I was originally in the Motorola Soak test for Android 8 for the Z2 Play and partway through the testing, rotation stopped working and I haven't been able to get it working again since then. I've tried unlocking the phone and downgrading, trying custom ROMs and finally updating the phone to Android 9. Nothing has fixed rotation. I've checked to see if rotation is enabled in the quick launch, making sure it's enabled at Allow Home Screen Rotation and making sure auto rotate screen is enabled as well. I can get the screen to rotate by using the rotation control app off the play store, although this resolution isn't ideal.
Diid my Z2 rotation just coincidentally decided to die during the soak test, or is it something else I've overlooked?
Thanks in advance!

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.
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.

So ever since I rooted and xposed kit kat, my nexus 7 has had this odd rotation bug. Mind you I only have gravitybox installed. If I leave my tablet in any orientation for about 10 minutes after a reboot, it will get stuck until I reboot again. This only started recently, and I haven't done much to remedy it because I don't want to deal with restoring all my stuff. Is there anything that might fix it short of this?
Same problem
I have been having the same issue since around the kitkat update. Exact same issue actually, can't figure out how to fix it. I've already factory reset and tried to install a different rom and nothing =(. Need to contact asus for warranty i think
Here also often the problem that screen rotation stops working. Which is very annoying for instance when using Flo before sleeptime while loading battery. In that scenario reverse portrait is needed.
When googling a few months ago before KitKat I found in Google Discussion Groups topics with a ridiculous amount of people with same problem starting from Jelly Bean 4.3 (I think). There it appears it is a often occuring Android bug on all Nexus devices. Even factory reset or reflashing firmware not helping. Apparently not fixed in KitKat.
But not fully informed and 100% shure further about this anymore now. Have to reinvestigate. But it is most cerainly not a hardware bug. Otherwise rotation would never work.
Most of the time in my case rotation stops only working for a little while since KK. However since about a week it rotation won't start working again for a long time like while using JB.
Tried lots of things which seemed to work and than later not. Such as shutdown and power on. Soft reset/hard reboot by long pressing power. Etc.
Probably I will now use same temperary solution as in JB. And hoop fix will come finally from Google. That means using a 3rd party rotation app from Play Store during moments Android rotation has stopped working. Not all those apps working though when Android's rotation itself stopped.

I installed hd widgets and use the tilt lock control button.
Even when I toggle the screen rotate button in quick settings or the display settings, the phone seems to be stuck in portrait view. Can't get landscape view to after ever since I update from 4.3 to 4.4.2. I've tried rebooting multiple times.
I have the official TW ROM (albeit rooted with CF).
Anyone experiencing this same issue?
Solved
FYI, After some research I found a solution.
The issue has to do with deleting Samsung Hub app (instead of just freezing), which seems to break screen rotation. I copied the steps in the link below to copy libgnustl_shared.so into system/lib, set permissions, and reboot.
BAM! Screen rotation now works.

Hello everyone, recently ive been having screen rotation issues.
At first i believed it was a hardware issue, but since a simple reboot would get it working aging i ruled it out.
I Reset the device (Factory Reset) and orientation was working fine for few weeks even with nova launcher.
Recently it started to act up again, so disabled Nova with titanium, uninstalled all root apps and switched to Google launcher.
i Let it sit for the night (on) and in the morning no rotation issues showed, once i enabled Nova and let it sit for a few hours rotation stopped again
Has anyone had similar issues with 5.0/5.0.1?
Anyone?
