That’s true! I didn’t realize until I checked my gallery app. I just disabled rotation in that specific app, and it helped a lot.

It can be super frustrating when the screen just won’t rotate. Have you tried turning off the rotation lock and turning it back on again? That sometimes resets the problem.
That often works! But I wonder if there are deeper system issues causing rotation problems at times, though.
Has anyone tried using third-party apps for rotation control? I found one called Rotation Control that gives more options than the default settings.
I use an app for rotation too! It’s nice to have more control, especially when gaming or watching videos. Just be cautious of app permissions.
Sometimes issues arise after an update. Has anyone noticed if their rotation lock stopped working after updating the OS?

Yes! My phone acted up after the last OS update. It’s like they changed something important without letting us know.

If you’re still having issues, you might want to consider a factory reset. Back up your data first, but that’s a last resort that worked for me once.

A factory reset might feel drastic, but sometimes it’s the best way to ensure your rotation works again. Just try to avoid it if you can.
I find screen rotation lock is often a simple toggle problem! But hey, I didn’t know about apps causing conflicts, that’s a good tip!
I’ve never had major issues with rotation. It just works perfectly. But I do keep my apps updated regularly, maybe that helps?
Updating apps does help! But sometimes the updates can be the source of new problems too!

At this point, I’m convinced that smartphones can be temperamental. One minute they work, and the next, they don’t. It’s like they have a mind of their own!
Managing screen rotation can be tricky across different Android versions. Generally, you can adjust this in the settings menu under ‘Display’ or ‘Accessibility.’ Just a heads-up that some OEMs might label it differently!
Absolutely! Samsung’s One UI, for example, has a different layout than stock Android. Knowing where things are based on your device can save a lot of time.
Great point! It’s also essential to check for any manufacturer-specific features that might override the rotation settings, like gestures on some devices.
Exactly! For example, I’ve seen some phones that have a ‘Rotate with home screen’ toggle. How can I figure out what settings my device has?
You can usually find this in the Display settings under ‘Advanced.’ If you can’t find it, your device model’s user manual or forums online can be a lifesaver! Just type in your model number plus ‘screen rotation’.
Great tip! I sometimes forget to check the user manual. Anyone found anything odd about screen rotation on specific brands?
On my Pixel, I noticed that the rotation lock behaves slightly differently when using certain apps, too! Sometimes it just won’t seem to work. Anyone else experienced that?
