The OS rotates fine so that any edge can be the bottom (or top, depending on how you visualize it) but apps that lock into either portrait or landscape mode use either the HDMI edge or the POGO edge as the bottom and I can't find a way to change this. With a pogo charging cable finally available, I'd like to be able to set my Nexus 10 on a stand with the pogo port on top but that doesn't work with apps that force landscape mode because they are determined to have the pogo port on the bottom.
It seems like the OS should have an option for flipping the tablet's default orientations so apps that want to force landscape or portrait modes can at least be flipped within those modes. Am I missing something obvious?

I have the acer iconia a500 and a samsung monitor with pivot function. if i plug in the hdmi cable i would like to use the tablet in portrait mode, but i found no way. have anybody an idea how to use the tablet in portrait mode if it is plugged to the monitor.
YES
My samsung tv does this also.. GO into the settings of the Monitor/ tv.. there is a toggle to change this in there... You cant do it from the tablet. unless you try the Rotation lock app in the marker.. That could work thou i have not tried it...
thanks for the fast answer. i have a picture attached so you can see how i use my computer monitor. in the monitor settings i can't change nothing. and using a rotating lock app have no effect. the tablet turns every time into landscape...
more ideas??
I am trying to play a game on my android phone that is connected my tv via mhl to hdmi adapter. However, the game appears rotated 90 degrees on my TV screen. I believe that is because the developer decided to lock the orientation in portrait mode and then program the graphics and controls as if the user was looking at the screen in landscape mode. Is there anyway to tell the HDMI adapter that the phone is actually in landscape mode even though it was set portrait mode? Thank you for any suggestions.
I'm am having a display issue with my gs5 and appradio. When connected, the screen switches to landscape mode but it chops a little off the top(I lose the app draw icon on the right) and about 1/4 off the bottom. Enough that I lose the bottom row of icons....(only with the home screens, in apps it's fine)
Any idea how to fix this? I've looked through all the settings on both the phone and HU with no luck.
I have also tried a couple different launchers - stock TW, Nova, and Go.... all do the same thing (although varying amounts)
Is there a way to force the nexus 10 to use a specific orientation while using an app that controls the screen orientation?
I have a thermal sensor (seek thermal) that uses the otg port. The software and sensor are listed as not running on the n10 (google play doesn't allow n10 to download. Not compiled for n10 specifically) , so I forced an install. The thermal sensor and software work great, but with the screen orientation /rotation is reported wrong to the software. The software detects/displays it in landscape mode when it is actually portrait and displays it as portrait when it is held in landscape. The thermal sensor is on an otg cable, so I can place it in any position. The sensor does not not influence the orientation problem. Since the software was made for phones, I think this may be related. The software detects it is poitioned at the opposite orientation than it actuall is. I've tried locking the screen rotation. No luck. The app flips the display even with the screen rotation locked.
It's not really usable in this position. Think of it as walking or driving with every word, sign or scene sideways. The text and controls are always sideways. I need to be able to flip the display (+/-) 90 degrees so the display shows the actual environment.
Is there an app or setting I can adjust to pass/report the actual screen orientation to the thermal sensor app?
System = n10 2012 running lollipop. 2 years with the n10 and have never seen an app that had this problem.
Thanks for any help!

On my N10 I'm using an app call "Set Orientation" which has an number of screen orientation controls. I specifically use it to allow landscape mode with the pogo connector pointed up (don't ask). I'm not sure if it provides what your looking for but it may be worth a try.

Hello,
the E-Ink display is perfect for a navigation program, if I drive a motorbike, but there are many problems. Maybe it is already solved by other users.
If I start it as E-Ink-App, the display is only in Portrait mode, but my holder is horizontal.
If I start it with Yota Mirror, the display is going to Energy Saving after a short time. It is not possible, to switch it on again, while driving.
Does anybody know, how to use a navigation program in Landscape mode on the E-Ink display?

I have changed the holder for the yotaphone to vertical now.
