I seem to have an issue with my Vivotab RT. Not sure when it started since I only noticed it recently. When the lock screen is on the screen it will rotate the full 360. However, as soon as I unlock it it reverts to the default position and won't rotate at all. I saw one post here about a Lenovo that had this issue after updating to 8.1, but I never tested the rotation before updating so I don't know if this is the case. Is there a simple fix to this problem? Has anyone else experienced it?
After some searching this issue seems to be fairly common with multiple makes and models of tablets, both RT and PRO. The only common factor is they are running 8.1, and a reboot fixes it temporarily. There doesn't seem to be any fix for the problem though, which is disappointing.

So ever since I rooted and xposed kit kat, my nexus 7 has had this odd rotation bug. Mind you I only have gravitybox installed. If I leave my tablet in any orientation for about 10 minutes after a reboot, it will get stuck until I reboot again. This only started recently, and I haven't done much to remedy it because I don't want to deal with restoring all my stuff. Is there anything that might fix it short of this?
Same problem
I have been having the same issue since around the kitkat update. Exact same issue actually, can't figure out how to fix it. I've already factory reset and tried to install a different rom and nothing =(. Need to contact asus for warranty i think
Here also often the problem that screen rotation stops working. Which is very annoying for instance when using Flo before sleeptime while loading battery. In that scenario reverse portrait is needed.
When googling a few months ago before KitKat I found in Google Discussion Groups topics with a ridiculous amount of people with same problem starting from Jelly Bean 4.3 (I think). There it appears it is a often occuring Android bug on all Nexus devices. Even factory reset or reflashing firmware not helping. Apparently not fixed in KitKat.
But not fully informed and 100% shure further about this anymore now. Have to reinvestigate. But it is most cerainly not a hardware bug. Otherwise rotation would never work.
Most of the time in my case rotation stops only working for a little while since KK. However since about a week it rotation won't start working again for a long time like while using JB.
Tried lots of things which seemed to work and than later not. Such as shutdown and power on. Soft reset/hard reboot by long pressing power. Etc.
Probably I will now use same temperary solution as in JB. And hoop fix will come finally from Google. That means using a 3rd party rotation app from Play Store during moments Android rotation has stopped working. Not all those apps working though when Android's rotation itself stopped.

I installed hd widgets and use the tilt lock control button.
Hi, All -- I've got two Pixel 2 XLs: one on Android 8.0.0 and one on the final released version of Android 8.1.0. On the Android 8.1 phone, when using the camera app, the screen will freeze briefly when the phone is rotated (portrait/landscape). But this doesn't happen on the phone that's still back on 8.0. Are other people seeing this change with the Android 8.1 upgrade? Or might something else be causing this issue on my Android 8.1 Pixel 2 XL? Thanks!
Just tried this out and yes I'm getting the same on 8.1
I've just did what you say and no, it doesn't happen at all on my Pixel 2 XL upgraded to Oreo 8.1.
Did you try factory reset?
interesting! Yeah, a factory reset seems to have fixed this issue on my Android 8.1 device. Fingers crossed that this'll stay smooth.
OK, I think I sorted this out. It's Meteor Swipe that causes the problem. It must be something related to its screen overlay function that, on the Pixel 2 XL running Android 8.1 (though not 8.0), causes the camera to stutter when the screen is rotated. The issue goes away when I add the camera app to Meteor Swipe's blacklist. I wonder if other apps that require accessibility access might cause this problem in the camera app.
Not seeing this behavior between my two 2XLs. Was in beta program with the first. Can't seem to get the second one to update to 8.1.
Hey guys, running the latest lineage 14.1, and for several months I've been experiencing this annoyance where if I long click something, the screen will rotate 90°. I've done several full wipes but no improvement. I know the sensor is fine though because when I physically rotate the tablet the screen orients correctly. Any guesses? Thanks.
When I got my 5T one year ago, I noticed that the scrolling was a bit jittery while I touched the screen. Any scrolling that happened when I wasn't touching the screen was smooth so I figured it had to do with the digitizer. I read some thread about it but never found a solution, and I finally accepted the fact that this phone didn't feel as smooth as my Nexus 6 did on this regard.
However, after the Android Pie update, the scrolling is now much smoother. There's barely any noticeable difference between scrolling with my finger in Chrome and scrolling that happens without interaction (like when I push away a page and let it scroll by itself).
Am I the only one experiencing this? Maybe I'm extra sensitive to these things, or perhaps my phone had some weird bug that finally got overwritten with the OS update - I never tried factory resetting my device.
Sorry if this has been solved or a thread already made, please point me to it if so, I have looked but did not find,
My issue is when I apply the stock live wallpapers after a while they stop moving and seem to jump around as if trying to keep up with hand movements, I've tried all the live wallpapers and they all do the same thing, I've even installed a 3D wallpaper app and it does the same, anyone else having this issue? Sorry if I'm late to the party.
I assume no one else is having this problem.
I don't use live wallpapers, so I can't report. I'm sure someone else does, though.
no issues with live wallpapers here
Do you happen to be using any of the stock live wallpapers (Bloom) the ones that uses the phones accelerometer via hand movement? I installed app called liveWall and those wallpapers work fine it's just stock Bloom live and the 3D ones.
I use the earth view from space live wallpaper. It works fine including live cloud updates.
Iv found a article reflecting my issue and I don't think I can fix it, think it's gonna have to be another software update

I have the auto-rotate bug with my P6P. Doesn't always rotate. A little annoying for sure. Especially when I use maps (landscape mode) with my phone in the car windshield holder.
