Problem: touch pro landscape mode not working

So i went to use my phone today and saw that when I tilt the phone sideways it doesnt go into landscape mode. Only when I slide the keyboard out.

I did a hard Reset and it still is not working. Anyone have an idea what happen?

DUDE!!!!!!! The phone only goes into landscape mode when you til it in opera browser. Otherwise unless you're using gyrator 2 the acceleromete only works in opera. So your phone is fine.

The accelerometer isn't enabled everywhere. You need a program like Gyrator 2 to make it work.

Re: Problem: touch pro landscape mode not working

Apps works in landscape im talking about the main screen.

Here are the steps . If im looking at the main screen on the phone and i turn the phone on its side. the screen stays the same and doesn't go into landscape mode unless i pull the keyboard out. Up until this afternoon it would go into landscape mode once i turned the phone

Re: Problem: touch pro landscape mode not working

you must have been running an application* that made it do that as the stock rom doesn't do that. good luck

Re: Problem: touch pro landscape mode not working

Oh, it CAN be viewed in landscape if you want, but not stock as is.

There's apps* that can rotate the screen for you on command, or have it set screens, such as home, to landscape. But natively, stock, out of the box, my phone doesn't rotate the home screen. Only opera does that out of the box.

I used gyrator 2, and that rotated everything lol - which is a problem :P

Re: Problem: touch pro landscape mode not working

This is so strange mine rotated out the box. I never installed any program like that. It just stopped working last nite so i did a hard reset and then it started working again . Now it seems to have stopped once again . why would mine do that?

Re: Problem: touch pro landscape mode not working

Well, that is interesting. Don't know what to tell you but if you're sure, then I believe you. I know i've had interesting things happen to me and people don't believe me! So i'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

But if you want to rotate it, search for the gyrator 2 thread on here hahaha. A lot of people complain, but if you take the time and figure it out, it'll do cool stuff for you.
