Auto rotation bug

Hi guys
Im very happy so far with the Note2 I think when you get used to the size is the best android phone (not for long I know )
However I can't strees how annoyed I am with the Autorotate BUG
every other day i need to restart the phone because it would not rotate.
does any one know a way to fix , or have a better solution than restart the phone?
Many thanks to all who read this

Um..disable Smart Rotation in Display Settings, and Uncheck and Recheck Auto-rotate Screen, Make sure Auto-rotate is enabled in your Notifications Area. I had this bug in very Galaxy S phone so far, guess its Android's way of saying Root! :laugh:

How does rooting solve this issue?
I have a similar issue but it rotates when I place the phone down to a flat desk or surface.

i'm on Monxdified rom previously & rooted ..
the issue still persists ... so root wont solve the issue

That confirms it is indeed, an Android bug, nothing you can do about it unless you e-mail Samsung and Google.

What bug is this? I haven't had it, or haven't noticed it yet. I use smart stay, but not smart rotation. How can I reproduce this bug?

My GT - N7105 (i like to add the preceding GT thinghy lol)
I don't think is a Android problem of all my different android devices this is the one giving me trouble
is nothing to do with root, my phone is rooted and im using this [GT-N7105]N7105XXDLL4 deodexed Rom V1.1 [4.1.2]
I was not sure if is a problem of the ROM itself or in general that way i put in there.. is anyone having that trouble?
thanks

Hey guys!
I have exactly the same problem with my N7100 running the N7100XXDMC3. The issue came up the day after I bought my phone. I've rooted it, flashed the last firmware and did a format system and wipe cache, data foactory and dalvik cache. The bug still persists.
I've written an email to Samsung they told me to do the update and wipe the datas (What I've already done). They told me if the bug is still present to bring the phone back.
Have you resolved the bug ? Please help me because it's very annoying :/

Mine does the same and I have exhanged one unit because of it and still happens its weird wished samsung would fix it. Only seems to happen when I watch a video for long period of times. Dont have smart rotation enabled either

I've got the solution ! Well it's not the solution but a solution. Download the app rotation lock adaptive. It fixes the bug and even allows to get a total rotation. I bought the app to thank the developer but a free version also exists.

Reset the phone always works...and so does reboot the phone...the bug returns in a few days. am on the most recent ME1 update for the N7100 but the issue persists...its not an issue with the launcher, root orkernel related...I tried all the combinations ...

I noticed this after updating to 4.1.2.
Looking around the web this update seems to be the culprit. Mine gets stuck in landscape mode every two days or so, however launching the stock dialer fix the issue.

My fix to the problem

I have had the same problem on my N7105 since the 4.1.2 android update.
I realised that the bug occurs only when brightness is set to manual.
I did the following to fix it:
1. I installed Velis Auto Brightness app
2. I run the app setup wizard with default options
3. I set the note 2 brightness to auto (this has no effect anyway because Velis override it)
4. I restarted the phone
5. I selected my preferred auto brightness profile through Velis
My phone's auto rotate now works perfectly!
I hope this works for you as well!

G sensor not working

Please help...g sensor on my One X is not working....
I have tried calibrating G sensor in safe mode, rebooting, factory reset, reverting back to stock but nothing seems to be working.

You seem to have one of the HOXs with the Invensense sensors inside, controlled by a Invensense MPU 3050 chip. Newer HOXs use Panasonic sensors if I'm not mistaken.
You won't like this, but there's really nothing you can do. It's not exactly a hardware defect, it's caused by a race condition. Apparently the MPU 3050 has this funny little quirk where it keeps some electronic charge even when the device is powered off, and when it powers back on too quickly the chip doesn't properly initialize, causing the sensors to be present for the system (you can check this with Elixir, it's free on the market, it will show all your sensors) but non functioning.
The only "solution" I found to this was in a forum for Acer A500 owners (same MPU in those things). Switch off all orientation control and whatnot, like auto-rotate etc, then turn your phone off entirely and let it sit for at least 5 minutes, maybe 10 just to make sure. This is more of a hit and miss approach, but definitely worth a shot.

I have the same problem. Tried flashing diffrent kernels and roms, reverted to stock with nandroid backup and with ruu files. Rebooting in safe mode, calibrating. Nothing helps. It seems the only solution is like AcoQ said, turn off hox and turn it on after few minutes. I do not have warranty any more so no replacement from HTC... It happend to me yesterday after flashing new rom and kernel. Now after restart sonsors are dead, another restart and all of them work, restart - dead, restart - work and so on

Don't use any power saving app. Even the power save mode in stock rom. Delete all the power saving apps and cache files from app settings. and restart. Hope start works!

