So why is it that when I have the auto screen rotation turned off my phone still decides to rotate? It never was like this until yesterday. I have the option unchecked and it still decides to do it. I also tried resetting the LauncherPro to default but it was still doing it. Is this just a part of the new update?

There's a setting for auto-rotate in the regular Settings>Screen menu and then another one inside of LP... and they arent always set the same, maybe check and make sure that neither one is checked?

Just recently, my Auto Rotate function broke.
I noticed it failing intermittently over the last couple of weeks, but didn't think anything of it, as I thought it was a setting issue.
But then the other day it failed completely.
The camera is stuck in Landscape mode, but the rest of the phone functions in Portrait mode.
I can't change either.
When I started trouble shooting a couple of days ago, I did the following:
- Power cycled the S3. Didn't fix the issue.
- recalibrated Gyro sensor. Still broken.
- Pulled battery for 30 seconds, reinstalled and rebooted phone. Auto Rotate was still broken. I repeated the process, and auto rotate started working again. But only for a couple of minutes, then it broken again.
- Repeated the above process, worked and then broke again.
- I reset my S3 to Factory Default, but Auto Rotate is still broken.
- Auto Rotate completely broken at this point.
I called Sprint, created an eticket, and went to the Sprint store. They checked it out, and verified that Auto Rotate is broken. They are ordering me a replacement S3 Pebble Blue, 32GB device. Hopefully I'll get a new device, and not a refurbed.
I don't know why Auto Rotate broke, but I hope it is not a widespread issue, as I'd hate for it to keep breaking.
Auto Rotate used to be a simple function, but Samsung added a few options to the Auto rotate feature, maybe complicated the way it works, which is prone more to breaking the feature. I don't know.
I just noticed that my Screen Off while on a call is not working. I checked the appropriate setting.
I'm unsure when exactly that function broke, and I don't think it's related to the Auto rotate function, as it's a different sensor.
I used to be able to cover the sensor with my hand, and the screen would shut off, but not anymore.
Anyway, if anyone else is having the above issue(s), it may not be a setting issue, but a hardware failure.
Maybe you turned auto rotate off?

That was one of the first things I made sure of.
Are you running a custom launcher like apex or holo? If so, the launcher settings will override your phone settings. If you have a custom launcher, make sure that auto rotate is enabled in both the launcher and system settings.

As I mentioned, I reset the S3 to Factory Default, and still have the issues.
The Auto Rotate is still broken, as is the Screen Off sensor during calls.
I am running ADW Launcher Ex, but the above doesn't work with either the stock or ADW Launcher.
As for the proximity sensor, make sure that you don't have any apps that use the sensor as a function such as "wave control".

No apps, as my apps are at a minimum since I'm swapping out phones Tuesday.
I didn't even bother to Root this S3 again.
Sounds to me like you just got a defective device. Hopefully the replacement will be good! I have not heard of many problems with this phone at all so I am sure you will be good to go with the next one.
wow! i'm having the exact same issue, guess i'll unroot and swap it... thanks for the post (a year later )

It's only been a couple of months
Has anyone figured out how to prevent the camera settings from going back to their default settings? This happens at least once a day or even more if I use the gps. I think it has something to do with the camera being attached to the location services with geo tagging. It happens if I leave it on or off. Just gets really annoying having to always change it back to save my pics to internal storage and the front facing camera to 8mp.

Try disabling the shortcut keys. It worked for me.

Not sure I understand. Which shortcut keys?

Volume up - Quickmemo
Volume down - Camera
I was having this issue several times per day. It's been over a week since I disabled the shortcuts, and the problem is over for me.

Found it. I never even use those shortcut keys anyways. Hopefully the settings stay put. Thanks for the tip!

