Hi, got my T5 recently and met with some strange and annoying problems with regards to orientation/rotation with apps such as Tradingview and Investing.com, which somehow insists the bottom side of the portrait mode be the side where the power button is located. Though I doubt the problem is with the apps. Anyone saw the same and have any solution/suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Homescreen rotation stuck on portrait mode.
Had a problem with the homescreen which stuck at portrait mode even the auto-rotate function was turned on (blue in task bar and on in screen settings). Was really annoying, suddenly all other apps rotate but not the home screen ?
Found out there is a dedicated setting for the home screen, hold your finger on the homescreen background for a couple of seconds and the screen will give you access to widgets, wallpapers and a setting button which leads to another homescreen setting which also have a auto-rotate switch. That was somehow turned off in my case. After switching it back on it works again. Apps and Homescreen rotation fixed.

When I open the slide or rotate the screen I am not able scroll down to see all the things that are visible on the HTC home screen when in portrait mode.
Is this normal or does my Tilt have a problem.
I seem to be able to scroll other programs without issue.
AFAIK, HTC Home alone fits perfectly in landscape mode, nothing for you to scroll. If you have more programs run on Today screen, and you couldn't scroll up/down; then your Tilt might have some kinda disease(s).
I have the Home plugin and music plugin on my Home screen.
Can't scroll down to them in landscape mode.
install Kaisertweak.
there's a setting that enable to scroll the htc home screen
I'm running cognition 2.4.1, it has a rotation on the home screen! The actual home screen will rotate when the screen it turned landscape. The other cogs dont do this, even the newest one(11/18/10). I asking if we can get a full 360 degree rotation for the screen, like the jailbroken iPhone. That's just cool! Useful as well when using it in the car on landscape.
Check Settings=>Display and see if auto rotate screen is checked.
You can also use LauncherPro to achieve the same.
or you can simply pull down the task bar, and hit the auto rotate button
I actually like the home screen rotating. I'm just wondering if there is a way to do full 360° rotation. With the plug on the top, I could turn the phone upside down when in the car. I love it.
It's launcher dependant. Pull the launcher .apk from whatever ROM and plug it into another.

Is it possible to set the home screen to rotate? I use the original rom and with "rotate screen" - ON , but the home screen did not rotate.
Currently on stock firmware there isnt a function to make the the home interface rotate. A dev could possibly make a mod, but development is slow. one other thing you can try is try another home launcher.
It does rotate when using the docking station though, so the functionality is already there. Just the lockscreen does not rotate.
Thanks for the replies. I have the phone for one day and still learning what to do and to setup.

I think also the lockscreen will be easily able to rotate, with the pincode turned and screen locked try to take a picture, the press manual mode, it will ask for the pin, for ~2s the lockscreen is perfectly aligned in horizontal then it rotates.
I don't get why Sony should prevent homescreen and lockscreen to rotate when seems they are both built to do that.
try "Screen Rotation Steuerung" App -> set to auto -> voila you have rotation Homescreen! (Damn not ootb)
How do I get the back home recent bar at the bottom of the screen to rotate as well when I flip to landscape it stays on the side... I've seen pictures of it on the bottom with apex launcher I just can't get my dock and back home recent buttons to rotate as well
ok so apparently thats tablet behavior. tablets have the ability to switch to a phone config (soft keys stay top or bottom and rotate in place) which would be the behavior i described.... so basically it would have to be done at the source code level. bummer..... it really should be an option imo =\
Hey guys, just did a master reset to refresh the phone as I have been using it since the day it came out and it was getting laggy and now the home screen wont rotate
I use that a lot since it scales perfect and the phone is great to hold in landscape. I also do not remember ever setting it up. The screen rotation is enabled but it wont do it. I downloaded some app that forces it but it takes too long, puts an icon on my task bar and takes up some RAM so I uninstalled it.
Any ideas?
On the home screen, right click and choose 'home screen settings', then uncheck 'portrait view only' and your home screen should rotate
