Is there a way to adjust how much you need to turn the phone before it switches from portrait to landscape? I just put my phone down and if it is not absolutely straight it switches to landscape. Is there an app or some setting?
Tried a search but did not find an answer.
TIA

If I call up the browser and then turn the phone on its side, the screen rotates to landscape mode as it should. But after it rotates, it won't rotate back to portrait no matter how I orient the phone. Is this normal?
Nope, not normal, don't have a solution for u tho, sorry

Ok I turned off auto rotation. its VERY annoying when I am lying in bed browsing and the stinking think keeps rotating the screen.
problem is now "I CAN'T" rotate when I need to.
core problem is pictures. it keeps rotating my pictures.
so its displaying pictures 90' off axis. the only pictures it does not rotate are ones I shoot in portrait. those the picture axis remains inline with the screen axis.
but if I shoot a landscape picture (phone on its side) it DISPLAYS it rotated in PORTRAIT orientation (ie using 1/3 the screen) instead of LEAVING IT the same axis as the screen not the phone.
since I don't have auto rotation turned on .... I can't "rotate" the picture by tilting the phone again.
is there a way to STOP the camera auto rotating or adding rotation info to exif ie anyway to force ALL pics to rotate to the same axis as the screen (long side to long side)
OR is there a way for me to FINE TUNE auto rotation so its not so stinking sensitive? IE make it so I have to tilt A LOT FURTHER before it "rotates" and then I could turn auto rotation back on ???
Install smart rotator
Turn on rotation
Go into the app and turn everything to auto rotate
Than turn off everything you don't want to rotate
This order works best...if you did the opposite you will have some issues with the camera at least thats what I found.
NOTE: This will not fix the home screen issue.
Installed the app so far working very well. thank you for the suggestion. I wish I could justchange the angle that triggers the shift.
Every single time I set my phone down on a flat surface the screen auto-rotates to landscape mode. It is extremely frustrating! It doesn't matter if I'm on stock it ALWAYS happens. I can turn off auto-screen rotate but when I actually want landscape I have to go through all of the menus to turn it on which isn't going to cut it. I know there has to be a solution for this. I've been searching around but haven't been able to find an answer and I am fed up. Any ideas?
After looking in to it I'm just going to use an auto-rotate widget. Adjusting the rotation delay seems like it will be too complicated.

Does anyone else's camera get confused when rotating.
Sometimes the buttons are upside down and other times it doesn't change between landscape and portrait.
I'm not sure what I did, but now Chrome is stuck in landscape whether it's on the front or inside screen. All other apps and the home screen rotate, but when I open Chrome, the app changes to landscape and refuses to switch to portrait. It will flip 180° and if I'm holding in portrait, the second I close Chrome, the home screen auto rotates to portrait.
I have played with the auto-rotate features and was looking around in the labs but still can't figure out why only Chrome is locked in landscape. I do remember setting Chrome to allow folded view, and have tried to disable any related settings.
Any help would be appreciated.
So I guess this was a bug and not a settings issue. I accidentally did a vertical split screen with another app while holding the phone in portrait and everything went back to normal.
