So I just got my g3 and I love it but the orientation doesn't like to change really. Any ideas? I can get it to change if i force it but its very stubborn.

I know it's not supported by default, but is there a program or something I can do to change between landscape/portrait view? I was playing a game that changed the viewing from landscape to portrait automatically... so there must be a way, right?
Did you try to restart your phone by turning it off and back on?
Sorry that last part I worded weird. The screen went back to landscape after I closed the game. But it just got me to thinking I want to be able to switch between landscape and portrait. But I don't know of any programs that can. Is there one out there?
I'm sure I'm not the only one who's experienced this, especially because there was a post about this 2 months ago ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827657 ), but has anyone figured this out? Seems like sometimes I get a lockscreen formatted in a landscape mode, but normally I get itas the portrait mode.
No idea how to recreate the event, it seems to happen SOMETIMES when the screen locks as I'm using it in landscape mode, but then it quickly reverts back to portrait before I can do anything about it.
Any one have thoughts how to enable this every time?
Thanks!
I too have experienced this. I think it cause the lockscreen is actually created when you turn off your screen. Sent you are in landscape when you turn off the lock screen is created in landscape. When you turn on your phone it realize that the lockscreen should be in portrait. And recreates it.
Its configured that way from the lockscreen Java code. Its set to sense an orientation that isn't set by the rotation sensor. I'm not sure why it is set like that except for they only want landscape with a keyboard.

I would love to see this implemented in CM7
The following problem occurs only when i'm using non-sense ROM's.
The auto rotate feature is always on!
The lock screen, home screen, the phone screen etc etc always rotates. Even when I set it not to rotate on the home screen, it rotates!
The option for 0 degree, 90 degree all work fine. The sensors are also OK.
When i completely turn off the auto rotate it stops all right but it is not a solution as all apps like the gallery for instance also stops.
Currently I'm using BlackIce 1.25. This also occurs on Cyanogen, Oxygen (basically all Non-Sense roms)
MIUI and Sense dont seen to give me this issue.
Any ideas? Sorry if this has been posted before. If so please point me to the link before showering me with your blessings (read abuses)
Edit: I should tell you guys that i also have a problem regarding the phone call going to speaker phone automatically! Might be that the 2 of them are connected... any ideas please!
no one?? please... some one!!!

This is the way CM roms are made to work. Auto rotate is supposed to work as one setting across the whole system. Sense stops it from doing it in Sense apps.
I think I know what you mean, could you explain better to make sure it's also my issue?
I've had weirdness where I could tell cm that I want 0, 90, 180, and 270 to be available for screen rotation, while having auto rotation set to off.
The screen would rotate regardless of my selection, unless I unselected 90, 180 and 270...

so the setting in adw launcher of the home screen orientation is over-ridden by the cyanogen mod setting???
any way i can change this maybe? it gets kind of irritating when the lock screen and home screen rotate when i expect them not to.

found out what the problem was... my calls went to speaker automatically.. my auto rotate didnt work properly.. screen kept on lighting up after every few minutes... all hell broke loose...
Also, the earphones (stock) gave a kind of a current whenever in a call/playing music!!
Gave my phone a few days of rest.. then changed my usb cable... got one that doesn't move.. as in the slot is of a perfect size so that my port and the connectors dont move...
Problem solved.. my phone works like a brand new one! (well better coz it's rooted.. ) no issues whatsoever!
I always seems to be rotating and un-rotating my screen to get it to turn the way I want it to.
I had trouble with the Note1 with this and thought/hoped this new "smart rotation" camera checking you face position thing would help and I don't really think it helps at all.
It makes me especially nuts when I have my note 2 in Landscape mode in a holder in the car and my GPS software is shown the wrong way ...
I have also noticed that when using multiview that it gets more confusing.
Is this just more or are others not thrilled?
I would love to have a way to have a single button to make it rotate on demand and one then.
(NOT the don't rotate option that exists )
am I missing something basic?
THanks

I think its just the size of the phone, you try hold it and do stuff in one hand as you're used to, but because you have to hold it weird to get anything done, it rotates when you dont want it to. Only thing you can really do is disable autorotate. It would be good if you could adjust the threshold when to rotate, but of course on the other side of it, people will then say its too slow etc
Can't say this has been an issue for me. Seems to usually be in the correct orientation for what I want.

I know exactly what you mean. That's why I use display orientator. It places an rotate icon anywhere on your screen. So when you hold the phone in landscape. press the icon. and it stays locked in landscape.
When you're done in landscape, and hold your phone in portrait. press the rotate icon again, and it now returns to portrait.
perfect for me. No more flip floping rotating screen unless I want it to rotate.

+1 never had an issue. As suggested there will be an app for that.

Thanks - Display Orientator seems to be somewhat helpful.
He anyone seen thgouh any value added in this "smart rotate" in terms of using the camera to see where your face is? I have not found it helpful
I only ever had problems when changing between apps. I turned off the face checking orientation but it didn't conserve any more battery. On stock rom.
Nuts? Like hell, like Woods, like Savimbi. Seriously. I wondered no one had this issue unit I saw this topic. And that Smart Stay is a gimmick I think, I've no idea what it does basically!
I'll try that orientator app. Thanks.

I don't use Smart Rotate but I do find the phone way too sensitive at turning to landscape. Sometimes the phone is only barely tipped towards that way when placing it down and it rotates.
Any way to adjust at what angle it turns?
Anyone else having trouble setting the lock screen wallpaper?...it seems to not stick after i change it...I use nova launcher but even when I switched back to colorOS it wouldnt stick...I managed to get it to change one time but have no idea how now it wont change again
