Ok so i have the JF 1.5 build and i just did the New easier, more reliable apps to SD setup. My phone ended up having to be wiped because of something else so i had to start from scratch, but now the bouncing rotate effect will not work at all. I have it enabled, but still nothing happens. does anyone have any suggestions?
It doesn't auto rotate on HOME screen. Settings, browsers, market, gallery..etc. auto rotate works fine
mine stopped auto rotating on all of them. Also, auto rotate did work on the home screen before i had to wipe my phone
i used to be able to do messaging in horizontal mode using the full onscreen keyboard, but not anymore

Did you enable it? In the new build it's disabled by default. try pressing menu at the home screen and going to settings->sound and display and make sure the orientation checkbox is checked
Marcus, your the freakin man!!!! I totally forgot about that one. I only switched it in Spareparts app. thanks a ton man
phone seems to be all good now

Good, trying to keep my method as free of problems as possible, whether real or perceived.

has anyone gotten autorotate to work on the new 1.5 firmware? I am running JF's build of ADP1.5 and haven't seen it working (thought it was supposed to be a new feature of 1.5?)
I turned on the option in display settings for orientation, but nothing happens when i rotate my phone. accelerometer works because papijump still plays nicely.
It doesn't work on the home (desktop) screen, but it does everywhere else.
oh, thanks it should work on the home page. sheesh

Get aHome for cupcake and it will auto-rotate. Oh, and get it while it's free. It's in testing mode right now but worked with no problems for me.

It doesn't work everywhere else there are other parts of the phone that it doesn't work on, like the call screen when on a call, anything to do with the dialer and contacts basically there are other but im tired and headed to bed. lol
Menu->Settings->Display and check Orientation and it will auto rotate

Just a word of experience. I had rom that used to do full auto-rotate. And it was the BIGGEST pain in the a$$. I would try to dial while driving and it would be rotated the wrong way, etc.
So some apps can auto-rotate and some NEVER EVER SHOULD !!

Agreed; I do miss it on the Home screen, but it's implemented wisely otherwise. The first thing that came to mind when he said he wanted auto-rotate for contacts and dialer was "Why would you want that!?"

Lol I a bit tired but that was kinda the point i was trying to get across I like it better this way.
I just wish I could figure out a way to get it to not go back to portrait everytime it goes to sleep. I keep it on my desk for e-mail checking/web browsing in the landscape position. Every time the phone turns off the screen, whe I turn it back on I have to pick it up so it will go back to landscape. Any one have any advice for this?
yea, i used to hate while getting a call, trying to answer but it wont because it auto rotated back and forth...new auto rotate will take few days to get used to but its better IMO
So i flashed to the froyo beta, had random reboots, and gps issues, so i odin'd back to 2.1....All is well, except my auto rotate is F'd. I am using launcher pro...enabled auto rotate, but it wont rotate until i open slide the phone open. When i close it, i get a blink of the screen, but it stays rotated....only way to get it back to normal, is lock phone, unlock. I have tried reflashing...wiping...nothing works....but when i flash back to froyo...it works!!!! WTF???Any ideas? Thanks

Iirc, the option for 270 rotate is in your build.prop in 2.1 but it's not used in 2.2. There should be an entry for "270 rotate= true" in order for it to work. Verify that it's there and let us know...

WOW!!! That worked! Thanks alot....Weird how flashin back to stock dosnt fix it...Thanks again.
My accelerometer stopped working in some apps. I have Elixir & it shows that the accelerometer is outputting data, & if I use my camera it can sense whether it's in portrait or landscape, yet if I pull up my browser, messaging app, or gallery it won't switch orientation.
What the hell is wrong & how can I fix it?
Mine started thus today in the browser, thought nothing of it until my browser assumes the phone to be upside down and refusing to change it's orientation, how odd.
I'm currently on RCMix 1.0 ics build. Prob gonna reflash later or go back to gb build if not fixed, see what happens.
Make sure you have "Auto-rotate" in Quick settings if you're on sense...

No problem! I'm glad to help!
Using stock rom, auto-rotate just quit working.
Looked for a setting but nothing seems to help.
Any ideas? Did my accelerometer just die? I will find one of those games that uses it and see if the game detects movement of the device but other than that, I am clueless.
you should consider doing that first and posting your results after
Accelerometer is working at least in the games, just proved that. Still no joy with apps like Dolphin Browser. For example, in Dolphin I went into settings and checked the "Auto" selection under "Orientation" but it just stays portrait no matter which way I tilt the device. If I check Landscape within Dolphin it does keep the browser landscape all the time but that's not really what I am after. Any help would be appreciated. Thnx

Yep, just did it, see above.
Is auto rotate checked under settings>display?

Doh! I kept looking at the settings over and over and going into the Motion section but none of that made sense. I just didn't think to go into Display. Wow, I feel like an idiot..
Fixed!
Now the question is, who/why was it unchecked? I didn't uncheck it. Oh well, problem solved.
Thanks!
I'm having trouble getting my phone to auto-rotate. I'm not sure if something I've installed has broken/disabled it or if it's normal on the One, but it sure is annoying. I do have auto-rotate enabled in settings. Is there something in Sense 6 Toolbox or Gravity Box that might be doing it? I've dug through them and haven't found anything but maybe I'm an idiot.
The easiest way to tell would be to turn them off or just use xposed to uninstall its framework files and reboot. Then you'll know if its related. Also, not to be obvious, but make sure what you are trying to rotate can be.

Are you wanting the home screens to auto rotate? The phone won't rotate the home screens.

No, everything but homescreen, really. I just disabled all my Xposed mods, restarted, still no rotate. I'm trying in Chrome. Also, if I use a landscreen app and then use app switcher, it's stuck in landscape until I go to a portrait only app.

Have you tried uninstalling the apps you think caused this? try to, and see the difference.
