And everything was so nice and smooth, on a new FULL RAM version by BUZZ, AND suddenly screen got all messed up. I have had the same issue and heared that some of you had it before as well. UNFORTUNATELY it hasn't been fixed.
I was reading my Lessons in .PDF using Adobe PDF Reader For PPC in LANDSCAPE MODE, and suddenly it told me NOT ENOUGH MEMMORY, got back to RESCO EXPLORER, and freezed. I have done a soft reset, everything went back to normal, it's just ALL THE ONSCREEN BUTTONS STAYED IN THE LANDSCAPE MODE, AND THE ACTUAL SCREEN IN A PORTRAIT MODE.
Now that is very annoying, but i learned to PRESS START, SCROL DOWN using a navigation keys, GET TO SETTINGS, AND CHANGE SCREEN TO "LANDSCAPE MODE AGAIN" , RESTART, AND YOU ARE BACK ON TRACK.
thisis a very annoying issue, but we are going to have to live with it coz WE LOVE OUR MAGNETO....
Avoiding the problem
Dear,
Mine too. My quick solution to this is to aviod soft-resets in landscape mode
Cheers,
This is my solution

It seems that a new landscape mode app was included in the new update. Is there a chance I could get that apk ripped?

Is there no way to get it?
This drives me absoulty bonkers, that the phone doesn't turn landscape. I can understand they don't want to program the widgets to do that. But all I want is one screen while I'm at work that will turn landscape that will give me some basic info. Mainly email and a couple of widgets. This is my biggest frustation with this phone.
I would like to get this apk too. I have a stock rom, first OTA update and nothing for landscape mode installed. I had my phone in some weird mode after plugging in a car charger. The car dock app came up and when I hit the home button, I got the home screen. Turned the phone landscape and the home screen turn landscape. Every screen was able to turn to landscape now but when I made a call, the speaker phone enabled automatically. My phone was this way even after killing the car dock app. I thought there was some update to allow landscape but after pulling the battery, no more auto speaker phone (what I wanted) but the landscape mode was gone too. Has anyone else seen this?
I've have the same basic problem with P3's Pre-Rooted 2.3.3 all along and I'd love to fix it (especially since it's supposed to work in DX2's stock 2.3.3). It's never worked for me (I always got a black screen (no input recognized) when plugged into HDTV since the Gingerbread update). I later enabled portrait mode only by editing the build.prop line "ro.hdmi.mirror.enable=TRUE" (where it was false). As is well-known though, this DOES NOT allow landscape (the picture is sideways on the HDTV when phone is physically in landscape or playing video). I've read this exact case occurring with several 2.3.3 DX2's (as I've done copious amounts of searching on the topic) but I've never found a resolution. Is there any chance there is a known way to fix this? I'd be extremely grateful. Thanks very much in advance!
if you freeze portalstandalone.apk, then your hdmi out will not work. check to see if your portalstandalone.apk is unfrozen.
my hdmi works fine on my dx2 running p3's rooted gb. the difference in hdmi between p3's rooted gb and froyo stock is that the froyo stock is always in landscape mode but w/ the homescreen sideways. the gb version shows your homescreens in portrait mode w/ the bars on the right and left but when you use an app that calls for true landscape mode like angry birds or netflix, the hdmi correctly will show in landscape.
Thanks very much for the response. Portalstandalone.apk is indeed unfrozen (checked that sometime back). This is so weird and it driving me nuts that I can't fix it (I've got everything else tweaked perfectly thanks to our Wonderful, Amazing Devs). Well, I can confirm that I get the portrait homescreen displaying on the TV but that's it. If I rotate while in the homescreen, I get the DX2's landscape mode displayed sideways (on its' end). By the way, I'm using LauncherPro (this why I can rotate the phone and get into landscape while still in a homescreen). When I launch any app that should take it to landscape on the TV (as you mention), I still get that landscape image displayed sideways on my TV (Froyo did not did this). What's even more troubling is that the audio is not transferred to the TV either (it just plays from the phone). So, I end up with a sideways image on my TV with the audio still coming out of the phone speaker. Bizarre and very frustrating! If you've got any further ideas, please do let me know (thanks). If anybody has any ideas, please post. I'm not a noob here or shy with my modding, so please don't by shy in terms of technical solutions. Thanks very much.

Hello guys, I got this new unit and I already tried to calibrate/ check auto rotate option in settings.
Should my home screen rotate while i move my phone horizontally and/or vertically.
My icons are always in vertical mode.
If i go to gallery and choose picture i taken with the cell it rotates fine.
But if I go into internet browser ( the default one ) it takes like 4-5 tries shakes and moves my phone so it finally works <== this also seems odd shouldn't this works like faster or on first try ????
//Edit: needless to say , factory stock on everything nothing installed apart from opera mini and skype.
Everything else is default out of the box.
But my main question is shouldn't home screen follow my phone movement?
no, custom roms do though, like cm7
So no home screen/icons on it will follow if I place my phone in landscape mode hmm. Also what about the locked screen ( default one ) with the clock on it. Should that move? or same like home screen its only vertical.
Also I find my sensor in apps ( any app for that matter) to be really slow or unresponsive :S You need to move your phone in all directions like good 40-50secs or even more for it to switch into landscape mode :S
If anyone cares I re-calibrated the sensor but this time NOT on flat surface but in my hand the best I can and matched my movements so I works the best like im holding it in every day use.
Fixed my slow-ness or non-responsiveness about landscape / vertical switching.
=)
Hey guys I figured out something kinda cool today and idk if anyone else has ever tried it but I thought I would post it here just for fun. So if you unlock your phone and go into a landscape friendly app (I just use messaging) and turn your phone to the landscape position. Then turn auto rotation off from your status bar (if your rom supports it of course). Now lock your phone and your lock screen should also be in landscape mode!
Idk what this does to ethe twlauncher but I know it puts my nova launcher into landscape mode even though I have it set to stay portrait. I've noticed this happening other times when I have been using my phone in landscape and then locked it and went to unlock it again right after and my lock screen appears to be in landscape for a short second. Idk if there's any other apps that now go landscape that dont usually or what it does to the twlauncher so let me know if you guys find anything else cool with this.
Yeah, I noticed that. Pretty neat I guess.
Yes, it was like that on my old Captivate running Gingerbread as well. Kinda makes sense that if it's locked in landscape mode, it would stay in landscape mode, including the lock screen.

On CM7, if I lock rotation in landscape, it goes back to portrait.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Same here on ICScrewed 2.1.

thanks for sharing. this trick is great if you are web browsing on your phone but you have the tendency to move your hands around a lot... causing your phone to inadvertently rotate between landscape and portrait view.
i agree, the trick works on certain roms.
on a similar note:if you set auto-rotate on but your phoen doesn't rotate...check your launcher settings. for quite some time...i've always wanted my home screen to rotate, but i realize i had my screen orientation settings set to 'potrait' of my launcher settings.
