missing feature landscape

I miss the function of the app in landscape mode to make. This would be important for my Tablet.

It's not a missing feature, it's something that used to work and they removed for some ungodly reason.

So for those of us who like to throw their phone in a landscape car dock and like to use Spotify can't, unless we turn our heads sideways while we drive, which doesn't sound entirely safe.

Do the iOS folks have this problem now too, or did we just get screwed?

Well, I guess we were the only two people with Android phones and car docks that mount the phones on their sides.

I asked over in iOS, and they never even had a landscape on their smaller devices, but that would make sense, as the iPhone charges on an end that would put it sitting portrait in a cradle in a car anyways.

Any other DroidX, DroidX2, or other Android phones that used to like to throw their phones in a car dock that held the phone on it's side and tool around listening to Spotify?

I have a Driod Razr and have the same problem. Was fine in my cardock before the update and now its not going into Landscape. Very Annoying.

You can downgrade to the previous version where the Screen Rotation works.

This one might show some bugs, but this still is the working version with Screen Rotation working when you plug the device in to the dock.

This seems like this will work for me. It hiccuped initially and told me I already had too many devices syncing, so now I'm having to pick and download some of my offline lists again, but better than nothing.

And I went to my apps and told it to not automatically update.

Now the trick is going to be 'monitoring' the application to see when they put it back.

Thanks.
