Many thanks Of the 3 buttons at the top edge of the Vega the middle one locks the screen orientation when pushed to the left. Make sure it is pushed to the right.

Thanks for the reply, I have tried that but all of them still open portrait with no way of flipping them to landscape, Im having to stand my vega case on its side to use them!!!!

Many thanks Some apps have not been re-written to run on tablets yet. If you let us know which apps you are having problems with we should be able to confirm this for you? ;)

As trevor said their are a lot of apps designed to run in portrait only, however the bbc news app isnt one of them , what rom and launcher are you using? does the tablet switch into landscape at all??

Sorry, I thought I saw in another post that the new official BBC News App WAS limited to portrait only.
Guest premieral Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 Sorry, I thought I saw in another post that the new official BBC News App WAS limited to portrait only. Hmmm well im running a BBC News app on vegacomb that i downloaded a while ago admittedly ,and its definately in landscape coz im looking at a story about a poor girl in tyneside impailed on a railing?? maybe they have updated it backwards ;)

I thought it would do landscape as well, but was using the wrong app. Edited June 13, 2011 by Dave Marchant
Guest Richeyg Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 Bit of a shame really as the majority of apps are portrait I thought the BBC may have realised this, I hate holding my vega portrait!!! Thanks for replies appreciate it.
