(Android 16) I have auto-rotate disabled manually, my phone should be locked in portrait mode at all times. Yet somehow, whenever the slightest bit of rotation is detected this dumb banner pops up in the top right corner. It'll cover up a button I'm trying to use, I'll accidentally hit it and the phone will lock itself into landscape orientation. Then I'll have to close everything. Grrrrr.
Is there a way to disable this modal? Or is it a built in annoyance?
i use this all the time
Long-press on the auto-rotate quick icon in the notification tray:
The answer is always buried deep in the settings, but then you have to figure out which settings to go to. I've got an issue, and I know I've seen it in a setting list somewhere, but I haven't found it again. One day I'll stumble over it, and fix it.
Sometimes I'll just browse through a setting menu, fixing things I didn't know could be fixed: "Wow, I didn't know that was an option. Kill that!"
Thank you so much!!!!!!! ฅ^>⩊<^ ฅ
Thank you so much. This was so annoying. Although another comment mentions that this appears to be specific to samsung devices, and doesn't work on general android/aosp.
For those the ADB solution another comment mentions probably must be used.
I use Graphene and, sadly, that option is not in that section for me.
Agreed, hate this so much! I used this ABD command:
adb shell settings put secure show_rotation_suggestions 0
Make sure to toggle ' Disable permission monitoring' if your device has such a feature (also located in Developers Settings). If that's not there, the ABD command should be sufficient.
Let me know if it worked for you :)
If you long press on the auto rotate quick setting there should be a toggle for "Show rotate button at bottom of screen"
What phone manufacture? They all customize their OS a lot and some of them include or exclude options.
Upper right? Man your phone manufacturer made some bad choices with their OS customization
I know you can disable these, let me see if I can find it again
Yeah, someone already posted the ADB solution. But i swear, there was a GUI option, no idea where though. Might have been a third party settings app like SystemUiTuner
There's one thing i truly loved about Samsung devices: there is an option to turn that off build-in (hold the rotate button in quick settings when rotate is off, i believe).
Sadly, a toggle is not present in AOSP (as far as i know)...
AOSP A16 build
Really? That's awesome! Thanks for letting me know
I appreciate it so much : P
This helped me find the toggle to keep it off
Ha. Your welcome!
