How to get rid of this pop-up suggestion? (Nothing Phone 2a, Android 15)
I know a lot of people like this feature, which i can understand, but i think it is annoying as hell to have yet another thing popping up in my screen i didn't ask for...
Depending on your device you can disable it by holding the Auto Rotate button from the settings panel and unselect "Show rotate button on navigation bar"
I should've included it in the first place, but i have the Nothing Phone 2a on Android 15 (added it in title). Here there's no such option...
Can confirm there's also no such setting on a Pixel running "stock" Android. Inclined to believe this is a feature specific to (potentially) something like Samsung's OneUI. Doesn't appear for most people that there's an easy way to disable it.
Personally, I like it better than the one that used to appear next to the task switcher, but I can understand the annoyance.
Technically, if you disable rotation lock it won't show
Yeah...haha. You know, i used to have auto rotation turned on a lot before, but for whatever reason Nothing decided to remove that 'feature' for their launcher, lockscreen and settings app... So, now auto rotation is really uncomfortable to use.
As someone on Android and has never once seen that..what in the hell is it?
If you have rotation lock enabled then you rotate your phone, it pops up. You can tap it to rotate the screen on this one off occasion instead of having rotate on all the time.
It's a little button that pops up in the bottom left corner when you've rotated your phone but have auto rotate off on newish versions of Android. If you push it, it rotated to landscape or portrait depending on what you're already in. It's animated and shows an icon of a phone rotating, which can be quite distracting at first or on certain flavours/brand implementations of Android. It animated about 3 times in stock Android before sticking around for a few extra secs then vanishing until you rotate back to your chosen orientation and back
This doesnt exist on AOSP / Stock Android 15, yay!
If you're planning on replacing the original OS anyway, why does it matter how modified from stock Android it is?
Got a Pixel with GrapheneOS and there's no apparent way to disable the button.
That's your rotate screen, you can probably turn it off in the swipe down toggles, but if you reactivate it, it will show up again. If your phone doesn't support that natively, you could try custom ROMs or mods, maybe even just switching launchers.
Agreed, I hate it
May I ask what use cases you experience that lead you to hate it? It only seems to be an "issue" when I'm on my phone in bed on my side, which is a bad habit to have, that this indirectly discourages.
Exact same reason as OP. It's annoying to have something pop up on my phone that I didn't ask for. I don't like floating overlay buttons.
You know if you wait like 4 seconds it goes away automatically
