Answer 1

Using Cordova Screen Orientation Plugin we fixed.

In app.js

document.addEventListener("deviceready", function() {
    if (window.innerHeight <= 736 || window.innerWidth <= 736) {
        screen.orientation.lock('portrait');
    } else {
        screen.orientation.unlock('portrait');
    }
});

window.addEventListener("orientationchange", function() {
    if (window.innerHeight <= 736 || window.innerWidth <= 736) {
        screen.orientation.lock('portrait');
    } else {
        screen.orientation.unlock('portrait');
    }
});

If you want to allow potrait mode only, then add -

<platform name="android">
    <preference name="Orientation" value="portrait" />
    <allow-intent href="market:*" />
</platform>

inside <widget> tag in config.xml in your project folder.

You may not be able to find Tablet or Mobile version as far as this Cordova Device plugin is considered.

You can get the following properties -

• device.cordova //version of Cordova running on the device.
• device.model //name of the device's model or product
• device.platform //device's operating system name
• device.uuid
• device.version
• device.manufacturer //the device's manufacturer.
• device.isVirtual //device is virtual(emulated) or real
• device.serial

Use following code,

document.addEventListener("deviceready", function() {
if (window.innerHeight <= 736 || window.innerWidth <= 736) {
    screen.orientation.lock('portrait');
} else {
    screen.orientation.unlock('portrait');
}
});
