Disable automatic screen rotation

Hi folks,
I have searched all over with no answers.
My rom (mightyrom war) has auto screen rotation enabled in multiple apps and all it does is kill performance for me and interfere with s2u2.
There is nothing in my settings or apps to change this.
Does anyone know of a way to KILL auto rotation and only allow it to work with the keyboard opened?
Your input is much appreciated.

get on your registry and go to
HKC\software\htc\htcsensonr\AutoRotation = "1" (change it to "0" )

THANK YOU!!!
Been driving me nuts.

Doesn't work for me
This doesn't work for me - at least not for my purpose. The ROM I'm using doesn't auto-rotate based upon which app is running. I want it to always stay in landscape - unless I manually rotate it (I have the arrow key next to the power button set to rotate 180, via keyboard config).

This doesn't work. I tried disabling all the oem_misc.dll devices. I2C1 seems to disable rotation to portrait when closing the keyboard, but also crashes it! :-(
Well, if all else fails, you can always physically intervene. I decided to just hot glue a rare-earth magnet onto the edge. It holds the little magnet inside the screen up so that the phone always thinks the keyboard is open. This finally sticks it in landscape.

Magnet is right there, it's very small. I colored it black with a permanent marker so it's really quite tolerable. They sell very small ones at radio shack.

You wouldn't happen to know what it is/if it's any different for CDMA version would ya? I went to both HKEY Classes Root, HKEY Current User and HKEY Local Machine, I didn't see a HKC, also I didn't see an AutoRotation entry closest I saw was GSensor.

Geolocation Problem. Does not exist?

So today I applied a couple of updates and I "think" that Beautiful Widgets was the last prior to seeing "Geolocation Problem: Location does not exist"

What the deuce!!!! Never have had to do that before.
Thanks for letting me know najaboy, would have never figured out the reason. Would have fixed it without knowing as I use maps all the time, just wouldn't have known what fixed it.

OK, spoke to soon. It didn't pop up but this time I got an explanation somewhat... Still don't know how to fix it:

I just got this message for the 1st time (traveling on business). I just closed this message, and it picked up the right location immediately. I have it on airplane mode during the day since I can't get signal where I am during the day, so the phone + GPS might have been in a confused state.

I got the message once yesterday, and now since 3am EST It keeps giving me this error message. Even with GPS on AND opening Google Maps.
PS - Also, I read on Androidforums something about checking the alternate geocoder, but that option is greyed out for me.
PPS - I changed from Accuweather to Google Weather and it seems to be working now.

I have the same issue .. switching to GOOGLE for weather seems to fix the issue but I dont think it is providing the correct location as accuweather did
any fix?

Interesting, never seen that...I kinda want it to happen just to be like, ha, I don't exist right now.

I have the same problem with something fix for me
First of all I'm sorry for my English as I'm from Thailand
I got the exactly same problem and I tried many way to fix it out and what is work for me is
I go to application, Manage Application, and clear the Data for Beautiful Widget
Then I remove the home widget and Add the beautiful home widgets again and set the weather service for Accuweather then thing just come up and the problem just fixed
This is work for me.
Cheers

This is a year old thread bud, safe to say this isn't a common problem.

[App Proposal] What do you think? -On the Edge of the World-

So, hello everyone it's been a while.
For those who wonder what the heck is this guy,
I made this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/themes-apps/edge-navigation-bar-button-t2950486
Anyhow, let's get to the point.
I've been around making this app... called 'On the Edge of the World', or 'the Edge of the World', or 'World Edge' to shorten a lot.
For now, it's quite simple. It basically works in three steps.
1.When loaded,(that is user swipes edge panels and World Edge shows up), it checks gps location.
2.Then it retrieves google maps image from online and shows the image on the edge panel
3.Also, it writes down the address of current location.
I have fooled my phone so that it thinks that I am at the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Island.
See the image below of the prototype I have worked on.

GPS locations are not re-called automatically after once it's loaded due to battery issue.
You can refresh your GPS location manually by clicking that Compass icon below, though.
(Yes, it's the icon from Safari. Sorry Jobs, I have always been shameless about stealing great icons.)
So that's basically it, at least for now.
What do you think? Too gimmicky?
What kind of functionality does this app need to become a killer-app?
Let me know.

Reserved just in case

Good work again. And what about battery use?

Possibly a GPS navigation system using just the edge with voice prompts. It can display an arrow when you need to turn(flashing arrow for a hundred meters or so) and have the voice telling you where to go. Make sure it has downloadable maps so it doesn't cost using wireless internet.
Good enough idea for you?

Similarly to the Google Maps micro on Wear? I could get down with that!

Love the idea, can't wait to see it in action!

Google Assistant Issues

Can anyone else confirm whether the Google Assistant is working correctly on their device?
I can't seem to trigger 'OK/Hey Google' when the screen is off - this functionality worked flawlessly on my Galaxy S8 but only seems to work on the A70 when the screen is on.
What's also interesting is that when I try to access 'Voice Match' the sub-menu doesn't open when clicked (but isn't greyed out).
I've tried reinstalling both the Google and Assistant apps but with no success.
I really miss being able to give commands when driving!
Presumably Bixby (ugh!) still works with the screen off, so I doubt it's a limitation of the SD675 chipset?

Same here. Doesn't work when the screen is off, but works when it's on even if the device is still locked.

Thanks for confirming.
I'll flag this to Google and Samsung teams, but I feel it may be intentional...

Make sure that lock screen personal results is ON in the Google app >> settings >> Google assistant >>assistant >> your phone (in the assistant devices list at the bottom of the page). This is off by default.

Thanks for the guidance. Is your screenshot from an A70?
I don't even have that menu option available? Here's what I have, you can see how it's missing from the list.

Hmm yeah that's from my A70. I am on the beta version of the app so it might be that. Try v10.20.2.21.arm64

Thanks, I tried this but still can't get OK Google to trigger the Assistant when the screen is off. Is this not driving anyone else insane?

Have you found any solution buddy

Question Digital wellbeing apk ? & problem with nova launcher

Hi guys !
I have been facing the known problem for a few days now.
This is that when I press the center button it keeps asking me to select Launcher .
I searched for this problem and read reports that the app is causing it Digital wellbeing.
In my case, however, the suggested solutions (uninstall updates, freeze app, clear data) do not solve the problem.
Here I should note that the application is pre-installed from the Samsung store, uninstalling it is not possible.
Do you have any idea that can solve this problem?

That's a trash app, worthless. Either use Package Disabler or an adb edit to stop it if you can't disable this app in settings.
Edit:
Just tested it on my N10+/Pie variant. It can't be disabled in settings. How thoughtless of them.
Use one of my first two options to take out the trash plus it removes it from the settings menu.
Another Google save the dumb bunnies, feel good parasite service. Gookill sucks.

Do you have any apκ (Package Disabler) to recommend me?

Sent you the link. Not on Playstore.

Ιn the end the problem was created by the application fitpro .
I found it completely by accident while looking for the solution to the reports I was finding about Digital wellbeing.
As soon as I uninstalled it, the problem was solved and everything now works perfectly as before.

DP makes finding buggy apps easier by letting you disable them on the fly.
The interactive widget let's you toggle one or more apps on/off.
