Annoying screen rotation on OnePlus 5T - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

Hello everyone
I don't always post on XDA i am kinda lurker. Forgive me if i make mistakes. I have oneplus 5t and there is this annoying screen rotation bug that keeps auto rotating though i locked it to portrate, it is not in all apps but some like chrome, gallery, mx player, vidmate, drive and some others. At first i thought it was my phone, restored it to factory defaults and clean installed with OOS 5.1.0 but nothing has changed then i checked my friend's oneplus 5t and it is the same. I think this is a universal oneplus 5t problem. Is there any way to fix this or a 3rd party app that can control screen rotation?

I dont know about the other apps, but mx follows its own rules when it comes to rotation, you should choose the rotation rules in mx settings, to only rotate with system rotation.

I was having the same issue with 5.1.0, I thought I was going mad. I had turned off auto-rotate and phone would be locked and still always turn on in landscape mode. The problem seems to be gone in the latest 5.1.1. update though. I'm assuming your on stock, because that's the only build that was giving me the problem.

Yes i am on stock 5.0.1 and thank you i will update to 5.1.1

Hi I have the same problem. The problem "appeared" when i updated to a crdroid version with the treble update and the new vendor partiton, i was already on a non-stock rom. I also tried to install stock rom but the problem persist. I attach some screenshot of the accelerometer value and based on what I found on internet it seems that the axis X and Y are inverted

[Q] nusense six 7.1 camera no portrait m7vzw

As noted.
I can't post ditectly to the Dev thread, so this is the place to start.
Using the 7.1 Nusense six with the upgraded firmware. My camera works in landscape but doesn't in portrait. Hopefully this post gets noticed.
Thanks for any help.
What recovery and firmware are you using? I use TWRP 2.7.0.8 and on latest firmware (4.10.x.x) with no issues on nusense
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Same twrp & firmware.
I turn the camera on in landscape, rotate it to portrait and the screen goes black.

Sounds like you aren't really on the latest firmware.
I'd reflash the latest firmware again.
I reflashed 4.10.605.3 a second time, wiped cache & delvik with no changes, the problem still occurs. The camera doesn't work in portrait.
Thanks for the help.

Does your screen rotate in other apps?
Like in Messaging, if you turn the device, does the screen rotate?
There is a lib responsible for this, but you seem to be the only one with the issue on that rom, so I see no need to post an older lib for just one device.
Trying to figure out if you are having hardware issues or what.
Everything else seems fine.
Phone, gallery, messaging seem to be fine. Just the camera is being sketchy. The screen rotates to portrait then goes black, bring it back to landscape and it comes back.
To comment further regarding the cameras ability to go either way. I wiped the nusense six 7.1 and recovered GPE Plus 4.4.4 and the camera is functioning as it should. The camera seems to be fine in GPE Plus 4.4.4 but not nusense six 7.1.
Thanks again, I sent something to your coffee fund.
Did you dirty flash from the previous nusense to 7.1? If you did then that could possibly be the problem.

No, I flashed a full wipe.
Just a quick comment, with the newest version 7.4 I'm having the identical problem.
The 7.1 version has been so dependable with solid battery life this issue wasn't a ROM breaker for me. I was kind of hoping it would come around with this update.
Using Google Camera works right. Its the HTC camera that doesn't.
Maybe you have a hardware issue or something because the camera works perfectly in every mode no matter what position I hold the phone in.
How can I check for a hardware issue?

[Q] CyanogenMod for N3

As you know Cyanogen has released official CM12 nightly builds for Oppo N3 - http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=n3
Anyone tried it? What is working and what is not? Are the developers visit here? What to expect from future releases?

