I don't want screen rotation with phone calls

so i have been using g config to try to control what apps my phone rotates the screen for. i have removed everything from the g config list that has i think out could be but the screen continues to rotate as there is a phone call coming on, this causes the thing screen to rotate as I bring the phone our of my pocket and it often is in the middle of rotating when I try to answer and it often has a hard time hitting th eanswerbutton while on transition.
anyone know of a way to keep the phone to stop rotating?
thanks,
jeff

So when I open Gconfig, the only apps that are set to rotate are:
skyfire
iGuidance
both my mail accounts
sms/mms
IE6
Album
Calculator
Opera
I noticed that on my Wife's phone that has the official Tmo rom does not do this.
Thanks, any other ideas?
remove anything with "dialog" youll loose email and text messaging rotation. but they all use the same window name.

Thanks Dude! The only thing that said Dialog was the sms/mms. I deleted that and then reset up the sms/mms and the phone app does not rotate anymore!!
Outstanding!!

Log in screen is stuck in portrait mode.

For about a week now, when I bring the screen back on and get the log in, it's stuck in portrait mode! No matter what I do, it won't switch back to landscape, I have to log in, and then the screen will go back to landscape, any ideas?

if you have installed wanam it forces the lock screen like there. there is a checkbox insides its settings to allow rotation.

Notification pulldown don't work

So i just got my phone back from service. I had a white spot on the screen. They fixed it by replacing the motherboard. It'll all fine and dandy right there. But i noticed i could not pull down the notification bar in potrait mode. While switching to landscape it works. This sounds like a hardware issue but im not sure. Is there a way to test the screen?... if a move a widget to the top of the screen from my homescreen. The screen detects it's up there.. so i guess the touch is ok?
The service took about 4 weeks so i hope i don't have to send it in again
I've tried resetting the phone (clean install)
UPDATE: Sent it back for another 4 weeks of service..
Hello
To make a touch screen test follow these steps:
1- open the phone dialer and dial this number *#*#3421#*#*
2- Choose accept, that will take you to a hardware test page
3- Choose touch screen line draw test.
Thank you
i have the same issues its software and gets fixed automatically
but there should be a solution
I just received my brand new HTC 10 today and I have the exact same problem as you.
I am unable to pull the notifications bar after I unlocked the phone in portrait mode. However I can pull the notifications bar while the phone is still locked AND when the phone is unlocked and rotated to landscape mode.
I have tried factory resetting my phone and upgrading to the latest software but the problem still persists.
What should I do?
Anyone solved this problem?

It's a screen issue. Do a line sensor test from the help app

Rotate Icon Not Displaying On Developer Preview 2

I can't seem to get my rotate icon to work on Developer Preview 2. I've turned off the Auto-Rotation option, but it's still not showing up. I wasn't a part of the 1st Developer Preview, but I don't think that plays a factor. Is anyone else experiencing this?

it works for me. it doesn't show up unless I rotate the phone.
I can't get it to appear for the life of me! It's driving me nuts!
if you have auto-rotate enabled in display settings, it will NOT show up. If its disabled, you should see the icon if you rotate the screeen
My auto rotate is turned off (not blue), but when I go to YouTube, for example, and attempt to rotate the phone, the rotate icon toggle doesn't appear. I cannot FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out why.

Just tested and it appears to the far right of the home button.

It finally works. It started showing up a few minutes ago. Go figure!
still doesn't work for me, have you done anything to enable it ?
No. It just started appearing. Very odd!
Ya. I can't get it to work either. Tried everything. Hopefully mine will "just start to work" to.
I just ended up doing a clean flash and now it works.

Android P auto rotate.

So one of the reasons I updated for beta was that auto rotation feature. That even if I have it disabled my phone will suggest me on my navigation bar that I can click and change the orientation of the screen.
However I don't know if it's only me but it's not working at all. I'm on YouTube , or chrome or any other app and that aware button that should appear on my navigation but just doesn't appear at all. Every time I want to change to landscape I need to scroll my status bar and enable it on quick actions.
Anyone expericing the same problem or knows how to fix it?
Thanks for your help in advance
Not me...
How did You get P? By updating or flashing the image? Did you performed the Factory Reset?
I'm also facing the same problem. I did ota update from DP1

From the normal view (video at top, details and comments below) if I rotate device landscape nothing happens.
If I press the expand icon in corner of video it goes fullscreen and landscape even when holding device portrait.

You clearly don't know what I'm talking about.
We this video with the new feature is Android P. Around 2m20s it shows the new feature that, even if you phone has the auto rotation OFF, when you rotate your device, a new icon appears on your navigation bars where you can tap and change the display to landscape. All with auto rotation OFF. To give you the opportunity to change it or not. If you have the auto rotation ON, Everytime you change your home orientation, it will go landscape mode even if you don't want to.
So that's the feature that's not working on mine. With auto rotation OFF ( how it should be ) when im in chrome, in YouTube , in all other apps and I change my screen orientation I don't get the icon appearing in navigation bar.

Sorry for the confusion.
What I mean is auto rotate works fine.
Even the new feature of rotation suggestion also works fine for me.
Check my screen shot attached. Rotation suggest icon is properly appearing in my nav bar when auto rotate off in youtube. However the icon appears for few seconds time limit and when we click it it stays with nav bar to re-rotate.
I shared build number to see there might be any differences due to region or something etc...
