I have a couple tips for you as it seems you might not be aware of them. im going crazy trying to figure out what happened to it. I used to have my flashlight set to a gesture shortcut and it would activate by double tapping an empty area on my home screen. I also don't see why the Rotation Lock feature had to be removed! Why not just add this just-in-time rotation thingy and keep the old McBee

There are NO options in the Android Settings to turn this on or off. Tap the button, usually with your other hand, because the way you hold a phone when you are about to rotate it almost never puts your thumb in the location where it's easy to tap that tiny, itty-bitty button. HURRY!! You have only a few seconds to act before the button fades away. Does it switch for left-handers? I don't know. If the app can support screen rotation, then a new very tiny button appears in the lower right corner of your screen. That is also something you can do with your thumb of the hand holding your phone. Tap the Rotation Lock button to toggle it. If the lock is off, the screen will rotate if the app will support it.Įither way, this takes one hand, and no extra gestures or effort. If the lock is engaged, the screen does not rotate. Rotate the phone by turning your wrist. I'm not sure whether Samsung or Android did this, or could it be something from Launcher (Arrow)., but auto-rotation is not a good experience now. Or, restore the sound with an audible Beep to confirm (there is no way to restore sound without making a noise of some kind unless you carefully turn down the volume without activating the Vibrate mode). This takes me to the Sounds and vibration settings, where I can go straight to Mute and also choose to make it a Temporary mute. If I really need to go to Mute and do it quietly, I press and hold the Sound button.
And, again to restore Sound with an audible Beep. But if I'm okay with a vibration, then I tap the Sound icon twice: once to put on Vibrate mode, again to actually Mute it. Shall I make a noise while putting the phone on mute? Typically, I don't want to because I'm already in a place where making noises is disruptive. Hopefully, my Sound button is one of the first few buttons, or else I have to swipe down again to show the rest of the Quick Panel. One swipe down from the top edge to show Notifications and the Quick Panel. and then the sound is either muted instantly, or restored instantly, and it works quietly either way (no beep or buzzing). There are three things that I definitely miss.
