One can use the Android auto-rotate feature to utilise the smartphone’s screen completely. But sometimes your Android phone’s auto-rotate doesn’t work when you turn your phone into landscape mode. It becomes very frustrating especially when you are trying to play games or consume multimedia. In the case of the game, it will simply crash or show a video that keeps playing in either portrait mode or in a stretched format. If you are facing an Android screen auto rotate not working issue worry not here are a few fixes one can try, which will surely help you out to solve the problem.
Restart Phone
As we all know, restarting any smart device fixes most of the issues in it. Restarting any smartphone kills all the applications and clears up the memory. Doing this can result in fixing bad system cache, which may be causing this issue as well. This should be the first and basic step of fixing the issue. If the issue is not resolved. Head to the next step.
Ensure auto rotation is turned on
The next step will be to check if this feature is turned on for your mobile. For doing so, swipe down from top to open the Quick setting menu. Check for the Auto-rotate option. If it is turned off, press the icon to turn it on. In some phones, they will be named as portrait or landscape mode. Switching to landscape if in portrait will switch on the auto-rotate option.Read Also: How to rotate your computer screen or desktop
Check for rotation settings on the specific application
There are applications available on Playstore that override the current screen orientation from the UI and the orientation in those applications are hidden somewhere in the setting. Make sure that any application you are using is not hindering or overwriting screen rotation protocols. If the auto rotation is not working for that specific application try to search for orientation options in the application’s setting. Toggling that one should absolve the issue.
Calibrate the phone’s G sensor
There might be a reason that the G sensor and accelerometer sensor has lost their calibration, which is causing issues with the auto-rotate feature. The smartphone uses these sensors to know if the phone is in landscape mode or in portrait and shifts accordingly. To fix this try making 8 in the air while holding the smartphone(refer to the image above). This will fix the calibration issue if any.
Uninstall recently installed application
If the issue started to occur after installing or updating a specific application. Try uninstalling them. A bad version of the application or a bad update can cause a bug that may stop auto-rotation. To make sure, try uninstalling any recent add ons to your application library and check if the auto-rotate feature is functioning alright after that.
Update your phone
The previous update of android may have or caused some issues or triggered some bug in the UI. To solve it simply check for updates. If any updates are pending, we recommend completing them. Smartphone companies notice these minor bugs and address them by giving regular updates. So, it’s important to update your smartphone to the latest version by the company.Read Also: How to rotate your computer screen or desktop

Due to faulty hardware, examples being G sensors, the phone won’t be able to detect when you tilt the phone, resulting in auto-rotation not working for you.
Bonus tip
There is a force screen tilt option if you use the manual navigation buttons on your Android smartphone (not the gestures). Head to the application you want to use in landscape mode. After opening, tilt your screen to see the rotation option in the right corner of your screen(consider the above image for reference).

In the light of the increasing unauthorised use of one’s Adhaar number for the purpose of obtaining mobile SIM cards and misusing them for illegal activities, the Department of Telecommunication has launched a web portal. Using this tool people can find out how many mobile numbers are in active use on their name. Here is a step by step guide on how to check how many SIMs are registered on your Aadhar card.With the assistance of this tool, an individual can easily get rid of the unauthorised active SIM card numbers that they are not actually using. According to the departments, there have been such incidents where someone’s details are being used to issue mobile SIM cards and are being used in their name without their knowledge for unlawful or illegal purposes. So that you dont get into trouble the Department of Telecommunication has come up with a portal- tafcop.dgtelecom.gov.in. This particular website will assist users in determining the number of mobile connections issued in their name. An individual can request that numbers issue in their name but not used by them be blocked. According to the government, the number of mobile connections that can be issued to a single person is limited to nine only but more than nine mobile connections are active in the names of specific users. However, the portal aims to simplify the process for users in the licenced service area. (Currently, this service is available in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh but it has worked for some in Delhi as well.)The Department of Telecommunication will notify consumers via SMS of the number of mobile connections active in their names. The portal can be used to report numbers that are no longer in use or are no longer required. After the user takes the action, the telecom service providers will block or deactivate the numbers. In addition to this, the customers will be given ticket IDs that will allow them to track the progress of the requested action.
