Turn auto rotate off on Android

Sometimes the autorotation feature on android is great, other times it can be frustrating.
There is the option to disable auto rotate, which we will detail below, but sometimes even when auto-rotation is disabled certain apps will still auto rotate, such as YouTube for example. Luckily, there is a way to turn it off altogether.
Android auto rotate settings
First of all, if you simply want to turn auto rotate off, you can navigate to settings > display. There is then a tick box to turn auto rotate on and off. This will stop the vast majority of apps from auto rotating.
Many handsets now provide a toggle which can be placed on your homescreen to turn auto rotate on and off. If not, apps such as Widgetsoid can do so. Another app called Notification Toggle will put a shortcut in your notification bar.
Turn auto rotate off completely
Certain apps will ignore the auto rotate setting in Android. Usually this is to provide optimum picture, however there may be some situations when you do not want the handset to auto route.
In order to completely prevent autorotation, you can down load an app called Set Orientation. This forces all apps into the orientation that you specify. Once the app is running there a shortcut will appear in the status bar so that you can easily change or disable the orientation if you so choose.
You should be aware that the app can force certain apps to close by preventing their orientation, but it should run fine for most.
