screen rotation?

[mikeeee30]

such an easy fix for something that's has been bugging me for ages.

Maybe this should be a sticky thread to save everyone else pulling their hair out

BINGO. thanks!

That's the beauty of having a community such as we have here, and I suppose it's true that sometimes it truly does take village.

Thanks to all for supplying the information I needed to put this pet peeve in the rear view mirror where it belongs!

Similar experience to Dave Haig on a couple of the Android tablets I use: found if I rotate the tablet then LOCK the rotation, the HST client works as expected (solving the "power plug on wrong side" problem in at least one case).

[Dave Haig]

This issue has been bugging me for years as I have been using several old Blackberry Playbooks which had android ability after rooting it and side loading a very old version of the client which is the only one that will run on the Frankenstein platform I am using. The tip about the orientation setting peaked my curiosity so I went into the designer and changed it to both, and also deselected the resize option. Upon loading the client it was still upside down, but when I turned 90 degrees, it in fact did go to portrait mode and then an additional turn of 90 degrees,the full flip was complete and yes my power plug is now on the side I had wanted it to be for some 15 years. I shut the client down and it now opens with the proper orientation. So that just one more thing that might be worth trying for those who suffer from this condition.

No updates in 2.5 years? I'm having the same problem (HSTouch won't rotate into the other landscape position) on a new Kindle Fire 8.

I ended up having to mount my Kindle Fire 8 upside down, so that the display is right side up.

Got a mini-easel from a craft store. The wireless charging cradle also rests on that easel, and it is fairly easy to remove and replace the tablet.

Same problem with android 4.4 - but workarround.

I had the same problem with android kitkat 4.4

Had also the power on the wrong site. Android turns fine but HS touch does not. Only the settings menu of HStouch rotate fine.
I tried this evening the app Ultimate Rotation Control (about 2 euro's)

Now it works fine. The view of HS touch is now the same as the android view.
I think its still a bug in HStouch, because the settingsmenu from HStouch rotates fine.
But for now it's a good work arround.

That's why I posted pix. FWIW, this is running Android 5.0.1; but it's worked on these tablets on earlier versions - 4.something.

... since this seems like a similar discussion...

Latest (as of a week ago or whatever) Android client rotates as expected on my Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 8 units.

This isn't working for me either on my phone or tablet.

Just to be clear...

Hold your device with the camera to the left (landscape), load HSTouch. Everything looks fine. Close HSTouch and now hold device with the camera to the right (still landscape), load HSTouch. EVERYTHING IS UPSIDE DOWN.

Sad

I believe if design both landscape and portrait you can have both in one project - just have to add extension or something to landscape file screen name. Not exactly sure, but i have seen mention of it.

I have seen this same problem and could not fix it. All other apps will let you go landscape or portrait in either direction (4 axis), but HSTouch will only allow 2 axis.

I would like to be able to rotate it as well mainly because I have a couple pads that the power plug is on the wrong side for my needs and it would look a lot cleaner if I could put the device the way that I want to put it.

Perfectly explained. I too have a tablet that needs the power to be on a certain side, everything else flips over just fine (android menus, other apps) but not HSTouch, while loading it's fine but once the 'screens' come up...everything is upside down.
