Screen rotation still broken - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

On official 4.4.2 and im not getting screen rotation?? On OG kernel, but custom rom. Is this the rom, kernel, or did I break it somehow?

I noticed the same thing happening to me , but I think is exposed framework , are you using that? I flashed a romantic a my rotation works once I install exposed then it breaks .

I think it's kitkat. i'm on stock rooted with the stock kernel i posted but still no rotation on the homescreen, but works on everything else.

Yea I'm trying. It's being stupid

I didn't know stock Touchwiz allowed landscape rotation without tweaks. Of course, that's usually one of the first thing I dump in favor of Nova or Apex anyway.

Yeah. Never heard of TW rotating on its own. There should be a mod and if don't work. It don't work. Having rotation on TW launcher suckss anyways

Wait... Are we talking rotation on the homescreen with no apps open? TouchWiz never did that. At least not stock out of the box. If were talking within apps then yes, it should rotate, if you have it enabled in the settings. Otherwise it will stay in portrait (or landscape) at all times.

I'm talking about apps and watching video. Rotation for TW can be done but that's a mod.

I am having the same issue with both the odin and flashable versions. It works for a while, but then stops working. Really annoying! I am not using the exposed framework or modules, purely stock. Are you removing any apps? That is the only thing I do, but nothing I know to be related.

I'm not sure if this is it, or my "fix" will help, but maybe when updating to KK the phone wasn't level, and the compass/gyroscope calibrated itself to be off center. I don't have any issues with rotation, but what I did when I updated was I opened Bubble Level, and noticed it wasn't "level", so I reset the calibrations for the entire phone, and then put it on a level surface, and re-calibrated it, and now when I open the app on a level surface it is spot on. Maybe give that a try. Here is the app I used.

It's funny because that app and the camera app rotate just fine, but nothing else does; not gallery, chrome or anything else I try that regularly rotates. It's definitely wanam or xposed, ran fine until I installed them.

I still have rotation issues. I found with youtube if you make it full screen it will automatically rotate, but you have to hold it all weird for it to stay in landscape lol.

I don't think is wanam or xposed. It must have something to do with an app that I am uninstalling with Titanium Backup. I am currently running Vision X N3 - Tmobile and have been doing some testing. If I uninstall my usual 60 apps that that include S Health and the related sensor app, my auto rotation will stop working. However, if i don't debloat then no issues. I have been running the bloated version for a day or so and rotation still works. I am going to try leaving S health and the related sensor app to see what happens. On 4.3 I would always remove both apps and never had an issue. Oh, and wanam and xposed are pre-installed on the rom. I don't use them, but they are pre-installed.
So, do you debloat, and if so; do you remove S health and its related sensor app?

Guys someone found it, check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644293

random Red flashing boarder on i747 after update over the air to 4.1

I just updated my phone yesterday, and im having two issues. The main issue is the flasshing red boarder around the entire screen the appears mostly when switching apps, going home, and turning on/off. It even happens during the boot-up.
Second, my keyboard is lagging. I have all of the "feedback" features turned off and it still does it. No 3rd party boards installed. I really like the new keyboard and I wont have some third party app developers recording every keystroke.
Any ideas?

I wasn't aware there even was on OTA update to 4.1.1. Far as I knew you could only do it through Kies. Maybe try redoing it through that? Or find the stock image on here and flash it through Odin.

Check the developer options. One of them is set to update when the screen draws. Just disable anything in there you don't need.

It was a dubuging feature turned on.
4.1 is available OTA for AT&T right now.
I dont know when it became available, but its really nice. I use adw pro launcher always on all my android devices so I dont get the full experience of 4.1. I really love what they did with the keyboard and the dropdown, but I really wish they kept the data switch there.
My battery life is not as good anymore though...
Anyway, let me know if its not available to you.

(Q) Super Slow Screen Rotation

I've noticed that if my screen goes off whilst in landscape orientation it takes a full 10 seconds to rotate to portrait. Idon't have any rotation apps or setting turned on so I'm thinking it's native TW issue. Has anyone seen this and/or found a fix?

Yep....I've seen it many times as I run TW based builds...
The only fix I've found is getting away from the stock stuff..
CM/AOKP/AOSP seem to have it fixed, and If we know where to look, I'm sure it's a setting we could change.....(maybe)
TW framework is big...and I have no idea where to start looking......g
I'm a little disappointed, I mean 10 seconds is flat out ridiculous. Everyone keeps saying that this is one of if not the fastest phone out there, but I'm greeted with this unusual issue that bugs the he'll out of me.

ah damn, ok. mine seems to be ok so far. i can live with the ocassional lag, i just can't stand it when it gets stuck in one orientation no matter what I do.
I saw this in another thread i think, but there is a market app called Adaptive Rotation Lock. I have it set to Force Auto, and my rotation seems to be about normal! At least i am definitely not getting stuck in one orientation anymore. The bad lag seems to be gone as well, i think. And even the lockscreen works in landscape lol.

[Q] Updated but touch screen off

Note 8 not rooted updated fine but now my touch screen is off (have to touch links below where they are) and Chrome cuts off the top of the screen. It was "suppose" to make it more stable...
Sounds like your image is offset in some way. What have you tried to resolve it so far? Reboot? Wipe cache?

