I dropped my G2 a while back and the screen cracked but still worked fine. I just got the digitizer replaced today, which I ordered on eBay and had installed locally. Everything works except for the auto-rotate function. Here is what I've tried:
Settings-->display-->auto-rotate screen is checked
I did a factory reset of the phone
The phone rotates to landscape mode ONLY when I use the keyboard
Any ideas?
Just throwing this out there but try going into Cyanogenmod settings>user interface> than scroll towards the buttoma nd see if 90 and 270 is checked. Might help and maybe try a game that uses the accelerometer to test if yours is broken? Not a expert on this kind of thing but just my advice to see if you track the source of the problem. And i am only assuming that you haev cyanogen
Thanks for the info, not rooted right now though.
Just went into Google Sky Maps and it doesnt rotate at all. Is there anywhere in settings to calibrate the accelerometer? Wondering if it's a problem with the new digitizer I got...
I've had a similar prob with 2 NIB G2's. It showed up after the OTA, Pre OTS, everything was fine, after, landscape only works with certain apps and games. I just live with it for now.
i'm bumping this. i am not rooted (yet) and have this same issue. wondering whether to do a factory reset or no...?
I purchased the Desire Z/G2 3 days ago now and I believe that the auto-rotate feature was first working on the home-screen. Now after 3 days it doesn't auto-rotate on the home-screen, but is fine with all other apps.
Is this a common problem as I feel to return the handset. I've already performed a hard reset but to no avail
Has anyone fixed this?

Desire Z or G2? The software is different, so you need to tell us which one you have.
If its the Desire Z, the Sense home screen does not auto-rotate (by design), and you are remembering it wrong (but it will rotate when you open the keyboard). Don't know about the G2, since I own the DZ.
Thanks Redpoint. I own the Desire Z, I managed to install an ADW theme and the auto-rotate feature seemed to work. So you are correct...wow my memory is alluding me.
Since I updated to flash 10.2 from the market a few days ago flash seems to register my screen touches in a higher position that I am actually touching. This is a big pain because all of the flash navigation in videos is usually at the bottom.
The touch alignment is fine throughout the rest of the phone and have I performed the Touch Calibration.
Anyone else having similar issues? I searched around with no luck.
I've been using unlocked international M8 for more than 5 months, and I've never had any problems.
Few days ago I updated it to 4.4.4, and everything worked perfectly. But today I've noticed some strange issuses.
1. Screen turns on by itself
2. Auto-rotation is off, but screen is still rotating in every angle (including 180). I can even rotate screen on lockscreen, home screen or app list.
3. I can't browse the web because pages are constantly refreshing them by themselfes.
Phone is fully stock, never rooted.
Anyone has similar problem? Or does anyone know why is this happening and how to solve it? Any help is appreciated.
Random bugs after an update can often be resolved by backing up your personal data and doing a factory reset.
I have been hard resting my phone over and over again, sometimes it fixes it but after 2-3 hours the proximity sensor and rotate stop working all together, I have been attempting to flash my phone because I think it's a software issue, this started randomly happening for no reason, I was on lolipop before but i decided to update my phone to see if it fixes the issue. I tried to recalibrate my rotate sensor but the option is not there when it stops working. I am on t-mobile and I have no warranty, i bought this device off ebay. My OS is marshmallow 6.0.0.
Is there a fix to this issue or something?

Hello everyone, I bought my lenovo p2 last year and it was all working fine but for the past couple of months I have been facing some problems with the fingerprint gesture. Whenever I use it, it works fine for a few minutes but gets unresponsive after a while and when I touch it, it doesn't respond and sometimes I have the drag to the right to get it working. Is there any way that I can fix this? Thanks.
Facing the same problem but I think it can be made right to some extend by deleting the fingerprints and re-registrating would fix it
Mine is the same case too. My fingers leave marks on the scanner making it think that i didn't lift my finger up. Had to wipe it off everytime before using. Started happening aftet leaving stock rom.
