Will be restored in next minor release!
Hmm,
Why not use 4 options in Settings | Application | Screen orientation
?
- System
- Portrait
- Landscape
- rotate (ignore System Setting) as in V1.4.1
That would make probably @hanzani1 happy.
Manfred
@hanzani1 describes that situation is solved if change screen orientation in device settings?
Or can change screen orientation to Portrait
only in app settings and report what happens?
Must explain clearly what device and what app settings are enabled and how device responds.
I think my device (Samsung Galaxy S7, Android 8.0) behaves very similar.
It is not possible to have have Apps in 180Ā°
(exept Google maps in Navigation mode - and only in navigation mode)
The device has only 2 options:
- lock rotation
- allow rotation
Behaviour of V1.4.2
Device in allow rotation mode
- Kurviger:
Setting | Application | Screen-orientation | system-setting
Possible orientation: 0Ā°, 90Ā°, 270Ā° - Kurviger:
Setting | Application | Screen-orientation | Portrait
Possible orientation: 0Ā° - Kurviger:
Setting | Application | Screen-orientation | landscape
Possible orientation: 90Ā°, 270Ā°
Device in lock rotation mode (activated in portrait orientation)
- Kurviger:
Setting | Application | Screen-orientation | system-setting
Possible orientation: 0Ā° - Kurviger:
Setting | Application | Screen-orientation | Portrait
Possible orientation: 0Ā° - Kurviger:
Setting | Application | Screen-orientation | landscape
Possible orientation: 90Ā°, 270Ā°
Behaviour of V1.4.1 (from memory, canāt test anymore)
Device in allow rotation mode
- Kurviger:
Setting | Application | Screen-orientation | system-setting
Possible orientation: 0Ā°, 90Ā°, 180Ā°, 270Ā°
Device in lock rotation mode
- Kurviger:
Setting | Application | Screen-orientation | system-setting
Possible orientation: 0Ā°, 90Ā°, 180Ā°, 270Ā°
The behavior of portrait an landscape havenāt changed IIRC.
Manfred
Thanks @linux-user for the detailed report!
(a test device here with different settings insists to enable explicitly 180 degrees )
Seems the most elegant solution, where can override device settings, while keeping regular options for all other users.
Hi,
In the latest update the reverse portrait mode doesnt work anymore.(motorola G6)
Hans
Above description wasnāt clear enough to understand what exactly settings in device or application had changed and worked before.
What happens in your device if set in application the Settings | Application | Screen orientation
to Portrait
?
I donāt know how to write it clearer than described above
IIRC the behavior between V1.4.1 and V1.4.2 havenāt changed when explicitly set
application settings in
Settings | Application | Screen orientation | Portrait
or
Settings | Application | Screen orientation | Landscape
Manfred
I can expand the available options for screen orientation in next version to cover all cases:
- System (use device setting)
- Portrait
- Landscape
- Reverse portrait
- Reverse landscape
- Sensor (use sensor, like in 1.4.1)
Hi all,
With Device on āauto rotateā & application on āmap rotationā switched on -> reverse portrait not possible in my motorola G6.
With Device on āportraitā & application on āmap rotationā switched on -> only portrait works in my device.
With device on portrait and application āmap rotationā switched off -> only portrait works.
So for me in the newest version I think there is no way to have reverse portrait.
hope this helps !
Hans
@hanzani1 what happens if change the above in application, does reverse portrait works?
Map rotation in navigation settings is about rotation of map and has nothing to do with screen orientation.
Sorry I was in the wrong menu
OK so I have 2 device settings āportraitā and āauto -rotateā and with neither of the 3 app settings can I have a reverse portrait.
On portrait it stays in portrait.
best
Hans
I have the same issue that it roates on me sometimes too. After a few mins it fixes itself. Though it was just me having the issue.
Have you set a specific screen orientation in settings?
Otherwise itās natural the device screen to auto rotate.
