Anyone else experience this? It just keeps flipping upside down as you rotate phone. Using Galaxy S10.
The ZCA will not display sideways.
Itās always displayed sideways fine for me. Itās just upside down all of a sudden.
The Companion App doesnāt have a sideways display function. Youāre probably using one of those force orientation apps. Make sure itās set up correctly.
I guess it could be a native orientation app in the S10 as I didnāt install anything. At any rate, I updated the Zwift app and itās right side up again.
First Day with Zwift, installed it on my Huawei P20ā¦initially it was correct orientation, but after trying to get the sensors to work (doubt that has anything to do with it) it decided to be upside down, and stay that way, despite me switching off auto rotate on my phone. Each time I rotate my phone, Zwift flipped to be upside down again ![]()
Iām experiencing the same thing on Android. The orientation all of a sudden is upside down. It was working correctly for a few days. Now no matter what I do itās upside down. very annoying!
Of no consolation Iām sure, but my problem is now fixed. ZWIFT was last updated on my phone 13th Feb 2020, so perhaps that fixed it.
I rebooted my Android device. And that fixed the problem.
Thank you for your help.
Continuing the discussion from Companion App is auto rotating upside down?:
I only installed Zwift today 6 May 20 and found the companion app on my Galaxy S10 plus phone flipping upside down no matter which way in landscape my S10 was placed. I had to complete a ride by rotating my head to see the app images.
The manual workaround after the ride was to disable the auto rotate option in the Samsung Galaxy S10. It does seem strange the app does that on a brand new version of the app downloaded and installed the same day I first used it when apparently earlier posts suggest the issue was fixed with an earlier update.
Maybe I will try the reboot option too but for now, I know disabling autorotate prevents the issue. Sounds like a bug to me though.
Okay sounds basic. Was having the same upside down issueā¦all of a sudden⦠tried the basic solution of powering down the phone⦠was pessimistic but voila. It worked. At least for now. Thanks.
After an update to the app I had the same problem on a Galaxy Note 10. Rebooting seems to have fixed it.
For the past two weeks the screen rotation lock no longer works while the Zwift app is up.
Device is a Samsung Note 10+ running Android V11 Last system update 1 Feb. '21
Zwift V.1.0.63186
Noticed the same yesterday. I use the Android app on my phone, and I made a DIY solution to use my Garmin Out-front mount, which is set up pretty level horizontally. The picture kept turning upside down, although I turned the automatic screen rotation off. It was really annoying.
Download āRotation Controlā from Android market. Then turn on and allow app to start. Than move with fingertop of screen to see notifications. Than switch to landscape but also turn that icon with Shield on. The shield icon is forcing to ignore sensor. Good luck with that, work for me with Note 10+.
I have the same issue. Zwift is running on my Android phone mounted to the handlebar. I use a freeroller for training and the screen rotates continously due to the movement. System level auto-rotation is turned off, but Zwift app rotates the screen anyways. It is very sensitive and rotates rapidly. I consider it is a bug.
I donāt think this has ever worked - it has always forced landscape but flips to whichever way the screen is facing.
have you tried using a screen rotation app? I have used this one before:
not for zwift but i use it to flip my screen upside down when using the companion app so that the charging cable comes out of the phone and away from the bike
I just tested two free apps for this from the play store. Neither of them stopped the screen from rotating.
Di you test the obe I linked? That one definitely works
You have to enable some permissions and enable screen rotation but then itās fibe
Yes, that was the first one I tried. I even restarted my phone and confirmed that the app was enabled and running.
It just couldnāt prevent the screen from flipping.
