Can I turn off screen rotation?

I would like to know if I can turn off screen rotation espicially in music.
Thanks,
Dave

Unfortunately, you cannot with a 2G iPod touch, and, if your info is correct at the bottom of your post, not with iOS 3. This was a feature for iOS 4, but again, even if you had iOS 4, 2G's weren't given that feature for whatever reason.

  • How to turn off screen rotation on itouch 5

    I just upgraded to a 32 bit iTouch 5 and was wanting to know how to turn off the screen rotation when I'm playing music. I have the shake to shuffle off (great feature!) but would like to turn off the screen rotation. I just find that to be annoying (to me anyway)...how do I do this on the 5?

    Pull up the Control Center and lock the screen rotation. Tap the arrowed-circled padlock on the right side to toggle

  • Stream 7 Can't Turn off screen without putting tablet into sleep mode

    Is there a way to switch the screen off without the tablet going into sleep mode?
    So that I can play music in the background?

    Hey @Crixxtachi ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're experiencing issues playing background music while the screen is off.
    The tablet will work just like a laptop or desktop and we need to look at some Windows settings for this. 
    The simplest solution is to access your power management settings, and set the display to go to sleep but not the computer, or at least increase the time before the PC actually enters sleep mode.
    I havn't had a chance to test a Windows tablet yet but I would assume that in the power management settings you should see something on the left hand side that says "Change what pressing the power buttons do." In here you may be able to set it to turn off the display.
    Let me know if that helps.

  • Turn off screen while using Drive

    Hi,
    How can I turn off screen, to save battery, while using Drive? When I press power button, screen turns off, but I lose voice navigation.

    Hi karlo1020lumia,
    Welcome to the forum!
    What is the model of your device? If you're referring to the Nokia Drive application, this is a normal behavior. The screen must be active for the application to work properly. If your concern is about the phone's battery, you can check this link for the tips on how to prolong the battery life of the device:

    Hope this helps. Let us know the outcome.

    In other words, can I have my screen rotate automatically as I hold my iPad in either portrait or landscape AND hear sounds from my apps at the same time?
    Yes, you can. You can configure the Side Switch (above the volume button) either as Mute switch or Rotation lock.
    Settings > General > Use Side Switch to: choose what you like the Side Switch to function as.

  • How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on 3GS

    How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on my new Iphone 3GS ?

    Go to Settings>Messages and choose "No" under "Show Preview" which will hide the text part of the SMS/text message but still will pop up on who its from and just says "text message" on it.
    Other than this there is not a complete way to disable the notification.

    How can I turn off computer screen, when mirroring to apple tv?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't. Mirroring is just what it says, it mirrors exactly what is on your computer screen, if there is nothing on your computer screen, that's what you will see on your TV screen.

  • How to use the viewfinder? can't turn off the screen

    i bought the powershot a1400 for the viewfinder but can't turn off the screen to use the viewfinder.
    manual says to use down button to turn off the screen, - didn't work.
    contacted Canon, they said to hold down the "disp" button until screen disappears, that didn't work.
    what do i do?

    Seems to me the Display button and the Down button are the same thing...you press the button as mentioned and it should cycle through...if it doesn't call Canon back and initiate a service request or return it to where you bought it if possible.
    There are no tricks to it other than the screen automatically turns off in Movie mode...does that work ?