I just discovered something new. I was trying to save some battery using Snapdragon Batteryguru and the camera settings began resetting, again. So, if you are using a similar app, try disabling it.
I just got the phone (H812, Rogers, Canada) and I'm also having that issue, I'll disable the shortcut keys =( that's not nice though, I liked the quick launch. Hope they fix as I don't like having settings reset.
so my s8+ keeps reverting all developer menu settings and toggles to factory as well as not allowing some accessibility settings to be saved (ultimate rotation control for example never gets access to the accessibility settings while when i first got it, it did just fine and no app update to it)
as well as now some apps using text to speech even though both the vision settings are off and talk back is even disabled
what the hell is going on with this phone?!
unknown sources keeps reverting to off, gpu and other settings keep reverting to stock.
i know of one other who has had this issue on this forum and neither of us know whats going on.
any help would be appreciated

Ok, I'm not the only one who noticed that the setting to allow apps to be installed from unknown sources was turning itself off.

Just going to toss out the obvious, but did you make sure when you allow the unknown sources, you uncheck the "only this time" box?
For 'Unknown Sources' to remain active, you need to click on the actual title 'Unknown Sources' in bold. You will then get a warning that you need to agree to. Once you do, it will remain active.
Haven't had any other issues w/ settings reverting back but you may want to try the above method and see if it helps.
I'm on ATT carrier/device and mine reverts to off also with every reboot. I didn't even notice until I read this thread, I guess I haven't been installing any apk.mirrow apps lately.
The above method did not work for me. Thanks for the heads up though to the both of you.
This phone and it's firmware hassles and issues is getting old real quick lol. We need root asap.....

Mine has this issue to with developer setting. Keep screen on during charge keep reverting to off.... wierd!
I've noticed it forgets settings, the unknown sources, the volume control for bluetooth keeps turning off on its own so I have to enable it.
I have also had it change my settings for Do Not Disturb. I stopped using DND because it is too unreliable. Using an app instead.

no...... no it will not this is the whole issue, i (and others) agree to the warning and then later after the install or update it then of it's own accord reverts to off; and since allow unknown source will NEVER toggle to on UNLESS you agree i'm not sure what you're thinking of.......
My screen time out keep reversing back to 1 minutes after inactivity, after I change to 5 minutes and come out from settings
To start, I've mentioned this in the ROM thread and no one ever got back to me. Twice. Not sure if it's a ROM issue or a permission I accidentally blocked when sweeping through system and app permissions.
ROM: freedom os (obv rooted)
Problem: notifications only show up on a few applications. In particular, LINE and text messages. No other apps on my entire device gives notifications at all. What I've found is that when I'm USING the apps, they'll show the notifications. Also sometimes after rebooting my device, all my notifications that have been "collecting" since last reboot will all go off (which leads to it making notification sounds and vibrating for a good five minutes).
I've tried googling this like crazy and can't seem to find the resolution. Again, I feel it's probably something I accidentally blocked when I shouldn't have, so any guidance would be appreciated!
Did you try going to settings->battery->battery optimization and setting the particular app to "don't optimize"?
Or in the same settings menu, you can completely turn off the battery optimization from the 3dot menu.

Sorry for the late response - I thought this emailed when a response came in lol. Anyway, yup I had made sure that wasn't set. As for completely turning it off, the 3 dots has "advanced optimization" which only has one switch, "Advanced optimization - restricted background activity of apps more aggressively..." which is turned off right now.
Still having this issue ( Afraid I'm gonna just have to wipe w/ another rom, but I like this rom minus this one issue so far
Hey all, I have an unlocked S9+ from Sammy. At night when I unlock the device it opens then in a second seems like the screen adjust dimmer (I even thought maybe it was blue light mode). I have checked everything. Automatic brightness is off, blue light is off. I have toggled screen mode from adaptive display to basic.
Can't figure out what's up. Anyone have any ideas?
Anyone experiencing the same thing?
TIA!

Mine does the same thing,if you change the time in your settings it reverts it's weird
Did you upgrade and transfer settings from a phone that had night mode enabled?
What do you mean upgrade and transfer?

i had the same issue but it seems to have been cause by restoring my settings along with my apps from another phone through googles cloud backup. i reset the device and unchecked restore settings to resolve the issue.
