Stuck in Landscape mode after leaving YouTube - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I'm having an issue (small issue) where after I get done watching a video on YouTube my phone gets stuck in landscape mode. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or is it just me?
If I reset my phone it works fine for a while but then eventually the problem happens again.

What happens when you toggle portrait mode? Are you using live wallpaper? ?

It corrects itself when I manually toggle portrait mode but it's annoying to have to do that every time when it's supposed to do it on it's on. It's a small annoyance and not that big of a deal honestly. I was just curious if anyone else was having that issue.
I am not using a live wallpaper I'm just using a regular one.

Gotchya. Well, I'd start by cleaning out cache and data from the YouTube app, and remove any YouTube themes for starters. If that doesn't work, then it may be a sensor issue.

it only happens to me when I am playing content inside the web browser and only from certain sites. nba.com does it quite a bit for me.
Any video in an app works great, video stored on the device works great.
No idea why, I assumed that it had to do with support for flash or some such funny business.

this is a good point and video seems to work on Dolphin for me. Chrome has been the problem for me.
if you go to settings>developer options and click disable hw overlays it will fix the problem. but you have to disable it after every reboot is the bad part.

Was going to say the same thing, it's a JellBean thing. Option wasn't even there on ICS.

[Q] auto rotation

Good day all,
I have a problem with my nexus 7 (2013)'s auto rotation .It suddenly stopped for no reason. is there a solution for this problem and if I put a custom Rom does it fix this thing??
Please Help
Thanks
Settings / accessibility /auto rotate screen is it checked?
Does it happen everywhere, even in apps? I would check the settings first and maybe try a cold-boot and then a reset on the device.

it does not work even in the games. it doesn't rotate unless an app designed for vertical or horizontal .
I did I factory reset and it didn't work. If you have something tell me what to do please.
Thank you

I had this problem as well a few days ago. What I did (which seemed to fix it) was I went in recovery and wiped my dalvic cache. 3 days since and only time will tell if this is a permanent solution.:fingers-crossed:
Yesterday I had also a rotation problem:
When I set autorotation to "off“, it always went to landscape mode, regardless in which position it was atm. It was absolutely not possible to lock the screen rotation in portrait mode.
After a reboot all was back to normal - strange though!

mine just got the same problem since yesterday! really need help
My rotation isn't working nor is the gyroscope. Started on stock UN rooted , then I rooted it and flashed kangabean and now the latest official CM build and it isn't working on any of those either. I'm thinking mine is hardware and not software related

We'll turns out that my other nexus 7 tab that I got for my mother is having the same issues with the accelerometer and gyroscope like I am. So I am going to be taking both back to bestbuy and either exchanging them or returning them.

Screen goes black watching videos.

So, brand new thing I have ran into recently is that no matter what app I use when I turn the phone horizontal the screen goes black and I can't see the video. Any tips to fix this? I am rooted with xposed.
Is there a screen protector or cover possibly causing this issue?
Have you restarted? (Had a similar issue and restart fixed it)
Sincerely,
ASUS_USA
There is at least one other thread about this. Try the search to see if they found a fix. I had something similar, but only with mp4 files, no matter which app I used. Partial or completely black screen, but the sound was fine. It went away for me with the last firmware update.
No case on there for me.
Hi,
I encountered this problem and have a thread on this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/video-playback-issue-ze550ml-2-18-40-7-t3139304). Basically, I had to perform a factory reset in order to fix it. Hope it helps.
Cheers.
Hi, did you managed to fix the problem and how if you did?
I have already performed factory reset with the last update 9/7/15 but still have the same problem.
Is it video files or does this also happen with YouTube and other streaming apps?
Just videos, camera videos that I took and others, Youtube works normaly

Asus Splendid was the problem, it was disabled and after enabling and updating it works normally.
If someone have the same problem ...
Video turns black - unfreeze Splendit and autostart

Thanks a lot. That safed me hours of searching! I was just starting to think about the videocodec and all other things I changed..... Would have led me in the wrong direction.....

youtube app freezing issue while exit?

So i havent unlocked my bootloader yet.
And havent had any hardware or phone issues but with the youtube app when i tend to close it down the screen simply freezes and it takes a while to get back normal or a quick reboot helps.. Its actually everytime and doesnt happen elsewhere.. Not even in games.
Anybody facing the same problem or is it just me? I suspect cz of the new aspect ratio youtube is having problems properly rendering with the new screen though..
Let me know anyone with the same issue..
Edit : Problem solved turns out after getting youtube updated and then clearing cache it works normally now.

Having a real hard time with the camera. It gets laggy at random intervals. Specially problematic with 3rd party apps (whatsapp; Instagram; snapchat). Seems like a software issue. But I maybe wrong.
