Hello all,
I'm the proud owner of the HTC Magic on Vodafone UK. I'm loving the Android.
I have to say that after 5 days of owning this device I'm only left scratching my head on one point.... the auto-orientation of the home screen.
I've seen videos of rooted G1's running the hacked 1.5 firmware and the recently posted video of the Samsung i7500 with the 1.5 firmware all CLEARLY show that when the device is on home screen, the desktop (read home screen) auto-rotates depending on the orientation of the device. The Samsung video shows it working in ALL FOUR orientations!
This doesn't happen on my Magic
. Flip the orientation in an application? Works fine. Flip it back in an application? Works fine. Do it on the home screen? I'm craning my neck like a love sick puppy.
Am I missing something? Is this a feature that is disabled in the offical 1.5 Cupcake release? If that's the case - fine with me. I'll stop scratching my head and move on.
Look forward to a response from someone wiser than I.
Iain
