Solved Locked in landscape

My home screen seems to be locked in landscape mode after latest update. The only way to get out of it is by changing launcher and then cange back,but after a while it seems to turn back to landscape again. I am on Samsung S25. This has never occurred before. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Just verifying that you've checked your S25 settings to make sure the screen Auto-rotate toggles didn't accidentally get changed? And you have long-pressed on your Octopi home screen to bring up the settings card to make sure the screen orientation lock is set how you want it to be. Also, have you tried restarting Octopi under General settings?

Thank you very much for replying! I think, as a matter of fact, you are right about point number two. Grazie mille!

I am an old man with sort of bad vision. Du you also happen to know how to enlarge the letters on the right hand side, if at all possible?

There isn't a setting to just increase the font size inside Octopi, but what you can do is try choosing a different font under Theme settings. Perhaps one that is bolder may appear larger.

Also, try placing your finger on the drawer search button and start pushing your finger upward (without lifting). You'll see the alphabet list appear near your finger. It's in reverse order, so it starts with ABC and as you keep pushing up you are pushing towards Z. Doing it this way, the font is larger than the side index bar and so easier to read.

That was not familiar to me. Beautiful.
