If I'm in landscape mode and disable auto rotate, it goes back to portrait!!! :-\ I guess I was remembering my experience with the 4s where I can make the orientation stick to what its currently at.
Thanks
Edit: I can force my home screen to stay in landscape using the launcher settings but not the apps.
Some apps like phone don't rotate at all in my experience

My ts should arrive tomorrow. But I went to BB to check them out and the first thing I checked was how this thing handles rotation. I love to sleep and read on my side and I noticed that the reader will not lock vertically so while on my side I can read in potrait mode. When u do lock rotation it defaults to landscape. Is there a work around?

Moon+Reader locks the orientation you choose (It defaults to portrait).
Just lock the screen while you're in portrait, and it will stay there.
If u lock screen it defaults to landscape. I did download moon+ pro but i need big titles. Is there a way to buy kindle books a view them in moon?

I guess we're talking about two different things. If I'm in portrait and lock the screen using the Settings in the right hand corner, it stays in portrait (vice versa in landscape) . I'm running Prime 1.5 and Netformer, so maybe there's a setting fix in there. I can turn it on and off (not reboot) and it stays in portrait.
Hello!
So how can I lock gNote to landscape mode?
With Dell Streak I was used Orientation Lock Widget, with gNote it not work... :
(I use LauncherPro)
Also it would be nice to have the lock screen also in landscape mode...
Thanks!
Ok, I answer to myself. The Widget Locker solve the lock screen"problem".
I also calibrate the screen "upside down" so now the gNote stays landscape easily.
And yes, it´s not the best solution but it works...
I wanted to do some web browsing in landscape the other day while laying in bed and I decided to lock it in landscape, only to discover that it's impossible. I held the phone sideways, waited for the screen to rotate, pulled down the notification bar, and unticked the auto-rotate button. The screen quickly rotated back to portrait just before turning off auto-rotate! So I had to be careful of my orientation while I browsed the web.
I guess this is because they were too lazy to develop landscape homescreen functionality, so they tied up all loose ends that would lead to it.
I use orientation control. It works pretty well. You can also set it to go back to auto when you are done reading and the screen shuts off.

Thank you very much! orientation control seems to work great! wohoo!
Does orientation control also let you put the homescreen into landscape?
I'm currently using dell streak and having landscape for a device this big is one of the best things about it.
I use nova launcher and it has an option in the settings

Rotation Locker works well, you can force "service" mode so it runs in the background and forces everything to landscape, and its free.

I have an HOX AT&T. When I turn off Auto-Rotate while in portrait mode, it always switches to landscape mode. Is there a way to lock it into portrait mode?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
When I turn auto rotate off in landscape mode it forces portrait mode on everything and when I lock it in portrait it locks it in portrait. I am on the AT&T RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.82.502 right now. Which version are you running right now?
Just to be clear landscape is wider than taller and portrait is taller than wider.

+1. This app is awesome. You can also use it to force your home screen into landscape if you so desire.

Right. If you long press "Auto" it will run a background service that will force rotation based on the sensor (forcing meaning it will force any apps that don't want to rotate to do so anyway).

The way you describe is how I hoped my phone would work. This is how my Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus works, and I love it. But unfortunately, my HTC behaves oddly.
As for my version number, i couldnt find any version number like yours. Mine is just a plain old AT&T HTC One X, straight out of the box and unmodified.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried this app, and it's not helping. It's just a shortcut for the "Auto-rotate screen" setting, which seems to be defective.
The problem I'm seeing is that whenever I turn OFF auto-rotate, the screen switches to landscape mode and stays in landscape no matter what the screen orientation is. When auto-rotate is ON, there are no issues -- the screen orientation adjusts based on which way I hold the phone as expected.
I've run G-Sensor Calibration in Settings, but to no avail.
I wonder if anyone else is having this issue.

Ahhhh, mystery solved!! It looks like there's an additional "Auto rotate screen" option under the Accessibility menu in Settings. Somehow I had that turned on. And this was screwing with the auto rotate setting under the Display & Gestures menu.
Once I turned it off under the Accessibility menu, all works perfectly now, including the Rotate Locker app.
Thanks.

A stock HOX? You can't rotate the home screen by default in Sense. You need an app like Rotation Locker to force Sense to rotate. Are you having issues in any apps?

I can't rotate anyscreen. ex. gallery, browser. I try Rotation Locker. when ı chose landscape ı work, but chose auto only portrait mode can use. ı read somethings about this issue forums. this is issue maybe
You cant rotate anything? Maybe you just clicked auto-rotate off by accident. Go to settings, displays and gestures and see if auto-rotate is on
