Hi guys, I've been having a persistent issue on my two weeks old Nexus 5X, basically a few times a day auto rotation stops working forcing me to restart the device.
I've never used Marshmallow, is anyone having this issue on DP5?
Thanks in advance.
Yes I'm having the exact same issue. I've been using an app which allows you to manually set the orientation through a persistent notification.
Hopefully this gets fixed soon.
I had that issue too
I just turned off and on the auto rotate from notification bar and now no problem at all

So you didn't had this issue on Marshmallow?

Nope, worked completely fine on MM. I've been looking out for the cause of the problem to see whether it's a bug in split screen or something.
Edit: Atefi's solution didn't work for me either.
Do you play Pokémon GO @Ryandos?
I haven't had this issue with DP5?

I found it was definitely Pokémon GO that breaks mine. Restart gets it going again.

Hi,
I have noticed that sometimes the auto screen rotation doesn't work anymore. I have tried to disable and enable again the screen rotation icon but it doesnt help. The only way to restore the screen rotation is to reboot my Note2.
It happens every time after having used a few days my device.
Any idea what could be the reason for this bug?
I am using a stock Rom with root.
Smart rotation is off.

I have just noticed that enabling and disabling the Smart rotation ( in settings-display) restores the auto screen rotation.

It doesn't help and since a few days, I have to reboot every day my NOTE 2 to have the auto screen rotation working.

Yes and every trick stopped working.
I have installed the app "Ultimate Rotation control" . With this app, I can force applications to rotate but it doesn't
work when the rotation is set to "auto" ( of course until I reboot)

Bummer! I have the same bug but it is the only bug so I'm not going to complain too much!

I think but I am not sure that the bug appeared after I have flashed a Perseus Kernel (I see that you have also
a Perseus kernel)
Maybey i found the problem
I maybey found the problem for the screen rotation glich!
I've done my reboots and taking the battery out etc...but after a while the problem kept returning!
Now....i've been wondering around on some forums and i found and read that they have the same issues after the 4.1.2 update!
So.....i tried all the apps on my phone.....exept one!...YOUTUBE!
I have uninstalled youtube and also turned it OFF in the aplication manager!
rebooted my phone!...and gues what?.....my note 2 is running like sunshine and no screen rotation problems! (knock on wood)
Sometimes when you put like a..news app on...some news apps also use Youtube for a movie to show you whats happening wright?
So if you didnt used youtube but did lool at your news app..youtube gets activated without you knowing it!
And then...also yhe screen rotation glitch returned!
Since i put toutube off.....problem GONNE!
But then again.im not a specialist!...im using:
baseband: N7100XXDLK7
Version 4,1,2
Kernel: 3.0.31-679347
I have a unbranded phone!
But ive read on forums that this is a problem for ALL THE NOTE 2's after the update!
Greets and help yourselff
Mike.
Tick auto display brightness and it will rotate!
I too got the same problem some times back. And along with that the network was also not getting detected. Some of my friend told that the network IS is gone. But I went to the service station and the software up gradation makes it alright.

Did we ever figure out a real fix for this? Was the true cause of the problem ever even isolated? I am aware of the "auto brightness trick", but have also heard about fumbling around with the multi window feature or opening the dialer to "unlock" it.

I got the same issue and yes, it seems like it occurred after I too flashed the Perseus Kernel. Damn.
I know there's another auto brightness thread but I think my problem is different. I'll turn it on, leave the phone in standby for a while, and when I use the phone again I find the auto brightness doesn't have the check mark there anymore? Has anyone else noticed this?
I was wondering why my battery was draining so fast when I was using it. That's when I realized my setting was at full brightness but the Auto had become unchecked so it was running at 100 constantly without auto adjusting. I've used the 100/Auto checked on all my other Samsung devices dating back to the Note 2 and S3.
I'm thinking it's a software glitch which will hopefully be fixed in a future update. If it is, I'll live with it for now...
I actually had the same issue and I found that the issue was related to game recorder app I just uninstalled and now is fine
Interesting... I don't have any kind of recorder apps so I'm kind of at a loss as to what other app could cause that...

For what it's worth, I started having other issues yesterday morning. When I first got the phone, and did the OTA, I did a factory reset as was widely recommended to do. Apparently it din't clear up everything.
What I ended up doing was, yesterday, I did another reset using the Samsung Smart Switch software. I backed up what I could, let it reset, and restored afterward. So far it's been 24 hrs and no issues.
I have the same problem with the auto brigthness with my galaxy S6 edge . but when i uninstall the car app from samsung its gone
maybe it works for you too

Interesting.. car mode is the culprit? That's not the only bug in that app then. There's an option to auto close the app when the bluetooth connection is disconnected from the car.. it doesn't work for me.
But I'll just be sitting there doing something and if I'm in a dark room... WHAM I get blinded LOL...
I got a replacement today so I guess the saga continues...

I installed Samsung Switch for pc and did a backup for my edge.
I then did a factory reset.
Restored the backup from Switch.
I also un-installed a Go battery saver application.
Since then no more auto-brightness switching itself off.

I did all of that, except for the app you removed. It behaved itself for a about 24 hrs and still came back. How long has it been for you?

Hello guys,
I'm facing some weird problems with my phone,
×All installed apps automatically restart or FC for at least once or twice.
×Music player stops when screen goes off.[Solved]
Also I want to ask, it is normal in emui that we can clear a sticky notification because I'm able to clear all notifications including those which are not supposed to be? Is it normal?
I did reset the settings but no luck
Please reply if you know anything about these issues.

There is a solution that you need to try:
Go to settings - battery - Click the gear icon on right hand top - UNTICK "close excessively power-intensive apps"

Sounds like it could be a proximity sensor issue. Maybe it's somehow covered by your case or screen protector so the phone thinks it's in your pocket all the time? Just a thought.

Sounds like a software glitch. Bout all I can suggest is a factory reset, or flash the factory image. Was this a result of an ota or did you update it?
same happens to mine. It happens when the battery is low, but at "random" times too. It's like the AOD app in dozing.

Nope I don't use battery saver. Another issue I noticed that started with 8.1 is that my AOD will rotate to landscape sometimes. I've been having other issues recently too, may try for an RMA soon. My sketchy GPS is getting on my nerves

My screen flashes when the screen locks. It does this for a bit and then just randomly stops doing it, until it starts again. I've contacted Google and they won't let me do an RMA saying it's a known issue and should be fixed in a coming update. Anyway else have this issue?

Well hopefully. Thanks.
Well I'm running the April update and the flashing issue returned today again. Still no fix. Ugh.
Mine started doing it after the April update. I started uninstalling a bunch of apps (like rotation control) thinking it was causing the issue. But nope...

Not happening all the time. Does it for like 10 mins then stops for a week or two before randomly doing it again.
It's infuriating, as people keep thinking I'm taking their photo. Anyone heard anything more about a fix?
Long discussion in Pixel product forum. No fix helped yet. I have heard that Google isn't allowing replacements because of the flashing; which hopefully means that they are working on a fix.
We'll have a new security update in a few days - I have everything crossed!
My XL started doing it today. Think I updated yesterday to the 5 May patch.
Just rebooted and it stopped. But I'm sure it will return

Any updates on this? Still good on P beta? I have a brand new 2 xl (Literally 5 days old) and just started experiencing this today. Should I just wait for P to release or should I go back to the verizon store and get a replacement?
I just picked up the XL 2 yesterday and my screen started flashing today. Called Google support and they said it is a software issue and that they are working on a fix for it and will roll it out in an update. Seems rather strange they've heard about this for 6 months and still no update as of yet. My bet is that this "fix" is Android p.
