Screen is turned upside down

Question

I am testing/debugging an Android app and even though i have set

configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"

and used

setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);

the screen turns upside down. This seems to appear on WXGA 4.0, 4.1, 4.2. Is it something related to the API, emulator or something else? I am asking this question because I didn't find anything official and clear.
Thank you.

PS: as a solution, in case there's an API problem, should i check it's version and rotate the screen or is there something better?
