All of a sudden I turned my phone horizontally and the home page switched to the side view. I'm wit two other tbolt users and they don't have on their phone. Maybe its a push slowly comin out?
Your screens change to landscape when your device is mounted in the auto dock and car panal Is activated.
Strangle enough, at lunch, when I awoke my device my screen was in this mode too! I flipped through the screens trying to get it back to normal. Eventually I went to the homescreen and pressed standby. When I awoke I'd again it was normal.
I've seen it happen very rarely on the Thunderbolt and Droid X. It's far from reproduceable short of stuff you can do while rooted. I don't think there's an update in the pipeline to allow this.
Mine started doing the same thing yesterday. No media dock not rooted. It flips to landscape every time I flip to horizontal on the homescreen. It also flips back to portrait when I flip it back to portrait mode.
weird I wish this was a feature too. I got very used to keeping my storm in landscape mode when using it. I've never had this happen yet and i wish it would!!
