Screen stays horizontal

[henoch]

I tried to look if there is a fix on forums but with no sucess.

After a week of having at&t tilt once after using keyboard i slide it back but screen stays horizontal. anyone knows whats that all about?

Soft reset didnt work so far. i think it happend during wall charging when i started sending some messages.
:confused:

So, after you reset, the phone boots in landscape? Or once you go landscape, you can't switch back? Either way, I think the kaiser uses a magnetic switch to sense the keyboard opening/closing. I don't have a definitive answer, but at least that's a starting point for some good ol' fashioned research.

yea, it doesnt want to go back from landscape. i thought wierd problem like this should be spotted before and i was hoping for a quick fix. phone is to new to have issues like this.

Swurv is right, the kaiser uses a magnetic switch to make the change between landscape and portrait. It sounds like the switch is sticking when you open it. I don't know of any way to fix it, you might have more luck returning it and getting another. Good luck.

It isn't going to actually fix the issue, but you should be able to get around it till you can swap the device : Start --> Settings --> System --> Screen and select the Portrait orientation

Best of luck getting a replacement, hope its smooth sailing.

Got curious about the magnetic switch and figured out where the magnet itself is located- If you have your screen open and tilted all the way forward, the magnet is on the back side of the screen, on the same corner where the front OK button and the messaging button are.

Hey. this actually restored my original settings. It works now just like new!
I switched setting to "portrait". Never touched this option before.

Thanx man. Thnx all you guys for your time. :)
