I used to have the Droid and I seem to remember the screen rotating when you turned the phone. Is my Droid X supposed to do this as well? My Droid X only does this when I'm texting or email. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Yes... I am assuming you are using 2.2 and it has 270 degrees of rotationso check Settings/Display/Auto Animate Screen option, check this option and this should work unless you installed a app like Launcher Pro because it has a option to control this under. Desktop/Prefremces/Behaviour Settings/Enable Auto Rotation.

I don't think the auto rotate works on the 7 Droid X homescreens either. At least it doesn't on mine, and I have 2.2.
Oh no! Do I have a problem and don't know it? I remember it didn't rotate when I was using 2.1 either.
Just tried to check this but mine doesn't give me the option to auto animate. Thanks for the suggestions. I just dread going to the Verizon store because it takes sooo long to talk to somebody.
One other question...how do I know if I'm using 2.2?

Sorry that was my mistake, it should have said "Auto Rotate Screen" and I meant to say it was above the option saying "Animation"

I stand corrected (Thank You for pointing this out), I have been using Launcher Pro since day one and I forget the stock interface lacked this feature.... I activated stock and this does not work but for all users wanting this option you may want to try Launcher Pro. It is better than the stock app in everyway and screen rotation works..

I think I may try Launcher Pro. Is it alot nicer then the stock one? Also, can I go back to the old one easily if I don't like it? I assume I get this app on the market place?
Yes you can get Laincher Pro for free on market and if you do not like it (But I dont think you will want to) all you have to uninstall and the stock one will become default again.
Is the Launcher Pro by Federico Carnales the one you are using?
