Hi, so the Livedock is pretty cool but looking at the price of it I decided it was too dear so I set out on creating a cheap option. I purchased an OTG USB TO Micro USB as well as this pretty cool suction pad phone holder off ebay

Everything works great (keyboard and mouse connect flawlessly so all good) however one thing I noticed in the livedock videos is when they plug the phone in the homescreen goes into landscape mode, and I am trying to figure out how to do this mannually. The only current possible way to do this when plugging it into the TV via HDMI, but I would like to know how the phone knows to rotate when the livedock is plugged in is there an application I can install to make it do this.

ta and to anyone looking to hook up their keyboard and mouse or gamepad I'd recommend this very cheap option!

ya it is a very good option indeed(USB OTG) but the only problem for me that I did not get any updates. I'm still on 2.3.3 and not even the updated 2.3.3 which includes XLoud and stuffs. And even the list of kit that you posted didn't contain my one..so i guess i'll forever be stuck with 2.3.3........sigh.....!

Don't lose hope! Where in the world do you live, and is your phone branded? My kit wasn't listed in the list either but I got the update, and if you've had updates in the past the likelihood is that you'll get it eventually.
