[Q] Auto-rotate not working on apps - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

what's up guys so i recently rooted my phone and flashed the latest cm7 (7.0.2). i couldn't help but to notice that my auto-rotate does not work on apps. i.e. web browser, txting, etc. It DOES rotate when i slide the keyboard out, but it's stuck on portrait if i don't have the keyboard out. I've tried ticking an unticking various things such as auto-rotate, being able to rotate an additional 180 degrees..nothing seems to make it work. does anyone have a clue of what's wrong?? (f.y.i, i've tried reflashing the rom couple of times and also flashing cm nightly, wiping the cache, wiping data/reset, but still no progress). if anyone has encountered this problem, or might have a solution, that would be great ! it's starting to irritate me..so any help would be much appreciated. thanks for stopping by.

so i tried flashing a different rom (gingervillain 1.5) like you said..and it's still not working.....any other suggestions? should i unroot and root my phone again? would that cause any harm?

This has been happening occasionally on my G2 while running the stock deodexed ROM, and the only way I've known to fix it is to run "fix permissions" in CWM. I've also deleted the cache and dalvik cache as well, just to be safe, and these have fixed the problem for me. I'm not sure if it's related to the ROM or any of the apps I have installed, but I'm getting more & more concerned that it could be that my accelerometer slowly dying. Not sure.
I really hope that helps fix your problem.

ok so i tried to do your method, and it still doesnt work... i'm kind of bummed because i barely got a replacement on this phone..and its hard to believe that the accelerometer would be dying on mine because i just got it replaced like few weeks ago..i really don't know what the problem is

[Q] Intermittent Data

I have never had this issue with any roms before.
I had been running Fresh Rom 3.1.0.2 or whatever, and recently upgraded to Fresh Rom 3.2
I made sure to wipe everything before installing this rom and now i have weird data issues no matter what rom i use
data works randomly no matter what signal strength i have with the market, signing into google, etc. ( i get network error messages loading market things saying i need to retry even though my browser works )
I have cleared everything many times trying different roms and updating my PRL and Profile also.
Most of the time my data arrows only show uploading too.
I am thinking about going and RUU to 2.1 or whatever and re rooting but which do i use? the PC36IMG.zip or RUU something? a little confused here.
i just wanna go back to stock everything to wipe everything and start fresh to make sure everything is fine.
Thanks!!
I've been having the same issue. A hard reset has fixed the problem, for today at least.

as far as hard reset, what are you referring to? powering off and pulling the battery? or what?
thanks!
I have been having the same issues. I just used the newest rooting method for 2.2 the other day. My web browsing and email pushes are fine but anything related to google (market, maps, signing in) fail out. I just tried wiping cache and it seems to work for now. It is extremely annoying.

Having camera problems with CM 6.1.2

I justest loaded CM 6.1.2 on my HTC evo and now every time i try to use my camera it freezes and has to force close. Any idea's? I'm new at this whole phone moding thing, so if I left out any important info just tell me. I had someone who is more experienced help me root my phone and load the rom so I don't think I messed up anything there.
Hmmm...that's strange.....I had the CM on my phone, and didn't experience any camera issues. Are you using a custom kernel?
Have you tried clearing the data and cache from the camera and then opening the camera back up? (Settings/Applications/Manage Apps/Camera) This has helped others on certain roms. Not sure on CM though.
Also, agreed with the kernel thing from filmaker. Sometimes that will do it. Try a different one.
Good luck!
I'll try that, thanks. I loaded a different rom on my phone and I'm having some problems with it, I'll reload cm and try what you told me. As to the custom kernel question, I dont believe I do. I also read on the cm forum about CM6.1.2 having issues with the camera pm newer evos and they talked about a fix but I couldn't seem to find it.
Having sorta the same problem... I switched to CM6 and the camera is just buggie... It either wont take a picture, lags really bad or FC's... I've tried clearing the data out of it but that seems to have made it worse.... Any other idea people? Thanks
Oh, I'm runnin CM6 with a stock kernel... maybe try a different kernel? And if so, can I just flash a kernel without changin anything elese like radios and what not?
Well I reinstalled cm and the camera worked prefect for a while but its not working now. I tried what you said and it didn't work. I have the stock kernal as well.

hhhmm... that's prolly gonna be a deal breaker for me if I can't get it fixed... I use my phone camera quite a bit
Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvik between ROMs? How about system?
Well I know I wiped data, cache and dalvik... and I think I wiped system (If that's an option in to do from recovery then yeah I did)..
What recovery are you using and what rev? When I first tried CM6.1.2 I was using RomManger, which was using ClockWork 3.x.x.x recovery. I couldn't get CM6 to run for more than a day without having issues. I was able to switch to Amon_RA 2.2.1 and flash a few other ROMs which ran fine for days without any issues. I have since loaded up the EvoNonsense 4.3.1 ROM, which feels a lot like Cyanogen but still has Sense, so everything works (4G, HDMI, Camera/Camcorder, etc...). Anywho, not sure if using Amon_RA recovery will fix your Cyanogen issues or not but it may be worth a try. If that doesn't work out then you may want to try the EvoNonsense ROM.

