So I have a very annoying issue and wondering if anyone else does. I have auto rotate on. If I am on a phone call and hang up it screws p the auto rotate feature and everything is sideways. Only way to fix is turn auto rotate off/on again.
Anyone else have this issue? I did update to the November OTA and still is there. About to factory reset unless someone else found a trick to fix it.

i have an auto rotate issue where if i use the phone in landscape mode for too long (1-2 minutes), the screen "snap" back to portrait and back to landscape. watching videos in landscape is annoying. recording in landscape will cause the video to stop recording when the snap occurs.
i use a third party app called "set orientation" to force it to landscape when i need to, and that solved my issue.
try this app and see if it works for you (it's free)
I have this issue on both on my pixel 2 xls
That's strange, I actually had an issue where I couldn't turn auto rotate off. Well, I could turn it off, but locking and unlocking the phone would turn it back on. Every single time. Until I installed the November OTA. Seems all better now.
My auto rotate shuts off by itself, have to switch back on frequently

Hi, I have a very weird problem with my N7100. When I put my finger or anything in front of my front camera, the toggle bar will disappear and the screen will be still and no response. This is really bothering especially when I am playing games. Cause I swipe my finger in front of my front camera unpurposely and the game will be interrupted. It looks like the front camera is active to detect anything in front it, and if there is any thing blocking front camera, the screen will be frozen up!
This problem start with my official system (Samsung Touchwiz) comes with N7100. So I rooted my phone and put alliencerom there, it comes back again....If you restart the system, it goes away for a while and will come back sometime. Really bothering, I have found out what is the trigger, I believe there is a trigger though.
So I don't know any N7100 user encountered the same problem? And any idea about getting rid of it?
Thanks so much!
Are Smart Stay/Smart Rotate and all the motion stuff turned off? If not try turning them off.

I checked all those and they are off, I actually never turned them on. Today I found that after I use groove ip make a phone call. The problem will come up. I don't know exactly how.....
I test it a little and I found it is the function of Groove IP which freeze the screen when you are making a call. But somehow after you done with your call, the front camera just keeps doing so. I think there is something with screen rotation during the call.
Now I think problem solved by checking off "auto rotate" in Groove ip setting.
Thanks, XDAer.
Screen always auto rotates even though the auto rotation option is disabled.
Problem started randomly today when I was on Purity's 09/08 build for almost a month, so I upgraded to 10/08 build just to see if it would fix anything. It didn't.
Only thing I can thing of is some app that is overriding this setting. But, I can't think of any that would do this.
Any ideas?
Has anyone else had a screen rotation issue on their Note 4?
In almost all apps, rotating from portrait to landscape or landscape to portrait has a very long delay. Usually at least 10 seconds, and sometimes not at all unless I tap the phone on a hard surface, and then it rotates.
That might suggest a sensor problem, except for 2 things that do work:
1) In camera mode, the buttons rotate instantly when I rotate the phone
2) In GPS status, which indicates phone orientation, it registers the screen rotation as roll in the pitch/roll display, although the GPS status screen does not rotate correctly either.
These seem to confirm that the actual sensor is working ok.
I've tried safe mode, clearing cache, closing all open apps. Nothing changes in the behavior. I also tried turning off SmartStay, and changing display mode.
Some hits I found suggested turning off "smart screen rotation" on the S5, but that setting doesn't seem to exist on the Note 4.
Has anyone had this problem and found a solution?

This is like a dead giveaway for a hardware problem.
Wow, 10 seconds is a looooonnnggg time for a screen rotation. I've never experienced this on my Note 4, so the only thing I can think of is talking to your carrier or Samsung themselves to ask about it. Sounds like a hardware failure to me.
Yeah, that does make it seem like a hardware problem. But like I said, the camera buttons rotate instantly every single time, with zero lag. That would seem to say the hardware is working, unless the camera uses a different sensor for rotation than the rest of the UI.
Also, my wife has the same issue with her Note 4. We got them at the same time, so maybe it's a problem with that batch.
Since we both have it, it seemed like it could be caused by some app we both have, but I thought booting in Safe Mode would eliminate that, as only stock apps run in Safe Mode.
I guess I could wipe the device completely and see if it resolves. If not, I'll take it in as a hardware problem.
After a full wipe and cache clear, it still has the same problem. I called Verizon, and they are shipping out a replacement phone.

Hi!
My Desire Eye's home screen has been rotating whenever I slightly tilt it since this morning and no, the Auto Rotation mode is not enabled. I did a soft reset but still the screen keeps rotating, and I can't find any solutions for it anywhere.
Usually, when Auto Rotate is ON it rotates almost every apps' screens but never the home screen or menu screen. When I woke up today somehow the Car mode was turned ON, but I exited it without doing anything else. I wonder if it caused something to change in my phone.
Does anyone know how to fix this? You'd save a life. :crying:

Yes, I'm sure.
Is anyone else experiencing their camera app no longer functioning? I can't open the app without it closing immediately. I'm on stock ROM and first started to experience this last night out of the blue while using cR Droid. I haven't done anything to cause this type of behavior, so I'm not sure if the latest version is just buggy. I've tried uninstalling updates and reinstalling but I still have the same problem.

it just closes? or shows a blank screen? (you checked camera access is enabled in QS).
Go to play store and hit uninstall on the camera (it'll revert the camera back to the default version the phone came with).
Also try the camera in another app (it doesn't use gcam but the camera api). Also try gcam in safe mode..
Ok, so I figured out what the issue was. I had forgotten I had the quick tile "sensors off" enabled for the entire system, which was causing the app to dismiss itself upon opening.
It didn't appear to ever "crash" because it started out OK for half a second, then it would close. I tried 3rd party apps and the camera wouldn't work either.
I have sensors disabled because my phone's screen is constantly turning itself on when I'm in my car due to movement (which is about 8 hrs of my day), which causes it to hardly ever enter deep sleep or doze because it's constantly waking up, which increases battery drain. I don't have lift to wake, only tap to check my screen for notifications.
If anyone knows of a better way to help my display from turning on due to slight movements I'd appreciate it. I tried using "Naptime" app but that didn't seem to disable motion from turning my screen on. It did at first but idk why it stopped working.
Sorry for the post!

Tasker/Automate script to detect when you're connected to your car's particular Bluetooth (assuming it has that), and when so, turn sensors off, and when not connected to your car's Bluetooth, then turn sensors on.
