Is it possible to rotate the screen while the TF is docked? Auto-rotate appears to be disabled, such that even if the setting is enabled, the screen will not rotate when turned. If I lock the screen in anything but the "right-side-up" landscape mode prior to docking, it just reverts when placed in the dock. I am looking for the ability to have the screen locked in "upside-down" landscape mode when docked.
Odd as this may sound, if it is not possible, this may be a deal-breaker with me and my new TF. I am in the Navy on a submarine and I want to mount the TF upside down in my rack (bed) above me so that it turns in to flip-down screen that I can stream movies from my external hd. Any ideas?
I read in one post that the auto-rotate was disabled while docked in the most recent update, can anyone confirm this? I will be willing to revert or run a custom rom if this feature is possible in another version.
I am running the latest stock 3.1 update. Thanks in advance.
auto rotate did used to work for me while docked before the last update. Not a big deal really but one thing I noticed.
Thanks, but I can't get the screen to rotate while docked no matter what version I try.
Flashed to Prime 1.5 since it was based on the previous 8.4.4.5 - no go.
Flashed to stock 8.4.4.5 - still a no go.
I ensured auto-rotate was enabled when docked, and it would not rotate.
I locked the screen "upside-down" and then docked, but it still reverted back.
If the previous version allowed this, any ideas on what i m doing wrong?
Can anyone else confirm that their screen rotated while docked?
Is there any mod that can enable this feature?
I too would appreciate a way of changing the orientation while docked or while locked to a certain orientation by an application.

I have a HTC wizard, with the latest ROM upgrade, but I have a problem. I dont know if this is related to the latest iMate ROM, but when I put my screen in landscape mode it rotates the screen correctly.
Only when I open and close the phone again, the screen is rotated back again. I want to keep the screen on landscape mode.
Is there a way to keep it on landscape and avoid this 'bug'?
it's not a bug, it's a feature
And no - nobody has any ready solution. Would probably require hacking the keyboard driver to stop the call to change the screen orientation. Either that, or have a TSR running which continually monitors the screen orientation and switches to Landscape if Portrait is detected. That would be a lot easier, but such battery more
Weird, because when you select that option "Settings->System->Screen->orientation" you would think it would be a permanent thing .
it would be if it weren't for the fancy slide-out keyboard and the fancy people behind it who thought it would be a good idea to automatically change the orientation to Landscape when slid out (which probably IS a good idea) and back to Portrait when slid back in ( which is a good idea if the device was in Portrait when it was first slid out, but not a very good idea if it was in Landscape to begin with %) )
its just lazy design.
That is really too bad. I found a hint which file to pach : keybddr.dll, but I dont think I can do that
Has anyone ever experienced this problem before? The backlight isn't turning on when the phone is in portrait mode (even when the phone is booting), but will turn on when the keyboard is slightly pulled out (before technically flipping the screen) and works fine in landscape mode. I'm not sure if something is loose inside, but might have to open it up and see if no one has any ideas.
The screen Auto-Rotate doesn't work for my N1 after upgrading to 2.2.1 FRG83.
My screen orientation is not rotating when turn the phone from side to upright. Side to side rotation still works.
I will need to reboot my phone or cancel the "Auto-Rotate Screen" setting to bring the screen orientation back to upright. Is this the bug of FRG83 or just my N1? By the way, it works fine before i have done the upgrade.
Hi All,
It has been almost a week for my new nexus 10 was unable to rotate the screen by it self if i hold it side ways. I check and make sure the rotate lock is NOT on. I was running on a stock ROM. Then I did a factory reset in the setting. Nothing Change
I update the OTA 4.2.2. Nothing Change
I Root it again then flashed PARANOIDANDROID 3.1 RC [AOSP 4.2.2 Base - Nexus 10] [Hybrid] - Nothing change
At this point I am not able to make the screen rotate by itself. If the screen is in horizontal mode, If i go into a app that is vertical, then it will stock in vertical mode.
I download the android sensor box. shows that my accelerometer sensor and orientation sensor is off. But I do not know how to re calibrate it.
HELP
Hi
I've just enabled the Daydream function but even though it works in both portrait & lanscape when previewing the various options, when I've actually chosen one and plugged it into my charger, it will only function in portrait mode. Is this a bug on my phone or what?
Thx
**Bump** .....No-one else got this problem then??
After more searching on this, I see I'm not the only one with this problem, and it is in fact, a bit of a bug(ger)....
On my Nexus 7 it rotates in landscape mode too...but not on my S4
I have to start Daydream first and put it into landscape mode before plugging in my power connector...it then works OK.
It's been moaned about on various forums etc since last year....but it still hasn't been rectified!
