My dell streak screen stucks in landscape mode...its only a month I buy it...pliz help I tick the automatic screen rotating option it doesnt work...
We need more information. What ROM are you running? What launcher are you using? Is everything stuck in landscape or just your home screens?

I installed the VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1 ROM, everything worked fine. I then installed a couple of Live Wallpapers and the home screen is now stuck at portrait mode even I uninstalled the wallpapers. The applications and everything still working normally.
How can I reset the home screen to landscape?
Thanks
phone won't go into landscape mode any more. preferences in twloader check islandscape doesn't work, and twloader gets stuck reloading.
Did you check your auto-rotate settings?
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.

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.
When i got my S3 the home screen is always at portrait mode even if the screen rotation is on and i turn the phone sideways. But after 2 firmware updates I'm now on XXBLFB the phone suddenly can go to landscape mode. My problem is it is now stuck on landscape mode even if the phone is already vertical.. Any one has the same issue? Need your help on this.. thanks

Hi. Have you tried going to Settings> Display and scroll to the bottom page, then select Gyroscope calibration? Most probably it will fix your issue after you calibrate it
Either calibration,but also the launcher(not tw launcher,i think) has this option to set screen rotation.
Look in launcher settings
