Is anyone elses phone not flipping back and forth from portrait to landscape view when they rotate the phone? Ive check the settings and it is set to change orientation when phone rotates but for some reason it is not doing it.

Any suggestions welcome. Thank you in advance.
 
it does not go to landscape while in sense.....on when you are in programs that use it like email, pics, browser, etc....

Where is the setting for Sense? Also, do I really want to turn sense off?? I don't think I do.

Basically....my phone no longer goes into landscape mode for anything....internet browsing or any text fields. It did yesterday but I have played around with it and not sure what I did that turned "off" the landscape view. Thanks for the help.

mine rotates whichever way i turn it, i know this because sometimes a go and try to click the trackpad thing and I have rotated it the wrong way and its on the left....but my screen is still in landscape...

Are you sure? Found my readings on this and testing on Droids and Incredible and the two incredibles I got yesterday Android OS devices seem to only go into landscape in one direction.

Settings -> Sound and Display -> Orientation

verify the box is checked.

Same thing for me, found quick fix. I soft reset the phone. The only way I know of manually soft resetting the phone is by doing a *228, option 1, then once its done programming, it soft resets. Now my landscape orientation is working for text and browsing, unlike before. Hope this helps. Anyone else know how to soft reset quicker, just in case?

I am no longer sure...LOL..because I just tried the browser and it only rotates the one way.....i swear there is some application where it rotates whatever way i want it to because remember trying to hit the track pad and my (right) thumb being at the top of the phone.....

My phone is stuck in Landscape in certain programs -- it will start out in portrait mode like in the browser for example, then I can change to Landscape. Cool. However, it won't go back to portrait :(

I have orientation checked in my settings and I have soft reset multiple times.

I'm starting to think it may be an app I downloaded... Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Could very well be an app interfering with the orientation or accelerometer settings. A "hard" reset of the device would most likely fix it, however I would first try removing any "settings" or profile-changing applications and resetting your device to see if that fixes the problem.
