Solution #4: Fix calculator portrait mode

Posted on 2010-05-26 23:24 UTC by Jamie Thompson.

The N900's PR1.2 adds portrait mode to many standard apps, but unfortunately it has to be enabled each time they are executed with CTRL+SHIFT+R. The calulator is one such app, however, whilst most other work fine, the calculator just squashes up it's buttons and loses the labels on them.
