Hello, I've finally managed to get my game running on an Android device. (Sony Ericsson Experia x10i) and everything works great except the orientation of the screen.

I've done the calibration, no issues there, but even though I've set the game to run landscape only, it still insists is displaying in portrait, whilst the phone is landscape. (As in the image attached)

Any ideas on how I can fix it?

I have no problems at all with my Galaxy S2. Are you using the correct virtual resolution? Here's what my settings looks like.

SetVirtualResolution( 800, 480 )
SetOrientationAllowed( 0, 0, 1, 1 )

Yes I am...

SetOrientationAllowed( 0, 0, 1, 1 )
SetVirtualResolution( 480, 320 )
SetDisplayAspect( ( GetDeviceWidth() + 0.0 ) / ( GetDeviceHeight() + 0.0 ) )

Perhaps it's the order in which I'm using it which is causing issues, I'll have a bit of a play.

Never use setvirtualresolution, and setdisplayaspect in the same program! use only one of them.

aspect is for percentage based resolution, virtual is for fixed resolutions.

You don't need SetDisplayAspect() when using SetVirtualResolution(). Try without.

Since you are in landscape I think you have to switch the values in SetDisplayAspect(), the height of the phone becomes the width.

Thanks a bunch for your help!
