Hi,
I have noticed that sometimes the auto screen rotation doesn't work anymore. I have tried to disable and enable again the screen rotation icon but it doesnt help. The only way to restore the screen rotation is to reboot my Note2.
It happens every time after having used a few days my device.
Any idea what could be the reason for this bug?
I am using a stock Rom with root.
Smart rotation is off.

I have just noticed that enabling and disabling the Smart rotation ( in settings-display) restores the auto screen rotation.

You can try and recalibrate gyroscope in settings-motion-advance settings-gyroscope calibration.

So the smart rotation trick stopped working for you?

Yes and every trick stopped working.
I have installed the app "Ultimate Rotation control" . With this app, I can force applications to rotate but it doesn't
work when the rotation is set to "auto" ( of course until I reboot)

Bummer! I have the same bug but it is the only bug so I'm not going to complain too much!

I think but I am not sure that the bug appeared after I have flashed a Perseus Kernel (I see that you have also
a Perseus kernel)
Maybey i found the problem
I maybey found the problem for the screen rotation glich!
I've done my reboots and taking the battery out etc...but after a while the problem kept returning!
Now....i've been wondering around on some forums and i found and read that they have the same issues after the 4.1.2 update!
So.....i tried all the apps on my phone.....exept one!...YOUTUBE!
I have uninstalled youtube and also turned it OFF in the aplication manager!
rebooted my phone!...and gues what?.....my note 2 is running like sunshine and no screen rotation problems! (knock on wood)
Sometimes when you put like a..news app on...some news apps also use Youtube for a movie to show you whats happening wright?
So if you didnt used youtube but did lool at your news app..youtube gets activated without you knowing it!
And then...also yhe screen rotation glitch returned!
Since i put toutube off.....problem GONNE!
But then again.im not a specialist!...im using:
baseband: N7100XXDLK7
Version 4,1,2
Kernel: 3.0.31-679347
I have a unbranded phone!
But ive read on forums that this is a problem for ALL THE NOTE 2's after the update!
Greets and help yourselff

Tick auto display brightness and it will rotate!
I too got the same problem some times back. And along with that the network was also not getting detected. Some of my friend told that the network IS is gone. But I went to the service station and the software up gradation makes it alright.

Did we ever figure out a real fix for this? Was the true cause of the problem ever even isolated? I am aware of the "auto brightness trick", but have also heard about fumbling around with the multi window feature or opening the dialer to "unlock" it.

There's this strange problem my phone has where the flashlight is turned on whenever i hit the power button to turn off my screen It has been working fine on android revolution rom for the past 3 months then this problem started occurring just this morning. Going to the official htc flashlight app to adjust the brightness works but it cannot turn off the flashlight unless i initiate a shutdown. anyone has any idea how i can solve this problem ? is this a hardware or software issue ?

If it worked before you tried a new ROM it's bound to be s/w. Is Tasker baked in to the ROM or did you install it? Some third party app is triggering Flashlight to launch when you press the power button. You might want to check the dev who built the ROM's thread or ping him or her.
In aokp there's a turn flash light on by hitting power option in the settings have a look at your roms settings.

this rom isn't exactly new its a 3 month old build and has nv given me any sort of problems before till this strange problem started occurring. Is there any way to disable the flashlight for good so it doesn't keep turning on and draining my battery ?

If it were me, I'd want to figure the problem out as what's causing it may not be limited to Flashlight (EG: other things are being turned off or on and you just don't know it). I you want to disable it, go in to Apps>All>flashlight and clear data, force stop, and then hit disable.
Do you have EQS? If so, try to turn flashlight on then off again from the EQS tab itself.

Try freezing the flashlight app

its software related.
i m using viper rom and it has the option to trigger flashlight when power button is pressed (while screen off) . ive enabled it. so yea, you can disable it as well.
so check that.
Well if you're on viper it's an option for flashlight.. You can change in venom tweaks...

Just flashed CM10 Alpha 3 2.6 Kernel version and I have come across the apparently well known auto brightness problem.
Is there a fix for this yet? Is this fault present in the 3.0 kernel version?
Thanks.

Ah that's why it doesn't work. I managed to get the brightness toggle to show an 'A' all the time and assumed that auto brightness was stuck on. I then searched the forum and found threads about this happening with other devices and took it that this was a common problem with CM10.
Thanks for the help.

No problem
Our wonder doesn't support auto brightness that's is why you got stuck on it.
to fix it you need enable the brightness control under/above the toggles and un-tick the auto brightness.
next time remove that option so that you won't get stuck

I had the autobrightness problem too. *somehow* it became activated, and I couldn't find a way to DEactivate it. I tried every single "settings" option I could think of, and nothing worked.
I asked a similar question to you (on this forum) and eventually I got an answer that said if I installed an app that controlled brightness then I could disable auto....it was suggested that I try "widgetsoid" or "battery doctor".....both (as it turns out) do what I wanted.
Why was I so bothered about autobrightness?
With it enabled I couldn't swipe left or right across the top of the screen to manually adjust brightness, with auto disabled I could.....

Sad that our phone doesn't have a light sensor, auto brightness would be so helpful...

Hey there, just want to consult something to you guys. For the past few days I am experiencing a bug in screen rotation. Seems like the phone cannot detect the accelerometer and it doesn't rotate the screen/app accordingly. I also tried Rotation Locker set to auto but it only rotates when I lock/unlock the phone. Apparently the issue can be fixed by restarting the phone but it goes back again. BTW, phone is stock unrooted MB2. I experienced this after MB2. Anyone having the same symptoms?

Disable smart rotation.
Search this forum. I saw this problem long back
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Also started experiencing this rotation bug with DMB2. I thought it was just because I was pushing the system to the edge.
The "smart rotation" comment above does not work. Only a restart does the trick.
This is so annoying. First, the battery issues. Now this?! Come on, Samsung. Don't kill my love for the Note 2 with your stupid updates.
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 its a strange one.
Anyone here experiencing uncalibrated compass or rather if they have installed a compass app and shows different orientation?
Does anyone know how to calibrate well their compass?
Moving the phone in a figure of 8 horizontally doesn't work I've even tried vertically...
I'm using Tiny Compass and I've tried installing it on different android phones and tablets only the grand show a different orientation...
I use always a compass and gps apps due to nature of my work
Thanks in advance..

the thing about caliberation iis just go to settings->motion->senstivity settings->gyroscope caliberation ... then place your phone on a flat surface and tap caliberate....
this may solve ur problem probably..
otherwise just go to dialer and type *#0*# u will see a new window , select sensor from their and see if all of them are working properly...:good:

then there are two options bro... probably there may be some error (lyk some kind f file missing or things lyk dat) if u r on stock rom just take backup of everything and factory reset your phone... sometimes it happens..
still if u r facing same problems i must say contact samsung servICE center to get ur phones motherboard replaced...as it may also be a hardware bug...
ultimately if u r on custom rom.. ask its developer to help u out..
Anyway I will contact Samsung service center.

rotating the phone 3 time on all its axis..(x,y.z), sideways, laying flat, and facing the screen.. something like that...(hoping i explained clearly )
I open my compass app then do the rotations and there i got the correct direction of north.... i havent tried yet if when i restart the fone if still have the correct orientation.

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

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.

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!

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

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.
