The screen WON'T stay in landscape mode

Hi everyone, for some reason that i can't understand, my wizard won't stay in landscape mode after i have selected the option in the Screen Setting; or at least it does, but when i close the keyboard it resumes the portrait mode, and the setting is changed back to portrait as well!
I really can't figure this one out, and i'd love if anyone could help me
Thanks to everyone willing to help
Ive been looking for this since i got a wizard

[Q] Compass wrong in portrait mode.

Hi, a few days ago I noticed than when I'm holding my Dell Streak in portrait mode, the compass is completely off. When in landscape mode, it's spot on.
I understand that the Streak is designed as a landscape device, but is there any way to "recalibrate" my compass so it's correct in portrait?

[Q] Possible to change screen orientation while docked?

Is it possible to rotate the screen while the TF is docked? Auto-rotate appears to be disabled, such that even if the setting is enabled, the screen will not rotate when turned. If I lock the screen in anything but the "right-side-up" landscape mode prior to docking, it just reverts when placed in the dock. I am looking for the ability to have the screen locked in "upside-down" landscape mode when docked.
Odd as this may sound, if it is not possible, this may be a deal-breaker with me and my new TF. I am in the Navy on a submarine and I want to mount the TF upside down in my rack (bed) above me so that it turns in to flip-down screen that I can stream movies from my external hd. Any ideas?
I read in one post that the auto-rotate was disabled while docked in the most recent update, can anyone confirm this? I will be willing to revert or run a custom rom if this feature is possible in another version.
I am running the latest stock 3.1 update. Thanks in advance.
auto rotate did used to work for me while docked before the last update. Not a big deal really but one thing I noticed.
Thanks, but I can't get the screen to rotate while docked no matter what version I try.
Flashed to Prime 1.5 since it was based on the previous 8.4.4.5 - no go.
Flashed to stock 8.4.4.5 - still a no go.
I ensured auto-rotate was enabled when docked, and it would not rotate.
I locked the screen "upside-down" and then docked, but it still reverted back.
If the previous version allowed this, any ideas on what i m doing wrong?
Can anyone else confirm that their screen rotated while docked?
Is there any mod that can enable this feature?
I too would appreciate a way of changing the orientation while docked or while locked to a certain orientation by an application.

[Q] Reverse Portrait and Landscape Modes

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.

Android Wear 2 / LG Sport Watch. Screen orientation

Anyone knows if it is possible to turn off the screen rotation feature in Android Wear 2 or is this a special LG feature?
It's not the "Tilt to wake up" and stuff like that, it's just that it rotates the screen all the time when I move my arm, would love to have it stuck in one orientation.
Edit
I did a factory reset of the watch and Android Wear app on the phone, now the screen rotation stays the same on my arm but rotates correctly in the charging cradle.
