A common problem with automatic screen rotation is that the phone often rotates when you didn't mean it to. At the same time, locking to portrait or landscape is a pain since it takes so many clicks to change mode when you really do want to change mode.

The Jolla dynamic orientation mode (automatic turn control) has a nice feature where it is possible to temporarily disable screen rotation by holding a finger on the screen while rotating. This allows you to turn a portrait mode phone sideways, without automatic rotation activating.

I propose to add the dual of this motion: Temporarily add screen rotation by holding a finger on the screen. That way, you can lock the phone to either portrait or landscape, but easily change to the other orientation simply by holding a finger on the screen while turning the phone. The new orientation will then be locked. This would entirely get rid of irritating mistaken rotations, but still make it very quick and easy to turn the phone when you really want to.
