Stuck in Landscape mode

**gbp** · 06-14-2010, 03:14 PM

The apps (browser, email....) on my Evo change from portrait to landscape mode when I tilt the phone. After which they are stuck in landscape mode forever. I tried few tricks (changing the position, tilting, shaking ..) , but no luck. I rebooted the phone , took the battery out , still its stuck in landscape mode.
Anyone is having similar issues ? Any tips ?

Okay will try that. I doubt it would help though. Its a shame such things happening on a brand new phone.

Did you calibrate?

Was just about to say that.

Make sure you lay it flat on a table.

Thank you guys. I did, its now back to normal.
Totally messed up the calibration , held vertical on a level surface.
Its back to normal.

From my WinMo days I have learned to do a hard reset after every software update. Seems to improve any bugs that may occur, kind of a PITA but makes for a happy phone.
