I am wondering if anyone has played around with the registry settings for the G Sensor with regards to landscape and portrait orientation sensitivity.
Sometimes I only have to tilt my HD a few degrees and it will flick to landscape, other times I can hold it in landscape for a few seconds before it changes.
I will post any interesting results from my own tinkering but would be interested to know if anyones has an idea where to start.

So I got my SGS2 a few weeks back and the phone just didn't like to auto rotate. No big deal because I actually had it turned off with my T-Mobile Vibrant most of the time. However, unlike my Vibrant, the SGS2 would rotate into landscape and never reurn to portrait. The calibration function did not work. Scratching my head, I researched and found out that my accelerometer was faulty.
Diagnosis: *#0*# and tap sensor then look at the accelerometer values. My "y" value was indicating 0 (zero) which meant it does not function. Apparently I am not the only SGS2 owner with this problem so I thought I would fire a post on here just in case soeone else runs into this issue.
Solution: Get a new phone! T-Mobile was nice about it since I'm within the 30 day buyers remorse.
Hope this helps someone in the future!
Key words: Auto rotate problem landscape portrait malfunction gyroscope
maybe boot into CWR and wipe everything?
no problem with mine
i use my phone on auto and it switches instantly between landscape to vertical and back depending how i hold my phone
which some times i find annoying, and i disable the auto rotate until i get off the bed or sofa
Ok I turned off auto rotation. its VERY annoying when I am lying in bed browsing and the stinking think keeps rotating the screen.
problem is now "I CAN'T" rotate when I need to.
core problem is pictures. it keeps rotating my pictures.
so its displaying pictures 90' off axis. the only pictures it does not rotate are ones I shoot in portrait. those the picture axis remains inline with the screen axis.
but if I shoot a landscape picture (phone on its side) it DISPLAYS it rotated in PORTRAIT orientation (ie using 1/3 the screen) instead of LEAVING IT the same axis as the screen not the phone.
since I don't have auto rotation turned on .... I can't "rotate" the picture by tilting the phone again.
is there a way to STOP the camera auto rotating or adding rotation info to exif ie anyway to force ALL pics to rotate to the same axis as the screen (long side to long side)
OR is there a way for me to FINE TUNE auto rotation so its not so stinking sensitive? IE make it so I have to tilt A LOT FURTHER before it "rotates" and then I could turn auto rotation back on ???
Install smart rotator
Turn on rotation
Go into the app and turn everything to auto rotate
Than turn off everything you don't want to rotate
This order works best...if you did the opposite you will have some issues with the camera at least thats what I found.
NOTE: This will not fix the home screen issue.
Installed the app so far working very well. thank you for the suggestion. I wish I could justchange the angle that triggers the shift.
Anyone having any rotation issues with their camera?
I went to the see the Twin Atlantics last night and took numerous videos, all of which were taken holding the phone horizontally.
Four of the seven videos play vertically even though I hold the phone horizontally, resulting in the picture playing 90 degrees the wrong way. If I hold the phone vertically, the picture rotates 90 degrees the wrong way again. Very strange, I can't think why this happens when the other three videos play at the correct angle.
Any ideas?
No, but have had same...

Have you found a solution to this issue? I am having exactly the same problem..
Is your accelerometer off? I noticed when I turned off auto-rotate I started having problems with the camera. I enabled and disabled again and it fixed it for the time being. Make sure that when you are taking a picture, the video recording button and the shutter button are oriented the correct way.
same problem on just one video,started recording vertical and then quick rotate to horizontal, screen rotated but when playing its show small video box. Others started in right way got no playing problem.
Is there a way to tweak the responsiveness of the orientation sensor?
I mean when I rotate my phone from portrait to landscape and vice versa I have to wait 3/4 seconds for the screen to change for the correct orientation, no matter if the phone is laggy or freshly rebooted. Is there a way to tweak it so it would react almost instantly when rotating the phone?
Does anyone else's camera get confused when rotating.
Sometimes the buttons are upside down and other times it doesn't change between landscape and portrait.
