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!!!!

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.

This was the discussion about it - http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...pp-for-android/

I think the official app is fairly new - only a couple of weeks old or so. I thought it would do landscape as well, but was using the wrong app.

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.
