I just noticed right now that my phone keeps thinking its being held In landscape mode. When I go in youtube app or gallery I cant get my phone to play videos full screen. Im thinking its a problem with the gyroscope. I opened up camera to see wich way it thinks its being held and everything is upside down (I attached screen shot). I'm running jedi x9 and just wiped everything and reflashed jedi rom and problems still there. I did the gyroscope calibration before and after wipe/flash. Nothing seems to be helping. I did edit the etc files in system but only the default gain.conf any idea or help is great. thanks in andvance.

Nevermind fixed itself.. I think.. I ran test using the *#0*# code then turned the phone off and turned back on.. everything seems good so far. If problem comes back will report ASAP.

So I bought a used Gio, everything was fine, until I decodeed it, because it only worked with a Vodafone card and now the camera application won't work. It starts fine, but then it's all black. You can still see the options on the side of the screen and everything. It's like if I would've put my finger in front of the camera. I wen't to a phone service, they sad that it's because of the Cyanogenmod, but then I put back the stock rom, and still, nothing's changed. Please help
i think the problem it is in hardware.

tried full reset?
I have been doing a bit of searching around, haven't seen to run in to much.
But my proximity sensor doesn't work..at all along with auto brightness. All of this worked before and I'm running stock rooted.
I've had the phone for 3 days.
I read some where that it could be Google voice but I uninstalled that and it still doesn't work.
Should I return the phone for another? Or could it just be conflicting applications?

Wondering this myself I'm on the newest build of aokp and it seems like the auto brightness is not working

Try the Sensor List app...
Went to AT&T and they said something about DoA and brought out a new S3 that worked properly. Even let me keep the battery from the messed up S3.
But I tried resetting and restoring the phone, re flashed stock latest AT&T rom and the sensors still didn't work. So I reset the flash counter of 1 from rooting I suppose and had my device replaced.

How do you test it?

might try that on my day off
I'm also wondering if there is an app or some reliable way to test the proximity sensor
Not sure if this has been brought I tried looking a few pages back but didn't see anything. Anyone else having this problem with the screen flickering while its dimming ? I noticed it was doing this even on a stock ROM unrooted. Then I rooted and loaded a custom rom and it still does it. Does anyone else have this issue ?

It dims really slow and there is a flicker otherwise. Known thing.

Had the same problem, I did a factory data reset. It's a pain in the ass but it fixed the problem.
Good Luck.

Well that's not it because my settings on the phone are all on auto-rotate.
the usual troubleshooting steps:
1) restart phone
if not
2) full wipe

I'm trying not to full wipe if possible, any more suggestions?
Jedi rom here. No issues with YouTube landscaping for what it's worth. No issues with anything for that matter. Sorry you're having issues. Would help if I had any ideas. Best of luck getting it taken care of without a full wipe.

1)Reboot in recovery
2)Wipe cache and dalvic
3)Reboot

Had the same issue, this fixed it for me.
Good luck

Well I tried this and it updated apps, but still no landscape mode on phone, not just YouTube. Also, Beats Audio isnt working either. Looks like I'll be reflashing.

Which jedi rom? Didn't see where you said. On 3.3 here and it works fine for me.

I'm on Jedi-X6. I think that the problem may have come when I was flashing it. I had it plugged in to the pc the entire time I flashed. I gave it 15 minutes without touching it instead of the recommended 10.
Update: Reflashed Jedi x6 4.1.2 and I'm having the exact same problem, no landscape at all on phone. I have found three locations on the UI where auto-rotate is selected. Setting, Display, and Auto-rotate screen; Settings, Accessibility, and Auto-rotate screen; and also in the status bar in toggles. Anywhere else it may be.
Hey folks. I've mostly been a lurker around here for a number of years and never posted but I've recently encountered a problem I can't seem to fix on my own. Here's some basic info.
Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919)
Stock ROM (rooted)
Android 4.2.2
BB Version M919UVUAMDL
Kernel Version 3.4.0_562219
Recovery Clockwork Mod Touch
The problem I'm having is that I have to leave my phone with auto rotation off. If I turn it on, landscape and portrait rotations are 180 degrees off, flipped, upside down, etc etc. I've been searching high and low for some way to fix this and no dice! Please let me know what I can do. I have tried accelerometer recalibration and a few apps but I just can't get it to work right.I would like to avoid a re-wipe. I finally have everything just right. Wipes irritate the heck out of me because I guess Clockwork Recovery can't access backups on the external SD card? Ugh.
Problem: flipped screen, camera up side down, camera flipped, screen 180, screen upside down. Reverse portrait, reverse landscape.
Fix: Had bad kernel. Flashed to a newer ktoonz kernel and it fixed the problem.
BTW: I just realized that my camera is also in fact flipped 180. Sheesh. This is a royal pain.

Are you perhaps using a kernel not meant for tmobile? I ported roms for the galaxy s 3 and they always did that unless you used a kernel meant for your devicce.

Im not sure what lernel that is im sorry.just got my s4. But anyhow is it a custom kernel that you flashed? If so make sure you got it from a tmobile thread. Or if you would rather it maybe easier to flash a tmobile kernel such as ktoonz and see if that fixes the issue.

Just figured out its a custom ktoonz kernel. Replaced it with old stock kernel with suid removed and problem seems fixed by my sd card went south when I did. Cant mount it. Copying files off it now.

Can any1 please link me the most recent stock kernel? Having trouble finding it.

Seems all fixed. Settled for flashing the newest koontz kernel. Cool.

I am seeing the reversed auto rotation on my wife's GS4(SPH-L720) and it is stock unrooted. She has made no changes to anything! Camera and menu's are upside down. Web pages are upside down. She needs to keep auto-rotation off, just to use it! Others online with the same problem have been doing factory resets with no luck. One person did 3 or 4 factory resets and still has the same problem. My rooted GS4 is ok (so far) but hers (not rooted) is driving her nuts. She will never root hers (and would be angry with me if she knew mine was rooted). Any help at all would be appreciated.

If it is stock and unroofed the only explanation would be hardware IMO..... There isn't another explanation especially if a factory reset doesn't help it.

That's what I was afraid of.
It must be a pretty significant issue as a great number of people online are having this same issue!

Hello,
I have this problem also.
Reset factory do not solve trouble.
Is there any one find an issue ?
Thx for help
I have the same problem. I flashed official firmware and is not solved, I'm on CM13 right now, will try to flash a custom kernel. I have problems with proximity, accelerometer, temperature and light sensors too.
