Current Hildon UI guidelines specify that if an app is to provide a portrait mode it should use the accelerometer to switch automatically.

I hate this behaviour as well, too sensitive, and extremely annoying with the transition animations.

I hope anyone who adds such automatic rotation to their apps provides a way to disable it and manually toggle as well.
