Auto-rotate screen on home screen?

[lokombiano]

Hello

I bought my Sony Xperia T just two days ago and I noticed that the screen rotates to landscape

when I open any app. I just would like to know if the screen can auto-rotate to lanscape on the

home-screen.

It's the first time that I'm using a smartphone, so I am kind of ignorant on this topic.

Thanks for your attention

not with Sony's home launcher, it will rotate if it's connected to a computer and/or wall charger, other than that it wont, you need to install another Home launcher

on a side note if while connected to a computer or wall charger the home launcher it's not rotating, most likely the issue is SmartConnect

go to

settings > apps > all > smartconnect > uninstall updates

I also would like to know if the videos are always played on  landscape mode, or if that can be changed?

[Uliwooly]

always on landscape mode unless you use another video player app, youtube videos can be watched either or

Search for 'Ultimate Rotation Control' app on Google Play......customisable & you can trial it before buy.

Works a treat on my Xperia T.
