Missing landscape lock after Lollipop upgrade

skris88 — Sun, 12 Jul 2015 23:49:15 GMT

My Xperia T2 phablet is a great dual function device, as a phone and a tablet it's just the right size. I lock it in Portrait mode during the day, and change that to Landscape mode in the evenings. Auto mode is handy sometimes but can interrupt smooth operation so I avoid it.

Now with Lollipop it's Auto or Portrait only.

Besides the fact Auto-rotate wrecks havoc with Chromecasting, it's weird I can't set my device to how I want it - surely it's not a security issue.

How do I get this option back?

Thanks for sending the link.

It appears they have the same problem re the tablets, only it's Portrait while mine is Landscape.

I've posted my issue there too.

Hopefully someone will find a cure.

Thanks!

Cheers,
