Excessive screen rotation?

I've noticed that with 2.2 my screen has been rotating excessively (extremely sensitive, find it at either 180 or 90 most of the time). Running stock rooted 2.2 w/ netarchy's latest kernel.
Tried wiping rotate settings to no avail.
Has anyone else experienced this before?
//edit: FIXED
Wiped rotate settings, then calibrated the G-sensor a few times. Seems to have fixed it.

I find it very irritating.

Some ROMs (CM6) have an option in their Power Control widget to lock the screen orientation, and even have the options in the system settings to control what angles the screen will rotate to. To be honest, 180 degrees and 90 degrees is kinda pointless when the kickstand props it up to 270.

Yes sometimes I'll finish talking on my phone and then look at it and its in landscape.

Get an application called AutoRotate OnOff from the market.
Its a widget that lets you control the rotate feature with one tap.

It would be nice not to have to use this though.
There should be advanced settings to configure the degree of rotation needed to change the orientation. That way i could set it the exact way that suits me the best..... if only everyone were smart enough not to mess it up and call sprint support, more power would be provided to everyone lol.

Switchpro has the same thing

I think I spoke too soon. A few hours after my "fix" it started to act up again. Now it's even more prevalent than before! Getting very annoying.

Premium navigation refuses to go landscape

i have problem that the premium navigation in car panel wont go landscape, the auto-rotate option is already enabled and everything will go landscape as i rotate the phone EXCEPT Premium Navigation

Not everything will go landscape (or portray). Most games actually stay landscape. An app can choose whether it listens to the user setting or enforces a certain orientation. This obviously because some apps are not suitable to run in some orientation. The only thing you can do it notify the developer of that you like to have this app or certain parts to be able to be in landscape mode.

Unfortunately premium navigation doesn't go landscape. Bit of an oversight if you ask me. Every other navigation app seems to.

Landscape orientation

Hi all, I have a newbie question about the default landscape orientation. Can it be set to 90 instead of 270 degrees so the buttons are on the left side when in landscape applications?

Not sure how you could set this with HTC Sense.
This is an option you can select on Cyanogen Mod though.

Just to make clear - I don't want landscape in Sense. I'm asking about landscape orientation in other applications e.g. the default video player or some games that are landscape by default.

from a sense rom prospective i dont think its possible.
however there might be an app in the market .

Landscape Rotation Lock Not Working?

Hey, I wanted to check if anyone else had luck locking rotation in landscape? Seems I cannot do it. Every time I do disable rotation it changes to portrait and sticks with that - any ideas?

Yes, same here. I just used the widget, rotation lock from google play and it works. Don't use the LG one. Just put the widget on your homescreen and you can lock the rotation in portrait or landscape.

What specific widget do you use? None of the ones I've tried works, they just return it to portrait mode and lock it in that orientation.

You can enable rotation in the lock screen by going to settings -> Display -> Rotation -> And checking enable auto-rotation and rotate the lock screen.

Rotation Locker by Madmack on Google Play. Works great.

This only locks it in portrait mode for whatever reason, even if you hit the toggle while in landscape, it will just return to portrait and then lock.

Thanks, this works, although not flawlessly as it kinda freaks out and switches back and forth between the orientations before locking.

When disabled it will lock it into portrait because that is the default orientation of the tablet. That is a feature that is to be expected. But when enabled you can freely rotate the lock screen any way that you have the main screen set to be able to rotate to.

I understand that, but this leads to a problem when I am laying on my side in bed and watching something in landscape, mainly with the YouTube app, as it thinks I'm using the tablet in portrait mode.

To be honest I have just bought my G Pad so it s not on it yet.
But I have used the same program on phones and tablets before without problems.
It locked my homescreen in portrait whenever i wanted it too.

Rotate homescreen isn't supported anymore?

Hi all,
Normally I never use my tablet in landscape mode (seeing how websites mostly are longer than they are wide) but recently I bought a bluetooth keyboard (if anyone is wondering a logitech k810, which is amazing).
One thing which I can't seem to figure out is the use of the landscape mode at the homescreen and app drawer (all other applications don't make a problem out of it).
The what's what:
- Nexus 7, 2013 edition
- stock, rooted
- Nova launcher prime
Anyone an idea whether this is just not possible or whether I am forgetting a check box somewhere?
Thanks!

seems your nova settings. Try to go into nova settings, then look and feel, and then set screen orientation to auto.

Has to be Nova. My stock 4.4 rotate works fine like always.
