I've reported this since 1.5.2 came out, and it's still the same issue at 2.0.0.6484
Basically, tablet landscape mode will not show toolbar buttons.
Here is a picture in Portrait:
You can see the buttons on the toolbar, now in landscape:
You notice two problems:
1- The drawer should NOT be closable, it should always be shown on tablets, but tapping the back arrow will actually close the drawer and show a big white gap instead.
2- No Toolbar buttons.
This seems to happen only when I have a MasterDetailPage
Here is a sample project showing the issue:

Here is a bug report:
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=35657
You can run the sample on any tablet e.g. Nexus 10 to confirm the bug.
This is a major bug (unless I'm missing something) and I don't know how anyone has apps in production using AppCompatActivity.
Is there a workaround for this bug? It doesn't seem like it will be fixed any time soon, since it has been there since the introduction of AppCompat in Xamarin.Forms in 1.5.2
