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.

as u know, athena support portrait mode. Unfortunately, the USB port is blocked by my car holder in portrait mode.
I have no way to charge it.
is there any way i can turn portrait mode upside down again?
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??
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?
Kind of a weird question, but why when I record video in landscape mode, I can't "watch it" in landscape mode? If I turn the phone sideways it goes to portrait, in order to watch it in landscape, I gotta turn the phone upright, and turn my head sideways. It's weird. Am I missing a setting or something?
Update. When I transfer the video to my PC, I get the exact same result as well. Anyone else have this issue or is it just me?
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.
