[Issue]: Closing stream using "Back" gesture on Tecno breaks orientation.

Author: XO6bl4Created Sep 20, 2026Updated Sep 20, 2026
Labelsbug

Describe the bug

After leaving desktop stream using "back" gesture, orientation preserves even after exiting app, locking the screen or any other action. Upper half of screen is rotated 90 degrees everywhere, even on lock screen. Android becomes unusable because of that because your view now becomes this (check screenshots)

Steps to reproduce

NOTE: this is inconsistent for some reason, cannot reproduce ATM (read Additional Context)

  1. Connect to desktop stream
  2. Exit desktop stream using "Back" gesture (a pull from middle edge of screen towards center of screen)
  3. Encounter this problem.

Affected games

At the moment of issue I was playing "TYR" tank game. Not sure if this is game-specific as I cannot test this (read "Additional Context")

Additional context

I'll leave some sections/options in "I think it's like this" state mainly because it happened to me twice now and never again. I tried the same "environment" but failed to reproduce multiple times. I will update this issue if this happens again. Also wtf
