Hi, I recently purchased the Samsung Tab S. When using the Facebook app I have experienced an issue. I view the normal Facebook info as landscape. If I click on an actual Facebook page the image switches to portrait. It is annoying not just because I have to tunrun the tablet but the whole format changes. Is there a way to stop that from happening?

Unfortunately that's a Facebook app 'thing' (technically not a bug, just a design oversight). They only allow the Timeline to be in landscape. You can turn off automatic rotation but that would keep everything in portrait. You can also download a 3rd party app to force landscape on apps. Most apps work, but some will be buggy (in my experience, though, the Facebook app is OK with landscape forcing).
