    Mine autorotated with the stock home for the first two days after I got it, and then stopped, never to do so again. I thought I was going crazy, but it seems to have happened to a number of people.

    I use home++ now, which autorotates fine.

    I'll agree it is strange. Mine auto rotated on the home screen, as well.

    Never really like seeing it flip back and forth all the time, so I disabled it.

    After I started installing some apps the home screen stopped changing even if enabled again.

    I'm usually the first one to be skeptical when I see threads like this, but I've experienced this one first hand.

    Strange.

    Stock (non rooted) Droid, with no home replacement, has not and does not rotate to landscape on the home screen with keyboard closed (it has to be open).

    This topic has been floating around since launch, and despite asking many times by many different people, no one has EVER provided video proof of this. A picture is too easy to doctor.

    Yep, easy to do that photo. Just open the keyboard, close it and take a quick photo. There is a bit of lag before it rotates back.
