Rotating phone causes screen view to lock

[GabeTheFirst]

Whenever I'm using the pandora app, if I rotate my phone, then turn it back vertical, the app will go into a square at the top of my screen, and now it even messes up the player controls half of the time. I mean it's not that annoying, I can still use the notification controls or restart the app, but it's still annoying when I accidentally rotate. It still works on landscape all of the time though.

@GabeTheFirst Would it be possible to send us a screen shot/screen-recording of what you are seeing?

Thanks for working with us on this. 🤝

Thanks for sending that over, @GabeTheFirst.

I recommend running through the troubleshooting steps listed here:  Troubleshooting for Android Devices

If you continue to experience issues with this, I'd like to report your issue to our engineering team.

Can you send over a bit more info about your device?

• Model:
• Carrier:
• Android version (Settings > About Phone):
• Build number (Settings > About Phone):
• Android Security Patch Level, if noted on your device (Settings > About Phone):
• Pandora version:
  • If you can open Pandora, go to Profile, then select Settings. Scroll to the bottom of the screen for the version number.
  • If you can't open Pandora: from Android Home screen > Android Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Find Pandora

Does this only happen when an ad is playing? Or is this reproducible at any time?

Let me know what you can find out.

 It is reporduceable all of the time. It's a sprint lg g8 thinq, with android 10, build number is QKQ1.190929.002, sequrity patch level is October 1st 2020, and the pandora version is, 2010.1? Is that what you needed?

@GabeTheFirst I have created a ticket with our engineering team, and provided them with your information.

Thank you for your patience as they take the time to further investigate this. 🤝

Pandora on Android can't swipe back to previously-played songs when the phone / app is in a horizontal format.  Please fix this.
