every time after I played some game. the tablet will stuck in landscape mode forever unless i use some app only support portrait mode then it will stuck on portrait mode again. I have been looking for solution of this problem for several weeks.I know soft mode or soft reboot can solve this prom but after I play another game the problem will occur again. Is there a permanent way to solve this issue?
Are u sure that you don't have rotation locked, if you look at the drop down option window that comes from the clock area in the middle you see auto rotate, it may be locked.

nobody experience the same problem?
I think if you post a video of the problem in action it can be more helpful.
As a work around, the app Ultimate Rotation Control in play store can do a rotation mode called forced auto which will take any app and force it to your sensors rotation, even if the app nativly does not do landscape.

This is driving me mad.
My new Galaxy Note 2 randomly goes onto Silent mode. I thought it might be to do with motion so I switch all the settings off. Also there are two settings in display regarding motion and I've switched those off as well.
Still it goes randomly into Silent when I get back to the phone.
Anyone else having this problem or could it be a rougue app doing this?
I have read people complaining about this on the S3.
Thanks
Anis
Long shot, but... Did you check "lock mode" in settings?
Switch off your block mode if it is on in settings.

I think this is a builtin fault of system and it is with android since ICS
Thanks for the replies:
1) Don't know what you mean by Lock Mode?
2) Block mode is definitely not set.
It just did it again.

Sorry. My phone's language is Portuguese and I had to make a guess at the English equivalent. It is probably "block" as leony74 said. 6th entry on the Settings menu.
Sorry folks, I think it was my fault.
My Islamic prayer time app automatically put the phone in silent at prayer time.
Well, I am 99% certain it was this anyway.
I'll report back if it still is going into silent.
Thanks for all your help.
Exactly, Salati app was doing the trick, and the image confirm your theory.

Thanks for your reply, the problem was caused by our prayer app (Muslim prayers) so it turns the phone silent for praying time, i disabled it because sometimes i am not in the mosque so i need my phone on.

I finally found one of the possible reasons! It was avg antivirus app that was causing same problem in my note 2. Try uninstalling avg antivirus. It worked for my phone

yes, happens frequently here.
Can you get it to rotate normally tho ?
My lock screen doesn't rotate even if auto rotate is on. Its only when it freezes
It would be awesome if lock screen could rotate.

No. It instantly rotates back to portrait position.
One way to reproduce this is :
-enter camera without unlock.
-put phone in landscape position
-hit back button
and you'll see landscape lockscreen for aprox. 1 second, then it rotates automatically to portrait position.

Rotation is disabled. You can get it to rotate, probably some hack in the framework, but I don't know how.
My homescreen rotates like that when docked into the Desktop Dock, but I haven't experienced that glitch.
This isn't actually new. I knew of this since ICS.

Sorry I mean using pattern lock for example. simple slide unlock will bring you to homescreen as usual
My wife and I both have a GN2. Mine is running MyRom and she is completely stock (no root or anything).
She has a problem with the lock screen. Sometimes it will try to display in horizontal mode when the phone is being held in portrait orientation. This causes the lock screen pattern to be cut off.
I have never had this happen on my phone but she had to get her phone replaced (different reason) and it did it on both phones. She has to restart her phone to be able to unlock it.
I tried to mock up what it is doing but my artistic skill is lacking...

I wish I could screen shot because I've experienced the same. But I still just swipe up to unlock and it works just fine. You know how on nexus services the jelly bean clock where the hours and minutes are a different font abs one is bold over another is a description of how the display looks

Check her rotation settings, smart rotation and all. Im sure u already did that and it made no difference but its always the first thing to do.
From my experience whenever thst happens its because of excessive background apps are open killing the processor. Does she kill apps at all? Restarts the phone from time to time? Tell her to kill apps instead of backing out, hold the home button and the right buttin should kill the background apps and thr left bitton will take u to the ram and frees that up by clicking another button.
You can also download advanced mobile care on the phones and it has an option to kill apps when the screen wakes up, slight delay before input, bit it kills background and app processes. Good luck and report bavk

Hello,
My N7100's a little too sensitive to rotation on the right. This just started happening 2 days ago, out of the blue. For the left side, I have to rotate my phone properly into landscape mode but to the right, even if it is tilted 1/8th of an inch e.g. while picking phone up, switching hands or left handed operation, it will suddenly rotate to landscape.
I have tried calibrating the gyroscope some 10 times but to no avail.
Any solution to this?
Thanks!
SOLVED: Read post #8
No one?
It's a bug in samsung touchwiz (4.1.2)..I have it too only solution I got was to use ultimate rotation control it will help or else if you can wait for samsung to fix it in 4.2.2
Here's the app link I hope it helps

@mufaddalezzi Thank you for your reply. However, my problem has not been solved by the app since it doesnt adjust the sensor.
My problem:
Phone thinks its tilted to the right while it is only 5-6 degrees to the right. I cant play games that require motion sensing such as Temple run because the character is running to the right with the phone being perfectly straight.
XDA, i need your help!
P.s: i tried restoring to an older nandroid backup from TWRP but to no avail
Tried. Calibration from the service menu at *#0*# under Sensors and again, no help. This wathe post that fixedit for someone else

Maybe it's a hardware failure(accelerometer or gyroscope)..that means you might need to change/replace it

Sure? I am not covered by warranty and would hate to sell my phone the gyro works fine its just that the calibration of it is wrong, the phone thinks it is tilted slightly to the right
I figured it out. For anyone else with this problem:
1) Boot phone into safe mode (Turn phone off and turn it back on. As soon as animation starts press and hold volume down button - It should say SAFE MODE in the lower left corner of the screen when turned on)
2) Reboot phone
Voila!
Mystery solved. Case closed.
Hi,
I am running the TBS4 ROM and my device freezes when I do the following:
1) open any app (for example, the play store)
2) turn the phone so the app rotates into landscape mode
3) turn off the screen
4) turn the screen back on
5) the phone is now frozen and all you can do is hold the power button or pull the battery
Any ideas? I'm hoping it's just a setting I can change or an app I can uninstall. I don't think I have any special apps that could cause this. Any ideas?

im not sure if a fix or work around is available....and im not positive that thats what is causing the freeze...but i have seen that the aosp lockscreen can cause issues on some roms...
i would change it and see if that works. if it does you might wait around for bilgerryan or some other dev to see this thread and lend some knowledge...sorry i cant be more help
No fix, just don't use it if it causes lockups... It only works for like 50% or less and causes problems for everybody else
