My screen rotation is flipped when downgrading from Nougat to Marshmallow - Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an issue with my Z5 Premium Dual where when I run on Nougat 7.0 for some time and then try to clean ftf flash Marshmallow, the rotation of my screen is flipped in the opposite direction. If I want to turn my screen to the left, I would have to rotate the phone to the right and vice versa. The same goes for wanting to get back to portrait mode: I would have to lean the top of the phone away from me to get the correct portrait mode.
Any ideas?

Auto rotate problem

I have a problem with auto rotation. Somewhere between rooting (S off, eng S-off and super CID) and installing a CyanogenMod 6.1.3 I got a problem with a rotation on my DHD. If i enable auto rotate my phone goes in landscape in every single app (Messages, camera, menu...) and it's not coming back to portrait when I rotate the phone. If I disable it everything is in portrait even camera and gallery.
I have installed a sensor test 1.0 by Qualigon and I can see that in Orientation sensor, when I rotate the phone, only X is changing, Y=0 and Z=0 all the time.
I have tried calibration and nothing happened. It's the same.
Help please
Having the same problem.
Try clearing caches and fixing permissions in Clockwork recovery.
Worked for me...
I didn't see any followup on this reply. I am having what seems to be a similar problem with the auto rotation. When I start an application it will correctly present either in portrait or landscape.
When I start the application in portrait and then switch the phone to landscape, the screen's rotation will correctly switch to landscape - but switching it back to portrait will not change the screen's rotation.
When I start the application in landscape it will remain in landscape regardless of the phone's orientation. The only way to get to portrait is to close the application, and then restart the application when the phone is in portrait mode.
I installed an application to test the sensor. When holding the phone in portrait vertically, the values I am getting are: ~230, ~0, ~1. When holding in landscape vertically, the values I am getting are: ~120, ~33, ~33.
The wrong rotation behavior happens in all applications. I switched two ROMs already (Cognition 1.5.2 and MIUI) and nothing changed. I am pretty sure the problem is SW related because as I wrote the initial presentation is correct (meaning the initial orientation that I will get when starting an application is always correct).
I would appreciate help.
similar prob FK!!!!!
Same problem but all my sensors show pass via *#0*# sensor checks. Tried nordic i9505 I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar 4.4.2, then SIngapore I9505XXUFNBE_I9505OLBFNB3_I9505XXUFNBE_HOME.tar 4.4.2 all the fken same problem. Screen rotation all fine when I flash firmware, root, then flash CWM touch - everything good. Screen rotate works until the first reboot after all of this which might even be a day or 2 later. As soon as reboot phone, screen rotation dies and it is a huge pain in the arse. Sensors continue to say pass via *#0*#. Every few days i have to re-flash firmware, re-root, then re-CWM touch, no need to factory reset just those 3 steps. Has anyone got any solutions for this yet??

screen rotation no longer functional

Recently, my screen rotation stopped working. If I select screen rotation from the drop down menu it would flip the phone into portrait mode. I wanted it to be locked in landscape mode instead. I don't know how it happened and I'm still on stock Rom but rooted. Any ideas how to fix it?

Screen rotation?

I have rooted and debloated my note 14edition and everything was going along fine and one morning I started it up and now the screen rotation isn't working properly now. It starts in portrait mode always and when I unlock it, it only works in right/left portrait and regular landscape mode. It won't go upside down. Any thoughts? Thanks

Are you using Wanam Exposed, if so activate this feature from within the app.
Forgot all about Wanam. Thanks that worked.

Screen orientation

This is kind of a moot problem but here goes. I have the Samsung book cover and I use the day note feature. Up until a little bit ago when I opened the top it would display the day note in landscape mode. Now it always displays in portrait mode regardless of the tablet's orientation. I disabled the day note feature and the lock screen is being displayed in portrait mode regardless of orientation. After unlocking it will go to landscape mode. Is their any way to get the landscape orientation back on the lock screen or when using day note?
Check Setting in Xposed Modules

I noticed that your phone was rooted, so if you have Xposed Framework installed, a few modules have auto rotate disable as default. I am only offering this advice, because I ran across this same problem.
If you don't have xposed Framework or Modules installed, check to make sure auto rotate is enabled.

odd screen rotation behavior since lollipop

Right after I turn on the screen there is a slight stutter when I rotate the screen between portrait and landscape. It goes away after I use the tablet for a minute or so, but it sometimes comes back after I exit an app and happens every time I first turn on the screen. I'm using the OTA update not the flashed one, and I performed a factory reset already too.
I'm getting the same thing
Just flashed the official OTA and noticed that this showed up....
