There's either Auto-rotate screen or don't rotate at all. Sometimes I want to rotate & other times I don't. I hate digging through the settings for a couple pictures then having to go back & forth. It's a pain.

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?
Hey everyone. I was looking around to try to find out how to get the Sense 4 home screens (and lock screen) to rotate and, while failing to find a setting to do it, found this.
Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.rotationlocker
When you launch the app, long press "Auto" and it will run a background service to auto rotate the screen. Note that hitting "Landscape" made it rotate so the bottom of the screen faced the volume keys and would not rotate the other way (at least that's how it is for me).
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 am a complete freakin' idiot. thanks for reminding me about this!
:cyclops: :good:
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 anyone having issues with the responsiveness of Auto Rotate?
At times, apps won't rotate according to my phone's orientation.
It feels worse when using split screen where sometimes it works when I rotate the phone to the left, but it won't flip when I rotate to the right.
I have tried shaking the phone after rotating.
Turn the phone upside down and rotate it to the orientation I want. (sometimes it works this way)
Worst experience is when I am using the phone in landscape mode while driving with GPS app, an incoming call will rotate the phone back to the normal position. (I use bluetooth headset to answer call)
After the call, when the GPS apps is back up, it stays portrait position and it won't rotate back to landscape.
It is dangerous for me to rotate the phone again while driving.
Want to know if others experiencing the same.
I don't have this issue when I was using Oneplus One or Mi A1.
Same problem..
