[Q] Better responsiveness to orientation change? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Auto rotate problem

I have a problem with auto rotation. Somewhere between rooting (S off, eng S-off and super CID) and installing a CyanogenMod 6.1.3 I got a problem with a rotation on my DHD. If i enable auto rotate my phone goes in landscape in every single app (Messages, camera, menu...) and it's not coming back to portrait when I rotate the phone. If I disable it everything is in portrait even camera and gallery.
I have installed a sensor test 1.0 by Qualigon and I can see that in Orientation sensor, when I rotate the phone, only X is changing, Y=0 and Z=0 all the time.
I have tried calibration and nothing happened. It's the same.
Help please
Having the same problem.
Try clearing caches and fixing permissions in Clockwork recovery.
Worked for me...
I didn't see any followup on this reply. I am having what seems to be a similar problem with the auto rotation. When I start an application it will correctly present either in portrait or landscape.
When I start the application in portrait and then switch the phone to landscape, the screen's rotation will correctly switch to landscape - but switching it back to portrait will not change the screen's rotation.
When I start the application in landscape it will remain in landscape regardless of the phone's orientation. The only way to get to portrait is to close the application, and then restart the application when the phone is in portrait mode.
I installed an application to test the sensor. When holding the phone in portrait vertically, the values I am getting are: ~230, ~0, ~1. When holding in landscape vertically, the values I am getting are: ~120, ~33, ~33.
The wrong rotation behavior happens in all applications. I switched two ROMs already (Cognition 1.5.2 and MIUI) and nothing changed. I am pretty sure the problem is SW related because as I wrote the initial presentation is correct (meaning the initial orientation that I will get when starting an application is always correct).
I would appreciate help.
similar prob FK!!!!!
Same problem but all my sensors show pass via *#0*# sensor checks. Tried nordic i9505 I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar 4.4.2, then SIngapore I9505XXUFNBE_I9505OLBFNB3_I9505XXUFNBE_HOME.tar 4.4.2 all the fken same problem. Screen rotation all fine when I flash firmware, root, then flash CWM touch - everything good. Screen rotate works until the first reboot after all of this which might even be a day or 2 later. As soon as reboot phone, screen rotation dies and it is a huge pain in the arse. Sensors continue to say pass via *#0*#. Every few days i have to re-flash firmware, re-root, then re-CWM touch, no need to factory reset just those 3 steps. Has anyone got any solutions for this yet??

[Q] Normal orientation times

I have noticed that when I turn the phone sideways it switches to landscape mode almost instantly. However, when I turn it back to portrait mode it takes at least 5-7 seconds to switch to portrait mode. I have calibrated all of the sensors in the settings. Is this normal?
What ROM\kernel are you on? What launcher?
I'm stock and its just as fast for me both ways. Only like a second sideways and vertical.
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
I am on midnite 2.1 and I have tried it with launcher pro and ADW EX.
I think it might be app-dependent. I, too, have noticed a lag when changing from landscape back to portrait, but when I tried it just now with gmail, it was near-instant. I'm currently using StarBurst 1.5.

Auto Rotation annoying.

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.

[Q] Disable screen rotation for Alarm pop-up in lockscreen

When in the lockscreen, only portrait mode is available whether screen rotation is enabled or not. However, when the alarm goes off, the pop up rotates depending on the orientation if screen rotation is enabled. If you;re half asleep and pick up the phone at an akward angle, the screen rotates just as you tap on the screen. Half the time, it's no problem. The other half, though, I end up tapping dismiss instead of snooze. Is there a way of locking the pop up at a fixed orientation (landscape or portrait, doesn't really matter) without having to disable screen rotation?

Camera orientation

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.
