Google Nexus 7- Internet Landscape?

[wildspinx]

When I use the chrome browser, how do I then flip my tablet to landscape mode? Or is it not possible?

Sorry if posted in wrong section, I am new to the forums, but picked up my Nexus 7 last night and cant figure it out to save my life!

you likely need to turn off "rotation lock". Pull down the menu from the top and there is a little lock with two arrows (I think) around it; just click it. When lock is 'off' it will show a small rectangle with arrows around it, not the lock. My Nexus 7 came with the lock on. Once off, it should rotate when put into landscape mode.

thank you, i appreciate it. I am at work til 5pm (eastern), but will post up when i get back home if that worked or not

One neat trick is you can unlock->rotate->lock to keep in in landscape mode. So you can lay on your side on the couch and it won't try to reorient itself with "down" relative to gravity.

Great tip ! I had no idea that was the rotation lock button.
