Splash screen default orientation problem

I've got a problem that I'm stumped on and I need some advise. I've scoured the forums and read the docs but can't find the solution. It is this;

My iOS and Android app needs to run in left or right landscape modes only. In the PlayerSettings I've set Default orientation to Auto-Rotation and ticked Landscape Left and Landscape Right options only (ie. I've unticked Portrait and Portrait Upside Down).

When I run on either iOS or Android devices the splash screen will only pick one of the 2 options and will not use the orientation-sensor to determine the correct orientation for the splash screen. Once the first scene has loaded and the game code starts running then the orientation corrects itself, but having an upside down splash screen is unacceptable for us.

What's interesting is that if I select all 4 auto-rotation orientations then it picks the right one in the splash screen, so clearly it can honour the sensor on that screen, its only if I select 2 orientations that it doesnt work. It also doesnt work if I select just the 2 portrait modes either, again it only uses one of them.

Right now this looks like a Unity bug to me, but I cant believe something so fundamental would still be in there, so I'm reaching out to the community in the hope it's just something I've messed up.

Btw, I'm on Unity 4.1.0f4.

 

Alexey sorry it actually works fine on iOS, the problem is purely on Android only.

 

I'm getting this behavior on both iOS and Android. I've selected Auto Rotation checked Landscape Right and Landscape Left, and the splash screen always appears in Landscape Left, even when the device is rotated to Landscape Right BEFORE starting the app. This certainly looks like a bug.

 

I'm using the latest Unity (4.1.2f1) xcode (4.6.2).

 

Many thanks Bitter -- that was it! Set Minimum API Level to 'Android 2.3.1 Gingerbread (API Level 9)' and the landscape orientation is now correct.

 

I wanted to solve this problem without having to change my minimum API level above 8 (Froyo). Here's how I did it:

1. In Player Settings for Android, I changed Default Orientation to Landscape Left.

2. In my main script file, which is always present and running in my Hierarchy, I added this to my Update() function.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. if (Input.deviceOrientation == DeviceOrientation.LandscapeRight)
3. {
4.     Screen.orientation = ScreenOrientation.LandscapeRight;
5. }
6. else if (Input.deviceOrientation == DeviceOrientation.LandscapeLeft)
7. {
8.     Screen.orientation = ScreenOrientation.LandscapeLeft;
9. }
10.  

This seems to work fine, the only drawback being that the splash screen will display upside down if the user is holding the device in Landscape Right orientation before launching the app. For me it's still better than being able to draw the splash screen in portrait mode.

 

I have found this bug in my project and solved it successfully. There is no bug from unity side.

I have checked my android manifest file and in that one of the manifest file contains wrong orientation.
I have change it to correct one and everything works fine.

 

ive got this same/similar problem. Im using unity pro 4.6.1f1 and Set "Minimum API Level" to Gingerbread 2.3.1 (level 9).

I have just switched from IOS to android (everything was working perfect on IOS) but now when i build with landscape left and right selected in player settings and auto rotation on (or even just landscape left or right) the game starts in portrait mode and either crashes straight away or when i flip the phone over to landscape position it crashes.

if i start the game holding the phone (galaxy s3) in landscape position the game will start and can be played. But if i then turn the phone over to portrait position the game crashes.

Does anyone know how i can fix this please? Basically i just want the auto rotation - landscape left and right to work.

Oh i should mention i build my games with playmaker so not the worlds greatest coder.

Thanks.
