    Default Alter screen rotation

    Does anybody know if there is a way to alter the screen rotation on the X1, possibly in the registry?

    Sat-nav software would be good enough on this phone to actually use it as a primary sat-nav device but only if I can display it on a horizontal screen without having to keep the keyboard open.

    Select Spb Shell panel, go to Tools, select Rotate screen. Hope this helps

    You can also set one of your softkeys to rotate the screen without opening the keyboard.
    Settings -> Buttons

    I'm assuming the X1 doesn't automatically rotates when playing videos right?

    Yes and no. If you flip open the keyboard - the screen rotates.

    If you use CorePlayer, for example, select full screen it also rotates - but makes it upside down. (You can select which way within the settings.)

    WMPlayer also rotates the screen in full screen mode - the correct way!

    K, cheers. I think assigning a button to do it is the best way.
