Hi guys! It´s me again.:) Today i wanna show you, how you get the dialer to show up in landscape while on call.

Problem:
Phone is in landscape while you got it in the car dock, for example. Now when you get a call or wanna make one, the phone turn back to potrait mode even it´s still in landscape. I find that pretty annoying!

Solution:
It´s an app called Ultimate Rotation Control. You can get it for free (7 day trial) on the playstore (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate&hl=de). Just install it and let everything as it is. And if you now get a call or make one the phone stays in landscape as it should.

I've been using that app to force Flipboard into landscape mode for quite some time. I keep the Rotation Locker widget just below the Flipboard widget. This isn't the best solution as sometimes you can't tell what you're looking at when in landscape, but it's better than being stuck in portrait all the time. Don't know why the devs of Flipboard don't enable this natively.

I know this ain't the best. But I hate it in the car get my head to the side just to see who's calling. :)
