it won't work, the only way it will work is if the Xperia S is connected to a TV/screen through HDMI or if it's connected to the charger.

Yes, I discovered that yesterday, while I was using my phone and it was charging.

Sometimes it's very useful to have notifications in full screen...

So there are no solutions to do that without the phone connected ?

Just tried with the charger plugged in and it works well with my phone.

By the way, I just realized that if you want notifications to be horizontal, you can just go read them in a menu or in an app that support screen rotation...
