Guest dfvt Posted October 6, 2012 Report Posted October 6, 2012 Lately I have been using google maps and yesterday I notice that the maps doesn't rotate. Is this a hardware or software limitation or a bug?
Guest Hogweed Posted October 6, 2012 Report Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Google Maps rotates for me on my G300. Just like it always has done. Sure you haven't accidentally turned "auto-rotate" off? I've done that before. If all is set correctly then try rebooting the phone. Edited October 6, 2012 by Hogweed
Guest cutcutcut Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Do you mean using a thumb and a finger to rotate the map around? That has never worked for me. I assume it's a limitation with the phone.
Guest Barry Hill Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 I found rotation never worked on any rom until the release of B927 (2 fingered rotation that is). I also found that B926 had a problem with the compass not rotating the maps but that has since been fixed.
Guest dfvt Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 yes i am talking about 2 finger rotation
Guest cutcutcut Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 I'm on official OTA ICS in NZ. B936 and have never been able to use the 2 finger rotation, on the stock Gingerbread before that and it didn't work then either.
Guest Barry Hill Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 I am using B926 baseband with Infusion B06 and two finger rotate works fine in the google maps app
Guest b4da55 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Im on 926 s3 compass doesn't work but 2 finger twist is
Guest Mario_Cardoso Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 It works for me. Infusion B03 (old!!) and latest Google Maps app.
Guest Rusty! Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 Try the rotation gesture for phones with crap digitizers; swipe two fingers horizontally across the maps screen.
Guest Uppy Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 Sat on the bus trying this like a knob. It doesn't work for me neither on B940. Not that I care lol. Still weird though. Also @Peninsula you mademe lol on the bus :P
Guest jsevi83 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 Try the rotation gesture for phones with crap digitizers; swipe two fingers horizontally across the maps screen. It never worked for me either, till I tried your suggestion and found out it works perfectly, I was just doing it wrong! I feel pretty stupid, I was trying to rotate both fingers instead of swiping two fingers horizontally across the screen. Maybe this helps somebody else...
Guest Rusty! Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 You were doing it right, there are two gestures; the one I posted, and the one you knew. The one you knew is for devices with 'distinct' multi-touch, Google implemented the other for older (mostly) devices with a poorer digitizer.
