Re: N900 will be getting Portrait Mode - take a look
 

Portrait mode. With PR 1.0, only the phone application, and the photo viewer officially supported it. With PR1.1, the browser has the ability to switch to portrait mode, but seems to be a work in progress. Do you see ubiquitous portrait mode in the future of the N900 for all official applications, or is this something that will be treated on a case-by case basis? For some of us that evolved from tablets, portrait mode in all applications may feel unnatural, whereas the opposite is true for those Maemo-newcomers who have gravitated here from other phone platforms.
PS: Nokia N900 was designed with focus on use as mobile computer with the telephony as a feature. Hence, the wide support of landscape orientation. Based on consumer feedback, we are adding portrait support in the browser of the Nokia N900, but only our MeeGo 1 software (formerly known as Maemo 6) will have full support of portrait and landscape orientations of all applications.

Re: N900 will be getting Portrait Mode - take a look
 

Who cares about portrait mode now. :)

Looking at the pictures it looks very likely that they will sort out the inbox / sent box etc.

When is this coming out?

Will there be some kind of officially supported release to upgrade N900's to the new software? They are the questions I think we need answering. :)

Re: my phone got stuck in portrait mode
 

it's a bug. i think adjusting the transition framerate fixes it

Re: my phone got stuck in portrait mode
 

oh the transition framerate, of course! Errrm what is that?

Re: my phone got stuck in portrait mode
 

Switch the screen off using the switch on the bottom. Switch it back on using the power button on the side. Slide to unlock, should come back in landscape. It's an annoying bug, but easily dealt with.

LOL

If you read over numerous threads (especially those "firmware update" and "meego for n900" kind) there's a mass of people desperately longing for this "portrait mode" feature. Maybe, if you find a way to reproduce this "bug" you could package it and put it into extras-devel ;°)

Finally all of them were happy and Nokia could spare the time for fixing it.

Re: my phone got stuck in portrait mode
 

It's not a bug it's a feature!

my phone was acting weird i liked it
 

i wish it would always act this way i had one handed operation and it was great while it lasted

it was not perfect but it was something

Re: my phone got stuck in portrait mode
 

i have a question about auto rotation is it in the kernel or user space

Re: my phone got stuck in portrait mode
 

The kernel could care less, it's all in user space.

thats awsome thanks

Re: Glitch / bug causes phone to be stuck in portrait mode
 

well my phone does this constantly now. just go to phone and make it portrait mode (turn your phone upright, ull need to enable launch by turning under turning control in the phone menu) then press the app button and go to desktop, or simply close the phone app while still in portrait mode. Now its stuck in portrait mode.

to quickly go back to landscape, just open the phone app again while holding the phone in landscape position, lock the screen, slide to unlock and when the phone app goes back to landscape just press esc and everthing will be normal.
