Hi all I just got a case crown case and the screen flips to face me when I prop it up on about a 45 degree angle via the case (landscape mode) but when I start an app such as angry birds the screen rotates to the inverse position (landscape facing away from me) is there any way to prevent the tablet from doing this? Thanks

Screen lock button on the top of the tab next to volume rocker?
WOWEEEE.. YOU ARE Correct.. some games and apps will only work in the defalt landscape mode... I just tested angry birds.. However some games will require you to hold your tablet more upright then ease it down to that position.. By the way that is quite less the 45 deg. more like 22
i think the android Market is the same way .. The lock screen works only on some apps.. The app has to be rotation sensor aware.. Angry birds is NOT . well on my tablet anyway
Hope this is helpfull ...
I have screen lock on and I tried moving it around trying to get it to flip back to how my case it setup but itll only play in normal landscape. :/
Do you maybe have the tablet in the case upside down?
Because most launchers will rotate any way but some apps won't.

I vote for this on cause I tried to replicate what the original poster stated and it won't go show upside down unless I have it in the case wrong way.
Ok guys..
dont take this personal but you ARE NOT READING HIS POST CORRECTLY..
he wants to use the tablet upside down.. When you put the tablet in the case then turn it upside down while flipping the cover back.. The tablet stand will hold the case.. at well about 20 to 30 deg.. Thou he states 45 deg a bit off..
when the tablet is in this position the launcher will turn properly.. But when some games and apps are launched .. they are not aware of that rotation sensor.. to test this turn your tablet upside down and Launch say Angry Birds..
this app will only work with the tablet right side up... I noticed this many months ago.. as i sometimes prop my tab on my stearing wheel in my mini van.. upside down... NOT ALL APPS WILL WORK . JUST as not all apps will work in Landscape and portrate mode ..
OP BEST Solution email the developer. and ask if there is any fix or a hack...

None taken but this case has a built in stand. That positions it the right way doesn't seem to make sense to use it upside down on with the built in stand. I think something else that we both may not be getting

Ok I read my post im sorry it sounded a bit overly aggressive..
What im saying is sometimes i turn the lid backwards and tuck in the stand .. then will lay it on a desk or often on my knees while in bed where the tablet is upside down .. the stand works both ways , i think this is what he is doing.. as the 45 deg thing.. Try it with your tablet and you will see what im talking about.. anyway .. The op fled the scene it seems so the point is mute... I would like to know if this is what he is doing or not...
Again sorry did not mean to sound like a Bixxh ...
i JUST Got home from PT( PAINFUL TORTURE ) For my hand and shoulder I so wanna go back to work . then i would not be on here all the time..

i can see where he gets this from take the acer case(have it right here) and on the box it will show the two positions the tablet can be used, one way will turn the tablet up side down in the case and 20-45 ish angle and if u were wanting to play games that angle is better so when u hit the screen it doesnt fall back
Thanks Brian.. OP Are you here...

no prob, some people here are just to quick to say user error, when indeed its a issue small one at that. locking with the orientation switch would have done nothing

Some apps will adjust themselves in this situation.. But the app or game as i stated above.. Have to be aware of the rotation sensor.. MANY Games are not . you would have thought turning tablet to that position. Then lock the rotation lock.. But the app is aware of what is top and bottom of the tablet.. Not what is top or bottom of the UI..
hi all just wanted to say i do have the tablet in the case the way the case maker intended. If i put it in the other way all the cutouts for my ports are blocked.
As said, your apps have to actually be aware they should be running in upside down landscape mode... which most (particularly games) are not. There's no way to fix it yourself (unless the app source is available and you're a dev, that is). So this has nothing at all to do with your case...
Has nothing to do with the case, as technically you are trying to use the tablet upside down. I too very much like that position and had the same problem.

Orientation lock in the android market is what you want. Costs $1.50 but lets you lock it in "Reverse Landscape" which is what you are looking to do.

i turn on the front camera, in landscape mode, i look at my self and i see my self correctly. i rotate the phone 90 degrees (portrait mode, upright), and i still see my self correctly. i rotate the phone 180 degrees from where i started and i still see myself correctly. i turn again 270 degrees from where i started and i still see my self correctly.
you would think that when i rotate my phone, i would see my self sideways? can someone explain this?
i dont have video call so i dont know how the other person would see me when i turn the phone from landscape mode to portrait.
LOL
Yeah, you should definitely send your phone to a service centre! It's malfunctioning, they should replace it under warranty.
Really now... I hope you're kidding. Right?
no im not kidding. im just a bit puzzle. i have another phone with a camera, and when i turn the phone, the image doesnt rotate and so i will see my self side ways.
i know its sounds weird and im just trying to figure out whats going on or if my logic is wrong. im sure its my logic but im trying to find the explanation.
the phone is turning. your not.
yeah i know that. im still trying to reason it on my own. as i mentioned, my other phone, when i point the camera at myself and rotate the phone, ill see my self sideways.
o lol wow
thats trippy i have no clue how that happens unless you take a picture
are you serious or just mocking me.

