Landscape view without keyboard open (auto-rotate)

Is it a possibility to show landscape view when my device's orientation is initiated via either auto rotation (i use gyrator) or through a shortcut (like assigned to a button). As far as i know the landscape page only pops up when you slide the keyboard open but i would like it to show also when i turn my device sideways initiating the auto rotate function from gyrator..

I get landscape view just fine when i'm using gyrator, so i'm not sure why you wouldn't be getting it.

Did you create an event for it? When I rotate the screen with Gyrator then it always ends up in portrait version of TF3D (rotated by 90 degrees) which is messed up.
When you rotate your TP do you get the landscape version of TF3D?

you can also set a long press of the phone key to cause a screen rotation manually: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1200

yah that's what I get not the 8 button view like the hardware keyboard causes when slid open

so nobody solved this problem yet ? I would like to use auto rotate too but still with no succes...

Can't get auto rotate to lock in landscape

I like to use my Samsung Vibrant in landscape mode while lying on the couch, so the phone is physically upright, so it stays in portrait mode. How do I lock so it stays in landscape, no matter what the orientation is? All the apps I've tried so far disables auto rotate, but defaults in portrait.
Help!!

upgraded to JB, lost screen rotation

really strange. this is not "slow" it's just not happening.
home screen
web browser
pulse
other apps
funny thing was i actually like this for most of my use. but then i started to notice it. the strange thing is sometimes i'll pick it up in portrait mode and unlock and i will get the vertical lock screen.
anyone notice this? am i missing a setting somewhere?

It happened to me the same thing, set with a reboot.

Do you have Auto rotate enabled or disabled? (The block with two arrows around it in the quick settings.)
With auto rotate off it doesn't rotate when unlocked. Picking it up (and unlocking) in portrait mode rotates the screen to portrait mode. The lock screen does rotate.

[APP][3.0+ / 4.0+] Orientation Manager [Free]

Orientation Manager is a simple application to manage your device orientation anytime anywhere. It can be accessed on top of almost any application running (Except full screen applications).
Setting up and using Orientation manager is very easy. It has setting options for
Starting / stopping the Orientation Manager.
Starting automatically on the device boot up.
Force rotate mode to forcefully rotate any application (Very useful for tablets to use applications in landscape mode which runs only in portrait mode).
Force rotate is also useful to rotate the home screen of devices having fixed portrait orientation e.g. Nexus 7, HTC devices, etc.
Option to remove Orientation Manager icon from status bar.
Option to select color scheme which looks better on your screen.
Features-
Rotate screen clockwise or anticlockwise.
Start / stop auto-rotation.
To fix current orientation just stop the auto rotation by clicking on auto-rotate button and to release it just click it again.
Using Orientation Manager is very simple.
As soon as you start the Orientation Manager you will get a Float (floating pointer) on the screen.
You can adjust the position of the Float on screen by dropping it to any side of the screen.
Pull the Float towards the center to open the rotation panel.
Just press back button or pull the Float out of the center and release to close the panel and float will return to its position.
Simple right!!!
Please share your reviews and help me in making your experience better...
Note: In force rotate mode some applications which are designed for portrait or landscape mode only can malfunction on forcefully changing their default orientation.

Auto Rotate Responsiveness

Is anyone having issues with the responsiveness of Auto Rotate?
At times, apps won't rotate according to my phone's orientation.
It feels worse when using split screen where sometimes it works when I rotate the phone to the left, but it won't flip when I rotate to the right.
I have tried shaking the phone after rotating.
Turn the phone upside down and rotate it to the orientation I want. (sometimes it works this way)
Worst experience is when I am using the phone in landscape mode while driving with GPS app, an incoming call will rotate the phone back to the normal position. (I use bluetooth headset to answer call)
After the call, when the GPS apps is back up, it stays portrait position and it won't rotate back to landscape.
It is dangerous for me to rotate the phone again while driving.
Want to know if others experiencing the same.
I don't have this issue when I was using Oneplus One or Mi A1.

Same problem..
