[Q] Help Camera Rotation Fix? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I have a problem with a camera rotation. Basically, when I open the camera to take a picture, the icon is either at the top or the bottom of the camera, then when I take a picture, it is always upside down. So, to get a picture that is not rotated 180 degrees, I have to turn my phone updside down.
Any idea how to fix this? I have flashed multiple roms and nothing seems to fix this. I do a wipe, infamous wipes, etc...
Can i totally rebuild the camera apk?
I have tried the "rotation fixer" on the t989 forum but no luck.
see screnshot. I took this picture in portrait mode.

have you tried to calibrate your proximity sensor?

How?

I am running jedi mind trick 8 and I don't have an option under display to calibrate anything. can you tell me how to do this? I can't find anything on the web as to how to do it.

Have you checked in the Jedi tricks settings or accessibility... can you do me a favor and download proximity test any one will work and this will rule out if it's the sensor don't worry we will figure it out

nothing in jedi tricks settings or accessibility... i downloaded proximity sensor finder. It says proximity sensor available. Last distance reported 5.0 cm. If i put my hand over the sensor, it does detect that i am covering it up.

i ahve been on jmt 6, 7 & 8. It started messing up about a month back and I can't find a fix. I tried the "rotation fixer" that some ahve used but it didn't work either...
I may have tried a cm10 at some point, but I am 90% sure i have only used jmt and it started messing up with jmt... it worked one day, then one day it started screwing up

Full wipe and reinstall sounds like you got corrupt files

every time I flash a rom, i do a full wipe from twrp. I also run infamous cache and super cache wipe.

Well if nothing is fixing your issue the only thing I can recommend now is to either go back to Odin and start from scratch.then flash 8 again if you dont feel the need for all that just try and deal with it brother you could also try flashing with cwm maybe that will help sorry I couldn't help you further man good luck to you please post if you find a solution you can help others later :beer:

Screen rotation problem

hi, after installing a JB rom like AOKP or CM10, it kills my screen rotation, this has happened to me a few times... the first time I managed to fix it by using the RUU, then I reflashed AOKP and as soon as i did that it killed my screen rotation again, so I tried to reflash the RUU but it did not work this time. Any ideas why this is happening, or how to fix it.. This has happened to me a couple of times, i managed to fix it sometimes by relocking/unlocking a second time.. But now nothing works. I need some help, because I do not think my phones Auto-Rotation is broken, since this happens after installing ROM's..

Do you have your "Rotation Modes" ticked?
Go to settings > Display > Rotation.
Enable it and then in the modes, select
0, 90 and 270 degrees which is default.
Additionally tick 180 if you want the phone to rotate upside down as well.
This worked for me sometime ago. If it doesn't work I don't know then.

I have been having the exact problem. I just flashed paranoid android 2.53 and flashed latest twrp recovery. My sensors are back. Maybe try that? I still can't tell if this problem is h/w or s/w

screen doesn't rotate at all. but in camera mode it works.
Rotation doesn't work at all on my tab 3 GT-P5210 10.1
running 4.2.2 everything is checked in the settings. smart screen, etc. soft reset and hard reset doesn't do anything. but in camera mode, all works and rotates properly.
Samsung support didn't have a fix. is there a patch or something ?
All of the hardware has been replaced. All of it. Only thing is left was the lcd and digitizer is the same.

This is not the Samsung forum, and where do you guys find these posts....being almost 2 years old :sly:
Samsung tab 3 gt-p5210 no rotating screen
Well I don't have all the time in the world to look up an exact thread or exact are to post this. You found it so I must be getting warmer...
I looked for as long time and couldn't find any post that was exactly for my MODEL. But yes this is the Samsung forum because I chose it from the list.
So I just need a little help in the right direction that is all I don't need for someone to tell me this is the wrong post. I am a techie so I know what I am doing. Just leaning the android ways. I like the hardware side mostly.
THANKS.

I found it because it gets back on top. It's better to open a thread in the specific device forum and get actual help that is based on this period of time.

boot safe mode, calibrate g-sensor.

hey,
im using vertigos pac rom (take a look at my sig) and there the built in flashlight works flawlessly even when the screen is off... maybe its ab bit of an overkill to flash a new rom just for the flashlight but i can really recommend you that rom it just kicks ass in every aspect (sorry for the ads )

[Q] Auto rotation and motion sensors not working

This is my first post, please tell me if there is anything wrong with the structure.
I have tried everything, installed every single rom on xda, but i can't make the rotation and motion sensors to work. They used to work, until i flashed the leaked 4.3 stock from samsung... after about a week they stopped working. Out of the blue really, the phone has no dents or bumps.. any solution?

