11-10-2009 08:04 AMI think this is in the programming, mine does not do this either. If I slide out the keyboard it goes into landscape mode.

I had read somewhere else that this was an intentional thing. When you are looking at the home screen it is supposed to be easier if you are in portrait mode than in landscape mode. But if the keyboard is out it is forced to switch so you can read stuff.

11-10-2009 01:48 PMHome screen WILL NOT rotate via auto-rotate. It will only rotate when the physical keyboard is opened.

11-10-2009 01:50 PMI do think this is something they are changing though, a simple feature such as auto-rotate should work on the home screen. It's not like the home screen can't rotate, it' just not set for auto-rotate, which would be a very simple fix.
Resistance is futile.

11-10-2009 01:57 PMWell it has been this way since 1.1 so not sure if they are planning on making it a separate option because I wouldn't want my home screen to auto-rotate, but I like the other apps that do.
Only time will tell... -

11-10-2009 02:02 PMIt should at least be an option in the settings menu to allow for auto-rotate for home screen for those who want it.

11-10-2009 02:08 PMmay cause a problem when a call comes through. That was a big issue with the Storm. Screen would freak out and the user would have to chase the "answer key" all over the place. (the hard send key didn't always work)
Maybe the OS can't handle all that info at once so they left it out? I don't know.....
I don't care one way or another though. I've adapted to it.