I also had problems with g sensor. Nothing seemed to work. Reverted to stock. Then tried this solution I found.
Reboot the phone with power + volume up. Hold them.
Let it reboot three times (the solution showed one time, but it only worked for me after a couple).
Now release the power button and hold the volume up during the whole boot sequence.
I don't know what the exact physics is behind it, but it should reset some things. This was the only solution which helped, and actually worked for me after trying all the other things
Good luck

even m suffering from same prob
my auto rotate stops working all of a sudden
i was on arhd 21
please help tried reflashing RUU but no help

Now with Sense 5 ROMs,Camera force closes for devices which are having this sensor issue. Seems camera drivers needs gyroscope to work properly.
Will roll back to CM10.2 nightlies. Atleast the problem isn't noticeble in AOSP ROMs.

I have the same problem and I am using ARHD 32.2 please help!! :crying:

It worked for my HTC One X in a moment,and it works perfectly even after you powerdown device
Solution is the best i found in this 5 days of horror with my HTC One X camera and sensors not working!
Now it works all perfect!!

I had the same problem while running viperX 4.0.6 and tried all the various hit and miss techniques and they would restore the sensors and camera for at best a week. Tried flashing different roms too. Then I decided to try a KitKat rom and went with AOSB Project http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678836 and I have not had a single fault since.
I'm not sure if it had something to do with the KK recovery, ROM, combination of both or jst coincidence?

Dear Friend,
Don't try flashing or Installing ROMs. Its an unknown error. You can have the solution I mentioned below. Try this friend.
Its an unknown error of HTC one X. I also discovered it. When it was ICS 4.0.3 it was very good. After updating to 4.2.2 Jelly Bean the problem happened. Please follow my instruction that may help you. When you will find your G sensor calibration stopped.
1. Just Disable Auto rotation from Setting--> Display Gestures & Buttons. Or you can disable your Auto Rotation from anywhere you can find in your device setting. Just Uncheck the Auto Rotation.
2. Power Off your HTC one X. Remember No Restart. Just Power Off.
3. Leave it for 10 minutes or 20 Minutes.
4. Now restart and see what is happening. Your G sensor is working or not. You may go to Camera you will find it is Auto rotating. Leave your Auto rotation Setting. Just open the Camera and see Auto rotation is working or not.
5. If it is OK now you can check Auto rotation if you want to open browser in Landscape Mode.
6. If you failed or you have the same problem you just Go to the Power and Uncheck Fast boot and again follow from number 1.
I am confident because that really worked for me. I don't know it will work for you or not. I already told you this is such an unknown Error. May be a conflicting issue with HTC one X tegra Hardware to the JB 4.2.2 Android.
Thank you.

Dear Friend,
Don't be upset. Just understand. It's the fault of HTC itself that they did not care about this.
If you failed then just do it again and again. It is like if your problem is solved you can test it again. That means if your G sensor is back you can restart your phone and you will see your G sensor is gone again. It is like restart... G sensor is OK now .. again restart G sensor is gone...!!! again restart it will come back or may not come back. Again you need to restart. That's it. Restart your phone holding the power button down.. no release button..wait for the HTC logo screen. you should restart like this. Not restart from the HTC screen touch. Just hold down the power button and wait for the HTC Logo screen. The restart interval should be 10 to 20 min. Just do it. I am confirm your G sensor will be OK. Believe me.

