No rotation - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

So I uodated to kitkat today (the official firmware) and now I come to notice a few hours later that no matter what app, launcher or browser is running the phone does not go into landscape mode. I ticked off screen rotation in settings and tested my accelerometer. This is very puzzling and any help would be much appreciated

Did you uninstall Samsung hub?

Ssbro is right. If you did uninstall s hub you can loose auto rotate.

Note 2 problem

For some reason when I detach my s pen, the s pen icon and page buddy aren't showing up. It's making the sound and vibration but no icon or page buddy even though it's turned on. Secondly, does anyone have blocking mode icon in your scrollable settings in your notification bar? I thought mine was there but maybe I'm mistaken.. Anyone know why my s pen/page buddy isn't showing up? For $700 I should not be having this problem.

there's a setting for that option in the settings menu did you turn it off?
Interesting... I'm running nova launcher.. I switched back to touch wiz and it worked.. Now I'm back to nova and the icon is showing up when I pull it out. So I guess it's a nova launcher problem?

As far as I can tell those are TW home screen options. I use apex and don't have them either. Blocking mode is there on mine also

What the hell? You have blocking mode at your scrollable settings at the top? I thought I did last night, then I used it for the first time and now it just see it in my normal settings..

It should be between mobile data and power saving. What ROM are you on? Are you using the 15 toggle mod?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
I don't have the mobile data one either. No rom.. I'm stock with nova launcher prime. I only find mobile data and blocking mode in my full settings. I remember having mobile data on my scrollable settings on my s3 but not on here.. Wtf is going on?

I just talked to another guy who has the att version and he does not have the mobile data or blocking mode toggle either. What's going on here? I'm trying to find out if I have a defected device or not

I do not have either of those in my pull down either. Mine totals 10.
Yeah man I have 10 too. Okay I feel better now.. I thought it was just me.

10 toggles here too. Don't need or want more.
The page buddy is touchwiz launcher specific. Your device isn't defective.

Err0xx is correct. I have Nova Prime and it is disabled as well. In addition a few widgets are removed as well. I like tue calendar app because it shows exchange tasks as well. It was removed when I used Nova. I tried to levrage Novas resize feature. Back to the drawing board.

I know that this is an old thread, but I got here searching for the same problem with the spen icon, also using Nova Launcher, and as there didn't seem to be a solution listed here, I thought I would post what ended up working for me. After a little troubleshooting with Samsung, they recommending hovering over the screen with the spen, and pressing the spen button 4 or 5 times rapidly, which I did, and now it all works perfectly. Can't comment on the toggles, but for at least the spen bit, maybe I can help someone out.
Same here...your phone is fine....I'm on ATT stock UCAMA4 build.....g
for custom launcher (apex, nova, go, and so forth) use an app from market called s-pen helper and it'll set you through for pen stuff and also for headset stuff. good luck...

Landscape In Call screen

Is there a way to make the stock dialer (while IN A CALL) go landscape? short of installing a 3rd party dialer?
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda premium
looking for the same thing with my Note 3. It seems they keep forgetting some people like the phone in landscape while in the car.
If you guys are rooted have you tried xsposed framework and the app settings module

Is it safe to freeze stock keyboard?

Is it safe to freeze stock keyboard? Will it have any ill effects?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
it's safe if you do it right.
first you need to install and activate a reliable replacement keyboard, set it as default, freeze the stock keyboard, and then reboot.
it is a good idea to install a different keyboard as system app, just in case something goes wrong at some point.

Don't freeze apps such as default launcher or keyboard. You'll always need them in case you run into problems with the 3rd party ones.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
yes you can until and unless you've got a working perfect Keyboard from play store .
I'm switching to the Google keyboard. Just hate the little icon in the notification bar.

Go to Settings>Display and make sure the auto rotate screen is checked. I've never used the calibration but I don't know how it would keep the screen from rotating unless the calibration is wrong.

I'm afraid that's what you'll have to do. I was on 1.2 and just went to 1.4 and rotation works just fine for me. So after full wipe don't touch the accelerometer calibration

I'm using CM10.1.2 as well and the rotation works. Apart from checking "Auto-rotate screen" have you checked the "Rotation modes" options below in the same screen?
The rotation works on your device when using stock Android?

Again it does work properly on my end. Either there is a problem with the accelorometer or there is a setting somewhere that you are using that's causing the problem.

I have the same issues, probably it's hardware related
Have you guys tried rotation locker on Google play? I had the opposite problem with an app forcing rotation when I had my view locked on portrait. It has an auto option that you can force.
I try everyhing with no success
All options checked 100 times

HD Widgets Status Bar Weather

In assuming that there are quite a few people that use HD Widgets, so I'm hoping I might be able to get some help with this. I'm trying to use the status bar weather notification that is built into the app. It works perfectly fine until I reboot my phone, and then it only appears after I open up HD Widgets - then it will work like it should until I reboot again.
I've changed literally every setting that would make sense to change in the app for the problem I'm having, and nothing worked.
Any suggestions?
