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.

Is it a possibility to show landscape view when my device's orientation is initiated via either auto rotation (i use gyrator) or through a shortcut (like assigned to a button). As far as i know the landscape page only pops up when you slide the keyboard open but i would like it to show also when i turn my device sideways initiating the auto rotate function from gyrator..

I get landscape view just fine when i'm using gyrator, so i'm not sure why you wouldn't be getting it.

Did you create an event for it? When I rotate the screen with Gyrator then it always ends up in portrait version of TF3D (rotated by 90 degrees) which is messed up.
When you rotate your TP do you get the landscape version of TF3D?
you can also set a long press of the phone key to cause a screen rotation manually: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1200
yah that's what I get not the 8 button view like the hardware keyboard causes when slid open
so nobody solved this problem yet ? I would like to use auto rotate too but still with no succes...
Okay... perhaps an odd question here... I'm running my Touch Pro2 with a default ROM and the default Windows Mobile lock screen. Here's my problem... I carry it in a holster that has a magnetic closure. When I pull it out of the holster the magnetic sensor in the phone thinks the keyboard was opened and rotates the display to landscape. After a few seconds it realizes the keyboard is not open and rotates back to portrait.
The issues is that I need to wait two-four seconds for this process to complete before I can use my phone. Granted, that isn't a HUGE time, but it is annoying. It won't register me attempting to slide it unlock when it's in landscape because it's thinking about going back to portrait. It would be nice to just force it to stay in portrait regardless of whether the keyboard is open or not. But of course the kicker is that it's only the lock screen that I want to act like this. Other programs should still swap to landscape if the keyboard opens.
Anyone have a clue how to do this?
Im looking for an app that will trick the phone that the keyboard is always slid out even if its not, so that the phone is always locked in landscape mode even if my phone is tilted in portrait. I kinda like the screen to be like that of Dell Streak where its always in landscape. But for me to do that i always have to slide out my keyboard and wait for the screen to rotate (slow at times, i hate waiting).
But when i leave my keyboard slid out, landscape stays on even when it goes on sleep mode. and when I wake it up, the lock screen is also in landscape. that is what i want.
im using Xperia X10 Mini Pro by the way. but probably a same app would work for other android phones with slide out keyboard.
If you know of any app, id appreciate it.
Thanks!

there have an app called sth like "orientation control" in play
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.

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.
@itsXpanD and @AndroidNO0B i have tried this, once i lock the screen in landscape and go back. it returns to portrait.

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

(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!
