[Q] [q] auto rotation is not working at all

So ever since I rooted and xposed kit kat, my nexus 7 has had this odd rotation bug. Mind you I only have gravitybox installed. If I leave my tablet in any orientation for about 10 minutes after a reboot, it will get stuck until I reboot again. This only started recently, and I haven't done much to remedy it because I don't want to deal with restoring all my stuff. Is there anything that might fix it short of this?

Same problem
I have been having the same issue since around the kitkat update. Exact same issue actually, can't figure out how to fix it. I've already factory reset and tried to install a different rom and nothing =(. Need to contact asus for warranty i think

Here also often the problem that screen rotation stops working. Which is very annoying for instance when using Flo before sleeptime while loading battery. In that scenario reverse portrait is needed.
When googling a few months ago before KitKat I found in Google Discussion Groups topics with a ridiculous amount of people with same problem starting from Jelly Bean 4.3 (I think). There it appears it is a often occuring Android bug on all Nexus devices. Even factory reset or reflashing firmware not helping. Apparently not fixed in KitKat.
But not fully informed and 100% shure further about this anymore now. Have to reinvestigate. But it is most cerainly not a hardware bug. Otherwise rotation would never work.
Most of the time in my case rotation stops only working for a little while since KK. However since about a week it rotation won't start working again for a long time like while using JB.
Tried lots of things which seemed to work and than later not. Such as shutdown and power on. Soft reset/hard reboot by long pressing power. Etc.
Probably I will now use same temperary solution as in JB. And hoop fix will come finally from Google. That means using a 3rd party rotation app from Play Store during moments Android rotation has stopped working. Not all those apps working though when Android's rotation itself stopped.

Camera frusturating problem

Hey guys,
I have a weired camera problem and I coudn't find anyway to fix it
The camera was working perfectly fine until one day It started being unresponsive sometimes and now I got to the point where it rarely responds!!!
When I open the camera sometimes it just shows black screen and I'm unable to do anything then after about 3 secs phone reboots and sometimes the camera app launches but the viewfinder is just black and sometimes it simply fc's!!!
I tried several camera apps (manul camera....) but in vain!
My first attempt to fix this was deleting data and cache for camera app! then I made a factory reset then I tried updating to android N DP4 and then I rolled back and in vain!!!
Once the camera srops working it will not work again until I reboot the phone and after I reboot it the camera will work for about 5 minutes to 1 hour then the problem starts showing!!!
Hope yo Guys can help me solve the issue I really like the phone and I don't wanna lose it!
Thx in advance!

Sounds like a hardware issue to me. I would send it in for warranty or repairs if possible.

Did you managed to get it fixed? I have the exact same issue. I think it first started happening after the latest security updates. I hope it's not hardware related, this phone just came back from lg repairs for faulty digitizer.

i got the same problem. i just try to install the final version of android 7.0 and hope the problem won't show again...
i'm anyway quite sure it's not a hardware problem, cause when the camera works it works great and shoots perfect photos and videos...i think it's the last security pack update which causes these problems, and maybe the solution will be the new security pack update, of september

I had the same issue, and I simply couldn't fix it by any means. It just started to happen after 3 months of use, and came out of nowhere.
I had to return it, luckily it was amazon......
Really weird.

B380 update breaks stock camera on RIO-L01 Dual SIM?

Hey everyone,
I've got the GX8 Dual SIM in Germany and there have been a couple of updates in the last few days. I just updated to RIO-L01C432B380 yesterday, and have found that the stock camera app won't capture photos. I've tried using the volume rocker, screen tap, smile to capture and nothing responds, front - back - or video. Interestingly, other camera apps work without issue. I've reset the data on the stock camera app, and tried to force stop, but it doesn't have an effect.
Has anyone else had this experience since updating?

I'm in Germany too, and upgraded to b380 myself, but I did a factory reset after installing the new update. I make it a habit to do so after every update, to prevent crashing apps or strange things going on.
I know most people hate doing a factory reset, but once in a while, it's the only true way to keep things running smoothly.

Pixel XL sensors stopped working, I think I know why

Hi, I never installed a custom OS into my Google Pixel XL, I have android 10 stock, without root, just the clean original OS.
Since september 2021, my sensors stopped working, and they work only for some seconds when you reboot the device, or they work perfectly if you start the device in safe mode, so I figured out that the issue was with one app and not with the OS.
After a lot of tests, hard resets, etc... I finally disscovered that the issue is with the official "Google" app. If I uninstall the updates of that app and use the default "Google" app without updates, the sensors starts working again, and if I install again the updates of that app, all the sensors stops.
Please guys, if you have this problem, can you check if you can solve the issue also uninstalling "Google" app updates?

