You might be hitting this bug “Orientation does not change from landscape to portrait on Emulator on 2.3”

More than 45 people are facing the same issue with the androidd 2.3 emulator

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13189

Host OS: Windows 7 SDK tools version : revision 8 Eclipse version: 3.5
ADT plug-in version: 8.0.1 Platform targeted by your project: 2.3
Version of the platform running in the emulator:2.3

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Activity 1 (no screen orientation) – Activity 2 (screen orientation = landscape)

1. Going from Activity 1 to 2 works fine. Pressing back changes the orientation of Activity 1 to landscape

EXPECTED RESULTS: Activity 1 should be in portrait mode

OBSERVED RESULTS: Behavior is observed only in gingerbread, works as
expected on froyo.
