I have a weird problem with my A500, the touch screen works perfectly but in Portrait View, specifically on rotating it to the right side - The screen area on the bottom where the home, exit and notifications area is just doesnt respond to the touch.
I guess this has something to do with the resolution or something.
Any fixes guys, any help on this will be deeply appreciated.
P.S - Amazing developer work by the XDA Team on the A500, Thank you guys!

Can you tell us what version you're running? Have you loaded a custom ROM, stock, etc?
I am running 3.2 Taboonay (latest) ROM. This has been a problem since the factory 3.0.
Also, this is a HUGE problem for me as, if some application doesnt open in Landscape and is only for the Portrait Orientation, then I cannot exit the Application as there are no hardware buttons to close the app so the last resort is to restart. I really need a fix for this, help me out. Thanks!
If you can't find any way to fix the issue, there's an app in the market called Button Savior that has soft buttons you can use.

Sounds like maybe a problem with the digitizer. Have you contacted acer about it?

@ TechPlease Thanks Button Savior works perfectly.
@DARKMAN I will do that, I thought it was a software problem.
Thanks a lot!

I think HTC had intentionally rotate back to portrait mode because TF3D does not support landscape mode.
try to install MobileMagic, enable Free Rotation then try rotating in the Program menu of WM, then u'll see if theres a Problem with Opera or the system itself. Maybe it works if the rotation is handled with Mobilemagic.

Have you installed any kind of topbar icons? That's the number 1 reason for Opera crashing with rotation. Try uninstalling the topbar and see if it helps.
Thats the fault, I had installed a new flashy topbar, which looked cool, but interferred with my ability to change rotation of programs.
I uninstalled the topbar, and it works fine.. Just gotta decide if I want a flashy topbar which looks lovely, or have the rotation back..
Decisions decisions.
Thanks for your help.

Not at All! There are many top bars (color ones and flashy ones and everything in between) throughout these excellent HD forums which will not give you the rotation problem. Simply try again and soon enough you'll have the best of both worlds. (for me, out of about 7 different top bars only 2 had the rotation problem....maybe just one)
Good hunting!
Mine just doesn't work. Does anyone else have this problem? Any one have a possible solution?
Mine works in landscape mode. In portrait mode, I have to use home/menu/notifications to get there. It's like the touch on that row is dead or something.
Any insights as to a fix would be appreciated. I have tried reboot, soft reset, and a factory data reset.
I started a thread on this yesterday the title is:
"I can't be the only one with this problem...."
I am too new here to be able to post links
It might be.. a bad screen.
There is a app that test the input response to touch. I do not remember the name of it... I was used to show how the nexus 1 screen was better touch response.
Use that to see it the top of your screen works

The app in question is called Multitouch Vis Test. Search that exact term on the Android Marketplace and it will come up.
Hi all,
This is my first posting, thanks for spending time to read this, u guys are amazing with the help u all provide, really a great community!
I would like to check if there is a way to lock the homescreen rotation with the hc 'auto-rotate screen' setting set to on? I tried searching for a sokution but could not find one. The problem I have is everytime I change from landscape to portrait mode, the homescreen rotation takes quite some time and I cannot stand the lag! Ha please help me suggest solutions! Thanks!
Settings -> Screen -> uncheck Auto-rotate screen
Hey,
Just got my Transformer a few days ago. I've been using Widgetsoid 2 on my Desire for quite a while, and have it on my TF too now. You can set a button on the homescreen or even have it show up in notifications. Saves you a click on settings... (sorry, I haven't posted enough to insert a link here)

Hi thanks but what I wanted was to disable only the rotation of the home screen while still retaining the rotation of the other apps. Hence using the method above does not really help eh.. I use launcherpro for my HTC desire and it can disable the homescreen rotation, so checking if it is possible to do that on hc
use tasker, use the last app context so when you press home it turns off auto rotate,then when youleave the home screen it will turn auto rotate on again. its in the markwt.
hi thanks,
Tried this ingenious method but found out that tasker default for when auto-rotate is off is in portrait mode! So did not really work for me, thanks anyways!
not sure if this exists, but id like an app ( a button if you will) that will let me rotate the screen each time i press it..
Id like to be able to read the tablet in landscape mode while im laying on my side (in bed)
I could lock the screen, i know, but id like to avoid the extra steps
Since I was using ADW EX as my home app for my Hero (still alive, oh yeah!) I tried it out here. It runs great, looks good (you can hide the dock if you like), and under the settings it has the option for homescreen as Auto/sensor, Portrait, Landscape, and Keyboard rotate. Now, I realize you are probably looking for a free option, but if you don't mind a couple bucks going to a nice launcher with many options, that is out there.

Just tried it, work like a charme or me. The fact is that when you open the launcher it stop the autorotation, but on't change it to landscap, so i yu are in portrait before launching it, you will be stuck in portrait, etc.

hi thanks all for the replies and help
I purchased adw ex in the end and loving it the himescreen rotation is much faster then the stock launcher, think I'll stick with leaving auto rotate on
Hi guys, just thought id help. If you want to keep the stock launcher a great app to manage your rotation in any app is "smart rotator" in the market. Simple and effective!
I screwed up and broke the very top of my digitizer. When orientated in portait mode, I cannot interact with either the notification bar, or (when flipped over) the home screen buttons. Its just a narrow band of badness, no deeper than the home icon. The LCD is undamaged.
My question for you awesome people is.. do you have any suggestions as to a theme or a rom or remapping of buttons that might help me and others like me out? For instance, it would be rad to have the notification bar and home buttons on the same side of the screen. Or maybe I could make the power button go to the home screen?
Thanks guys! And be careful with your stuff.

You can use AOKP with tablet ui. I threw up a working build of it tonight. Google now nav ring is kind of off in left corner besides that its fine. Should solve what you're asking for, not to self promote or anything. I didn't make it, I just compiled it.

Oh man, I think I'll restore everything, lock the bootloader and take the tour, I think it ridiculous, the problem is in the phone hardware, factory, so it's their problem, what do I install or not install on my phone not change at all ... I'll try some roms to see if the problem changes ... Good luck with your problem too :\
OK, here's a little story that just happened:
I enabled dt2w today. So I've been playing around for a while, browsing, watching videos and stuff. When in the play store I used the swipe gesture to open the menu and was surprised nothing happened. I tried several times, it just wouldn't work. Back on the home screen (info: I've set it so the screen rotates in all angles and the navbar is always on the bottom) I was in landscape mode and was surprised again because the navbar would not react. So I rotated to portrait and it worked.
So I launched the phone tester app and used the multi touch test to check my whole screen and found that to the left and right side there was a blind spot from top to bottom about 0,5cm in width.
When thinking what could have possibly caused this I disabled dt2w, locked the screen, unlocked it and used the multi touch teat again. Alas, the blank spots were gone!
I'm not sure if this is helpful for you though as you use the stock kernel.
