Starting this morning, my Nexus S is stuck in landscape mode.
When I fist boot up the phone, it seems to launch directly to the desk cradle mode, but it has never been connected to one.
Everything is landscape even the launcher. I can't use the phone because I can't reach the OK button for the SIM card PIN enter screen.
Factory reset didn't help. The inital setup is portrait, but after that it reverts to landscape.
Any ideas? Might this be a hardware problem?
EDIT: Android 4.0.3
EDIT2: I applied the VQ8PQk_V.zip OTA update manually to my stock 2.3.6 version. After a factory reset, the phone works as normal until the first reboot. The accelerometer is still working, i tested it after a factory reset before rebooting the phone.

Sorry me for waking up this thread from his graveyard after 3 month.
I have an i9023 with the same issue of Tocharius:
my device is stucked in landscape mode and when i try to turn on it I cannot enter PIN code because OK button is outside the screen. The only way I have to make it works is to wipe data partition and everything works fine until first reboot.
In addition to this problem fastboot has stopped recognizing my phone, while ADB still recognise it.
When the issue firstly appears I was under CyanogenMod 9 v6.0 (Kalimocho).
I tried to flash other ROMs, but nothing has changed.
I tried to revert to stock, but nothing has changed.
I tried to open the phone, clean every connector i found, but nothing has changed.
Someone can help me?
I got this problem too. Lately I installed CodeNameAndroid 2.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25941996#post25941996 and after reboot my phone got stuck in landscape mode. I tried to reflash the rom and everything was fine until a reboot. Wiping data and resetting factory helps until reboot. I flashed another rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588799 and again the phone was stuck in landscape after reboot. I tried all rotation settings but nothing changes.
I was browsing settings searching for something that could fix it and turned adb debugging off and on and now it is stuck in portrait mode.

I had a crash yesterday when my phone screen just blanked out while it was on charge and was getting very hot. After unplugging it, i rebooted the phone and after the initial logo, no screen was coming on. I could feel the haptic feedback but nothing on the screen. I again rebooted nothing, luckily i got into recovery by power+3D+vol down and restored old image.
But since that time i've tried the following methods:
1. Installed new image
2. Factory reset stock phone and camera still hangs.
3. Software UPdate via LG software update tool and clean fresh install.
4. Emergency phone restore as the boot got corrupt one time.
5. Restored using previously working image(s). tried 2 separate dates and roms.
Nothing works for the camera and doesn't take picture even by pressing 3D button.
EDIT: Update. Managed to finally get the camera working after lot of clean installs of CFW. Only prob is when i click storage and press SD Card option it hangs. Tried many times and even on another ROM but it just hangs when switching storage to SD CARD.
Is there a hardware issue or a software one?
Any idea or tips that could help me restore my camera?

Hello. my phone was bricked yesterday after a month of installing one ui 3.0, this issue also happened also in one ui 2.0, and a month before.
My phone boots up normally just fine but after i enter my passcode in the lockscreen the android is starting popup opens and after that it just freezes and just boos again and repeats the same thing over and over.
I did booted up into recovery mode and wiped my phone's cache and repair apps, but there was no menu for the factory data reset. i don't have any clue this is an software issue or an hardware, i want to recover my phone with ODIN but i don't have my computer here right now.
so in conclusion the problem with my phone is that i can boot it normally but if i type in my passcode and the android is starting.... appears and it just freezes and boots up again.
and i don't know why it doesn't have the factory data reset menu on the recovery mode.
please help.

Then just wait until you get hands on a computer and can use odin.
Hello everyone,
So I have a rare issue. I have a OnePlus 6. Today, it started to act really weird. It became so slow that even swiping on home screen with no apps opened takes like a minute to register. I forced power off the device. When powering on again, it seemed like it take around 10 minutes or so to boot. Again, extremely slow. I tried everything from restarting and clearing app cache while in the system itself but no luck.
So, next thing I booted to recovery mode, typed my pin, and cleared system cache and settings. It started to progress until just a tiny bit left before the end of the progress bar, and it got stuck again. Kept like this for a long time. I had to force power off the device again. Now, when I try to power on the device, it launches into Recovery Mode. I tried my pin but it wouldn't decrypt and looks like the device is no longer recognizing it. I tried a couple of "default passwords" but it wouldn't work either. It only gives the option to "Forget Password?" Which should wipe everything off the phone. The only other mode it launches into is Fastboot Mode. I'm using Stock everything and Device State is Locked. I'm not sure where to go from here.
Now my question is, is there any way I can open my device again without losing data? Maybe some way I can pull files using adb in that state then factory reset? Or maybe someway I can bypass Recovery Mode and boot again? I have important data that I can no longer access if the only way to fix this is by wiping everything!
Can anyone help? Much appreciated in advance.
When a phone permanently boots into Recovery mode then either Android OS is corrupted - for whatever reason - or phone's bootloader is misconfigured.
If phone is accessible by either ADB or Fastboot you can try to exit Recovery mode by forcing phone to boot into Android OS ( Normal mode AKA System ) by applying the related ADB and/or Fastboot command.
Hi everyone.
Last night my phone ran out of power and when I charged it back up it wouldn't boot at all, so this morning I decided to try and fix it but I think I have just screwed it up even more to the point that its completely bricked.
I could still access TWRP and tried to reinstall the firmware and flash TWRP through the checkbox execpt about 1 minute in the screen went off due to the time out, but the screen wouldn't come back on at all so I left it for an hour just in case if it was still running in the background, after this time I hard restarted the phone and entered TWRP again and but it didn't install the firmware properly and my computer wasn't reading the phone properly so as a test I tried to swap bootloader from A to B stupidly and now I can't seem to access anything, only thing I can do is the menu where it says start, power off, recovery mode and restart bootloader. Pressing any of these settings seems to just put me back in to this menu again.
When plugging in the phone in to the PC it make's no noise at all as well.
Have I completely hard bricked my phone? Or is there a way to fix it?
Thanks Ben
All fixed I flashed the RAW firmware
