AutoRotate Switch

About this app

The 1st non-widget AutoRotate app that got 100k-500k downloads! Thanks all users!

Switch Auto-rotate feature on/off quickly. Put it as a shortcut in the home screen or long-press search button to run it.

Tired of lying on the bed and your device changes to landscape mode?
Don't you find it inconvenient to change the "Auto-rotate screen settings" using the setting menu?

This app aims to solve these issues.
You could now long-press search key / tap the shortcut to switch the auto-rotate feature.

To reduce memory usage, this app is not a widget (so the icon cannot show the rotate settings) & it'll kill itself after it runs.

Limitations:
• Long-pressing search button to toggle function could not work on Defy, Droid 2 & device without search key
• Some apps (e.g. Battery Graph) do not follow the auto-rotate screen settings in Settings->Display (which can be changed by this app), thus it could not work for those apps.
• "Lock orientation" (Lock landscape) is not possible as Google only allows portrait lock on others' app by design officially.

Ratings and reviews

This is exactly what I was looking for! The other orientation rotation apps are overkill. All I need to do is quickly turn off or on the auto rotate, because it's too sensitive on my Droid Turbo 2, and rotates when I don't want it to. This solves that simply and elegantly. I'm going to switch to the donation version, because this is surely worth it. Thanks Ken!

Recently it locks in landscape (button right) instead of portrait mode,so it's become useless.

Just what I've been looking for. Easy and simple. Thx.