I have it on my N3. Fingerprint reader is the only thing that doesn't work. Haven't tried the O-click 2.0, but it is represented in the settings menu.
Which nightly are you using? 20120320 just boots to a black screen with only the statusbar visible and unresponsive, for me.
e: 20 and 19 have this bug. 20120318 seems to work so far, by which I mean I can actually start the initial setup process.
e2: Stock camera app seems buggy. First few times it wouldn't start, then it started working, but the second time you launch it it breaks the camera for all apps. Installing a third party camera app seems to fix it.
The way CM implements the rotating camera is nice though. It pretends the phone has two cameras, and when an app asks for the front camera (e.g. Skype) it'll rotate it for you and flip the image. Only downside is that manual rotation doesn't flip the image once you pass the half way mark.

I just flashed the March 23rd build. So far I've only had a few hours with it but it's running really smooth. Here's a few notes:
I was running a rooted chinese coloros rom and cm12 has fixed the issue with not being able to pick up 5Ghz wifi.
No issue with the defaul camera app or any others
The fingerprint sensor is still broken as well as the button
My proximity sensor is broken. I downloaded a toolbox and it's not detecting the promixity sesnor at all. I've read you can fix this by flashing the modem but I can;t seem to find them. I saw some posts about the 1+1 having the same issues with recent cm12 nightlies so I'll keep flashing nightlies until I go home for the weekend and I'll try to find the Chinese N5207 modem with the help of my fleunt in Chinese parents.

Sorry, I'm not sure which one was the latest nightly i was on, can't check either since I'm back on ColorOS on that device at the moment. But i think the latest i tried might have been somewhere around March 18:th.

I'm installing it now, just waiting for it to boot, though it seems to be taking forever, and I can't connect to adb for logcat.
Does it take > 30mins or so at first boot? Did you use CWM or TWRP recovery? Anything else that needed doing to get it to work?
TIA

So the 20150327 doesn't work for me at all. The 20150323 does, with the minor issues mentioned above.
Does anyone else see the VOOC charging not work? Any clues as to how to enable it?

Actually, I lied, the VOOC charging did work, but wierdly sometimes the light on the charger didn't come on (it still charged quickly).
I've just installed (without wipe) the 20150403 and that works a treat. Only visible change is that screen elements with not standard res'n are now centred rather than bottom-middle aligned.
Loving the CM12 ROM - even battery life isn't much reduced and Lollipop is a great upgrade.

So I had lots of suspends of death with recent cm12.1 nightlies, but it seems to have calmed down a bit now. Still takes a while for screen to come on after sleep though and reboots on resume maybe twice / three times a day - only when on battery.
No fingerprint support yet - doubt that'll be there until Android M as there's no native Android support for fingerprint sensors in L - Samsung devices have had the Samsung reader backported, so they're golden, but I don't think the OPO / Oppo will get this attention.
The other big gotcha is video - nothing working unless you can get the Oppo ColorOS camera working (I've not tried). Stills are fine though.
I've tried again to get the Oppo camera working, using some of the newer ports to the OPO.
Still no joy
xposed, gravitybox and nova launcher is making ColorOS pretty tolerable though.

[Q] How is your experience with Nougat so far?

Hello all,
As the title says, what is your opinion about Nougat? After reading so many bug related posts here and in reddit, im frustrated to update to the newest version of android. How does it compares to marsmalow in terms of battery, performance and bugs? Is it safe to update now, of do your suggest to wait a little longer for a bugfix update? And finally, if your suggest me to update, do your recomend any custom rom/ kernel?
Thanks in advance.
Fine, I love my 5X, but there are some bugs that I have:
*In Whatsapp audios or call if I put my face in the phone (or simple if I cover the distance sensor) the screen goes black and I can't turn on again...maybe if a press the power button 3 times the screen turns on. that is REALLY annoying!, I dont know if is a software problem or if my tempered glass is the real problem...
*The screen rotates very easy...sometimes I move my phone just a little and the screen rotates...
*When screen turns off it doesnt fade "slowly"...its something cosmetic but I dont like it haha

Hm, i dont use whatsapp so i dont mind if there is a bug about it. Do you have the same problem during calls too? Also, what about battery and performance?
I have these bugs:-
1. I have a problem with the battery percentage toggle, i change it to like "everytime" but sometimes it auto switches back to "only when charging", in 6.0.1 there was only an option to show percentage which worked fine.
2. I also have a problem after sep security update the swipe up from overview to open multiwindow doesnt work, it is on in the settings tho, it worked on the first 7.0 aug security one but now it doesnt.

