I have this issue where every once in a while where my phone get's stuck in landscape mode (which i rarely use). The only way i found to fix it is to turn off the screen and turn it back on, but it will eventually come back. So far i tried gyroscope calibration, cache wipe, and dalvik cache wipe but none were able to get rid of the issue. This is a fairly recent problem. It's been a week or two. any ideas for a permanent fix?
Check the screen rotation toggle on the pull down menu

I have this problem too. I usually have to reboot. I'm on AT&T, no root, Apex Launcher Pro. I downloaded a sensor test app and when the screen is stuck, neither the gyro or accelerometer appear to be functions. Reboot and all is well. Sounds like a software issue maybe?

MY phone has done this twice now. The screen with flip itself and look like I'm looking at the phone in a mirror. The buttons, words, icons are all mirrored but I still have to tap in the normal spot to get them to work.
I have to pull the battery to get it fixed. Anyone else have this happen?

I've had it happen once as well, don't know what caused it.
Some rom devs have identified the issue is with the screen orientation transition effects.

This worked for me. No one has provided any feedback as to whether it working for them or not.

It is the ICS rotation animation causing it. Sometimes you can reproduce it if you lock the screen in landscape mode I believe

I've had this happen to me a couple of times.
I never had to pull the battery to fix it though... All I had to do was turn the phone to a different orientation, and then turn it back.
Whenever I had that issue I just tilted my phone sideways and it fixed it. Did you try putting it in landscape mode after the issue?

I tried everything, it would even rotate mirrored. If it happens again, I'll try stuff

When it happens to mine I just unlock it and turn it to the side then back up, goes back to normal after.
Originally I was only able to get out of it by pulling the battery. If you use a lock pattern it doesn't respond correctly to touch inputs.
I went to take a screen shot of the screen while it was upside down/mirrored, and when it shot it the screen went back to normal. I was able to unlock the phone. Seems like an easy enough workaround till the problem is resolved.
Sometimes when i lock the screen to my phone the screen does not light up, the capacitive keys at the bottom light up but the screen does not. I am rooted on a stable cm10 build and have tried other ROMs also. Could not find anyone else with this issue. Thanks. Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

pretty much SOD > sleep of death. Toggling the power button can fix it. Generally a rough app force closing or bad sleep off settings. o=

Not always I had this issue with mine, and my LCD was fried. But my screen didn't show at all.

Haha! that's what everyone said. Even the Sprint guys who fixed it were shocked..
Mine is not quite like that, my screen still works fine but if I lock my phone repeatedly it will eventually cycle to this odd issue to where they white keys light up but the screen does not. Once the issue tosses then I can hit the lock key again and the screen is fine..

I dont know if anyone is facing the same problem I have now, my n2 screen wont turn off by itself. I have set the timer on 15secs, smart stay disable. It juz wont turn off when idle. And if its fully charged, it will stay up all night as well.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Does it relate to my Omega rom or Redpill kernel?
Thanks
Do you have motion on?
Reboot?

experienced this after upgrading to 4.1.2 weeks ago. backed up everything, complete-wipe then reflashed my rom(always on stock). no more issues. must have been a hiccup.

I had this even when I was on 4.1.1. Thought the upgrade would solve it for me but it didn't. Tough luck. Still searching for 3rd party apps that could give me a permanent solution.

I dun have a fix to this problem but I have a tasker profile that turns the screen off when battery is fully charged. You might want to try that as an interim.
What is your screen time out once mine was changed automatically check that
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
There's a button on the side for that
Just kidding, that's very strange. I noticed if you reboot the phone and don't touch it, when it comes on the screen never turns off either. Doesn't matter if it's plugged in or not.

I had that problem when using smart stay and smart rotation settings turned on in display settings. After I turned them off the screen shut off after 30 seconds as it should every time.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Yes I noticed when 'smart stay' is turned on it causes the screen to stay on all the time. It's not a perfect feature. So I've turned it off
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app
do you have the power option to stay on whilst charging?
It's not smart stay, not the screen rotate with your head thingy nor the developer option that keeps the screen on while the device is being charged. I turned all that off. This is clearly a big that I've had from 4.1.1. Can't get rid of it. Annoyance at its peak.

Are you saying that the screen just won't turn off, or that it turns itself on and then won't turn off?
If it's the first, my guess is an app which prevents the screen from turning off, didn't release its lock after being shut down. This can happen with some games, I've seen it with angry birds and jetpack joyride, titanium backup has done it too. Try to empty ram and kill processes, and/or reboot, though I would guess you might have tried that already.

If doesn't turn on on its own. When the bug kicks in, the screen doesn't go off if it's manually turned on or If a missed call or message is left unattended. Hope you got that. But yes, I can turn off the screen manually but doing that every time is ridiculously annoying. The bad thing is I cannot know if the bug is active or not without actually watching my screen till the timeout. Annoying bug! I've tried various things and I do not know what's causing this. I'm on stock rom, never rooted.

I've been having an issue lately where my phone locks up.Sometimes It will happen after a reboot.. the screen will show half of the lock screen and half of the boot screen (and it will lock up in landscape). Strange thing is, I can here notifications while the screen is frozen.So it seems like it's booting up but the screen is frozen.
The other day I hung up on a call and put the phone in my pocket.. I went to get it and it was locked up with the dialer on the screen in landscape. But the power button and home button was able to make the phone goto sleep and wake up up.
It seems it always locks up in landscape.
This happens with multiple roms so I know it's not a rom issue. I always fully wipe when switching roms also. I've also tried wiping my internal storage and cleaning up my sdcard as well.
The other day I flashed back to stock and it didn't freeze. Although I didn't run it long enough I think.. I'm probably going to try stock again but dam it kills me to run stock lol
Just wondering if anyone had some input on my issue. if any other info will help determine the problem please ask.
Thanks in advance.

I've seen this with another user recently and it might be due to a kernel have you tried flashing a different kernel? And also many new ROMs are including landscape rotation in the lock screen and also an aosp lock screen which is very buggy have you tried disabling lock screen rotation or just disabling the whole system rotation?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the reply.. I've disabled auto rotate for a few days and its been ok.. going to try that for a few more then turn it back I and see.

hmm.. yes I was using asop lock but I could have sworn I've used it with no issues before.. might be just me though as I was flashing so many roms..lol..
Currently I'm using goodness 802 with tw lock,auto rotate disabled and its been fine. I'm going to enable auto rotate and leave tw lock enabled to see if that was it.
Sent from the 3rd Galaxy with Jelly Beans...
I found this out the hard way also: if you use AOSP lock screen you have to make sure all the TW lock screen options are off. If they're not then you get the stuck in landscape issue.

is anybody else having issues w/ auto rotate randomly locking up after doing the MA5 update? sometimes it locks up in portrait mode and sometimes it locks up in landscape mode. and recalibrating the gyroscope, toggling the rotate feature on/off, nor using the smart rotate feature, correct or fix the problem. the only solution i have found at this point has been a reboot of the handset and wait for the next occurrence.
