I have a problem with auto rotation. Somewhere between rooting (S off, eng S-off and super CID) and installing a CyanogenMod 6.1.3 I got a problem with a rotation on my DHD. If i enable auto rotate my phone goes in landscape in every single app (Messages, camera, menu...) and it's not coming back to portrait when I rotate the phone. If I disable it everything is in portrait even camera and gallery.
I have installed a sensor test 1.0 by Qualigon and I can see that in Orientation sensor, when I rotate the phone, only X is changing, Y=0 and Z=0 all the time.
I have tried calibration and nothing happened. It's the same.
Help please
Having the same problem.
Try clearing caches and fixing permissions in Clockwork recovery.
Worked for me...
I didn't see any followup on this reply. I am having what seems to be a similar problem with the auto rotation. When I start an application it will correctly present either in portrait or landscape.
When I start the application in portrait and then switch the phone to landscape, the screen's rotation will correctly switch to landscape - but switching it back to portrait will not change the screen's rotation.
When I start the application in landscape it will remain in landscape regardless of the phone's orientation. The only way to get to portrait is to close the application, and then restart the application when the phone is in portrait mode.
I installed an application to test the sensor. When holding the phone in portrait vertically, the values I am getting are: ~230, ~0, ~1. When holding in landscape vertically, the values I am getting are: ~120, ~33, ~33.
The wrong rotation behavior happens in all applications. I switched two ROMs already (Cognition 1.5.2 and MIUI) and nothing changed. I am pretty sure the problem is SW related because as I wrote the initial presentation is correct (meaning the initial orientation that I will get when starting an application is always correct).
I would appreciate help.
similar prob FK!!!!!
Same problem but all my sensors show pass via *#0*# sensor checks. Tried nordic i9505 I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar 4.4.2, then SIngapore I9505XXUFNBE_I9505OLBFNB3_I9505XXUFNBE_HOME.tar 4.4.2 all the fken same problem. Screen rotation all fine when I flash firmware, root, then flash CWM touch - everything good. Screen rotate works until the first reboot after all of this which might even be a day or 2 later. As soon as reboot phone, screen rotation dies and it is a huge pain in the arse. Sensors continue to say pass via *#0*#. Every few days i have to re-flash firmware, re-root, then re-CWM touch, no need to factory reset just those 3 steps. Has anyone got any solutions for this yet??

Hello. Lately my screen rotation has been all buggy. Sometimes it won't rotate and other times it rotates, but gets stuck on landscape mode with no way to rotate back to portrait except for luck or a reboot. Any ideas?

I have rhe same problem at times but it doesnt happen too me that much..what rom are u running?
everytime i tried to watch a movie or play a game in landscape the screen always rotate 180 deg. anybody have a fix for this?
accelerometer stops working a few hours after a reboot.
That means auto rotation stops working.
This is very annoying because a lot of apps use it.
For example you think you are taking a landscape photo with the camera and then you end up having to edit the photo to rotate it in landscape mode because accelerometer stopped working and the photo was shot in portrait mode.
It is solved with a reboot but only lasts for some time.
I think the problem is that miui's stupid battery management puts the accelerometer to sleep or something.
(this is not an issue solved by turning the auto rotation toggle on and off in the quick settings.I write it so noone proposes such a solution)
I'm not sure what I did, but now Chrome is stuck in landscape whether it's on the front or inside screen. All other apps and the home screen rotate, but when I open Chrome, the app changes to landscape and refuses to switch to portrait. It will flip 180° and if I'm holding in portrait, the second I close Chrome, the home screen auto rotates to portrait.
I have played with the auto-rotate features and was looking around in the labs but still can't figure out why only Chrome is locked in landscape. I do remember setting Chrome to allow folded view, and have tried to disable any related settings.
Any help would be appreciated.
So I guess this was a bug and not a settings issue. I accidentally did a vertical split screen with another app while holding the phone in portrait and everything went back to normal.
