak. And I don't want to turn it off completely since I use it when I look at pictures and browse the web. I just wish there was a way to disable screen rotation for different applications.
I believe this is the same for all droid phones. My buds Moto-DROID does the same thing and I do recal only being able to tilt the N1 in the same direction. On the DROID it makes sense to me, the physical keyboard only goes one way. However, my bud is left handed and he instinctively wanted to turn my x10 to the right so the hardware buttons are on the left and he coudltn. He immediately did not like the phone.
Thanks all,
this isn't really a problem for me, I just thought it was strange since I didn't really see a reason for it. This is my first Android phone, so I'm still getting used to the benefits and quirks of the system, and just thought it was odd. Well lets hope that we get an update to 2.1/2.2 or are able to root the heck out of this thing soon.
Cheers
The N1 use to do this too but in 2.2 it gained the ability to be rotated into landscape either way.
I reckon 1 way landscape rotation is the best thing ever... esp. with the reading lying down thing... I used to have to hold my Diamond on a weird 45 degree angle in those situations...
I bet you can think of a million reasons why it's great it only rotates one way, but I bet you'd struggle finding a decent reason why you'd need it to rotate both:
I have a problem and can only rotate my phone clockwise, this means I have to rotate it 270 degrees instead of 90, just to get it into landscape
I prefer to press the camera button with my thumb holding underneath the phone. Now I have to do it with my index finger like a normal person
I'm lefthanded - everything works backwards for me.
Sometimes, and I notice it mostly after unlocking it, the screen orientation is off (I'll be holding it "in portrait", but the screen is in landscape mode). Instead of switching immediately to portrait, or even after a couple seconds, I have to hold it in landscape then back to portrait for it to switch.
I only started noticing it after installing 2.2 last week, and it doesn't happen all the time. Has anyone else seen this behavior? I haven't calibrated the compass since 2.2, and after 2 minutes of rotating the phone around on 2.1, on at least two different occasions, I said screw it and stopped (before the calibration finished). Could that by why?
Also, maybe it's the launcher (ADW), but sometimes click-holding a widget/app shortcut on one of the screens is "wonky". Sometime I can click-hold it and the phone will vibrate and I can drag it to the trash or move it around no problem. But then sometimes it just won't activate. I just tried to delete a widget around 20 times. I click-held for anywhere from 1-3 seconds, and no vibrate. However, after I let go, it activated the program. WTF? Eventually it worked, but it really shouldn't take that many attempts.
Same issue. I have LP+. I disabled auto-rotation in settings\display as a temporary fix.

I have the same issue after unlock too. I've noticed that I have to hold it in portrait for a few seconds and tap the top to get it rotated. Quite annoying since it happens all day long. You're right, this didn't happen before froyo.
Anyone have skills with re-mapping buttons? I would love a dedicated button to rotate screen. I wouldn't mind the camera button remapped for that. Full Press=Rotates screen/Half Press=Locks screen in that rotation.
thats odd im on rooted 2.2 and dont have that problem with adw installed on it. it could be the accelerometer. i notice it other times not after unlock. usually i do have to wait a second and tapping it does help which leads me to belive its the accelerometer. however if this is a really big issue for alot of people then a button to auto rotate the screen would be very helpful.
Did anyone try calibrating their compass after moving to 2.2 and see if that fixes the screen orientation issues?
Sapo, I have. After doing that it wasn't happening for a little while (maybe a day or so), but it's back now for the last week, and it's happening more often. And I tried what someone else suggested, tapping on the top of my phone with a finger, and that flips it around to normal every time.
happens a lot with mine too, unrooted, still running moto blur...several apps open that way, email, messaging....not always though, so it's a bit puzzling.
I would try using the Stock Blur Home to see if its just ADW

Anyone else finding the Focus screen orientation not reorienting from Portrait to Landscape in various places (IE, e-mail etc)?
Yes, but if you notice in the instruction manual it says not all screens have landscape.
Some of the reviews of the LG qwerty phone indicate this too, making typing on a sqwerty a sideways proposition.
I would expect more landscape rolled out in updates, but then again I am a douche.
Seems more responsive today, maybe the SD card affected more than memory.
The Focus is sluggish when changing orientation. I compared a Focus and a Surround side by side, and the Surround flips to landscape and back faster every time.
Since I went ahead and bought the Focus anyway, I really hope Samsung tweaks this in time for the next update.
Rotating slow on Focus too
Has anyone tried to hard reset to see if it gets better?

Where it is sluggish? I don't feel any slugginess in mine
Mine does it occasionally too. I wouldn't say it's sluggish.. It's quite fast when it *does* rotate. Just sometimes when the screen rotates to say..landscape.. then I want to switch back to portrait..the screen wont rotate.. and i have to shake the phone a bit for it to work again. Doesnt happen always but it happens enough that you notice it.
Hey guys. Just got my oneplus 5 and I love it. My only issue is how aggressively it goes from portrait to landscape. I tilt it not even 30 degrees and it goes into landscape which gets very annoying, fast.
Anyone experiencing this issue? Any fixes or ways to calibrate?
So I'm the only one who has the screen going to landscape all the time, with the slightest of tilts? Do I have a faulty device?
To reproduce the issue just take another phone and watch a YouTube video in portrait mode. Put both phones side by side and start tilting. The OnePlus 5 will switch to Landscape mode before the phone is horizontal. My s8+ only switches when my phone is in horizontal position.
Yeah i don't keep my rotation on all the time so I just checked it. Mine is fine too 45 degrees. Once I go more then that, it flips.
Could be your device
hi,
got my phone last week and have the same agressive behavior. Hope an update will fix that
There's actually a thread on the oneplus forum about it. I think it could be related to the inverted display #jellygate
same here, it's about the calibration of the orientation sensor... just stop it with the inverted display thing, i think the engineers at OnePlus know better than some of us about tech, they didn't do it unintentionally

Can confirm this is happening to me too. The rotation is extremely sensitive
