Well the user who tested my old version and new version of the orientation code was running a standard build of Android. I also know at least one other user was also running standard 1.5 and not any unofficial ROM.
Can anyone else shed any light on what may be causing this? I cant believe this issue hasn't caused other people problems, surely if an app works on one device it should work on all?
