Hi! I understand you're having trouble with the Driver app not auto-rotating to landscape mode when you place your device in a holder, unlike Waze which does this smoothly. Let's figure this out together.
A few quick questions to narrow things down: - Is your device's auto-rotate feature enabled in the system settings of your Windows device? - Does Driver app respond at all to rotating the device, or does it stay fixed in portrait mode? - Have you checked if any orientation lock is active within the app itself or in your device settings?
Meanwhile, here are some steps to try:
1. Verify System Auto-Rotate Settings Since you’re on Windows 10, check the display settings: - Click the Notification area on the taskbar (bottom right corner). - Look for the auto-rotate lock icon and make sure it’s off (unlocked). - Alternatively, go to Settings > System > Display, and confirm that orientation is set to “Landscape” or if there is an auto-rotate option, that it’s enabled.
2. Check App Permissions or Settings Some apps have their own rotation controls. Open the Driver app, look for settings or preferences related to display orientation or screen rotation and ensure auto-rotate is allowed.
3. Restart the App and Device Sometimes, apps may not register sensor changes until restarted. Close the Driver app fully, then reopen. If that doesn’t work, reboot your device and try again.
4. Sensor Calibration If your device uses sensors (like accelerometer) for rotation, ensure they are working properly. Windows doesn’t have a built-in sensor calibration UI, but third-party tools or system updates could help.
5. Compare with Waze If Waze auto-rotates fine on the same device, it suggests the device sensors and system rotation work fine. The difference is likely app-specific. Driver app may not have implemented auto-rotate or it may require a setting tweak.
If these steps don’t resolve the issue, the Driver app may not support automatic landscape orientation the same way Waze does. Sometimes navigation apps design their UI differently to fix orientation.
Would you like me to help check if there’s a specific setting in the Driver app or if an update might address this? Or help with more advanced troubleshooting? Let me know!