Dear Friend,
No reboot!!!!!! Just power Off your phone for 10 to 20 min. No reboot!!!
Please try it several times if your G sensor is not fixed. At first I tried it for several times when I did not get my G sensor OK. Oh. I have a mistake. You need to power off the phone. Not restart. Oh dear I am sorry. You need to power off your phone for 10 to 20 min. Wait for 10 to 20 min and then Power on your phone. You will see your G sensor is working now. The previous post I just want to make you sure that If your G sensor is OK and if you again restart your phone you will see your G sensor is Gone again. So you need to Power Off your phone again for 10 to 20 min. No Restart. Just power Off. It was a great mistake to my previous post and so I am really sorry. It will be Power OFF your phone for 10 to 20 min. Then power ON your phone. If you not Get back your G sensor OK then you need power off your phone again for 10 to 20 min. You will get back your G sensor I am confident. Because My HTC one X also doing this ****. My G sensor is OK now. If I restart my phone for any reason My G sensor gets stop totally and receive no Calibration. It says calibration Stopped. So I just do power Off my phone for 10 to 20 min and then I switch ON my phone. The I see that My G sensor is OK. Even my calibration also works. If after switching ON my phone if I get that My G sensor is not OK then I just power off my Phone for another 10 to 20 min and then I Power on my Phone and I find that My G sensor is OK. It really happens. And I found many posts about this and even I flashed my Phone and nothing made my G sensor OK. Its the unknown software fault that HTC did not solve it for HTC one X. They will not do I think. Even you will not be updated above to 4.2.2. Again I am telling you just switch OFF your phone for 10 to 20 Min. Then switch ON your phone. If you not get G sensor Back then again switch OFF your phone for another 10 to 20 min. You will definitely get back your G sensor. Again if you restart your phone for any reason you may find that your G sensor is gone again. So again you need to switch OFF your phone for 10 -20 min and switch ON your phone. If you not get again do it. You will get back your G sensor. But Actually how many times you need to do it also unknown. If I find My G sensor is not OK after 20 min stopped I just do it again. Maximum second time it solved my G sensor. It may take longer. I sometimes have my problem solved in a single try or second time. It may take longer for you or you may have this solved with a single try.

I would like to share my experience about the problem with the sensors of the HTC One X.
I use HTC One X International version

I tried all the methods that I could find on the web.
1. I tried to change any ROMs based on Sense 4, Sense 5, Cyanogenmod and any kernels for them. It did not help. The sensors are still not recognized.
2. I tried to discharge the battery completely and it did not help. The sensors are still not recognized.
3. I tried to change all firmwares on 401 base (3.14.401.31, 3.18.401.1, 3.20.401.1, 4.18.401.2, 4.18.401.3, 4.18.401.4) and it did not help. The sensors are still not recognized.
4. I tried to install RUU_Endeavor_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Ra dio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed and it did not help. The sensors are still not recognized.
5. I tried to restart in safe mode after disabling fastboot from power settings and recalibration G-Sensor. Then rebooted in normal mode and recalibrated again and it did not help. The sensors are still not recognized.
6. I tried a factory reset and it did not help. The sensors are still not recognized.
7. I tried to kill all apps in task manager and it did not help. The sensors are still not recognized.
8. I tried to power off after disabling fastboot and orientation from power settings. Interval waited 10-20 minutes and it did not help. The sensors are still not recognized.
9. Try using FLAC formats as they are huge in size and it did not help. The sensors are still not recognized.
10. The only way that I can come back to life sensors is to use the program from Google Play - Stability Test. Run of classic and wait until the temperature rises to 44-45 degrees Celsius. Then immediately reboot phone and sensors are activated (by this method have a 95% success rate), but after restart or turn off the phone after disabling fastboot the sensors are still not recognized. The most interesting thing is that after this procedure if you do not reboot or shut down the phone all sensors work properly.
If someone has tried something different and has helped him to return sensors to life even after restart can share.
This is for now. If you learn some more valuable information will be shared here and wherever raise the issue of this problem.
I hope to come away with making a decision that will help us all to deal with this problem.
Greetings to all.

The 10 is the only method that works now for me.
Before, the trick of power off and power on had worked but does not work anymore.
Is annoying, you know that if you restart the phone you run out sensors...

[Q] HTC one V g-sensor not working

All of the sudden my screen wouldn't auto rotate in both apps and normal interface, i haven't downloaded any app recently so i don't think it is caused by an app.
Things i've done to try and fix it: - turn auto-rotate off\on in quicksettings notification bar, did the same in screen settings and again in accessibility
- calibrated g-sensor, which doesn't give any errors
- rebooted phone after calibration or auto-rotate setting change(multiple times)
- downloaded phone tester app and it can't find the g-sensor
I'm on the last update of Suprimou rom with titanium kiss kernel and have been on this rom for a few months now.
Any suggestions?

Here's a link with problems and a few suggestions..
Hope ur g sensor starts working and this s*** doesn't happen with me and other HOV users..

Thanks, im trying some methods out now, really want it to work again because i don't think htc would like it if i'd send a phone in with unlocked bootloader and this kind of problem.
Update, It's working again! not sure how long it will work.
I rebooted several times while holding down volume up button, then turn it off and let it sit for 10 min.
Now it's working

happened same thing to me so returned to the stock then it was fine now again I'am rooted

[Q] auto rotation

Good day all,
I have a problem with my nexus 7 (2013)'s auto rotation .It suddenly stopped for no reason. is there a solution for this problem and if I put a custom Rom does it fix this thing??
Please Help
Thanks

Settings / accessibility /auto rotate screen is it checked?

