Smart Rotator App

[Chunkhead]

Now, not only do we not have landscape mode, but since this new update, the Smart Rotator app no longer works.  Well, it tries to work, but it crashes the Spotify app in such a way that I have to reboot my phone.

Crazy.

I don't really expect an answer to this issue.  I just wanted to see if I was the only one having this problem.

Hi,

I don't have an android so I can't confirm this issue; but I'll escalate this to the staff so they can check.

Could you post your:

Spotify Version

Android Version

Smart Rotator version

Device name

Just helps know whether the problem is localised or more global. Thanks!

Anthony 🙂

Hey there and thanks for your question 🙂

Do not worry. I can help you with this issue.

Have you tried alternative landscape apps?

Greetings,
Jyri

Smart Rotator and Spotify seem to work OK on my Nexus 7.

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for checking on this.  It is seriously irritating.

Spotify v. 0.6.0.17

Android v. 2.3.4

Smart Rotator v. 1.1.2

Device is a Motorola Droid Bionic

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both apps (Spotify and Smart Rotator).

Hi Jyri,

No.  Any suggestions?

By the way, I noticed your nick is hpguru.  I am a lab rat at HP in Boise. Do you work at HP?

Hey there.

Thanks to question.

I do not work for HP, this is just my username I choosed when I was young.

Try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kennethcheng.com.autorotate&hl=fi

kennetcheng.com.autorotate crashed on my device...

But which seems to work, is this one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sugarmintcandy.screenrotator

As it turns out, just rotating the Spotify app at all, with any app, causes it to crash.  

Thanks anyway!

[Chunkhead]

Yeah, tried that with a couple others.  Nothing works.  All rotating apps cause Spotify to crash.

Thanks, though!

What about calling support again - and tell them about the waiting...

http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas/Landscape-orientation-on-Mobile/idi-p/691

over one year old idea....

If enough ask for the feature again and again, I think they'll implement it...

And I think simply enabling rotation would be a first step...

It doesn't need to be as nice as in iPhone in the first step....

Would be great, but ok...
