Help Home Screen in Landscape Mode

[W_A_Watson_II]

OK, I know and hate the fact that the Home and Apps screen don't rotate, but while driving home yesterday I pluged my phone intothe car charger, and later noticed the screen was still on and in "desk cradle" mode. When I hit the exit button spot it was in Landscape mode!

It would not rotate but the Home and Applications screens were in landscape. Even the phone dialer was in Landscape.

Now when I unplugged the charger cord it went back to normal, and hasn't done it again. Did I do something different this time, did I hit some off combinations of buttons? If I'd known then how to capture the screen I would have, but sisn't know the trick, sorry.

Anyone else seen this?

It was probably just a glitch. You can download and install Go Launcher EX or LauncherPro if you want to achieve this.

Well, it did it again. I connected the car charging cable, and the next thing I know it's displaying the car dock screen, so I exit, and look how the Home Screen appeared:

After un-pluging the charger, it switched back to the normal view and stayed that way, even when re-plugging in the charger.

Thankyou for sharing that info. I'm still learning stuff about this phone too.