Does it happen everywhere, even in apps? I would check the settings first and maybe try a cold-boot and then a reset on the device.

it does not work even in the games. it doesn't rotate unless an app designed for vertical or horizontal .
I did I factory reset and it didn't work. If you have something tell me what to do please.
Thank you

I had this problem as well a few days ago. What I did (which seemed to fix it) was I went in recovery and wiped my dalvic cache. 3 days since and only time will tell if this is a permanent solution.:fingers-crossed:

Yesterday I had also a rotation problem:
When I set autorotation to "off“, it always went to landscape mode, regardless in which position it was atm. It was absolutely not possible to lock the screen rotation in portrait mode.
After a reboot all was back to normal - strange though!

mine just got the same problem since yesterday! really need help

My rotation isn't working nor is the gyroscope. Started on stock UN rooted , then I rooted it and flashed kangabean and now the latest official CM build and it isn't working on any of those either. I'm thinking mine is hardware and not software related
Sent from my Nexus 7

We'll turns out that my other nexus 7 tab that I got for my mother is having the same issues with the accelerometer and gyroscope like I am. So I am going to be taking both back to bestbuy and either exchanging them or returning them.

[Q] Auto rotate does not work.

Hi Guys,
So I got my M9 yesterday and its awesome. The ony problem is that it does not auto rotate.
I have turned auto rotate on and off, no diffrence.
I have done the G-sensor calibration tool in display settings. The top bar does not move (Guess thats the problem one).
I have loaded the phone up in safe mode and done the G-sensor thing. Still not working.
The only time the screen rotates is when a app forces it to rotate. like in a game, camera app, and youtube.
I only noticed this late last night.
I have yet to do a factory reset as I am at work. Once home I will give it a try.
Any one got any ideas?

Sense never rotated whilst sober..

So I have done a factory reset. No change.
Got it at 3 (UK), they said I can do a swap.
Hopefully 2nd device will will rotate...

Not fully true, i think Sense 3.5 had it, but they removed it again after.
Could be 4.5 too, tho i'm not 100% sure, but i remember back with the Sensation that eventually a new Sense came that allowed rotation of Sense itself.

You're talking about Manila yeah? it was modded i.e. not that much sober..

I've got exactly the same issue on a UK SIM-free model. The Motion Launch gestures don't work either.
Did you get the issue sorted?

I got it swapped for a new device which works.
From what I understand the sensor was just broke. Don't know how though. It didn't seem like it was a software problem but more a hardware issue.
3 did the exchange after they had a little play with it. Was a quick swap.

That's good mate, I'm glad Three sorted it out for you.
Hope Amazon can help me out!

What a shame, sham
I have the same problem only I bought a privacy screen from Otterbox. I really dont want to swap for the Auto Rotate and G Sensor problem only to purchase another screen (Which I applied flawlessly). I have the Verizon HTC M9 Brand out of the box I had these issues. Its annoying when playing a game or trying to take a picture for it not to auto adjust the orientation. I've done the factory restore as the HTC rep suggested after I told him this happened out of the box I really feel like these support people don't listen to what the users are saying. Now I'm supposed to go back to my Verizon carrier and swap phones to setup again for the 3rd time... ridiculous!
Sidenote: this phone gets way too hot and the picture quality/stabilization is worse than the M8

htc one m9
I got the same thing my auto rotate work then stop working have re set my phone 3 time and it happening but my bf got same phone but he his don't

This may sound funny..I had the same issue with my new M9. Had it for about 3 weeks then the problem occured. I tried these steps to no avail:
1. Restart
2. remove installed apps
3. Calibrate
4. Calibrate on Safe mode
5. Reset phone to Factory
I was about to call HTC until I saw another dude posted an unusual solution.. I didn't pay attention to him because it was silly but it did fix mine.
During calibration, I noticed that the top sensor is not moving, only the one at the bottom.. WHat I did, While on the calibration page, I dropped my phone about 6 inches to the carpet..did it twice until you see the top sensor also move.Then do the calibration..I have a dot view case so I would prefer u to drop the corner with a protective case on it...
If you have warranty and you have timne, then call warranty support...
Cheers..
