Hi all...
I am just noticing a problem........when I go and either make a call...answer a call......or go to voicemail....the screen rotates.......and the numbers on the phone are squished!
How do I stop the screen fron rotating when going on a call...answering a call etc....
it just started to happen today....is there a setting I pressed?
I know it is not the rotate screen settting....because I want to screen to rotate..just not to rotate when I go to make a call etc......
it even rotates when I have auto rotate unchecked....mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Hmmm this is strange, what android version are you on? Stock? Rooted? etc etc?

I know it's not supported by default, but is there a program or something I can do to change between landscape/portrait view? I was playing a game that changed the viewing from landscape to portrait automatically... so there must be a way, right?
Did you try to restart your phone by turning it off and back on?
Sorry that last part I worded weird. The screen went back to landscape after I closed the game. But it just got me to thinking I want to be able to switch between landscape and portrait. But I don't know of any programs that can. Is there one out there?
When I slide out the keyboard the screen flips to landscape. But as long as I'm in the today view and flip in the keyboard the screen wont go back to portrait.
Same with SMS (Pocket Outlook?). When I go to the start menu it flips back to portrait.
If I'm in the start menu while sliding the keyboard in and out it works perfect.
What could be wrong?
Are you running a custom or stock rom? If you are running a custom rom, at times, certain screens will be programmed to not rotate as the rest of the screens do for which the cook usually releases a .cab to resolve this. If you are running a stock rom, try the following: go to settings>system>G Sensor, calibrate your screen and see if this resolves your issue. Hope it helps.
It's a custom rom and I've actually made it myself. I'm a beginner so I'm not sure if it's something I should have done when I made it?
Calibrating the G-sensor didnt help.
No help, anyone?
I flashed a new ROM a week ago and now the screen doesnt rotate back to portrait when I'm reading SMS. I'm using my own ROM which is basically a 23549-build stripped from most HTC programs. I havent installed any program which does anything with screen rotation.
What can I do to solve this?
hey is there a way to turn off auto rotate for just the phone dialer menu? cuz i hate when im tryin to get a girl # and i have to wait a moment because my crap didnt stay on the normal dialer .. is there any way i can fix this without turning the full phone rotate off?
Totally, I hate it when my phone ****-blocks me
Me three, mine sits sideways in the car and can't get to the keypad
You can try downloading go contacts from the market. It will install go dialer, and if you use that in landscape mode you don't lose the dialpad and your phone doesn't "**** block" you
That's so weird u started this thread, and it's actually in the Epic section.
This has been a side-nuisance i've been working on for a little while. I tried setting up a profile in Tasker that would 'disable auto rotate' for certain apps, and the dialer is the only one where it doesn't work (still auto rotates). (contacts, however, works fine and doesn't rotate)
Manually, even if I turn OFF auto rotation, the dialer still rotates, which makes me think it's a setting in the dialertabactivity.apk ?
I'll decompile that apk later today to see if I can find anything, but if anyone has any knowledge about this, I'm all ears (eyes).
The following problem occurs only when i'm using non-sense ROM's.
The auto rotate feature is always on!
The lock screen, home screen, the phone screen etc etc always rotates. Even when I set it not to rotate on the home screen, it rotates!
The option for 0 degree, 90 degree all work fine. The sensors are also OK.
When i completely turn off the auto rotate it stops all right but it is not a solution as all apps like the gallery for instance also stops.
Currently I'm using BlackIce 1.25. This also occurs on Cyanogen, Oxygen (basically all Non-Sense roms)
MIUI and Sense dont seen to give me this issue.
Any ideas? Sorry if this has been posted before. If so please point me to the link before showering me with your blessings (read abuses)
Edit: I should tell you guys that i also have a problem regarding the phone call going to speaker phone automatically! Might be that the 2 of them are connected... any ideas please!
no one?? please... some one!!!

This is the way CM roms are made to work. Auto rotate is supposed to work as one setting across the whole system. Sense stops it from doing it in Sense apps.
I think I know what you mean, could you explain better to make sure it's also my issue?
I've had weirdness where I could tell cm that I want 0, 90, 180, and 270 to be available for screen rotation, while having auto rotation set to off.
The screen would rotate regardless of my selection, unless I unselected 90, 180 and 270...

so the setting in adw launcher of the home screen orientation is over-ridden by the cyanogen mod setting???
any way i can change this maybe? it gets kind of irritating when the lock screen and home screen rotate when i expect them not to.

found out what the problem was... my calls went to speaker automatically.. my auto rotate didnt work properly.. screen kept on lighting up after every few minutes... all hell broke loose...
Also, the earphones (stock) gave a kind of a current whenever in a call/playing music!!
Gave my phone a few days of rest.. then changed my usb cable... got one that doesn't move.. as in the slot is of a perfect size so that my port and the connectors dont move...
Problem solved.. my phone works like a brand new one! (well better coz it's rooted.. ) no issues whatsoever!
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?

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...

Yeahhh it's exactly that. I don't know why it doesn't appear on mine . It's so useful when I'm at bed watching YouTube...
You did anything to activate it or it just appeared?
