    There is if you open bbm messages through the hub.

    Edit: just realized your question was "why?" I have no idea why.

    I thought that this issue would have been addressed in the 10.2 update. Not so much. I dont always use the hub to access my BBM so I was really looking forward to a remedy in 10.2.

    For whatever reason, BlackBerry seems to hate landscape mode. They despise landscape mode so much that they made cross platform BBM stuck in portrait as well. Kinda crazy that the most hated BlackBerry in history, the Storm 9530, could handle landscape BBM but the Z10, Z30 and millions of Android devices cannot.

    Their hatred of landscape mode is so extreme that they even figured out a way to make the Android version of the app force close if you modify it to autoroate and then view the contact list while sideway. I do that modification with all apps that are stuck in portrait mode only. If it won't rotate, I make it rotate and it has worked great on every app I've ever done it to except BBM.

    The lack of full landscape mode is one of the reasons I sold my LEZ10s and uninstalled BBM for android. With a qwerty it is fine to only have portrait, but it sucks when you're on a full touch device.

    I was going to say mine works fine, until I tried it outside of the hub and it didn't change. I never knew it didn't switch.

    It's interesting to know I could view BBM messages in landscape from the hub. I think it's one of those inconsistencies in BlackBerry 10 UI which need to be fine tuned in future.

    I hope they do bring it. I don't want them to be like apple and get the attitude if we didn't make it happen you don't need it.

    The 'landscape issue' is not limited to BBM, but also when I minimize some apps, in landscape mode, for instance Crackberry App, they crashes that I have to close and open it back. I wonder if it only happens to my Z10

    Why is there no landscape mode in bbm?-img_00000201.png
