ISSUE: Rotation not locking in Landscape mode
My device was rooted and I tried whatever Lollipop 5.1 ROMs are available even with different Kernels. Still I wasn't able to fix the rotation not locking in Landscape mode. I asked many people for help but sadly nothing helped. Everybody said this is a model specific issue. Now finally I'm back in the stock ROM [Android version: 4.4.2/NO ROOT/STOCK RECOVERY]. I don’t know what affected that issue, Bootloader? Kernel? But I deliberately want to stay on the stock 5.1 experience.
Somebody please look into this issue.
Thanks

Have you tried Stock 5.0.2?
And it COULD be an app preventing the tablet from staying in landscape mode. Did you install anything when trying the 5.1 custom roms?
And just to be sure: With Stock KitKat everything works as it should?

I was using actually Candy5 earlier version which was based on the 5.0.2. But when 5.1 is available who wants to go back ;P
Apps are not causing this issue because I tried flashing just the CM12.1 even without gapps, this issue persists. I doubt this is related to modem.img since it's a device specific issue.
Any ideas to fix this?

It would be interesting to test if the issue persists with stock 5.0.2 on your tablet. If it is, it could be a hardware defect. Maybe the gyroscope is faulty.

For your information I was using this ROM(aosp_v500-ota-eng.adrianomartins_5.1.1_r1_20150422) for a while and the rotation was perfect even from the first boot itself. But I was not satisfied with the battery life of this ROM. So I decided to try any other 5.1 ROMS like CM12 or Candy5. But they all have this issue. So not a hardware issue confirmed.

So it seems to be a problem with CM based roms (as Candy 5). I'm out now...

Hey! I have the same issue on CM 12.1. I would LOVE a fix for his because I use landscape rotation lock a lot. The only help I can give is I noticed it started on 5.1. On 5.0, it was fine.

I have reported this issue in many threads they all either ignore this issue or fail in solving this.

Yeah it's an annoyance but not one big enough to sway me from CM. I really need it fixed though.

Which ROM is it?
Made any modifications or is it stock of the ROM?
OT: How come you occur such weird issues all the time?

[Q] Camera Problem with Custom Roms

i tried Cyanogenmod 11 nightly, , CM11 Linaro and SlimKat 4.4, and everywhere i have the same problem, only the front camera works. in stock roms like LRS, everything is fine, as expected. i tried different camera apps, but the problem remains the same, the camera doesn't work, only the front camera does. there isn't even a button in the camera app to switch between back and front camera, as if i only have one.
is there a fix or a workaround for this? not having a camera is a dealbraker for me, but i really don't want to stay stock. i flashed multiple times, used different gapps versions, did factory resets and reboots, nothing seems to help, the stock version was 4.4.2 v50020. anyone else experiencing such problems?
WEIRD!!!!
I'm having the same problem. My Gpad came from the factory with 4.4.2 installed. and when I try to put any custon rom, this problem is with the camera. any solution? :crying:
Yes. The same problem. Maybe cyanogen team (Bug: CYAN-4444) can find solution.
same problem here, tryied every rom and kernel and nothing. only stock firmware back camera works.. can anyone help us?
read in one SlimKat thread that using the Google Camera from play store would work with all the custom roms, since it uses a different API than other apps.
Haven't tried myself, but you can give it a try
Google camera doesn't work better for me. This is very annoying

For me neither. Also in the latest builds where infected said the back camera should be fixed, it doesn't work for me.
The problem with camera is present on not only custom roms. It exists on official v50010a firmwares after downgrade. Possibly it's driver\kernel problem, which is caused distinction in camera's modules. Maybe new revisions of the G Pad use some other modules, than older ones.
Any directions to fix it ?
IMHO, they need to get out driver for camera from official 20a. But how it function with kernel, this is the big question that must be solved.
So, there is nothing i can do, except waiting somebody solving that issue ? No mistake on my side ?
Having no back camera is really not a problem to me, but i can't stand having something misconfigured...
Both cameras working for me slimkat 6.2
Not for me....
Some have problem... most don't, something different about your gpads ?

