I dropped my G2 a while back and the screen cracked but still worked fine. I just got the digitizer replaced today, which I ordered on eBay and had installed locally. Everything works except for the auto-rotate function. Here is what I've tried:
Settings-->display-->auto-rotate screen is checked
I did a factory reset of the phone
The phone rotates to landscape mode ONLY when I use the keyboard
Any ideas?
Just throwing this out there but try going into Cyanogenmod settings>user interface> than scroll towards the buttoma nd see if 90 and 270 is checked. Might help and maybe try a game that uses the accelerometer to test if yours is broken? Not a expert on this kind of thing but just my advice to see if you track the source of the problem. And i am only assuming that you haev cyanogen
Thanks for the info, not rooted right now though.
Just went into Google Sky Maps and it doesnt rotate at all. Is there anywhere in settings to calibrate the accelerometer? Wondering if it's a problem with the new digitizer I got...
I've had a similar prob with 2 NIB G2's. It showed up after the OTA, Pre OTS, everything was fine, after, landscape only works with certain apps and games. I just live with it for now.
i'm bumping this. i am not rooted (yet) and have this same issue. wondering whether to do a factory reset or no...?
I purchased the Desire Z/G2 3 days ago now and I believe that the auto-rotate feature was first working on the home-screen. Now after 3 days it doesn't auto-rotate on the home-screen, but is fine with all other apps.
Is this a common problem as I feel to return the handset. I've already performed a hard reset but to no avail
Has anyone fixed this?

Desire Z or G2? The software is different, so you need to tell us which one you have.
If its the Desire Z, the Sense home screen does not auto-rotate (by design), and you are remembering it wrong (but it will rotate when you open the keyboard). Don't know about the G2, since I own the DZ.
Thanks Redpoint. I own the Desire Z, I managed to install an ADW theme and the auto-rotate feature seemed to work. So you are correct...wow my memory is alluding me.
I've been using wear mini launcher for a few weeks and within the last week its stopped working on the watch despite it be in installed. Can't get the swipe from left to open it or anything. Anyone have this issue and any idea on how to fix it?
EDIT: somehow it got turned off in the phone settings.
Hello everyone, recently ive been having screen rotation issues.
At first i believed it was a hardware issue, but since a simple reboot would get it working aging i ruled it out.
I Reset the device (Factory Reset) and orientation was working fine for few weeks even with nova launcher.
Recently it started to act up again, so disabled Nova with titanium, uninstalled all root apps and switched to Google launcher.
i Let it sit for the night (on) and in the morning no rotation issues showed, once i enabled Nova and let it sit for a few hours rotation stopped again
Has anyone had similar issues with 5.0/5.0.1?
Anyone?
I have a Verizon Tab S 10.5, which has been working fine for months. Now, I'm experiencing random times where the touchscreen is unresponsive. The physical buttons still work, and the bluetooth keyboard still works too.
If I press the power button, then unlock it, the touchscreen works again.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I love the tablet otherwise.

I have the 8.4 and am experiencing the same difficulty. I usually use a stylus and suddenly, the same stylus on the same page of the same site, isn't responded to. I push harder but that never works. I find that using my finger, even for one response often brings back functionality. I've been wondering about the screen protector and whether that gets old or something. Are you using a screen protector?
No, I don't have a screen protector on it. It is in a Logitech keyboard case. Do you use a case?

tab s 10.5 touchscreen unresponsive
I am having the same problem with my tab. At seemingly random moments my touchscreen becomes unresponsive. The home button works but nothing on screen is responsive until I hit the power button, putting it to sleep briefly and then hitting it again to wake it up. At that point the touchscreen becomes responsive again.
I sure hope someone finds a solution.I love my tab but this is a bummer.
Content screen unresponsive
The content screen has suddenly become unresponsive, none of the windows will open or refresh. The other home screens are working, just not the content screen. Any suggestions please?
What firmware are you guy`s using, are you still on stock 4.4.2 or on stock 5.0.2 or something custom.
John.
Hi John
I'm using 5.0.2. I've tried restarting and a soft reset and the other screens/apps work fine, just the content screen.
Jill
I had a search for Samsung touchscreen problems, most were down to the touchscreen connector coming loose due to a drop or flexing of the case, a hard reset sometimes works, a battery pull sometimes works, somebody said he flashed to another firmware and that fixed the problem, but if you are on the stock firmware that cannot be the problem, or is it the new 5.0.2 firmware?
Have you tried a touchscreen tester app ???

John.
It's a pretty new tablet so I guess it's the new 5.0.2 firmware. It's only unresponsive on the content screen so it seems like it's to do with that software - would you think. I don't know how to get at that though. It's Samsung thing and there are no settings for it, it's a bit like blinkfeed on an HTC only it doesn't work!
But thanks for the link, I'll try a touchscreen app anyway. A screenshot is attached hopefully.
Thanks for your help.
Ok, a list of owners affected and tablet models and firmware version, can you give your details so we can get some pattern?
golden422 - 10.5" - need firmware version
mlg250 - 8.4" - need firmware version
dbarkett - 10.5" - need firmware version
jgordon5 - 8.4" T700 - v5.0.2
Galaxy tab s SM-T700 8.4 v5.0.2
Thanks.
Strangely enough i installed nova launcher, didn't like it so uninstalled it and then the content screens started working and are now responsive!
I have the same problem with my SM-T807, running 5.0.2
Any luck on finding a fix?
My touchscreen was only not working on the two home screens where you choose your own widgets. I installed a different launcher, didn't like it and so uninstalled it and then very strangely those two home screens became responsive. Weird!
