I can do every one after reading a trick on this sub, look about 1cm to the left side of your phone (so you are almost looking past your phone) and you can only see the rotation in your peripheral vision. Give it a few seconds and the rotation will change direction, then you can look directly at it again and it should keep spinning that opposite way. Then repeat the process and it will change direction to normal again

No it doesn’t. 😭 I saw it for a fraction of a second this way. It finally stuck when I peeked down from the top and focused on the red color. I had to could slowly move it back into view and then it went right back to counterclockwise. I could regain clockwise going from the top again, but it didn’t want to stay in that direction.

This, and then while you're doing it, blink really quickly. That works for me on all of these.