Rear camera not working too
Hi
For me the rear camera won't work too.
My G Pad is a V50020d with stock 4.4.2. I installed the Cyanogenmod 11 via CWM Philz Touch.
Same problem here
tried cm11, paranoid e now um on mahdi, no back camera on any of 3 roms
I haven't tested other custom roms, but Infected's CM11 M9 won't fix the back camera for me.
My G Pad (stock V50020a) is made in Brazil, there might be something to do with this driver or component-wise.
There is a source codes of the last firmware and kernel for the g pad on the lge site.
Maybe, it will help developers to add support for our camera module in the cyan kernel.
Same problem here... Spanish lg g pad 1 month of use

Wifi Issue

After i installed android L on my One M8 wifi problem started. When i lock the device wifi connection is break. How am i solve it ? Anybody know this problem ?
Edit : The problem is only Sense roms , not aosp roms.
Edit 2 : And the problem starts with install android L. How can i downgrade from android l to kitkat ?
I've got the same issue. Bluetooth has been acting up as well, though I think that's an unrelated issue for me. Personally, I Dont want to go back to kitkat after using L, so if anyone knows of a fix that'd be awesome.
Also, I am 99% sure I'm on the correct fw and have supercid enabled. Dunno if it makes a did but I have art as well.
I back the kitkat and problem doesnt seen but i wanna use android l. Somebody help us
Same problem. I bought m8 yesterday and i have updated it 5.0.1. Wifi does not work. Im so mad guys. Help please.
I think its the general problem for android l users. Am i wrong?

You need to update your firmware. Discussed in many other threads already.
I've already install last firmware.

Yesterday I flashed the ViperOne 4.0 beta, and my wifi kept dropping out as well. I was using 3.28.401.9 fw, because I read on a few threads that the 4.4.4 fw was compatible with Lollipop.
An hour and a half ago, I flashed 4.16.401.10 firmware, and my wifi has remained connected. Hopefully it stays that way.

If you installed latest try to reflash the Lollipop Rom again and it should work, I've seen the issue and most users fixed it with a reflash.
Before and after reflashing perform a factory reset/wipe.
Same. All the sense roms which based on android l, have that problem. Now i stay on kitkat (android revolution) and its nearly perfect. I think im gonna stay kitkat while the problem is solving. (sorry for english)

It's ok, KitKat is stable.
I use Lollipop, with no issues, but depends of the carriers, they push the updates.

Yeah. Even though I got wifi working on mine, I'm just test driving it and checking out what's new. I'll flash my 4.4.4 nandroid before I go to work tomorrow. Then prolly flash my lolli backup when I get home to play with a bit more tomorrow night.

Yes. I flashed 4.xx firmware (4.16.401.10 to be exact, might be different for your model) and I have no wifi problems whatsoever anymore.

Get into ADB/fastboot and do fastboot getvar all, then post the readout here. Edit out your serial # and IMEI for your own safety. Never post those on a public forum.
Thanks for helping. I will try it and then post here the results.

A5_UL touchscreen problems after update

I updated to 5.0.2 official and after a couple of weeks I started getting touchscreen problems, sometimes the the screen presses things itself without me even touching the phone, I do have a screen protector, a glass protector to be exact but it hasn't cause any problems, is it a software problem or something? I installed CM12 just now and still got the issue...
Perhaps it could be a kernel issue? I'll install some 4.4.4 CM11 based ROM and install GraKernel to see if it's a kernel issue.

I have the same problem. If you find any way let me know please
I spoke with a few HTC support agents and they said either we could wait for a possible patch if it's realy a software issue or we should return it to the retailer.

did you solve the problem by installing a different kernel ?

anyone have the compiled stock rom for the htc one v (virgin mobile)?

i know this phone is old as all get out but I recently acquired one of these and it seems to have twrp installed already but no actual firmware...
i'd like to flash back to stock but i would also prefer that someone could fish out a rom from the deep sea of mostly dead links that would be considered somewhat usable. i think there may be a 4.2.2 rom somewhere but i am unsure. the device codename is "primoc"
tl;dr: if anyone has the stock rom, please upload it if possible. i'd also like to see if anyone has a rom for this device that is on 4.2.2 or later. doesn't have to be that new but it is preferred
as for stock i am sure only 4.0.x exists
thanks in advance.
