AutoRotate Switch (v. 1.7) Разработано Kenneth Cheng |
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.
This app is recommended by Lifehacker

|
[2013-08-12] A Google User: Nice app but can not lock as portrait Whenever I turn off auto, it will back to landscape mode. Cannot lock at portrait |
|
[2013-07-28] A Google User: Useful An app like this can be bound to a shortcut by, for example, Nova Launcher, something a widget has problems with. |

|

|
[2013-07-07] A Google User: Thank you! :D This man is a genius! This is just what I've been looking for after my phone has been stuck on vertical. |
|
[2013-06-30] A Google User: Rotate swift good |
|
[2013-06-29] A Google User: Nice! Nice apps.. |
|
[2013-06-27] A Google User: Perfect! Works flawlessly. A must have tool. |
|
[2013-06-23] A Google User: Excellent. Perfect. You can use it with swipepad to have 24/7 access to changing it instantly. 5 out of 5 |
|
[2013-06-14] A Google User: i love it It works lovely! |
|
[2013-05-26] A Google User: Outstanding I had never seen an app so simple and at the same time so useful. Does exactly what it says it does, no more annoying automatic screen rotation. Cheers! |
|
[2013-05-15] A Google User: No longer works I've been using this for over a year a half and absolutely loved it. Recently my S2 was updated from ICS to Jelly Bean. Whenever I long press the search, it brings up a voice search. Such a shame. |
|
[2013-05-13] A Google User: Not Doping the job. I downloaded it because I was annoyed by YouTube rotation mode. But does not work with it! |
|
[2013-04-28] A Google User: Loved this until... This worked perfectly with my old phone but the HTC One doesn't have a search button and long pressing Home is already tied to Google Home. Please update with a way to select our long press button...like long pressing Back. |
|
[2013-04-18] A Google User: Broken on Jelly Bean The Jellybean update to the Sprint Galaxy S2 puts the Voice Command in the long hold of the search key. So i cannot quickly turn on/off autorotate anymore. I tried an uninstall and reinstall but did not work. Needs an update so can work again! It was so useful before! |
|
[2013-04-18] A Google User: Works perfectly but switched to power toggles Great simple app that does the job but I started using power toggles which has this ability too and so much more. |
|
[2013-04-01] A Google User: Does what it says Thanks for the time saver. |
|
[2013-03-26] A Google User: Stopped working Droid Razr Maxx. Worked great until jellybean update. Long press search button no longer works--brings up search instead. I miss it! |
|
[2013-03-23] A Google User: Actually works This app actually works !!! Its easy dont have to set it up or even open it !!! Just press the app icon and it turns it off/on, simplest thing ever !!!!!! |
|
[2013-03-15] A Google User: Awesme... |
|
[2013-02-25] A Google User: totally legit!!! I am sooooooooo thankful for this because the day that I got my tablet the screen rotation lock switch broke. This has fixed it totally and completely!!!! |
|
[2013-01-28] A Google User: Perfect Exactly what I was looking for!! So simple! |
|
[2013-01-17] A Google User: Totally perfect Perfect! That's what I need. Only a switch! |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Nice and useful app |
|
[2013-01-04] A Google User: Sweetness Love how you can activate by long-pressing the search button. Means I don't have to back out of a full-screen activity to rotate. Thank you! - EVO 4G |
|
[2013-01-02] A Google User: Simply works and useful |
|
[2012-12-31] A Google User: <3 Works fast and great! And its super tiny! |
|
[2012-12-29] A Google User: Used to be great But now i have to exit most apps to homescreen before it works. Defeats the whole idea of changing on the fly within an app. |
|
[2012-12-20] A Google User: Wonderful, thank you. |
|
[2012-12-09] A Google User: Works Simply works, nothing flashy works instantly. |
|
[2012-12-08] A Google User: Rep +1 :) |
|
[2012-11-29] A Google User: Convenient It's really handy to have it as a search button shortcut, it really saves space on my home screen, but when it has been used it is displayed among the Recent Apps. Annoying. Uninstalled since it abandoned. |
|
[2012-11-20] A Google User: Works well Works best in all rotation apps. Thumbs up! |
|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: telephone |
|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: Long-press on Search Button A long-press on the search button toggles the auto rotate state on my ZTE Engage. It's simple and reliable. Ice Cream Sandwich |
|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: Dave Excellent piece of kit!! Many thanks! |
|
[2012-11-14] A Google User: Russ Finally figured it out! |
|
[2012-11-05] A Google User: Love it Love it so much I put it as one of the 4 icons at the bottom of every screen. So simple. So effective. |
|
[2012-11-01] A Google User: I don't rate much But this is Better than the widget, no yo don't have to back out to switch rotation jus long press search |
|
[2012-10-30] A Google User: No nonsense Works perfectly. Compact. Efficient. Solves the biggest first world problem of our time. God bless you Kenneth! |
|
[2012-10-21] A Google User: I set the default to record how do I switch it back When I hold down the search button, instead of it auto switching I put the default to record. How do I switch it back to auto rotate |
|
[2012-10-15] A Google User: Common sense |
|
[2012-10-08] A Google User: Brilliant This util is brilliant on android phones with search button like my HTC Desire HD. Thank you dear dev :) |
|
[2012-10-02] A Google User: Nexus 7 Doesn't work on nexus 7 |
|
