[SOLVED] Samsung S6 Edge + auto rotation setting disappeared?

[eviljim1]

Hi All,

I recently disabled auto rotation via the pull down shade. After I had disabled the setting, the bubble vanished from the shade. A few days later when I wanted to enable auto rotation again, I could not find the setting anywhere.

I looked in the pull down shade, when I click to edit the settings shown in the shade it was not there, and neither is it under the display settings. I searched for it (used various variants such as "Screen", "Rotation", "Auto" etc) on the S Finder as well as with the Google Search bar, no luck.

I am on the unlocked (/international) variant, SM-G928C running 5.1.1 Build number LMY47X. No root, no custom kernel or OS.

Has anyone experienced this and, if so, been able to solve it?

Thank you

Are you using Package Disabler Pro by any chance?

Hi V J,

No I am not, just using basic apps and games. Have not rooted or done anything weird. Have not even installed a launcher, still using stock touch-wiz.

I've experienced this. It didn't disappear. When you disabled it the name changes to portrait. Go back into your notifications and click on portrait and the name will change back to auto rotate and it will automatically rotate again.

I honestly can't believe that it took me 3 weeks and two threads to figure this out.

Thank you very much ritchieja, you are a Gentlemen/Lady and a scholar!
