Wondering if anyone knows a way to force the lockscreen into landscape?
I mount the XZU in landscape in my car and I can force the device to landscape for everything I need but if it turns off, it comes back into a portrait lockscreen.
Any way to do this?

have you tried Adaptive Rotation Lock from the market? it forces my Note 2 lockscreen into landscape. however i don't think it works on the Galaxy S4, so i guess it depends on the device..
Worked great, thanks! I needed to reboot to get it to work.
I'm glad to know this works on the Ultra Z as I ponder getting the device myself

I'm enjoying the XZU greatly and this was one of very few stumbling blocks. Using this app, just ensure that the "lock screen on portrait" option is unchecked and that "auto start" is checked them give it reboot after install and setup.

Cool, I'm hoping the U.S. Sony stores will get the C6806 model in so I can go actually see it and see just how big it is, and if it would fit in my pocket lol.

I'm glad it's working for you guys, it's a nice app with a simple interface. Good idea too ^ getting rid of the icon by supporting the developer

Whenever I set a wallpaper on my tab, after rotating and going back to landscape the background goes blank on half the screen. If I then rotate to portrait and back it resets but it's getting very irritating when this happens. Anyone else getting this or have any idea how to cure it? I even tried turning auto rotate off but still no luck. I also tried other wallpaper apps like wizardrii. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue on a certain rom and kernel combo.. Not sure which it was cause I have re-flashed both since then..
thanks for quick reply, sorry should of stated my tab is totally standard touchwiz with no mods.
I'm in the same boat here... I thought I found a fix the other day. I just disabled the screen rotation so my screen stayed in landscape. Worked for about a day or so.
I don't know much on how Honeycomb handles setting wallpapers but i get the feeling it has something to do with that wierd crop function Honeycomb uses.
I use ADWex as my launcher and it still dose it.
I did notice that on my eVo4g (running Gingerbread 2.3.5, using ADWex) that when I turn my eVo from portrait to landscape the wallpaper doesn't resize or reposition its self near as nice as on Honeycomb(when it works like it's supposed to). So much so that I started just using an all black wallpaper.
Most likely its something that can be fixed with some kind of a matinace update. I haven't gottin around to rooting Tab yet to see if it happens on other rooms, and maybe I can get around to it next week.

My wallpaper stopped rotating even though I set it to auto. I flashed the ROM I was using without doing a factory reset first and it got it working again
I had this problem to. Try using Wallpapyrus or Live Multi Wallpaper(wich i use now).
Never had that problem nomore.
Hi there - is it possible to force the landscape option without plugging in the HDMI? I have a cradle that has the phone on its side due to the retarded layout of the ports from Sony I'd like not to have to twist my head to read it while it is in the dock....
Are you rooted?
Rotate to landscape, disable auto rotation.

Can be if needed, not needed to so far.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're asking about the landscape mode in the homescreen?
On my arc I remember someone created a theme that had this option in it but I don't know if the same exists for the XS

That is exactly correct - sorry I just realised this isn't clear. All things that are meant to be widescreen work fine (email, Music player etc...). But I feel a bit daft having a portrait phone docked on its side at my desk.
I may be able to help you out, but its a bit of a workaround. I have been playing with the different display modes and noticed the launcher does auto rotate, but only under some weird circumstances.
One that may help you is that if you activate car mode, then hit back until you return to the launcher, the launcher auto rotates.
So, how do you launch car mode? Well, I published this this morning

Get an NFC sticker from somewhere like rapidnfc.com, code it up to be an Xperia SmartTag (see the accessories forum for details) and have discovery of the tag launch the app "Car Mode On". Stick it to your dock and you are golden.
On a related note, if anyone knows how to activate dock mode programatically, I would be very grateful.

To help with coding up a tag, I wrote this today. I published it about 20 minutes ago
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vexedbadger.smarttagmaker
Perhaps the simplest NFC app ever?
If you want to dabble with NFC, its a good place to start.
I dont know what happened but my Galaxy S3 can tilt from Portrait to landscape while in Homescreen this morning.
But now when I tried it again it does not do it anymore, I did not restart the phone or anything. I'm on stock TW and not rooted.
Am I missing something here why I cant do it anymore? Take note that currently the screen rotation is still turned on.
I had the same issue on samsung tab and have been said by the samsung tech team to recalibrate the tab , tried it and got it resloved.
got the issue again after tried the stap again no luck, tech guys said I need to do a factory rest and that fixed the issue.
Hi mate, currently in my case my homescreen is still in portrait mode . But I'm just wondering why can i adjust it a while ago to landscape mode while I'm in home screen but now I cant.
The only difference is I'm connected to my wifi router a while ago and now I'm not connected to it.
Take note that I did not use any MHL adapter (I read somewhere else that using MHL will enable that functionality).
Hmm. maybe a bug. But that was cool

When you say the 'issue' is the issue that it was rotating or that it wasn't? Is the homescreen supposed to rotate? I'm trying to decide if I should get a GS3 or a GNex today and I'm not familiar with how touch wiz normally operates.
What do you mean by Homescreen? The screen you get when you have unlocked the phone? If so then mine has never tilted into landscape mode and is always in Portrait, is this not suppose to be the case?
@Claytop
Yes mate. But right now it's not going to landscape anymore. Don't know why. I guess its a bug. hmmm

sorry for my ignorance, I never saw the default homescreen rotate in landscape mode. but in the tab both default homescreen and application homescreen rotate.
can other users confirm if the default homescreen tilt/rotate in landscape mode??
I am going ok with the touchwiz if you need a faster response probably you need to root and put in some good rom.

I believe that's the normal operation in the homescreen because no one replied experiencing same scenario I mentioned
Iv installed a sikipedia widget and when i click it the home screen goes to landscape mode...
would very much like to have this as a standard.
It's better to factory reset the device. If u still face the issue, try going with roms. It may get better.

Been trying to find a solution for this, but no luck so far.
I installed CM10 on my tab today (wifi) and everything seems solid, but for some reason, the lockscreen is always in landscape mode, even when I am holding the device in portrait. I have autorotate on, and the screen properly rotates when I am using the device, but in the lockscreen, it is stuck in landscape mode.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thank you
buummmpppp. anyone with some info or a solution?

Had the same problem with (the otherwise perfect rom!) and found not so much a sollution but a kinda a "brute" workaround:
Look in GP for an app called "Ultimate Rotation Control". I gives you rotation control over as good as any application on your tablet, including the lockscreen.
It works great for me although the app itself seems to stay in the background (but I did not notice any lag due to it). Also it seems you 'll have to pay for it since it has a 7 days timer on it (not sure what happens after the trial but I bet it'll ask you to get a license for 1,99 EUR)
In short:
It does the job, but it seems a little overkill for thisproblem
Hi.
Just got one of the Z Pros today, it did a couple of OTA updates got it all set up, but it now randomly switches the screen to Landscape for all apps.
Only way to get it back to portrait seems to be to reboot it. Anyone else found this and is there a way around this, really annoying and will be going back if cant be sorted.
This happend to me today after 5 days of having the phone, I just used the orientation toggle on the drop down menu to fix it
