Bixby Routine - Rotate Game into Portrait Mode not working after update

Members_3W1vmJj — Sat, 08 Apr 2023 22:15:47 GMT

I am someone who rarely updates his OS (to be save from exactly the problem I am having now) but I updated my Fold 3 to the newest OS version and now my old bixby routines are A) deleted and B) after reproducing them, they dont work.
I hate playing in landscape when the phone is unfolded, so I had a routine that forced games into portrait mode.

If "Game is open" or "If App is open" (both are not working) then "Rotate Portrait mode" did work fine for me for the longes time, but now, my game still goes into landscape mode. My phone tells me, that the routine is active, but alas, it does not yield the wanted results.

Any way to fix this?

@Members_3W1vmJj: I'm sorry to hear that your Bixby Routines aren't working as expected. Is the screen orientation switching to Landscape mode for all games, or just certain ones? Furthermore, is the orientation changing without you turning the screen?

Although it isn't ideal, you do have the option of swiping from the top of the screen to the bottom and tapping on the Auto rotate symbol in the Quick panel, so it locks to Portrait mode.

I would not know, I only have one game installed.

Yes.

Game still opens in landscape mode
