“I bet this would look better in landscape, let me just turn my phone.”
Phone refuses to orient properly, no matter how hard I try to shake it.
“Let me just browse Lemmy while I lay in bed on my side.”
No matter how I orient the phone, it will be sure to change screen orientation as soon as I adjust to reading it that way.
Kinda silly that this is still an issue in 2024 isn’t it?
You’d think they would have figured out a better way by now, guess the OEMs are too busy making phones impossibly thin and unrepairable
Idk, I never really have these issues nowadays. And even if I do, they’re not so bad to get used to IMO.
If it doesn’t want to go landscape, hold it vertical for a sec, and go landscape again. Shaking won’t help usually. I don’t remember the last time I had to do this.
For situations like laying in bed there is the possibility to turn off auto rotate. But for me personally, it’s, again, not really an issue. I think my OEM did some improvement of the auto rotate feature that it barely ever accidentally rotates while in bed, no idea how it detects that. But maybe I’m just subconsciously holding my phone in a way that is not aligned with my head and more aligned with gravity, idk.
I feel like these issues were much worse a few years back.
