Since the latest update when I watch Sky go or Netflix my phone will only work on landscape for 5 minutes then reverts back to portrait.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

So the solution was finally found and it works! Go to Settings->Apps->tap the three vertical dots on top right corner->special access->appear on top. And here disable all applications. It works and so far I have not experienced any issues with the Phone. It could be that the problem was caused by one application, but I disabled all. Please let know if it worked for you as well! Cheers

Mine does the same now after update, so annoying. I really don't want to have to factory reset as now the geniuses at Samsung have decided to not support memory cards anymore I will lose all my music and files etc. At least with a memory card you could put it all on there then take it out and factory reset then just pop the card back in. If this auto rotate fixes for you can you let me know on here and I will do the same for you?

I was on the phone to like you I don't want to do a full reset. The part reset doesn't work.

This shouldn't be happening on a £1000+ phone. It's disgusting really

I've had a few problems I've got a s21 ultra absolutely should have no problems with it for how !uch Samsung charge for the phone. Real let down. At least with 2 of us with this problem it seems like a software problem rather than the actual phone

Hey everyone.

This is quite unusual behaviour that I haven't seen before. If you launch a video from the native video-player (for example, using My Files), does it revert back to portrait as well after "X" amount of minutes?

This isn't a fix but a work around, have you tried watching it in landscape and while in landscape pulling down the drop down menu and locking the orientation?? I know that doesnt fix it but could resolve it for now.

I did a factory reset in the end. I backed up everything then reset. Hours to restore but it fixed it.