Get GPS STATUS app from play store, open it up and hit the menu button, then click on TOOLS, this will let you calibrate the sensors.
Hope this will solve it, please let me know :victory:

Well you can't go on landscape mode.. calibration does nothing. Can't use apps that depend on gyroscope.
The motion features won't work at all, non of them. Quick glance etc.

[ROM] CM12-Light BETA

A port from a S3's CM12 ROM for the [SGH-T399] Samsung Galaxy Light .
DISCLAIMER READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS. This ROM was built for the T399, even though it was built on a rom that presumably worked on both models. People with Metro encounter FCs and Reboots when using High Accuracy GPS.
Android Version:5.0.2
With @Unjustified Dev's CM12 Build (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001602113) as a base (Thanks for your service!)
Also the Light in the name isn't because of it's size (yet(?))
Bugs:
- stock Cam still iffy, 3-rd party cam apps work. From personal use, Focal (by CM) works great, Cam Mx is good too.
- Prox/light sensor for telephony (off display when phone to ear) is iffy as well. From my use Gravity Screen has trouble using the light sensor when the flip cover option is not selected (6/10), when it is toggled the use is 8/10. Interestingly, when calling the screen turns off when close to ear flawlessly, sometimes it might not turn back on tho.
- Report if I left some out
--Streaming apps (Netflix, YT, Play Movies) has been reported to be not working. Some report that it's dependent on the .apk version. On the latest ver. of YT it works with no problems on various resolutions.
Oh and also.
I am not responsible to any damage to your device, PLEASE do a Backup of the device on TWRP.
Oh and as of right now I do not have the device in my possession. I GOT IT GUYZ
I'd like to thank you for supporting and testing this and helping to build support for this great device. :highfive:
Want a stock ROM as backup or for daily use? Here's my build Don't it's unstable.
I am holding off development until I get the device, sorry.
Read everything? Good, here's a link as your reward
ROM: V0.1 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=35178
(Vanila) V.02 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347772131 - CM stuff removed (for now), proximity sensor seems to be better
(Dirty) V0.2.2 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347773480 - build.prop battery tweaks, added cam permissions in the boot.img, let's see if that makes a difference.
(Dirty) V.0.2.3 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347774276 - libs migrations en mas (from stock, let's see where this rides takes us, HAVE A BACKUP READY PLZZZ)
MISC: GPS High Accuracy workaround for Metro (T399N) Read instructions here - THANK YOU @kireflow90 !
Also can I again thank @Unjustified Dev for building a solid CM build? He really did all the hard work.
Let me be the first to say mic seems to be working great while talking now ty. I'm Glad I'm you're little testing subject lol. Ty u again.
Ok so been playing around a bit and the YouTube app works again...mostly. My purchased items still aren't working. I'll upload a log for the camera in a bit

Gps still reboots phone when set to high accuracy, Netflix doesn't connect, Google play movies and TV app doesnt stream due to bandwith issues? I tried the proximity sensor when making a call and it seems to do better than before but like you said still glitchy.

Thanks, I'll get onto working more on this ROM when I get the device, since I broke a promise today I won't give a precise ETA as to when I might get the device, sorry guys. But thanks Kireflow90 for the info.

Yes do my FAM just gave to me I was just using to test flash ur ROM lol
As long as you have a spare to continue using to flash roms then I can't deny something free
Also I will be uploading two versions of the ROM soon, one with build.prop (and soon, among others) tweaks and one that I will keep as vanilla as possible.
I will also try my best to keep this method of release. It could take a day or two tho :/ so please be patient.
Downloading CM12-light+0.2 will give you update when I flash
Edit: only improvement I've found is the proximity sensor. It seems to be a huge improvement. Idk if I just got lucky but it didn't turn the screen on at all

When you upload, since you'll be putting both up, you should put vanilla in the name OR just code them with a V in the name. Like CM12-light+0.2V

Just double checking. The flashlight works every time.... and if not you tried the hardware test right? This was a known issue on the 920's

yes I have done uninstall it and then reinstall.
You are basically taking shots in the dark on this (no pun intended)
Maybe list out all the things you have done, what OS version, and update the issue started occuring....not sure who can offer help on this or what you are willing to do.
Go back to 8.1 if you cannot figure it out. Swap the back cover just to see...
I can think of only 3 scenarios:
-OS update caused
-App udpate caused
-Signs of Hardware degredation--meaning to turn torch on takes different voltage/amps then a burst (camera flash), or is triggered differently. Maybe something on the board is not working right in conjunction with the app. If you rollback to 8.0 you will know for sure on this.
it was after a update.
