the lockscreen and homescreen only rotates when you have it connected to the dock. Curently you cannot rotate the the lockscreen, homescreen and app menu screen. This is a restriction that the xperia home launcher has, you can install an alternative home launcher from the the play store if you want to have the rotate function. Development for this phone is slow at the moment because of the issues that arise when you unlock the bootloader, once Sony sorts this, im sure a dev will be able to enable the function.
Use Ultimate Rotation Control from the play store.
You can set a rule that it forces landscape while in dock. It's working perfectly for me.

Is this only possible with the keyboard extended?

On the homescreen,yes. However any apps that support landscape mode do not need the keyboard out.
I discovered if you use a third-party launcher (LP, myself), the setting for autorotate in the launcher preferences allows homescreen rotation. I'm rotating now...
I've found an app that forces rotation on individual apps. Its called Smart Rotator and it is amazing!

Hi all,
I have a Xperia Z and a charging dock, the DK26. Everything works fine, except for one thing.
When I put my phone in the dock it automatically switches to landscape mode, thats fine. Because my homescreen is also switching to landscape. Only my lockscreen doesn't switch to landscape, it stays in portrait mode.
I've seen it happen a few times, when I put my phone in the dock, the lockscreen switches to landscape mode and switches back immediately.
Is there a way to fix this? Or is it just another bug from Sony?
Thanks in advance,
LTKort

I never seen my lockscreen in landscape when docked. At least no the Sony stock one.
So I guess it's a bug. I remember reading someone posted that if you reboot the device while docked, the lockscreen will be landscaped. Haven't tried.
Lock screen should be in portrait. To enable landscape lockscreen, you need to edit your build.prop file.

Do you have any more details on this fix?
Has anyone tried one of the available apps from the Play store?
My screen does not rotate automatically. Of course I checked the screen settings! It only rotates when forced by the app.
Would this be a hardware thing?
If you're refering to your homescreen, then no. The default Moto G launcher doesn't have a landscape mode

I'm having the same problem...some games I can't even play
I know about the homescreen of course. But it's within every app that allows or need rotation.
I contacted motorola and they concluded that this is a hardware failure. I will go back to the store today to have it replaced.
I'm a fan of not having to use any of the physical buttons, this is why i liked using custom roms, on my other devices, that allowed this and also taking advantage of the gesture features with the launcher i use, Nova Launcher.
So for rom version 5.1.1 i like it the way it is, but it's just lacking the option to lock the screen without having to use the physical button. i've installed the app "Reboot Menu" and it has all the features i need but the Lock Screen option lacks for me, because when you use the feature, and wake the phone up again, the Reboot menu is still open. If it closed after the selection that would be great. If Nova Launcher had this feature within the gesture options..that would be even better! anyways, anyone with me on this? is there another app better than the Reboot Menu app?
there is an app called screen off in play store once u use it, it put the screen off
what i do is im using nova too and in setting the gestures i designated the double tab gesture to use this app
result ... double tapping the screen puts it off

this is the app

Hi,
Can anyone help me enable Upside down rotation on a rooted Note 8?
In the wireless charging doc i need to put it upside down because of a ring on the back, and it would be great if the lock-screen and everything could rotate accordingly.

Use a "rotation" app from playstore to get 180 rotation...

You should be able to rotate the Note 8 upside down and it should rotate that way.

I tried 2 "rotation control" apps, Android P rotation, Rotation orientation manager. Only the last one allows upside down orientation, and it does not work for the lockscreen, which is what i was looking for.

Is wish it were that easy. They stopped allowing upside down rotation for phones about the same time they got rid of buttons, i guess to not confuse the user, but i would still want to have that choice.

Thanks, it works for the lock-screen but it has some weird interactions. The lock-screen closes in less than 3 seconds, and when you reopen it, it's upside down . It does not work for the AOD.
Do you know of a way to keep the lockscreen on for more time? I have the lock set to 1 minute, but the screen turns from lockscreen to AOD in less than 5 seconds.

Yeah, sorry i haven't used that app for a few years, stopped using it when it wouldn't scale landscape home screen correctly.
You could try using the s9 "launcher" maybe it will interact better with the rotation app..... but be aware in my experience message/email etc badges don't show at all (on icons), so definitely not a great solution....but that launcher does have built in rotation.....just not 180 i believe. Also if i remember right the setting in tw settings also enables lock screen rotation...again not 180 but might cooperate better with app.

Nope, the app is a DUD. i bought the payed version and it did not recognize the licence, google reimbursed me. Back to the drawing board.

Only other thing i can think of would be a Smali edit to the stock launcher to allow for 180....you might find something in the TW Mods thread..
