Lock portrait mode

[SyDroX]

Greetings,

Perhaps I'm missing something, I've looked for it anywhere I could think. How do you lock portrait mode on this phone? I disabling auto rotate doesn't keep your phone from going into landscape mode. It's a very basic functionality that I'm desperately missing.

There's no setting in the phone that allows you to force portrait mode. Even if you turn off auto rotation under Settings -> Display an app may switch to landscape. many games do this for example but if you place the phone in the docking station it will also rotate.

There are some 3:rd party apps that can force portrait like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.eyesfree.setorientation but if you try to run an app that's designed for landscape it might not work properly.

I was referring the lockscreen or the home menu, for example. I do thank you for the app suggestion, although I find it wierd not being in the built in quick settings. Perhaps you can consider adding this to the new software update?

I second this. It's a shame I can't lock portrait mode. I can do it on all other Android devices, but not Sony. Please include this into the new update.

Try this: Long press on a blank spot on the home screen > Home Settings > Toggle Auto rotation off
