Which tablet do you have? My Acer a500 has a switch that can lock the screen orientation to the desired position. There are also a few apps in the play store that can lock it in as well.

Are you using custom launcher. I use nova launcher and you can force portrait by going into nova settings>look and feel>screen orientation>force portrait. I think most of the launchers have this feature.

[Q] landscape vs. portrait

Hell all,
I am running 2.2 on my streak [flashed using QDLtool at streakdroid.com] my question is is there a way for portrait view to be set as the default? When you click settings > display > and check the box for auto rotate screen, it keeps the screen in landscape mode.
Anyone know if its possible to have portrait mode be set as default? Thanks guys.
I tried many screen rotate apps but they just not working for streak since streak was default set in landscape mode.
Not until I use an app call Go Launcher, it can lock it in protrait mode. My streak works like a charm now.
You have to leave auto orientation on to use portrait on the streak. Can't make it portrait only unfortunately.

You have to rotate your phone to portrait. Then disable the auto rotate screen.

Landscape Lock for Mini Pro

I've been looking for an app or way to lock the orientation of my Mini Pro in landscape mode even if the keyboard is not out, AND even if i have my phone standing in portrait.
i know there's an automatic orientation sensor that switches it to landscape if I tilt the phone, but I want the orientation to be ALWAYS in landscape.
any app? i would really appreciate it.
THANKS guys!

thanks will check it.
UPDATE: unfortunately, its giving me forceclose errors when doing it in landscape. works fine online in portrait
installed custom ROM? adw has its that kind of option under system preferences.
adw can lock its landscape mode no problem, but only the homescreen. i want the LockScreen to be in permanent landscape too. I tried WidgetLocker for the Lock Screen but it works in portrait only and it forcecloses when i try it in landscape. weird.
i dont have custom rom. my phone is rooted though.

Go Launcher - Auto Rotate Redraws Widgets/Icons

Hello,
I am using Go Launcher on Galaxy Note and it appears to redraw/reload all widgets and icons on the home screen if I rotate the screen i.e while going from Landscape to Potrait Mode and vice versa , all widgets/icons reload.
While rotating applications , this does not happen.
Anybody having this issue with Go Launcher?

Yes, Same issue with me (HTC salsa).
Generally I am not using landscape mode. I always uses portrait mode.
If you want disable Landscape mode, then download Smart Rotator and set Go launcher as Portrait. Which will not rotate your home screen if you interested so.
Hi.
This is not a problem. It is natural to happen.
It has to do with devise display resolution.
My resolution is 540 x 960 pixels in Evo 3D so when i fleep the divise,
the resolution changes is 960 x 540 so the Go Launchers have to rearange the widgets and the icons to adapt and fit to the new resolution.

Landscape mode is the default orientation on the galaxy view. Do you mean portrait mode? Is this the fix to switch the orientation to portrait, that we have all been waiting for?
