Auto-Rotation

I'm about 99% positive that the homescreen DOES NOT rotate without the keyboard open unless you have a different home app like pandahome. I've yet to see it rotate the stock homescreen on stock, CL14, or 2.1.

I agree. I have seen it auto-rotate in PandaHome and Open Home but never in the stock Home.

you guys could be right. I am wrong every now and then. it really doesn't matter I guess, but it's kind of annoying... it seems like I remember it turning sideways cause I was using the virtual keyboard on the google search bar.

I had thought maybe it was just a weird malfunction. I have a problem with my virtual keyboard making stroke sounds. if I go to the menu>settings>sound and display and audible touch tones is unchecked, yet my virtual keyboard is making keystrokes. I turn it on, then back off again and the keyboard no longer makes sounds when I use it. if I turn the phone off and on again, the virtual keyboard makes the sounds again, and I have to go through this process to change it. I was hoping the home screen problem was similar, but evidently not.

either way, I have downloaded advanced launcher, which I like so far, and it fixed the home screen problem so...

If you are using the Android Keyboard then go to Settings -> Language & Keyboard -> Android Keyboard Settings -> Sound on Keypress.

I'm on 2.1 right now so the locations could be slightly different, but the option should still be there in 1.5.

no, the option is there, but I have to check it and uncheck it like three times before it actually applies the settings.
