Help! Screen Rotation isnt working on ANY ROM - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Well. The title is self-explanatory. I was on MIJJz Goodness ROM & flashed the Wicked Sensationz ROM through the recovery w/ MIJJZ ROM & after flashing the ROM i realized that auto-rotation was acting funny. Then it all of a sudden just stopped working all together. I tried flashing back Mijjz Rom & had the same issue.
Has anyone experienced this? I really hope its not a hardware issue. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

i've only experienced this in cm roms... and maybe aokp i dont remember but the problem was in advanced settings in sensors tab. DONT check use calibration data..... as long as thats unchecked and you have auto rotate on in settings it should work fine

[Q] Auto-rotate not working on apps

what's up guys so i recently rooted my phone and flashed the latest cm7 (7.0.2). i couldn't help but to notice that my auto-rotate does not work on apps. i.e. web browser, txting, etc. It DOES rotate when i slide the keyboard out, but it's stuck on portrait if i don't have the keyboard out. I've tried ticking an unticking various things such as auto-rotate, being able to rotate an additional 180 degrees..nothing seems to make it work. does anyone have a clue of what's wrong?? (f.y.i, i've tried reflashing the rom couple of times and also flashing cm nightly, wiping the cache, wiping data/reset, but still no progress). if anyone has encountered this problem, or might have a solution, that would be great ! it's starting to irritate me..so any help would be much appreciated. thanks for stopping by.

so i tried flashing a different rom (gingervillain 1.5) like you said..and it's still not working.....any other suggestions? should i unroot and root my phone again? would that cause any harm?
This has been happening occasionally on my G2 while running the stock deodexed ROM, and the only way I've known to fix it is to run "fix permissions" in CWM. I've also deleted the cache and dalvik cache as well, just to be safe, and these have fixed the problem for me. I'm not sure if it's related to the ROM or any of the apps I have installed, but I'm getting more & more concerned that it could be that my accelerometer slowly dying. Not sure.
I really hope that helps fix your problem.

ok so i tried to do your method, and it still doesnt work... i'm kind of bummed because i barely got a replacement on this phone..and its hard to believe that the accelerometer would be dying on mine because i just got it replaced like few weeks ago..i really don't know what the problem is

MIUI problem

I have a problem with MIUI rom. Some days ago, my phone suddenly had FC, now, my phone run really slow and laggy... If I turn off the screen, my phone won't wake up, only four button in the bottom light up.
I wiped everything in CMW (system,data, and cache, also sd-card) but it doesn't work.
The fresh install had the same issues
I have this problem only with MIUI rom
any help
You probably need to provide more info on the issue. What version of MIUI are you running? Have you tried a fresh download of the ROM?

Hey guys, I flashed 1.819 yesterday and everything was going great. The ROM ran smoothly and I was having no issues at all. When I woke up the next morning my display would not turn back on. Every time I tried to turn on the display the soft lights would light up but the display remained unresponsive. The phone still seemed functional as I could hear e-mail and sms notifications coming through.
When I rebooted my phone it was abnormally slow.. mounting the sd card and syncing seemed like it was taking forever and the launcher was very jittery.. if I let my display time out it would not come back on and I'd be forced to pull the battery and try again.
I performed a full wipe through clockwork recovery (everything, including wiping system,data, and cache in 'mounts and usb') and reinstalled 1.819. The fresh install had the same issues.. if I let my display time out I wouldn't be able to turn it back on. I thought I was having some wonky hardware issue but after flashing my previous sense rom and everything is working perfectly.. so I'm pretty much scratching my head here. My phone was kickass for one day and became allergic to MIUI overnight!

Have you tried using a different kernal such as Tiamat or JD's Kernal?
May want to try that. I had good luck with Miui and Tiamat (ran it for a week)

Does this happen immediately after you flash? Or are you installing applications to get back to your preferred setup and then seeing the performance problems?
If it's the latter, I'd run the rom alone and see if it runs normally. Then install your applications individually until you encounter issues.

immediately after the flash. I don't install any other apps
since we are talking about MIUI issues. I am running the latest version of MIUI with the JDKernal.
The camera has color distortion lines when I take a picture. The picture comes out fine but when taking it the image shows the distortion. It did not do that before so I can only assume its something with the camera in the ROM.
Anyone else see this?

tenchu, your signature says you are not English or American. Are you running the MIUI.us ROM on your incredible 2 in English - and not another language?
.....just a thought.

