So my phone Android screen keeps making 180 turns despite disabling "Landscape" mode. Other possible culprits I can think are gyroscope or accelerators that have overly-sensitive responses. Or maybe some app permissions are overriding the landscape mode? Maaybe some devs like @DaveC426913 or @jack action , or anyone else can suggest a way of disabling the auto 180 flip? Annoying to watch a video, do anything in the phone and have it flip for no apparent reason.
Check you device's setting about Screen Rotation. Is turned on or is turned off?

Thanks, my phone doesn't have that option; "Landscape" is the closest to it.

Understandable, I guess. I had one just as bad. One might guess that you have a very cheap device.