Hi, I run the official lineage 17.1 custom rom and have been having sensors issues for around the same timeframe. I've just disabled the google app, and my sensors are working after a reboot. Enabling the google app breaks sensors.
I don't use the google app, so will try running with it disabled.
Thanks!

Thank you cyber180
Update on this: since today, it's working with the google app updated, I'm not sure if they have launched a minor silent update which has solved their issue. Not all updates requires a major update from google play. Or maybe it's a temporary thing and later will fail again.
I sent a commentary from inside the google app some days ago telling about the issue, I hope they have solved it, but if not, we always can delete the updates of the Google app until they solve it.
UPDATE: yesterday after a new update, again the google app broked sensors, after uninstalling updates sensors started working again.... omg google what are you doing.

Thanks for the tip, the same issue is present on my old Pixel XL on stock unrooted ROM too. I realised that my screen brightness stopped adjusting automatically some time back but didnt know that all sensors were affected since it's not my daily driver. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Google app updates helped restore the sensors. Hope that it stays that way, if not i'll just uninstall the updates again.

I can confirm that disabling the Google app solves the sensors error. Thank you very much for the tip! It would be interesting to try the Google Go app instead of the full Google app. I'll be attentive to any news.

problem persists, after a new update of the google app, the sensors are broken again, uninstalling updates, makes the sensors work again

Confirmed, this pixel sensor problem is related to Google app.
I just disabled the app, reboot and everything is good. I enabled the Google app back and everything still good.
Thanks for the tip .

Thank you very much, my phone sensor is now working properly. In addition, for me, disabling the Physical Activity permission of the Google app allows the sensor to work normally.
非常感谢，我的手机传感器现在正常工作了。另外，对于我来说，禁用Google应用的Physical Activity权限就可以让传感器正常工作了。

Question Pixel 6 Random Freezes & Rebooting

I am facing random freezing and reeboting issue with my pixel 6. It happens more than 7/8 times a day. Very annoying and Google is not responding to this issue. There are many similar complains like this in Google forum and there is no proper reply from Google. December update didn't fix the issue. Is it hardware issue or software? Help please.

Tried a factory reset? Are you rooted? Are you able to unlock the bootloader? If so, try flashing the full firmware image or Official Google Android Flash Tool.
If none of that helps, I'd exchange it with Google for a new replacement. Good luck!

Its a known bug https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gboard-intermittent-freeze.4377931

My one freezes randomly and not specifically for any reason or for any apps.

Do you have the december update installed? Try to disable all your Accessibility Services from the settings.
[Update: A fix is coming] Google Pixel 6 owners are facing an annoying screen freezing issue
If you own a Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro and are affected by the screen freezing bug, there’s a temporary workaround to resolve the issue.

Random rebooting seems to be a "common" Pixel 6 problem. Most were only able to fix it by getting a new device from Google, some were able to fix it with a factory reset.
Strangely enough, I had the same problems on my first Pixel 6 - then I got a replacement model, got the backup from my old phone (p4 xl) going (again) and never had any reboot problems. Then a couple days ago I rooted my Pixel 3 and transfered my files over from my main Pixel 6 Pro and got the same reboot problem on my Pixel 3 now (~about every 10 minutes of active usage). I found out that it's probably connected to the fingerprint scanner, since about every third time that I use the FP on my P3, the phone reboots. I'll probably try a factory reset on my P3, since I know that the phone worked without issue before. It was probably an unwise idea to get a backup from my P6 going, but then again, F*** Google for not giving us a decent file transfer system. If the only way to get a functioning product is to get a replacement or start with a clean slate, that's a joke in 2021.
That tells me that it's a software issue, but since it's hard to pinpoint/replicate and at least with some P6 Pro users even a factory reset was not able to help, you might have to get a replacement model.

Even vibration?

I wondered that as well. I also turn off animations. The phone switches screens faster and the fingerprint scanner works better sans animations.

May be a coincidence but.....
I have never had this problem until today.
I usually have animations off. Set them to 0.5 today and my phone froze twice.
I've turned animations off again.
(I also have accessibility services off and have not changed that)
