How do I get rid of this stupid freaking thing?
(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?
Long-press on the auto-rotate quick icon in the notification tray:
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 switched from samsung to Fairphone, and oh my gods base Android is missing so many nice little features and options I'd been taking for granted on OneUI.
Smart switch: actually copies your data over instead of simply redownloading your apps and letting you figure out if/how to transfer individual backups.
samsung gallery: tags, offline categorization, fantastic photo and video editor. Routines, One Hand Operation+ (though "Quick Cursor" is a decent replacement), quick settings. On samsung there's a feature which can automatically turn off/on wifi when leaving/returning home. google has basically the same feature... but only turns your WiFi on! They really want their location services to be scanning for networks at all times. And apps, like tasker, can no longer manage WiFi either.
Even so, fuck samsung. I would make the switch all over again.
i have the wifi thing on lineageos, and the smart switch thing should be 90% recreatable by just making a backup and then restoring from that backup on the new device.
Can you make a proper backup without the use of root/shizuku/adb?
what precisely does "proper backup" mean?
Me not having to dick around with restoring most individual apps/transferring non–play store apps.
yeah the lineageos backup does that, it has an experimental option to backup the actual apks
I use Graphene and, sadly, that option is not in that section for me.
Thank you so much!!!!!!! ฅ^>⩊<^ ฅ
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!"
Search settings? I sometimes can’t remember where something is. I use the search box in settings.
that tends to be the worst search function ever and rarely finds what you're looking for
I dunno. So far I have always found what I needed, assuming it existed. Sometimes there just isn’t a match because either it’s not a setting, or it doesn’t contain the exact text you entered. I’d imagine people’s experiences differ, but I’ve been lucky thus far, on many devices.
Agreed, hate this so much! I used this ADB 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 ADB 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
I appreciate it so much : P
This helped me find the toggle to keep it off
Ha. Your welcome!
Really? That's awesome! Thanks for letting me know
i use this all the time
