I had the same issue, and reset to factory default solved it.

Recently, my screen rotation stopped working. If I select screen rotation from the drop down menu it would flip the phone into portrait mode. I wanted it to be locked in landscape mode instead. I don't know how it happened and I'm still on stock Rom but rooted. Any ideas how to fix it?
Hello. Lately my screen rotation has been all buggy. Sometimes it won't rotate and other times it rotates, but gets stuck on landscape mode with no way to rotate back to portrait except for luck or a reboot. Any ideas?

I have rhe same problem at times but it doesnt happen too me that much..what rom are u running?
Has anyone else had a screen rotation issue on their Note 4?
In almost all apps, rotating from portrait to landscape or landscape to portrait has a very long delay. Usually at least 10 seconds, and sometimes not at all unless I tap the phone on a hard surface, and then it rotates.
That might suggest a sensor problem, except for 2 things that do work:
1) In camera mode, the buttons rotate instantly when I rotate the phone
2) In GPS status, which indicates phone orientation, it registers the screen rotation as roll in the pitch/roll display, although the GPS status screen does not rotate correctly either.
These seem to confirm that the actual sensor is working ok.
I've tried safe mode, clearing cache, closing all open apps. Nothing changes in the behavior. I also tried turning off SmartStay, and changing display mode.
Some hits I found suggested turning off "smart screen rotation" on the S5, but that setting doesn't seem to exist on the Note 4.
Has anyone had this problem and found a solution?

This is like a dead giveaway for a hardware problem.
Wow, 10 seconds is a looooonnnggg time for a screen rotation. I've never experienced this on my Note 4, so the only thing I can think of is talking to your carrier or Samsung themselves to ask about it. Sounds like a hardware failure to me.
Yeah, that does make it seem like a hardware problem. But like I said, the camera buttons rotate instantly every single time, with zero lag. That would seem to say the hardware is working, unless the camera uses a different sensor for rotation than the rest of the UI.
Also, my wife has the same issue with her Note 4. We got them at the same time, so maybe it's a problem with that batch.
Since we both have it, it seemed like it could be caused by some app we both have, but I thought booting in Safe Mode would eliminate that, as only stock apps run in Safe Mode.
I guess I could wipe the device completely and see if it resolves. If not, I'll take it in as a hardware problem.
After a full wipe and cache clear, it still has the same problem. I called Verizon, and they are shipping out a replacement phone.

Hi!
My Desire Eye's home screen has been rotating whenever I slightly tilt it since this morning and no, the Auto Rotation mode is not enabled. I did a soft reset but still the screen keeps rotating, and I can't find any solutions for it anywhere.
Usually, when Auto Rotate is ON it rotates almost every apps' screens but never the home screen or menu screen. When I woke up today somehow the Car mode was turned ON, but I exited it without doing anything else. I wonder if it caused something to change in my phone.
Does anyone know how to fix this? You'd save a life. :crying:

Yes, I'm sure.
So I have a very annoying issue and wondering if anyone else does. I have auto rotate on. If I am on a phone call and hang up it screws p the auto rotate feature and everything is sideways. Only way to fix is turn auto rotate off/on again.
Anyone else have this issue? I did update to the November OTA and still is there. About to factory reset unless someone else found a trick to fix it.

i have an auto rotate issue where if i use the phone in landscape mode for too long (1-2 minutes), the screen "snap" back to portrait and back to landscape. watching videos in landscape is annoying. recording in landscape will cause the video to stop recording when the snap occurs.
i use a third party app called "set orientation" to force it to landscape when i need to, and that solved my issue.
try this app and see if it works for you (it's free)
I have this issue on both on my pixel 2 xls
That's strange, I actually had an issue where I couldn't turn auto rotate off. Well, I could turn it off, but locking and unlocking the phone would turn it back on. Every single time. Until I installed the November OTA. Seems all better now.
My auto rotate shuts off by itself, have to switch back on frequently
