Title: screen orientation lock icon
Post by: miles hebden on November 15, 2012, 02:56:28 AM
Had a update to my Nexus last night and have now lost the screen orientation lock icon on the slide down bar. How do I get this back?

Swiping down on the left hand side of the screen opens notifications, swiping down on the right side opens quick settings and this is where you'll find the auto rotate option.

Hope that helps...

No sorry this does not help. I know where the swipe downs are, but the orientation lock icon has gone.

If it is not locked it isn't a lock icon. Its a rotating rectangle.
Does the screen rotate?