MIUI problem

I have a problem with MIUI rom. Some days ago, my phone suddenly had FC, now, my phone run really slow and laggy... If I turn off the screen, my phone won't wake up, only four button in the bottom light up.
I wiped everything in CMW (system,data, and cache, also sd-card) but it doesn't work.
The fresh install had the same issues
I have this problem only with MIUI rom
any help
You probably need to provide more info on the issue. What version of MIUI are you running? Have you tried a fresh download of the ROM?

i have tried from 1.8.5 to 1.9.2.
it's very weird
this guy has the same problem with me, maybe he can explain better than me
http://forums.miui.us/showthread.php?3740-Display-won-t-wake-from-sleep
Hey guys, I flashed 1.819 yesterday and everything was going great. The ROM ran smoothly and I was having no issues at all. When I woke up the next morning my display would not turn back on. Every time I tried to turn on the display the soft lights would light up but the display remained unresponsive. The phone still seemed functional as I could hear e-mail and sms notifications coming through.
When I rebooted my phone it was abnormally slow.. mounting the sd card and syncing seemed like it was taking forever and the launcher was very jittery.. if I let my display time out it would not come back on and I'd be forced to pull the battery and try again.
I performed a full wipe through clockwork recovery (everything, including wiping system,data, and cache in 'mounts and usb') and reinstalled 1.819. The fresh install had the same issues.. if I let my display time out I wouldn't be able to turn it back on. I thought I was having some wonky hardware issue but after flashing my previous sense rom and everything is working perfectly.. so I'm pretty much scratching my head here. My phone was kickass for one day and became allergic to MIUI overnight!

Have you tried using a different kernal such as Tiamat or JD's Kernal?
May want to try that. I had good luck with Miui and Tiamat (ran it for a week)

Does this happen immediately after you flash? Or are you installing applications to get back to your preferred setup and then seeing the performance problems?
If it's the latter, I'd run the rom alone and see if it runs normally. Then install your applications individually until you encounter issues.

immediately after the flash. I don't install any other apps
since we are talking about MIUI issues. I am running the latest version of MIUI with the JDKernal.
The camera has color distortion lines when I take a picture. The picture comes out fine but when taking it the image shows the distortion. It did not do that before so I can only assume its something with the camera in the ROM.
Anyone else see this?

tenchu, your signature says you are not English or American. Are you running the MIUI.us ROM on your incredible 2 in English - and not another language?

[Q] Phone Randomly Bootlooping

I guess I posted this in the wrong forum last time...sorry
Hi guys, I'm running this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1485722 and I'm having one major issue....recurrent bootloops from no where. I'll often check my phone after it having been in my pocket, and it will be bootlooping. Or I'll be using an application and it will happen...phone freezes, starts bootlooping.
A battery pull fixes the loop, but it happens time and time again. I tried fixing permissions in CWM but that didn't fix it. I love the rom and want to use it, but its unreliability is such a flaw that I simply cannot.
Tl;dr: I like the rom, want to fix random bootloops. If this is not possible, do you have any suggestions on either similar roms, or straight up better ones with reliability?
Thanks

Again, did you try wiping and reflashing? Are you overclocked
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
I will wipe and reflash tonight, thanks for the tip... hopefully it works =D
I've been having the same problem. The odd thing is that it seemed to only happened to sense roms. I tried Mikrunny, TSMtrinity, TSMvanilla, and Sabotage. I full wiped before each flash and didnt overclock. After a few minutes it would randomly reboot. I got frustrated and restored an old MIUI backup and it hasn't rebooted since.
Working thus far...thanks guys!

[Q] Camera Flash Stopped Working

Anyone encountered camera flash stopped working suddenky in camera mode, flashlight app or other 3rd party app? I used to clear dalvik and cache n it was ok for awhile but now it totally stopped working. Will reflashing it and reformatting it bring back the flash? T705 user here btw.

Well let's find out if it is a software issue or hardware issue. Backup your current ROM, then wipe data, flash a new rom and see if it works. If it doesn't it's hardware issue.

i already reformat everything and reflash.... it was fine till one point it started again. what i did next, i tried to fix permission in TWRP and it works!!! i wonder which permission causes the flash to stop working.... i had to fix permissionb everytime it stopped working....
anyone knows any way of which i can actually see what or which thing that causes the break??
My Tab S (T700) wont flash too! Only rarely. I tried in complete darkness and no flash! Im prolly gonna end up registering for this site just to comment!
