Putting your Kindle Fire in landscape mode is quite simple. First tap the gear wheel icon located in the lower right of your device to bring up the settings menu. Then tap the “Display” selection at the top of the menu.
When the display menu opens, you should see a “Device Orientation” section that includes both a “Portrait Orientation Lock” and a “Landscape Orientation Lock”. By default, the landscape orientation lock should be turned off and a green checkmark should appear next to the portrait orientation lock.
To switch to landscape mode, simply tap the checkmark next to the portrait orientation lock to turn it off and then tap the checkmark next to the landscape orientation lock to turn it on. A green checkmark should now appear next to the landscape orientation lock, indicating that your Kindle Fire is now in landscape mode and should stay that way unless you manually change it back.

How do I change from portrait to landscape?
Changing from portrait to landscape in most programs is a relatively simple process.
In Microsoft Office, you can go to the “Page Layout” tab and click on “Orientation”. From there, select the “Landscape” option to instantly change the orientation of your document.

Once the device is correctly positioned, you should see a pop-up allowing you to change the orientation to landscape.
In short, changing from portrait to landscape just takes a few simple steps depending on the program you’re using. With a few clicks or rotation of your device, you should be able to easily switch the orientation of your document or image.
How do I stop my tablet screen from rotating?
If you would like to stop the screen from rotating, the steps vary depending on the make and model of your tablet. Generally, however, most tablets have a rotation lock toggle feature which can be accessed from the quick settings menu or from the display settings.
To access the feature, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the quick settings menu. Then, look for a button or setting with a rotation lock icon. Once you find it, tap on it to lock the screen to one orientation.
On some tablets, you may need to go into the display settings to access the rotation lock. To do this, open the settings app and then tap on the display settings or display mode. Depending on the model, you may have to tap on auto-rotate screen or screen rotation.
Find the toggle switch or button that locks your screen and turn it on.
Keep in mind that some tablets also have an accelerometer setting which can be changed to affect how the device behaves when it’s rotated. If you can’t find the rotation lock option, try disabling the accelerometer setting.
Once you have changed the setting, the device should cease responding to the rotation of the screen.

To lock the orientation of your Samsung tablet, you will need to navigate to the Settings menu. From there, you should go to Display > Screen Orientation. In this menu, you will be able to switch the current orientation (landscape or portrait) and lock it in place by tapping on the Lock icon at the top of the screen.

Where did my auto rotate button go?
Depending on your device, the location of the auto-rotate button may be different. Generally, the auto-rotate button can be found in the quick settings panel within the drop down menu from the top of your screen.
Alternatively, if you don’t have a shortcut in the quick settings panel, you may find the option to toggle the auto-rotate in the display settings. To access this go to the Settings -> Display, or Settings -> System -> Display.
Usually, will you find the auto-rotate toggle in there. Finally, you can also completely disable or enable auto-rotate in the accessibility settings. Go to the Settings -> Accessibility -> Auto-rotate screen and toggle it on or off.
If all these methods fail, depending on your device, you may need to reset the display settings or switch to a different user mode (such as guest mode). This will reset all the display settings, so make sure you are comfortable with this solution before going ahead.
If you still cannot find the auto-rotate button, chances are that your device does not support it.
How do you change a picture from vertical to horizontal?
Changing a picture from vertical to horizontal can be done in a few easy steps. First, open your image in a photo-editing program, such as Photoshop or GIMP. Once the image is open, click the “Image” menu, then click “Image Rotate”, and select “Rotate Canvas”.

Why has my auto rotate stopped working?
First, make sure to check if auto-rotate is enabled in your settings. On many devices, you can access this setting under display, or by swiping down from the top of the screen to reveal quick settings and tapping the auto-rotate icon.

If nothing seems to work, it is possible there may be a hardware issue and it would be advisable to take your device to an authorized repair center for a professional to inspect it.
