I had the same issue until I remembered to set the allowed orientations 
in preOpenStack:

mobileSetAllowedOrientations "portrait,portrait upside down,landscape 
left,landscape right"

Once the stack rotates, of course, you need to script the new object 
layout. You'll get a resizeStack message that you can trap for that.

There's a bug right now, or maybe it just isn't implemented yet, where 
you don't get accurate rotation on startup and no "resizeStack" message 
is sent. My Android test app always starts in portrait. If I rotate the 
device to portrait and then back to landscape, the correct orientation 
kicks in.
