It depends on the kind of phone you are using.

But the method that applies generally to all phones. Is that u unlock the phone and go to settings, then look for three storey building and stand at the apex floor.
Throw your phone from up there and wait for some minutes then go downstairs to pick your phone. Im very sure the screen would have stopped autorotating.

The second method is to fetch a bucket of water and gently put the phone there for about 3mins. Then kindly bring it out. It will never auto rotate again and u can thank me for this.

GIONEE M5 marathon android 5.1

ah! why like that ?? which model you are using ? check you may have updates in your device by going to settings, about phones, software info, if you any update there, then tap on that to update your device.

Because if you have adnroid 6.0 or 7.0 like that you may be having auto bugs capture feature, and the relevant device developer team send updates to fix bugs.

You can also Update firmware, if you are unable to resolve this issue still.

Did it start recently or has it been this way since you bought the phone.

I think you should try using a screen rotation app to force portrait mode, you can download some on the play store.

You should also think of upgrading the phone, Gionee M5 is upgradable to Android 6.0 Marshmallow, it should fix the problem.

Really, I use a Mini, so expected the M5 to be upgradable too.

Well try the screen rotation app 1st, is your phone rooted?

There are times when we Factory Reset our phone and forget the Google Password. Google Password or Gmail ID Password is the most important thing.

I can recommend an app which i also use - Rotation Control (google playstore)

The app is nice and supports all degrees of rotation, because sometimes i love to use my phone in reverse portrait
