Does anyone have full rotate working? Mine is only working in three positions.
Portrait - buttons at bottom.
Portrait 180 - buttons at top.
Landscape - with eLocity logo at bottom.
I can't do landscape @ 180 with the logo at the top. This would help me since
I'm left handed and hold the tablet in my right hand and I keep hitting the buttons
with landscape view. Causes some interesting results...
thanks,

nope
Mine only rotates 90deg left and right it will not rotate to have the bottom at the top. Guess thats what they mean by 180deg rotation. 90 deg to left 90 to right equals 180.

Yep.
But 360-rotation could be changed in kernel

Hi,
Just got my Topaz today.
I only manage to get it to landscape mode when turning left, is there a way of getting to go landscape when turning to the right. I prefer it that way for querty usage, being right handed I prefer to have extra reach with mi right hand.
Thanks.
I thought that it can rotat each way except for upside down. If not that will suck but sure there is a hack for it. Try turning it to the right and tilting the screen down a little bit?
If it works let me know. And by right I assume you mean that you like the bottom of the phone to be on the right side. Because I hate diveces that rotate to the left.... I've seen a few where you need to turn it left to slide out the qwerty. Seems Bass Ackwards to me.
Is it possible to rotate both ways?
Anyone found a fix for this? I'm using the new WM6.5 rom, and after enabling auto-rotate, I can only get it to rotate one way. I'd like it to rotate the other way as well as that would suit the position of my car mount and car charger better. Any ideas anyone?
not sure if it works but you can try to change with advance config 3.3 landscape mode from 270° to 180° for right rotation but its fixed

Don't you mean "to" 90 degrees?
180 would be upside down?
yes 90 degrees
You can use ChangeScreen to rotate all the programs.
Changescreen does the trick
Thanks chaps for all the advice. Advanced config does seem to have settings to rotate in all directions, but the Touchflo interface would still only rotate in the one direction.
However, changescreen seems to override that, and allows you to rotate it in all directions (as long as you take the restrictions of the Manilla settings).
Thanks everyone!

is it possible for home screen to tilt when phone is tilted.
also how come browser only tilts left not right upside down etc
thanks
No & no.
The home screen (So i have read) cannot be tilted because of how the widgets were made and they dont allow it to be repositioned into landscape.
Browser does not tilt the other way (also, from what i have read and gathered) is because Android was built firstly on the G1 and that had a keyboard which slided one way. Did not make sense to make it rotate the other way, and so now that we have moved away from the Keyboard slide, it might be possible in the near future?
DO correct me if i am wrong anyone....this is just from what knowledge i have gathered from reading up these issues.

This is so the trackball can be used (by right-handers) with landscape mode.

You can use aHome (on the market place) to have a rotating home screen
I tried this with the 2.1 OpecEclair ROM,but i returned to original Android 1.6 and now I don't have this option.
Can I unlock this option(360 degree rotating) whit the original ROM?Also now I can switch orientation only when I'm browsing or typing SMS.I want to rotate in the menu or at the home screen.
I will appreciate any help.
?? 360 degrees?
is it possible that you mean 180° ?
360° is all the way round, so it's the same as before. 180° means upside-down..
I can understand 270°. But 180°? What's the point?
I think, maybe he wants turn the view 180 degrees, when in horizontal mode, becouse he is left-handed and this will be more comfortable for him. Or maybe, not... Where he's gone, he doesn't answer to our questions :/

If the app at any point forces it into landscape, it'll stay landscape if auto-rotate is off at that instance.
It's because you're pissed, and you can't tell vertical from horizontal

Yeah it's a bug, but it's a wierd one.
Took me an hour of googling and messing about, but basically, if you lock rotation in preferences or any 3rd party 'lock rotation' widget, it'll immediately jump into landscape and stay there.
However if you tap on the battery on the bottom right, then the icon under the time (looks like a musical stave) a menu comes up. If you disable auto rotate there it stays in portrait and doesn't jump into landscape.

you can do it by installing (any?) go launcher, and modifying the screen settings, fixing it to landscape orientation
