My screen won't flip when texting

My Storm has just decided to stop flipping the keyboard horizontally, but it works when I'm on the regular main screen. It also goes horizontal when Blackberry Messenger as well. Can anyone help me? I hate texting vertically. Ughhhh.

 

 

Please use plain text.

Re: My screen won't flip when texting

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!

Anytime random strange behaviors creep in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.

Best!
