Supported orientation madness - iphone

Question

I know this is the most commonly asked question and trust me I have tried every kind of combination to make this happen and went through most posts here on stack overflow.
I have a UINavigationController called v1ViewController and what I am trying to do is when it is shown to the user I just want it to either show in portrait or portrait-up-side-down modes, no landscape even if the user rotates the device in landscape it shouldn't do anything.
NOTE: I did highlight all options in Xcode for supported interface orientations as in one of my other view controller I need to show user something in both landscape and portrait modes but for this UINav Conrtoller I want it to just remain in portrait modes.
The code I have for iOS 5.0 work just fine without a problem.
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
// Return YES for supported orientations
if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait)
{
return YES;
}
else if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)
{
return YES;
}
else
{
return NO;
}
}
the headache I have is with iOS 6. No matter what I try and do it still lets the user rotate the bloody thing in landscape (see code and screenshots)
// *********************

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotate
{
UIInterfaceOrientation interfaceOrientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];
if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait)
{
return YES;
}
else if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)
{
return YES;
}
else
{
return NO;
}
}
- (UIInterfaceOrientation)preferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait;
}
-(NSUInteger)supportedInterfaceOrientations
{
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait | UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortraitUpsideDown;
}

You need to ensure you override the base UINavigationController and assign a custom class to it(not just the viewController that is the subview for the UINavController..ie the view contained below the navigationBar). Inside the UINavigationController, return NO on shouldAutoRotate.