prehaps that phone had acceloremeter?
but no matter what, as long as you're still in camera mode(assuming you're still using front camera), and not viewing a picture, to which angle you turn your phone to, you'll still see yourself upright!
now now, but if you were to take a photo at which ever angle you specified at, and were to view it in landscape mode(90 degree normal view) you would see the picture NOT upright. it would appear at whatever degree you held your camera/phone at just now.
yeah i know it doesnt have an accelerometer. my reasoning is screwed but im just trying to see where i am going wrong.
i do know if that i do take a picture, it will be upside down or what ever way i had the camera. i just cant grasp my reasoning at the moment.

OMG,
can you PLEASE take a video of yourself starring into your phone and wondering why on the display you are not hanging from the ceiling
......................
There actually is a reason.
Xperia uses MIRRORED image when using front camera. Front camera acts like mirror .. you rise your right hand .. and the person on the picture will rise his left hand .. which is now on the right side.
But that is not how normally cameras work. Normally you would see your correct, not mirrored picture. If you rise your right hand, the person on the picture will too raise his right hand .. which is on the left side.
Also when you turn both normal camera & display 45 degrees .. the picture will turn 90 degrees compared to the subject. This can be really distracting and confusing when holding the device with both camera and display in your hands. And that is, I believe, the reason why Xperia (and some other similar device, I don't doubt) uses mirrored image. With that the angles does not add, but subtract .. and it acts just like a mirror.
If you have notebook with front camera, I suggest you experiment with it. Most probably the mirrored picture will not be the default, but there will be option to try it too.
If you still don't get it, take some written text, put it in front of you .. and use Xperia with front camera to read the text on the screen .. the use the second phone.
This thread is hilarious .
it not hilarious yet but it is starting to be.
lol highly amusing thread..
when you take a pic the aspect doesnt change, just where you are in it.
when the x1 is held portrait you fill the aspect, when held in landscape you dont.
this isnt a trick of the x1 its just elementary physics
think about when you take the photo in portrait it fills the screen, in landscape it still fills the screen but you appear to take up less of the space
what happens when you take a pic with keyboard open ?
im tempted to try now but dont want a punch in the ear frok the girl sitting behind me on the bus.. although i would have no objections to having a pic of her on my screen
Post of the year!
LOL this post made me laugh, great stuff.
But really, you look in a mirror and rotate it, why doesnt everythig in the mirror rotate with it?
baffled :/
Priceless.
Well the post still has it's value. Since some phones do not mirror the picture and yes, the picture really rotate (unlike mirror, unlike xperia).
Actually I have seen this for the first time, but then my experience with devices like this is minor.
I have the solution - send your phone to me to sell on ebay
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
-Bin4ry
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.
Sent from my X10i using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
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.
happened to set my epic down on my wifes camera case, which has a magnetic closure flap...the phone was asleep when i set it down, but when it got close to the magnet, the screen turned on and skipped the "drag to unlock" screen...ive tried it numerous times since, and get the same result...
anyone else experience this?
Must be like blackberries. When you pulled them out of their case the screen would turn on and when you put them back in the screen would turn off.

I remember reading about the magnetic sensor in a list of specs but this is the first time I've heard of it actually being triggered. It would be nice to see some cases that take advantage of this feature.

Hope they plan on putting out a maintenance release for that..I just installed Car Home, locked the screen and put the magnet next to it and it came on in landscape mode, but just on the home screen.

Haha all I "use" the magnet sensor for is with the Tricorder app, magnetic flux option. =P Might help to find the best spot... (I guess I'm not cool enough to have hard drive magnets at work.)
It's for the slide-out keyboard. Hold your phone in portrait and keep the magnet to the left of the LED flash. The screen will re-orient itself to landscape. Move the magnet and it will go back.

