Android issues

The home screen doesn't rotate.. Never has.. And never will unless they make it to where it does.

This is true of the mighty iPhone too, no? Also, with the shade I wouldn't want it to rotate. Further, if I put widgets on the home screens wouldn't they get all frigged up if you tried to rotate it?

I'll admit I don't know if these are the right answers as I don't own the iPhone and have yet to own an Android based phone but I don't see what the big deal is.

No because the home screen will rotate WITH the keyboard open. None of my widgets get messed up, but the background looks a bit weird.

I don't see a need or a reason for the home screen to rotate.

Not a big deal really, but I read on another thread on this forum that turning that orientation option OFF allowed the home screen to rotate.

So if you haven't already, try both the on/off options just to make sure.

I don't really see much of a need to rotate the home screen, but I wouldn't complain if it was added as an option.

Also, when testing if the screen rotates, make sure to hold the phone so that the screen is facing out/vertical (not directly up or down) because you know that rotation sensor doesnt work well at all when phones are level/flat.

The home screens did rotate into landscape mod until a few days ago. they must have sent something down to change it. check the video out on the motorola page if you dont believe me. mine did it and hundreds more. now it will no go into landscape mode for the home screen, phone, contacts
