A way to fix the Phone app as Portrait permanently?
 

With the Phone app, uou can only set the orientation as Portrait and Automatic.
But with either modes, it will switch between landscape and portrait depending on how my phone is held.

It's super annoying when I don't want it to flip but it does and keeps doing it. Until I keep it still.
Not good during speaker phone mode and I'm holding my phone. It's way to erratic.

So I want my phone to be kept in Portrait orientation no matter what. Permanently. Is this possible??
(Even when I slide out the keyboard, turn it around etc etc. Just fixed in portrait)

If you set it to portrait it will NOT rotate if you rotate the phone, it will only rotate if you open the keyboard.

However, I do not know if it is possible to keep the phone in portrait mode even after you open the keyboard.

well this is not a phone so it was designed to be used in landscape mode but phone appl and web browser can work in portrait mode. If u want phone with portait mode u should buy a phone not computer :)

Whether it is a phone or not has nothing to do with it. Actually, using the phone app in landscape-only mode is not even possible.

I agree with the OP that the flipping is unwanted, it causes a time delay when trying to pick up the phone (often closing the keyboard in the process). I would actually rather set it to landscape, as long as it stays like that.

@rrdbala: Launch the phone app, tap on the "phone" along the top which launches the menu, then tap Turning Control and change display orientation to Portrait.

That's what I expect but it's not the case most of the time.
I have it set to portrait but it still flips to landscape often. :mad:

Could you please exactly explain in which case or situation?

Re: A way to fix the Phone app as Portrait permanently?
 

It should not be doing that if you set it to Portrait. As Helmuts said, please provide more details on when exactly this is happening i.e. after you finish a call, or straight after you open the phone app etc.

I have to agree, there still is some uncontrollable switching between Landscape/portrait despite setting it to display Portrait only. The phone application is somewhat immature. :(
