andengine + ics + auto rotation off = force close, so
===

So I'm writing a game in andengine. I've just upgraded one of my development phones to ICS and quite a serious problem seems to have appeared. It's a weird one, and I've asked around on the andengine forums and I suspect it's a bug with the engine. So,I have to try and find a workaround.

Since upgrading to ics, if auto screen rotation is "off", and I override onPause and I try to access any method from the engine, I get a force close.

As a workaround, is there any way to, programatically, switch "auto screen rotation" to "on" in the android user settings. I know that this function is available in a few "power control widgets", so I suspect it might be.

I hope I've made sense.

Any help would be gratefully received.
