What's up, my note 5 has been failing auto rotation for 2 or 3 weeks ago, but where I have only noticed it, is on Youtube and on the camera and gcam apks. I saw a solution in Miui forums, that they proposed to enter the engineering settings, and reset the gyroscope. When I do it works fine for a few hours, but then it fails again. In other applications it works perfect. My system is Xiaomi.eu v11 stable.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: after rebooting the phone, auto rotation works again, but fails after some time.

So I'm having a pretty weird problem with my phone. Auto rotate is not working pretty much system wide. The screen won't rotate in the browser, YouTube messaging app, or for nova launcher
Interestingly enough, the only place rotation seems to work is in the camera app, which changes orientation without a problem. Games like temple run which use the gyroscope also work fine, so I suspect this isn't a hardware issue.
I'm running cm10, have wiped and did a clean install and still have the same problem. I have also tried flashing a touchwiz rom and auto rotate was not working on that rom either.
Anyone have any idea what might be going on?
not sure what the problem is but im having a problem with the auto rotate not working in the gallery app and im looking for a fix everything else is rotating just fine and ive attempted to recalibrate the gyroscope but have had no luck with it correcting my issue so you aint the only 1 out there with a minor migraine.

My 2013 Nexus 7's auto rotation suddenly stopped working last Tuesday within the space of about 10 or 20 seconds. I rotated to portrait from landscape to read an article, then tried to rotate back to landscape for a different article but was not able to do so. I didn't do anything else at all in between the two articles.
My auto rotation is stuck in portrait, but is not locked in quick settings, and my ROM settings enable auto rotation for 0, 90 & 270 degrees. I've tried wiping dalvik & cache, wiping to factory defaults and even completely wiping the entire device storage then re-installing the original, non-rooted stock ROM. The problem is the same booted in safe mode.
I've tried the "Ultimate Rotation" app from the Play Store. I've tested different non-stock AOSP and AOKP ROMs (slim, infamous and plain vanilla; all from clean, full wipe installs) . I've tried Nova, Apex and stock launchers. Nothing has worked so far, though I can manually change and lock it to forced landscape or portrait mode using the Ultimate Rotate app.
The Google group for Nexus devices is a vacuum in terms of any help or real answers to the numerous posts about the exact same problem from Google.
As an initial troubleshooting step, does your gyroscope work in other apps, like games?
Nope. Totally dead.
same problem

Hi, I've the same problem.. i though it could be the xposed framework but i restored it and nothing change.
The problem persists in safe mode
Any ideas?
since last night my phone will not rotate. i have tried to switch on and off auto rotate but nothing. also tried removing the battery and turning on still nothing. then i tried the dial code *#0*# and went to "sensors" and all the values were at zero like they were not responding. the only thing that seems to work is auto brightness. i can also use air view but that is it. this all started when i was watching a movie i was getting lag then noticed that the phone would not with orentations. i noticed that evilart1 released wicked rom v5 last night so i downloaded and flashed that thinking that would fix my problems. so now I'm on wicked rom v5 still same problem please help i don't know what to do i have had my note 3 since the release date i ended up doing a customer exchange on my 13th day and have had this device since then. any help would be great thanks.
I have used android O developer preview and downgraded to android 7.1.2 nut now motion sensor is not working.
How to fix the problem
My Nexus 5x was on the DP2 for almost 2 weeks (very satisfied with it), but after updating some apps on Saturday evening i was in a bootloop. Remedied, after updating again my 50+ apps (including Google apps) again bootloop. So i opted out of beta, and am back on 7.12. All radio fine, but sensors not working. I did a factory reset and everything is working fine.
factory reset fixes
Hi this exact situation happened to me only a day earlier. So happy to find this forum post. The factory reset fixed the issue for me too.
Dang, I was hoping there to be another solution then FSR.
Check to see if your Voicemail apps have anything to do with it. I had this problem and fixed it by disabling my voicemail app from shutting the screen when motion sensor is applicable.
Hi, I have nexus 2013 with Android 6.0.1, since this update and issue came all along and I don't know why!
My WiFi, is intermittent, it disconnects and reconnects all the time
All my other sensors are not working anymore, like auto rotation and gyro
screen sometimes is not being responsive, unless I turn it off couple of times
is it a software issue or my unit is dud? it used to work perfectly for couple of years though.
Yup same here!
Ditto on the rotation working intermittently. Works for a minute after restarting then stops working until I reboot. My wifi is solid though.
I am having the exact same issues as OP, doesn't matter which rom/stock.

I'm in the same situation but I'm not using stock rom. I'm using a custom RR Nougat Rom for almost 2 years, everything was working nice until this happened. WIFI either stops entirely stops working or works intermittently, and auto rotate doesn't work. I downloaded a sensors app from play store to see if they were actually working or not, to my surprise it says no sensors detected. I panicked and did a hard reset, and then it stucks at bootloop (can't get past the four dots, may be the ROM can't find sensors). Flashed countless custom ROMS, stock rom (6.1, 5.0), but still no dice. But then when I was about to give up, I thought I would give the stock rom 4.3 a final try and magically, my nexus successfully boots up with all the sensors working perfectly. Then I re flashed the custom rom back to my device in which all the sensors are working fine (ORIENTATION, GYRO...).
So may be go back to STOCK ROM 4.3 and then see if the problem persists. I see a lot of 6.0 people are facing these issues.
Good luck!