[2012-09-30] A Google User: Yes!!!! Works perfect with Swypepad for when Fbreader is in zooned picture mode. Autorotate is just too anoying to have on all the time on a phone, but is essential to see zoomed images properly in Fbreader. Thank you. |
|
[2012-09-30] A Google User: Exactly what i needed With no fuss. Perfect for me. |
|
[2012-09-19] A Google User: Just right Simple app for a simple problem. All it needs is a long press shortcut for phones without a search button. |
|
[2012-09-18] A Google User: Nice |
|
[2012-09-15] A Google User: Great! I read that I could save battery power by turning off auto-rotate, so I did, but it was hard to read most of my favorite websites. This app is so convenient!! You don't have to go back to the home page to turn on rotate. |
|
[2012-09-11] A Google User: Exactly what I need!! This app is exactly what I needed for my Nexus 7 to be complete thanks again your a life saver!!! |
|
[2012-09-09] A Google User: Does NOT work as expected. This feature only works with certain apps. It does NOT prevent the rotation of the home screen/icons when you slide your keyboard open/shut on Droid phones with slide-out keyboards. |
|
[2012-09-08] A Google User: Not all that useful... No search button on my tab. The app only locks into landscape mode, which has very limited usefulness. |
|
[2012-08-31] A Google User: Should have TIMER option It would be great to be able to fix a time length for disabling autorotate so that after 1 hour the phone behaves normally again. |
|
[2012-08-30] A Google User: G2 Awesome |
|
[2012-08-28] A Google User: Amazing I had been looking for a good auto rotate switch for a while. This is perfect, super simple, works flawlessly. Thanks! |
|
[2012-08-26] A Google User: Perfect Does exactly what you want as seamlessly as possible and no more no less which in my book makes it one if the few perfect apps. |
|
[2012-08-25] A Google User: Splendid idea This is one of the must have utilities. Does exactly what it has to. Great job. Thanks |
|
[2012-08-23] A Google User: Doesn't work on Nexus 7 All it does is lock screen in portrait mode, no matter what orientation you start in. If you start it in landscape mode it will rotate the screen to portrait and lock it there. |
|
[2012-08-19] A Google User: Perfect Does exactly what I need it to... Be a non-widget so that I can assign it to long press |
|
[2012-08-14] A Google User: samsung galaxy prevail 2.2.2froyo; Worked great . |
|
[2012-08-13] A Google User: PERFECT Works great |
|
[2012-08-12] A Google User: Forces rotate to portrait ... Which makes it useless if you want to stay in landscape. Points for effort. |
|
[2012-08-08] A Google User: Useful, I'm sure, but not for a Nexus Jelly Bean on a Nexus 7 only allows portrait mode for the home screens. Alas, this widget does not overcome this new limitation. Not originally intended to, I guess, but still not of use to N7 users like me. |
|
[2012-08-06] A Google User: Best app there is |
|
[2012-08-04] A Google User: Works perfect... This is what I've been lookin for... |
|
[2012-07-27] A Google User: Awesome Does what it says and does it well. |
|
[2012-07-24] A Google User: Fab Perfect fixed my broken tab. Thanks |
|
[2012-07-21] A Google User: Awesome app Super fast switch between portrait lock and unlock. Very useful. Excellent app! |
|
[2012-07-20] A Google User: Great Very useful app, couldn't want anything more from it |
|
[2012-07-20] A Google User: Perfect So simple and so effective. I use this app all the time -- works like a charm. DroidX |
|
[2012-07-18] A Google User: Very easy and convenience With Razr Maxx, press long search button to turn auto rotate on/off. |
|
[2012-07-16] A Google User: Great app Just what I need. |
|
[2012-07-08] A Google User: Compared a few similar apps and this is the best - works on HTC EVO 3D and can configure to run conveniently on long Search key press |
|
[2012-07-08] A Google User: Great Works great on tab 10.1 |
|
[2012-07-06] A Google User: Great job! Google should be paying u for this man! |
|
[2012-07-05] A Google User: Atrix 4g Smooth and easy. |
|
[2012-07-03] A Google User: Five star Now that's better. |
|
[2012-06-26] A Google User: Great app! Simple and extremely useful!! |
|
[2012-06-21] A Google User: Great and simple! That's that. |
|
[2012-06-17] A Google User: Simple Works great and is easy. Just long-press search button and it toggles auto-rotate function transparently (short-press still gives you the current applications expected functionality). If you are laying on your side and the screen rotates to landscape unwantedly, just long-press search and it flips back to portrait. Also, each time you long-press search button you get a small on screen message for 2 seconds saying whether auto-rotate is being toggled "on" or "off", so you always know where you are at. Thanks..... |
|
[2012-06-13] A Google User: Very small but very functional It solved my trouble in reading during dining. I couldn't hold the phone square enough to keep the screen from rotating erratically. |
|
[2012-06-09] A Google User: Get it. Simple, easy to access, and bug-free! HTC Wildfire S |
|
[2012-06-06] A Google User: Perfect Does what stated. simple and fast. |
|
[2012-06-02] A Google User: It could be better if users can custom their needs. |
|
[2012-05-28] A Google User: Does what it says. |
|
[2012-05-28] A Google User: Please make more like this! = perfect. Please make more apps on the same principle ! + nice icons? |
|
[2012-05-27] A Google User: Been using for years w/o issue It's been perfect for the job and takes no memory or battery. |
|
[2012-05-26] A Google User: Oh yeah I can't live wjtouht thhis!!!! |
|
[2012-05-23] A Google User: Good screen rotate locker Easy to use. Just put it on my homescreen so i can easily click home and lock my screen vertically. |