I just got my note and am having problems with auto rotate.
I ran the tests in *#0*#
It looks like they all passed fine
But sometimes mine rotates n it's own and when it rotates, it sticks in Horizontal.
I do not understand the calibration instructions for Horizontal and Gyroscope.
For instance, when it says place device on a level surface and press calibrate, does that mean just place it on it's back on a table? Also, after it is done calibrating, should the gyroscope "ball" on that page move when you move the device? Mine is always stationary.
On the horizontal calibration, how do you position the device before you hit the calibrate button? Should it be landscape or portrait?
IMO they don't explain these very well and it's confusing how to set this up.
Yes, just place it on a table or the floor. Not sure with the gyroscope since i don't have the Note yet, but i imagine the ball moves.
If this is a bug it's a software bug. All Desire HD owners including me had the auto rotate bug when it got released. These are bugs that's very common on freshly released Android devices, and it will get fixed.

Here's the question I have:
I only have 30 days for return if it's broken. Nobody else has complained about auto rotate yet and I would think that would come out pretty fast. I figured out mine had a problem 30 seconds out of the box.
Hi les_garten (another maemo/TMO refugee here!) - I've had my note for over a week, haven't seen any spontaneous rotations at all. I calibrated my gyro on day 1 though I think you don't ned to unless you are having problems. Once calibrated, the blue ball just sits in the centre of the circles, it doesn't move at all.

Thanx for that info! Mine also rotates when I turn horizontal, then won't go back into portrait.
How do you do the Horizontal calibration. Do you stand it on it's edge in landscape mode?
I'll never give Nokia another Nickel! Great idea with dismal execution.
horizontal calibration just involves sitting it flat on a flat surface. After calibration the ball can be "rolled" across both axes - like I said above, for me at least the gyro calibration screen does not allow the ball to roll at all either before or after calibration (hope that's what's supposed to happen, I've never had a phone with a gyro before, I would have assumed the ball was meant to move in response to tilt/turn ....

It will rotate Landscape, but won't return to portrait.
It wil flip Landscape on one side and Landscapeon the other side, but won't do portrait, till auto rotate is turned off.

I guess I could whack it and start over, but that blows! That would at least tell me something I guess.
It's really irritating. And I would hate to keep it if it is broke.

Very happy now!
i just got a galaxy note 3 weeks ago and it is running gingerbread 2.3.6
i have the same problem for the auto rotation problem, when i test the gyro and horizontal calibration, the ball doesnt move or move in a very laggy motion, when i lever my phone to a certain angle in all direction, the ball will not move in some area of the display. i had calibrated once before it has this problem, the ball move smoothly in any angle...now my message will auto rotate to landscape while i holding it in potrait...please help
I can't actually help fix anything - but if you enter *#0*# in the dialer and then select "sensor" from the LCD tests, then "image test" (under accelerometer sensor) you'll get a picture of a dog whichshould rotate between portrait & landscape as you rotate the phone, and there is an overlayed real time display of x and y axis angles as registered by the accelerometer.
This test should at least show whether the h/w is working or not.

Yes, I've noticed the same. I wonder if the bug has already been submitted.
I can also confirm that it has happened on mine as well. It happens sometimes when I wake the phone.
Yes... I've been having the same issue. Doesn't happen too often, but it is rather annoying. Seems if I just rotate the device about 3/4 of a turn it will go back to normal. I thought maybe it was a faulty accelerometer, but hopefully it's just a software bug that will be fixed sooner or later.
Same here. Does not want to come back to portrait, needs to go to landscape shake to go back to normal...

+1 for this issue. Sometimes, when I launch a game its stuck in potrait mode. Only way to fix it is to exit the game rotate the screen to Landscape and relaunch it.
xdaniel91: There's a setting under "Display tweaks" called "Allow all rotations." I just checked the box next to this setting. I might have had to reboot.
Cataclysm has a similar setting under "Miscellaneous" called "Upside-down rotation."

There's a tiny gyroscope chip on the main board. Contained inside it is a plate (critical mass) with contacts underneath that moves/slides on top of the chip's contacts. When you rotate the phone, the plate actually moves inside the tiny chip, and from there the x,y,z axis is calculated. In my best hillbilly mechanic voice "yer plate got stuck".

Mine has been getting stuck but dont think its the plate. Of course it began happening when I switched rom, flashed new bootloader, vendor AND started using a new launcher.
Fairly confident its not the launcher because no one else is complaining. Hitting/dropping the phone doesnt fix it but toggling auto rotate does. Ive tried every variation of set rotations in the settings of the rom and launcher but this has persisted over a week. Whats frustrating is itll go hours without the glitch (thinking its fixed) then it gets stuck in landscape.
Thats my boring story. If anyone has a fix please share. Thanks
