Hey Mark, I have had one user contact me by email and he had the same issues using the older version and the new version (using the orientation code you supplied), so I can rule out that being the cause *I think*.
I *presume* it isn't a ROM issue as I have had 8-10 users leave comments saying it doesn't work, in each comment they say "recent update doesn't solve the issue". I guess for most people it may work and they dont bother leaving a message which says "hey it works" instead its only the people having problems who post negative comments. I have tried every test case such as holding the phone in different orientations when starting the activity and had no luck finding a bug there, in fact I have wasted far too many hours on this.
