Rob, yes, that was exactly the problem as someone else also pointed out. Thanks much.

RobH. Worth a try. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Alfaro" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 02, 2012 11:08 PM Subject: Question for new ipad mini users I received my Mini earlier today and of course have been stuck to it like glue for the last couple of hours. I've noticed something strange with regard to screen orientation detection and I'm not sure if it's a possible defect, or it's just that way. I'm used to the iPhone so maybe iPads are a little different. I'm finding that the mini does not detect the proper screen orientation when simply turning the device to either portrait or landscape mode. In order for the orientation to be detected, I have to first turn the device, then tilt it forward. If I don't tilt the Mini forward, it stays in the orientation it was in previously. Have any other Mini owners noticed anything like this? If not, I may have to take a trip down to the Apple store and see what's up. Also, how are Mini owners typing on the device, by using thumbs or some other method not including Fleksy as I haven't gotten it installed yet. I'm so used to my 4s and typing on it by just using a few fingers on my right hand that I'm finding the Mini a little harder to get used to. I'd appreciate any tips on this. I do love the device however and share the opinion that others have already expressed here on the list. The size is absolutely perfect, very easy to hold and use. I also have the Smart Cover for it which will do for now. Best, Rick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
