I have a Nexus One based AVD that naturally starts in landscape mode. When I use the specified key combo, Ctrl-F12, to place it in portrait mode, the phone goes portrait, but the screen is still 'landscape', i.e. I have to turn my head 90 left to read it properly.

How do I get the screen itself into portrait mode as well?

Okay, so there might be a possibility that you have changed the configuration of the application in manifest.xml. You can enable this feature using android:screenOrientation in manifest.xml.

And yeah one thing as well, you need to have a layout-land folder within your project directory. This folder contains the all the layout files same the layout folder. But in layout folder you have the "Portrait" orientation of all the files and in layout-land, you can have the same files with the same names as layout folder but the orientation is "Landscape".

Hope this would help you. If it's not , paste your manifest.xml :)