Rebooted, of course. Wiped cache. But that's about all you can do. I thought there was a calibration process in Settings but, if there is, it eludes me. I can't even get the S-pen to calibrate. I suppose I could do a factory reset and start from scratch but its not worth the aggravation.

OK, that's more than just me with this problem. How about it, smart folks? Any ideas? Best I got was do a factory reset and hope for the best. Really don't want to have to re-setup my toy again.
I too hope for someone more clever than me to figure out a workaround. Until then, Firefox for Android looks and performs wonderfully on this tablet - in portrait or otherwise. Check it out!

Actually, I haven't been able to recreate this problem since I posted this. I'm wondering if it was caused by the cover I used to use which had a very strong magnet. I'm now using the Samsung light cover.
If I see it again I will post it, but so far so good, knock on wood.

I have a nonmagnetic cover so that's out. Too bad for me! Still with me.
Got another update Monday - not sure what it did but it was there - and it seemed to fix the issue for awhile. Now it's back the way it was. Oh well.
Gave up and went to Opera. Fixed all the problems so the issue was Chrome not working right.

[Q] (FIXED) Screen Rotation Reversed

Hey folks. I've mostly been a lurker around here for a number of years and never posted but I've recently encountered a problem I can't seem to fix on my own. Here's some basic info.
Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919)
Stock ROM (rooted)
Android 4.2.2
BB Version M919UVUAMDL
Kernel Version 3.4.0_562219
Recovery Clockwork Mod Touch
The problem I'm having is that I have to leave my phone with auto rotation off. If I turn it on, landscape and portrait rotations are 180 degrees off, flipped, upside down, etc etc. I've been searching high and low for some way to fix this and no dice! Please let me know what I can do. I have tried accelerometer recalibration and a few apps but I just can't get it to work right.I would like to avoid a re-wipe. I finally have everything just right. Wipes irritate the heck out of me because I guess Clockwork Recovery can't access backups on the external SD card? Ugh.
Problem: flipped screen, camera up side down, camera flipped, screen 180, screen upside down. Reverse portrait, reverse landscape.
Fix: Had bad kernel. Flashed to a newer ktoonz kernel and it fixed the problem.
BTW: I just realized that my camera is also in fact flipped 180. Sheesh. This is a royal pain.

Are you perhaps using a kernel not meant for tmobile? I ported roms for the galaxy s 3 and they always did that unless you used a kernel meant for your devicce.

Im not sure what lernel that is im sorry.just got my s4. But anyhow is it a custom kernel that you flashed? If so make sure you got it from a tmobile thread. Or if you would rather it maybe easier to flash a tmobile kernel such as ktoonz and see if that fixes the issue.

I am seeing the reversed auto rotation on my wife's GS4(SPH-L720) and it is stock unrooted. She has made no changes to anything! Camera and menu's are upside down. Web pages are upside down. She needs to keep auto-rotation off, just to use it! Others online with the same problem have been doing factory resets with no luck. One person did 3 or 4 factory resets and still has the same problem. My rooted GS4 is ok (so far) but hers (not rooted) is driving her nuts. She will never root hers (and would be angry with me if she knew mine was rooted). Any help at all would be appreciated.

If it is stock and unroofed the only explanation would be hardware IMO..... There isn't another explanation especially if a factory reset doesn't help it.

My MIUI experience. Pros/Cons

Well, I brought myself to removing my CM10.2 and trying the MIUI ROM. It was a very slick, very smooth ROM. I overall enjoyed it. But with it being a ROM of course it had a few minor bugs. And I did have a few dislikes. So I'm gonna list a few things I personally noticed about it. Fell free to post your thoughts and any resolutions to anything I'm gonna lay out.
PROS:
-a smooth, soft feeling touch that was full of color and a very nice setup. The was miui was set up in settings for example was on of a kind. I was not disappointed. The theme app that was there gave me full control of changing the status bar, lock screen, home screen, etc. You have full control of customization. WiFi also seemed to work just fine.
CONS:
- Sadly, my LTE didn't appear to work. I tried adjusting my setting to fix it. No avail and that kinda was frustrating. But with WiFi working it didn't pose to much of a issue. I also experienced to apps for my gallery, and I was unable to delete it because it was a system app. Some of the themes I downloaded froze my phone, causing me to remove my battery and restart my phone. I wasn't bothered by it to much, I'm rather used to having to do that with previous phone.
Over all if you like a fresh and fast ROM you will love MIUI. But with these few issues I went back to cm. As I need my LTE cause my phone is also a work phone and I need the fastest internet I can get. So feel free to post your thoughts on MIUI and any fixes. Because I would like to switch back and continue using MIUI.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
LTE works you just have to select it in settings when you first flash the rom because it doesn't default on. Reason there are 2 galleries is because MIUI has its own gallery and since we have to use 4.2 camera it comes with its only gallery also hide one in a folder if you dont like one. And theme issue I've never experienced this

I love the visual development compared to all other ROM.
Looks great.. but I'm still in love with AOSP.
Right out of the box, I think MIUI looks a lot like ios . Maybe too much.
It is a great ROM though, and very user-friendly.
Could I see a screen shot of the phone? Keypad, in call. These are things people over look, but this is our phone is it not? For most if not everyone on here, the only phone they use.
