I'm sorry if this is on the forums somewhere but I tried searching for it and didn't come up with anything...

Anyways, I am wondering if there is a way to permanently rotate the screen to landscape mode? You can set right-handed landscape from Screen in the System settings but it doesn't save it! As soon as you open and close the keyboard it resets to portrait... also many other modes switch it as well.... is there a way to keep it in landscape?

Thanks in advance

I have a program called Quickmenu installed. It is a very amazing program that is ridiculously customizable. You can use it to replace the startmenu, free up memory, etc. Anyway, it has in it the ability to ratate the screen, and it sticks after bringing the keyboards in and out. I created a shortcut of this ability, using a function built into Quickmenu, and mapped it to one of my buttons. It allows me to switch to landscape and back to normal with a push of a button, GREAT for when you are watching video.

I have and use QuickMenu, and would be interested to know how you did that. Could you post instructions and/or the shortcut? I think a lot of people would find that useful.

I've been looking for a solution like this since June when I first got this phone. I just tried quickmenu, but it does not stick.

post I read somewhere says there's a magnet that trips when u open and close phone that automatically sets orientation... I guess there's no way to do it perm.

Get into the Quickmenu options, go to the Command tab, and go all the way to the bottom. Select H-V Switch, and then hit create shortcut. Save it to the "Windows>Start Menu>Programs" folder. Then go to Start> Settings> Buttons and map one of the buttons to launch "Quickmenu H-V Switch".

Cool, that works great, thanks!

There is a program called landscaper that will sense that the screen has been rotated and re-rotate it to the desired orientation. I believe that someone over at XDA created it, but its been posted many times. This may use useful then pressing a button
