Screen orientation frustration.

Pretty annoyed at how frequent I need the screen to go to landscape mode and its stuck portrait and vice versa.

Any tips?

Possible some toggle widget that forces screen orientation to flip? Or calibration? or...practice?

Go to Setting and Display and make sure Auto-Rotate Scrren is checked. If that does not work, I would reboot the beast.

Oh, yea. It's checked alright.

rebooting= definitely returned back to it's speedy self.

I think the total time up was 15h, charged through out the day.
Anyone else have to do a nightly reboot routine for maximum EVO efficiency XD

Re: Screen orientation frustration.

But you do have something of conflicting going on. Make note when it reoccurs and it will. There are some unruly apps floating around the maket.

Still going strong today after the last reboot. I am very impressed by battery life too.
