re download from market and check
hit thanks

thats not the issue by default all landscape apps are opening in portrait and vice versa,
even the long press on the widget rotates the screen can not move or resize widgets

I had the same problem yesterday, you're using the latest version of Apex launcher right? After I went to an earlier build everything worked as it should. Apex updates have been a bit rough lately cuz they seem to brake something when something new is implemented.

Only Portrait mode

Hello,
I was wondering myself if its possible the run the dell streak forced to portrait mode. Do you know any possibility to do that? When you turn off autorotation, the streak is always in landscape...
Thank you very much and sorry for my bad english,
Mehmet

Use adw.launcher and select persistant mode.

I use the latest ADW Launcher EX with StreakDroid 1.8.1 and the "Only Portrait" mode doesn't work. It stays in landscape mode when enabled.
ADW Launcher bug?
And is it possible to put the whole Streak (not only ADW) in portrait mode?
On 1.8.1 I could do it ONLY with LauncherPro. Both built-in launcher and ADW don`t rotate to Portrait.
ADW Launcher EX does it, but only when set to "Auto Rotate" ... Not in "only portrait" ...
Use "go launcher ex" and uncheck rotation, it works fine for me
I don't wanna use another launcher.

does the streak remain ALWAYS, with all applications, in portrait mode?
No, of course not. It is just for launcher, not for the whole system.
I too want to use my Dell portrait only. I tried landscape, but the system just don't use it, I mean it will be useful if for example messages looks like on iPad (on left list of messages, on right preview), but how it is right now, you just see less information with landscape. Plus holding it with one hand in landscape is bit hazard for me (in public transport). I hope somebody will find solution.
And, no, really, unchecking the automatic rotation of screen when having it in portrait doesn't work. It works with other Android devices but not for Dell Streak (for no reason).
Hi,
I've been seeing the forum threads for portrait mode on the Dell Streak but all have just options for the launcher reorientation.
I have currently locked the system to landscape only since its extremely bothersome when the system is on auto rotate and it rotates by 180 degrees. However even with this, there are apps like Astrid tasks, etc which have some of their screens in portrait - which is a bit irritating...
With the landscape mode its not possible to try an operate the device with one hand. In the portrait mode it is a bit more easier to reach with the thumb across the screen to the opposite side corners and by sliding the hand down the entire screen can be accessed with a single hand when you have to.
Is there some mode where the full system can be made completely in portrait? Of course its understandable that select apps like Klondike, etc will run only on their default landscape mode but is there nothing that can be done for the rest of the system? Something that can probably just be included as a command in the install.txt file for Streakdroid packages perhaps?
I run Streakdroid 1.9.0 and love the new Stage UI. Not particularly impressed with ADW or LauncherPro.
Thanks in advance.

Slow home page from keyboard switch

I've been experiencing slow home page icon when I'm in landscape mode (keyboard).
When I close the keyboard, it takes about 6 seconds before the icons show up. Before the icons you see the background only.
Don't know if it may be a program I installed or an app using the memory?

same here, any luck?
Still having the same issue. I check appls running in background but couldn't see anything out of norm. I can't believe no one else is having this issue.
Help!

i just use adw and make it system persistent meaning it will not rotate, for some reason the home screen was the absolute worst application to rotate and so i decided it shouldn't need to. try it out and see which bugs you more, slow rotation or no rotation
mine rotates to home screen completely fine and fast. The issue is when I am in landscape mode (with the keyboard) and I close the keyboard to go back to portrait, it rotates but the icons/widgets does not show until 5-10 seconds later. it shows the background only.

[Q] Landscape mode on homescreen xperia play

Is this possible? I hate having to keep my phone held upright while on my homescreen, is there anyway to let the phone automatically go into landscape mode when you turn it and hold it as if the gamepad is out? Yes i know there are other programs you can get to change your homescreen which allow this but i don't really want to do that. Help.
Update:
I noticed today on IGN they were doing a preview on the Play and the phone he was using supported landscape mode on the home screen. How is this possible? Is it because it's a new version of the software on the American phones?
Here's the link

Turn it on in your "accessibility" settings. I think that's where it is. Should be a setting for "auto rotate".
Or check the notification area for the rectangle with two semicircular arrows
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
just swipe down from the top to see your notifications.There is a toggle right there to unlock rotation.
I tried everything but still not responding !!!
Shall I return it or try to fix it ?

Try opening an app and see if it rotates in that.
Thing is, even when you unlock rotation, the home screens won't rotate - made me think it was faulty too when I first got mine. You need a third party launcher if you want home screens to rotate to landscape.
If even in apps it won't rotate, then maybe it's faulty.

Swipe down your notification bar, to the right of the date is a lock with two arrows circling it. Press that and the lock will change shape.
Now all apps that support it will change orientation, the home screen does NOT support this. To rotate the home screen you will need to download a new launcher from the play store.
Test that rotation is working with a stock app like YouTube, not all third party apps are coded to rotate.

I opened all apps and still not responding !!
I did rest factory ,.. nothing change
I recommend Apex or Nova for a launcher. I am partial to Nova right now but both of them are top notch. Everything rotates beautifully now. Make sure to do what they said and also don't forget to check in the launcher settings as there is an option there too.
Cheers!
Thanks for responds !!
But it still not working , I'm going to return it back

Forced Landscape rotation?

Can anybody tell me a landscape rotation app that is compatible with the note 3 touchwiz. Because in home screen when in forced landscape mode using apps from playstore, the proportion is bugged.

Oh thank gawd! I'm not the only one! I too am having this issue (tmus) and posted that question today there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590080
Basically I was using "Ultimate Rotation Control" and it works great on all my previous galaxies but on the Note 3 it looks like the icon and widgets are trying to stay in a forced portrait mode. However my background image looks fine, go figure.
However you can change your launcher to GoLauncher and that should work for you just fine. I prefer GoLauncher myself because it has a calendar widget that none of the other launchers seem to have.
Hopefully the makers of URC fix their app because its not working now.
Not to my knowledge.
If you change to Apex, Nova or another launcher, though, you'll have that as an option amongst plenty of others... Not to mention less resource usages.
