If some apps do not auto rotate on your Android device, you might be experiencing a bug that affects the orientation of your screen. If this is the case, you need to do a few things to get your auto-rotation working again. First, check to see if auto-rotation is enabled on your device. If auto-rotation is disabled, you may need to try recalibrating the sensors.

Fixing auto-rotation problems

Often, auto-rotation feature of Android devices doesn’t work due to the third-party apps. Usually, the developers do not optimize their codes to match the features of their devices. This may lead to many bugs and glitches. If you have an app that crashes frequently or doesn’t rotate properly, you can fix this problem by restarting your device. To do this, you have to open the device’s settings menu. Select “Apps” from the menu.

First, make sure the auto-rotation option is turned on. Sometimes, auto-rotation will not rotate the Home, Lock, or Voice call screen. Tap the Auto-rotation icon to enable it. Toggling this option will allow the app to rotate specific screens. To enable auto-rotation for a specific screen, tap the toggle switch next to the app’s settings. Once you’ve enabled it, you can start experimenting with it.

Checking if auto-rotation is enabled

You may have noticed that some apps have an auto-rotation feature, but it’s not enabled for all. In such cases, you can check whether auto-rotation is enabled for the app in question. To do this, tap the settings button on the app and choose View > Auto-rotation. It will automatically rotate the app if it’s enabled. Then, tap the Rotate button again to toggle the feature.

Sometimes, the problem is caused by third-party apps, but this is not always the case. Some video players and launchers override the auto-rotation settings, so make sure to check their in-app settings first. If the app is completely disabled, try rebooting the phone to clear all of its processes and apps. This works well for basic troubleshooting. If you’ve found the app’s auto-rotate settings to be disabled, you’ll have to uninstall and re-install the app.

Checking if an app is interfering with auto-rotation

You may have noticed that your phone’s auto-rotation is not working properly. If this is the case, it may be that you are using the screen edge of your phone instead of the screen itself. To fix this issue, you must uninstall any app that interferes with the auto-rotation feature. To do this, go to Settings > General> System> Auto-rotation and tap the app you’d like to remove.

Third-party apps are notorious for conflicting with auto-rotation, as they were not designed for this purpose. Because they are not developed by the device manufacturer, these apps have many bugs and glitches. Some even crash multiple Android devices. However, there’s a quick fix to reactivate auto-rotation on your Android phone. First, go to the PlayStore and go to Settings > General. There, tap Auto-rotation and tap on the Rotation Control icon.

Recalibrating Android sensors

If you are having problems with your auto rotation, it may be time to re-calibrate your Android sensors. The sensors detect the orientation of your screen and if they aren’t working properly, this can cause many issues, including battery life and app performance. To get your sensor back to normal, follow these simple instructions. Once done, you’ll have a working auto rotation again.

First, check your phone’s accelerometer. Depending on your phone, the accelerometer may not be functioning correctly. In this case, re-calibrating the accelerometer can fix the problem. Depending on your OEM, you may have to use a third-party app to perform this calibration. You can find a free app to do this in the Google Play store. The GPS Status & Toolbox app is a popular option.
