[Android 4.3] Unlock screen orientation *always* turns to portrait mode - why?

After booting the tablet, the unlock screen orientation is in landscape mode for some seconds but turns to portrait mode. And when screen turns off (or is turned off with the power button) the tablet wakes up in portrait mode - always. Very annoying, since I have to turn it 90°, enter my PIN, and turn it back again.
Any help?

So here is what I've found:
- The installed lockscreen does support landscape mode. Since it is in landscape mode after booting the tablet for some seconds.
- Some users report that editing build.prop and set 'lockscreen.rot_override = 1' should help. Didn't help in my case
- Finally I bought a screen rotation lock app (Rotation Control). That did the trick.

  • URGENT!! I need to know how to unlock screen orientation besides control center ios 7

    the bottom of my digitizer is bad and i need to unlock screen orientation with using control center ASAP i cant contact anyone without being able3 to turn my screen sideways

    Hi Anna,
    With iOS7 on an iPhone, you lock the rotation by bringing up the control center and selecting the "Lock Rotation" icon. To bring up the control center, swipe up from the bottom of your screen. You should see a translucent display with the control center options:

  • Screen orientation is locked in landscape mode

    Screen orientation is locked in landscape mode.

    Swipe up with 4 fingers, slide to the right, and tap the orientation lock button on the left of the music controls. If this button is not present, and instead replaced with a button with a speaker icon, slide the switch above the volume controls on the right side of your iPad. If that does not work, put your iPad into DFU mode (hold down sleep/wake button for 3 seconds, in addition to the sleep/wake button, hold down the home button for 10 seconds, and then, let go of the sleep/wake button, and hold the home button for 20 seconds, or until you see the "Plug in to iTunes" screen), plug into your computer, and force restore. Then, it should be fixed. Good luck!
    Thanks,

  • Since iOS 7 update apple tv screen on ipad stuck in portrait mode

    Since ios 7 update Apple TV screen on iipad stuck in portrait mode. How to unlock?

    Do you have orientation lock turned on on the iPad?  You would see a little lock with a clockwise arrow going around it near the battery symbol on your iPads screen.

  • Why do my Ipod nano6 always turn sleep without finishing one song.

    Why do my iPod Nano6 always turn to sleep mode withou finishing ow ne song? Anybody knows how to solve this issue?

    The reason that it pauses when the screen goes dark is because your headset has not been detected.
    First, make sure the headset is fully inserted. If you can see ANY silver at all from the plug, then it is not fully inserted. When you insert it, you should hear and feel a "click" when it gets fully seated.
    If pushing it in as hard as you can does not do it, then you need to look in thee and see if there is something stuck in the headset jack.

  • Turning off portrait lock mode on my iphone5

    I cannot turn off the portrait lock mode on my iphone5. I went to the apple support sites and everyone says to double click home button, then scroll until I find the icon (lock with an arrow circling around it) and that icon is NOWHERE to be found.  I see every other icon for various other apps etc. but not this one.  Is there another way?  I am perplexed. HELP!

    Swipe UP from the bottom edge of the screen to see the Control Center, tap the top right icon next to the Crescent to lock/unlock screen orientation.

  • My phone randomly crashed and it won't turn back on. Why?

    My iPhone 4 is running on 4.2 software, I believe. It just randomly crashed and after about 30 minutes it hasn't responded. I've had this happen twice before, the first time, I ultimately had to get a new phone. The previous time, it just came back to normal after 10 minutes. What do I do now?

    Hard Reset.
    - Hold down the Home Button (Circle button with White Square in it)
    - Wait for the 'Slide to Unlock' screen pops up
    Turn your phone off once a week for about 10 minutes

    Hello HaithamOkeely,
    We've an article that provides the following troubleshooting steps that may help stabilize your iPhone.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

  • I can no longer view my photos through th photo icon.  There is not an icon on my "slide to unlock" screen that when touched starts a slide show of my photos.  How do I turn that off so I can access my photos as before?

    Oroilore-
    I do not see a way to disable the Picture Frame icon.  I looked at Settings-Picture Frame, but none of the options turns it off.  The only way I can thinik of, would be if all of your photos had been deleted.  If there were no photos, you couldn't have a slide show!
    One thing to try is to reset (reboot) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • How do you turn off larger dynamic type on the iphone4 when your screen orientation is locked (vertically)?

    So I have the iphone 4 with the latests update ios7.
    So I went on settings > general > accessibility > larger type.
    And I clicked "on" for "larger dynamic type"
    Now my font is so big I can't even see apps that I have and such
    I want to turn it "off" but my screen orientation is locked! (I can't move my phone horizontally) I think if I can move my phone horizontally I'll be able to see the on/off button for larger dynamic type.
    I tried sliding the bottom upwards to turn off screen lock orientation but it's not on my screen because my font is set to a really big size that the "screen orientation lock button" didn't make it to the screen

    Turning on Dynamic type and increasing it shold not have that effect.
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
