turn off screen rotation for phone
 
I have been caught enough times now for this to be a pain in the a##e.

Can we turn off the screen rotation to make the phone stick in either landscape or portrait. every time i pick up the phone off my desk to answer the screen skips around and i hit reject or nothing by mistake.

It would need to be a simple solution as i am a bit of a slow learner with this things

cheers

Go to Phone app, select application menu "Phone" select "Turning Control", tap "Display Orientation" to select "Portrait", tap-off "Launch by turning", tap "Save"... and your done :)

-open phone app and click the top tab in the biddle
-click rotation setting
-click the first option and set it how you like it
