Screen Orientation bug

[SaintNine]

Since the update to One UI 6.1 the screen orientation option (switch from portrait to landscape) has stopped working necessitating a restart. It will work after a restart but if I try to use it a day later it just ignores the screen orientation. This is extremely annoying. For one thing I have to change my wallpaper (I found the default hideous and have a live wallpaper and screensaver) which takes fairly long because of the time it takes to register apps on the SD card. I also have to add a number of items to my edge panel as they get removed every time I restart. Finally there's just the time it takes to restart in the first place. It was working fine before the update. FYI I have a Galaxy A14 5G, model number SM-A146P running Android 14 U. Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions for fixes? Thank you

I'm sorry to learn of the issues you are experiencing @SaintNine 

As a first step please try these troubleshooting steps. 

• Safe Mode  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-start-my-galaxy-device-in-safe-mode/ turns off downloaded apps and themes etc which may highlight an app or theme that's causing conflict. Alternatively long press the power off button and then long hold on Turn Off to get to Safe Mode. 
• Clear Cache Files from the phone's System Partition Section  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ You may need to insert your earphones or hook upto a powered On Laptop or use a Tv's USB Port to access the Clear Partition Section. This may help with lag or stutters as this clears the phone of old/unused or broken cache files.There is also a Repair Apps option in the Menu System too { Possibly excluding the s²⁴ Series of phone's } 

Please let us know how you get on.

Thank you for those recommendations, I haven't got round to trying them yet but I will let you know whether they work or not. It will take a while as the problem only occurs after a day or so, the screen switches to landscape fine when I restart the phone. It's also happening with any app and has only happened since the OneUI update and pretty much within a day or two of that. Thanks again

I forgot the code and I can't finish resetting the phone

Any update on this? I still have the same issue. I have to restart to fix it. Here's how it looks when I try to play a game. After I restart, It'll work as if nothing happens
