    I've noticed in 10.3 and on my passport that if i rotated my phone into "landscape" while in the hub, (even though technically it's not actually landscape it's a perfect square), it rotates the whole hub! It's kind of annoying! Anybody know how to lock this?

    You'll probably wanna check virtual expert and see how your sensors are doing. Sounds like the accelerometer or whatever the phone uses to detect rotation is causing the issue.

    I have had a similar issue on my Z30 and an Android app was to blame. It has somewhat forced the phone into a rotation lock and any app capable would automatically go to landscape.

    On the surface, it seems nonsensical to rotate a 1:1 screen, but it lets you use the keyboard as a vertical scroller (assuming the app supports it, which the Hub does).

    I actually do this a lot -- I find it useful as it prevents me from accidentally opening a message.

    How do I keep it from rotating back to portrait?

    I.E. I want to keep it locked to "Landscape"?

    I cant get the quick settings menu from coming up when I'm in "landscape mode"

    You want to keep the Hub in landscape?? How will you type an email or text?

    I find the device is easier to hold in the horizontal. You can scroll as suggested above and even type with the right (or left) thumb.