This features disable automatically when you go to System ui tuner. Just enable it and don't touch this settings.
Also, I have a bug with double icon of alarm clock in status bar, like on screenshot. Reboot can fix it.

I recently reverted back to marshmallow, I was getting horrible battery drain. Like 10℅ an hr while in my pocket. I had to leave it on battery saver mode if I wasn't going to be near a charger. But besides that it's awesome, love all the new features.

For me, unlocking the device harder. I have to swipe further in order to do it, and it also happens when I want to swipe a notification at the lock screen.
In addition Spotify song playing from google now through an Android Wear does not work unless the Nexus is unlocked.
Finally, battery life is not really god in my case.
After reading your replies, i decided to stay in marsmalow for a couple of months. Thanks everyone
It's only been a couple days for me but everything is working well on the stock OTA update so far.
I like the new features and Doze is working brilliantly again so there is a noticable improvement to battery life.

Cropped out Instagram and WhatsApp story

My friend just bought a Redmi Note 5 Pro and it has a weird problem.
When viewing an instagram or Whatsapp story,it automatically gets cut in both sides vertically.
Maybe it's because of the 18:9 ratio but I haven't found anyone else with the same phone having same problem.
The device has the latest 9.2.7.0 MIUI version.
What's the cure here?

Yes it's because of the 18:9 display. I have the same problem too...
Too bad the Instagram developers are lazy and mark their app as optimized, yet aren't at all!
It's the same problem for even flagship-level phones with non 16:9 displays (such as S9, G6, etc)
The only way to solve it is to pray to God that these devs realized their mistake and fixed the matter.
Though I insist you (or your friend) opting for Instagram Beta, as it should receive new features and fixes faster.

Well that's surprising. I thought since mainstream phones like S8,s9,pixel now use 18:9 ratio, instagram must've added support for it like they did for Iphone X within months of its release.
I also wonder if there are any unofficial workaround for it :/
Go into settings--->fullscreen display (I'm translating from polish so it may a bit different) and find Instagram and force it to work with 18:9 ratio. I had similar issue with Worms 4. After forcing it from that menu to work in 18:9 everything is alright

S9 PIE Notification panel lag

Hey guys, is it just me or there's something wrong with my phone. The issue I found is that whenever you're using a non-infinity wallpaper, the notification panel, when dragged from the lock screen, is so laggy. I can confirm it is with the infinity wallpaper because I tried reformatting my phone and the problem is resolved, but then when I changed my wallpaper to any non-infinity wallpaper, even samsung's stock ones, the notification panel lags so much
I'm having the same exact issue after updating to pie today! It is really frustrating and I hope there's a fix for it.

I think we're the only one having this annoying bug
If you have not factory reset since updating to Pie, that will likely be why
I see this too with a static wallpaper. The first bit of travel (about the thickness of the status bar) is a bit bumpy. It's nice and smooth with an infinity wallpaper.

Found that the issue (using a photo taken on the phone as wallpaper) goes away when reducing the screen resolution to FHD+ from WQHD+
Also, only seeing lag from the lock screen - seems fine from the home screen (unlocked)

For my case, the frame drops are still in there after changing from WQHD to FHD, but they are noticeably lesser. And yeah, works fine in my home screen too.

Are you on CSA2? Because I have the build from December. Pie CRL1, I think there are better optimizations in the later build since changelist numbers are different. Will try flashing CSA2 once I finished downloading it, when it's still no luck, maybe try a hard reset then.
I'm still on the beta, but I've never experienced that problem.

Yep CSA2 but did not have the problem with any builds even betas
I have this exact same issue as well. It came up in the last beta and is still happening on the final software even after a factory reset.
