Please make gesture-rotation an optional feature (settings)!
Gallery:
Ambience pageis rotating into landscape with resizing instead of adapting display-rasterAmbience editis not rotating, so now you have a not rotating gallery main page - rotating ambience page - not rotating ambience editor- Rotation is locked to 90 degrees, leftside/bottom of device cannot be top, applies to
gesturesfor pictures.
Gestures:
swipe-gesturesrotate only ifapp-pagerotates (gallery does close from landscape top only when UI is rotated too)Notification-page: available as portrait and landscape but does not rotate with the device
presencedoes not rotate
App-Start: at start an app capable of landscape mode does not refresh the current rotation mode or does not get the correct current mode
TBC
personal note: One may think it is a good idea to have the gestures rotate when the page rotates or even with phone orientation but muscle memory does not work with that as good as it does with "you have a phone in your hand - strike this way to get that behaviour"
Note from a friend using an iPhone currently but looking for an alternative:
the device is to big and the rotating gestures are an absolute no-Go, that is just as stupid as androids button-bar moving around when turning the device - system buttons or here gestures need to stick to one direction

Gestures bonded with "orientation" is big problem. On N9 this is bonded with sensor, but too much times i don't know current orientation and gets close app not background run. Bond with GUI orientation is strict better in visual (and for developers), but not for my brain theory: top-down=close. :)
Kaacz ( 2014-01-31 21:34:09 +0300 )editMy phone was resting flat on a table. As I opened the Photos folder in the Gallery it was on landscape! I slightly tilted the phone upwards and it went to normal orientation. I can't reproduce it but it is a bug.

Is this how it's supposed to work, or do I have some issue here?

Sailor ( 2014-01-31 22:16:15 +0300 )editMy brain struggles with the gesture rotation as well. Hopefully this feature becomes selectable.