[Q] Camera not working

Phone is rooted.
Everything was working fine until I updated with a GB custom rom.
Then my camera would work intermittently. Work for a bit.. then had to reboot to get it working again.
Now with the newest GB roms my camera isn't working at all. It goes to gray screen and I have to hit the home button to get out.
I have tried numerous different rom and there is no difference. I have went from Camera version 2.XXXX to Camera version 3.XXX in the roms.
I have cleared the cache, etc etc.
Nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?

Fresh 4.3.1 and 4.3.2
Swag "No Swag"

I have Cynogen's newest but haven't tried it yet.
I was running Fresh 3.xxx with no problem. 4.3.1 started the problem .. 4.3.2 completely made it dysfunctional.
hmmm, have you tried flashing a stock rom? Perhaps your camera hardware just died, and it happened exactly when you flashed a new rom.

That's entirely possible.
However, my UPDATE PRL and UPDATE PRI is doing the same thing.
BTW: Swag (no swag) is pretty close to a stock rom.

Does anyone have this problem?

OK, so I have AOKP nightly build (Aug, 13th version) and whenever I use toggles to turn on camera flash while on lockscreen and try to turn it off again, it doesn't turn off and doesn't let me connect to the camera... I used Trinity kernel if that'll help, but no luck. Does anyone have this issue? If so, found any solutions?
I tried to fix permission, reflash ROM and wipe the data and do a clean install.. I don't wanna use other ROMs since I am loving this ROM... Got any ideas?
love the Rom, use it with what it comes with.
Don't change kernels on demo rom's

Yup, went back to original kernel that comes with AOKP. But the problem persists. I think it's just a bug... So I have flash off the toggles.. I have widget for it anyways

[Q] d2tmo 4.4.2 Accelerometer Issue

Ok so ever since I updated to any of the 4.4.2 rom (i.e. Cm11, Cyanfox, SlimKat and Carbon Rom) my accelerometer won't work correctly.
At first I thought it was a GPS issue but after looking into it more the GPS locks fine. It's only the direct in google maps or any other GPS like app that is messed up. For instance, when I'm using google maps and I'm facing north it will show me facing east, then when I change directions it can't figure out which direction I'm facing and spins around in circles and maps will crash. Same thing happens when I use GPS Status, the app will say I'm facing the wrong direction and when I move direction it starts to spin out of control.
I defiantly don't think its a hardware issue since everything was working fine with the touchwiz rom and 4.3 roms. If anyone has any clue on how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it. This is pretty much the only thing that is wrong for me with any kitkat roms.
I have a tmobile galaxy s3 and current running SlimKat build 3. :crying:
Try FasterFix app

I gave it a shot but no luck. I have also used GPS status and FasterGPS but like I said before I don't think its a GPS issue because it does lock on to my location fine. It's just my compass doesn't work correctly.
I believe CM has a Advanced Option to Re-Calibrate Accelarometer. Settings > Advanced is where the option is I think. I use Slim Bean so I don't have CM details.
Oh yeah I forgot about that but it still didn't work. I appreciate all the ideas though.
You may want to go back to Stock and then try. Just to rule out any hardware issues. It will also wipe any corrupt firmware.

Do you mean odin to stock or just flash a stock rom? If it's odin I'll definitely try it when I get home. The thing I find weird is that when I flashed the S3Rx rom, everything was working fine.
I'd do Odin before trying anything else.
So I odin back to stock and like before everything was working properly. Then when I flashed back to carbon rom, is back to pointing in the wrong direction and spinning out of control.
I'm surprised that I'm one of the only if not the only one with this problem. Is there an app that I can manually calibrate which direction I'm pointing?
I'm out of ideas...
Can you flash a different kernel on top of Carbon ?

I flashed KT kernel, BMS, Harkness and DKP. For a little while it seemed like BMS had fixed it but then went back to the same ol' sad story. :crying:
Try Another Rom please. Not just Carbon. This time try a 4.3 rather than Kitkat.
I have tried other roms and I stated that this didn't happen till I started using Kitkat roms. When I was on carbon 4.3.1 there weren't any problems as well as on S3Rx 4.3 rom. Not sure why this only happens on Kitkat roms and what seems like only to me. I'll continue to look for solutions cause I really like the look and feel of Kitkat.
So after searching and searching I finally found a fix! I was about to give up hope but decided to try one last kernel, Quantum kernel. At first it seemed like it wasn't working but I had to calibrate my accelerometer with GPS Status. After that everything was gravy! I hope this helps others that have the same problem I did!
