Auto-Rotation problem - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Ive just recently got the s4, but my auto rotation doesn't work properly. It will go side ways but wont go vertically (until I turn off screen rotation or go back to home page). Can anyone help?

Lock screen doesn't work

Hello I am not sure at all what cause this problem but no matter what I do I cannot get my phone to have a lock screen. In fact I can't even to get it to slide in the beginning it just boots into my home screen and if I turn the screen on and off it goes straight back to the homescreen without me having to unlock anything. I've gone into the settings and made multiple types of passwords but none of them show up when I turn my screen on then off. I'm running paranoid android and any help would be nice

Thanks for the advice but flashing the gapps didn't work anything else I could try?

did you try settings/lock screen/screen security/screen lock and change that setting?
I'm on Paranoid Android too.
Sorry but yes I've tried that and no luck.

Old thread, I know. I found this thread searching for a solution to my
lockscreen problem. I want to leave this to help others.
I could not get the lock screen to work at all. I reflashed the ROM,
reloaded GApps, tried safe mode, and about a dozen other things...
nothing. GoLocker worked, but wanted the JB lockscreen.
I had set up Power Widgets in the notification drawer. One of them was the
lockscreen switch. I thought this locked the screen when tapped. I decided to
see if that would lock the screen. That's when I discovered that it activates/
deactivates the lock screen! It had been toggled off.
Toggling this switch does not change the status in the lockscreen settings, and
changing the lockscreen setting does not flip the toggle. So you need to check
both settings and the toggle, if you're using it.
Hope that helps!

My solution
My solution for this problem:
Go to settings --> Display & Lights --> Untick "Auto-rotate screen"! --> Profit (?)
P.s. I was on P.A.C rom.

[q] Screen rotation issues.

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?

[Q] Auto Rotate Randomly Freezing Up after MA5

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.

Screen rotation lag

Any fix for this? Un rooted because I have a mac. I changed animation speeds to .5 across the boards, but it takes 2 seconds to rotate the screen

Do you have smart rotation enabled?
Smart rotation, enabled or disabled still lags 2 Seconds at least

I have smart cover enabled and mine does not lag at all, 2 seconds is not on.

OK.. This has bothered me for a week. I did some testing on this and found on my Galaxy, if you do the following:
Go into Settings
then Controls
then 'Smart Screen'
Disable 'Smart Rotation'
Reboot / Restart Tablet
I gained just over a second in rotation speed..
Testing with a Stopwatch it went from 2.0+ seconds to around 0.93 seconds.
Note: Enabling Smart Stay, Smart Pause, or Smart scroll made NO difference..
Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 2014 SM-P600
Android version 4.3
Nova Launcher Prime 2.3
My first note rotated instantly compared to my second one. I returned it due to loose spen slot. I wish I'd just kept it. I posted a video on YouTube. Fast forward to the last 30 seconds. Animation set to 1.5x

[Q] 4.3 sux?

When I go landscape on my lock page it shows home and lock screens. Trying to poke in my code to unlock the screen fails to detect pokes 2 out of 3 times. Simply not working well and more complicated than the previous build. Anyone else having issues?
When u was on 4.3, it was quite smooth. Didn't have this problem.
