really strange. this is not "slow" it's just not happening.
home screen
web browser
pulse
other apps
funny thing was i actually like this for most of my use. but then i started to notice it. the strange thing is sometimes i'll pick it up in portrait mode and unlock and i will get the vertical lock screen.
anyone notice this? am i missing a setting somewhere?
It happened to me the same thing, set with a reboot.
Do you have Auto rotate enabled or disabled? (The block with two arrows around it in the quick settings.)
With auto rotate off it doesn't rotate when unlocked. Picking it up (and unlocking) in portrait mode rotates the screen to portrait mode. The lock screen does rotate.

I like to use my Samsung Vibrant in landscape mode while lying on the couch, so the phone is physically upright, so it stays in portrait mode. How do I lock so it stays in landscape, no matter what the orientation is? All the apps I've tried so far disables auto rotate, but defaults in portrait.
Help!!
Anyone able to find a way to enable auto-landscape while the phone is in the home screen or lock screen? Every once and awhile when I awaken my phone, it shows the time widget and lock pattern in landscape but then blinks back to portrait real quick. Also happens every once and awhile on the home screen when I switch out of Chrome or Textra.
I know I could use Nova or something to enable to the auto landscape for the home screen. Is there a way to do it with just the stock software? Also how about with the lockscreen as well?

I was about to say, your best bet to do landscape is with a third party launcher. Is it really that big of a deal to view things in landscape? Its sort of un-comforting to hold this phone on landscape unless I use it to snap pictures. xD

I've got pretty big hands so it's not too bad for me. Plus it's nice like when I'm laying down, landscape is more natural for me. I guess I will switch back to nova launcher, but any ideas for the lock screen?
Only way I have seen the lock screen rotate was when in MHL mode and it forces it into that aspect.
Would be awesome if we can really have full control on screen orientation. The default system rotation (even on Android 10) is still super annoying.
Here goes my idea:
Let's just put it that way, the system auto rotation should always turned on for the app to work.
By default, your (new) app has to always display a floating button with unlocked status (i.e. allow system auto rotation to work as usual, don't interrupt). Only when user wanted to lock the current orientation, be it portrait or landscape, then user can click on the floating button once, which will then turned into a locked icon, and the current orientation is locked.
For example, user would like to always browse Chrome in portrait mode, he can click on the floating button to lock it to portrait and won't be bothered of system rotates the phone when he/she lie on the bed or sofa. Then he opens youtube and go through a list of recommended/popular videos in portrait mode (locked earlier), and selected a video to watch, now he/she wants to watch it in landscape, so what he should do is just click again on the floating button, and then it unlocks portrait and now he can use the auto rotate to put the video in landscape mode, and click once again on the floating button to lock the current orientation in landscape! That's it, perfect solution for the annoying system rotation.
Imagine how simple and easy is this and I can't figure out why Google or Apple does not incorporate this in their OS, or perhaps their next version of Android/iOS? lol
Optional (Nice to have features)
You can make the app to always show locked floating button (to let user know current orientation is locked), and only hide the unlocked button after 5 seconds of inactivity/idle. To unhide or call it, user just has to slide from edges to make the floating button visible again and he/she can now click once to lock desired orientation.
S22 Ultra has huge screen and I would like to use it in landscape orientation always, is there a way to set it permanently ?
I have already tried 'Turn your phone the orientation you want it to stay in and then lock it with the auto rotate button from the quick panel. You can lock it in either portrait or landscape that way.'
and didn't work for me, here is the video https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...orientation-permanently.4411873/post-86533919
one approach: use bixby routines and set to rotate to landscape for all apps on open

I dont see trigger for screen unlock
Is this not an option in the pull-down toggles anymore? I'm still waiting for my S22U to come in, but on my S8 you can pull down and get a "Auto-Rotate" toggle. You'd enable that, rotate the screen the way you want it, and then tap it again -- the text would then change to "Portrait" or "Landscape" and the rotation would be locked in.
Turn your phone the orientation you want it to stay in and then lock it with the auto rotate button from the quick panel. You can lock it in either portrait or landscape that way.

Search your settings for landscape and the rotate to landscape option near the bottom.

Your browser is not able to display this video.
(had to record with other mobile as as screen recording gets stopped when locked.)
managed to make it happen
this is what I was missing.
Huh, that's interesting. Seems to be a more recent addition, there was no long-press menu on OneUI 1.0 yet. Glad it's working now!
Can't activate rotate screen - why is it not the default?

Turn Auto rotate, Portrait, or Landscape mode on or off
Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick settings panel.
Look for the screen orientation icon. ...
If the screen is locked in Portrait or Landscape mode and you need to change it, tap the icon (either Portrait or Landscape) so it activates Auto rotate
