Xperia Tablet Z screen orientation

[Igorest]

After upgrading to Lollipop can't fix vertical screen orientation. When I fix the screen, it's always making horizontal orientation.

Are you trying to turn off the screen orientation?

Since the last update, I experience the same phenomenon. 

While in the previous android version it was possible to keep the screen locked in portrait orientation, in this update this option is now gone. 

It seems like there is only an option to auto rotate or keep it in landscape orientation, but not lock it like it used to be. 

I hope Sony will release an update and allow this again because right now this is very annoying and disappointing!

When I lock the rotation it is always keeping landscape orientation, cant lock vertical orientation.

Yes this is what I meant but you wrote this shortly..

@Igorest

you need a third party app, check the play store.

I've tried third party apps but even those weren't capable of locking the screen on portrait. 

The two I've downloaded returned the screen to landscape when I selected portrait...

Igorest, did that "solution" helped you? I've tried a numerous number of apps and all of them couldn't fix the problem. 

It's the OS thats keeping the screen in landscape, no matter what happens..

what if you use a third party home launcher?
