My screen auto rotate has stopped working. I've checked its set to auto rotate and it rotates ok when using the camera. It just refuses to rotate photos in gallery or when using the web browser. I suspect a corrupted file, any ideas?

Anyone else have this - has been fine until today, screen *seems* dimmer in the daylight and when i put the camera on it flickers black on & off, seemingly more when i'm moving the screen. reboot does nothing.
Any ideas?
Have you tried disabling geolocation in the camera app?

champion - thank you dude, worked a treat.
My ts should arrive tomorrow. But I went to BB to check them out and the first thing I checked was how this thing handles rotation. I love to sleep and read on my side and I noticed that the reader will not lock vertically so while on my side I can read in potrait mode. When u do lock rotation it defaults to landscape. Is there a work around?

Moon+Reader locks the orientation you choose (It defaults to portrait).
Just lock the screen while you're in portrait, and it will stay there.
If u lock screen it defaults to landscape. I did download moon+ pro but i need big titles. Is there a way to buy kindle books a view them in moon?

I guess we're talking about two different things. If I'm in portrait and lock the screen using the Settings in the right hand corner, it stays in portrait (vice versa in landscape) . I'm running Prime 1.5 and Netformer, so maybe there's a setting fix in there. I can turn it on and off (not reboot) and it stays in portrait.
I have an HOX AT&T. When I turn off Auto-Rotate while in portrait mode, it always switches to landscape mode. Is there a way to lock it into portrait mode?

When I turn auto rotate off in landscape mode it forces portrait mode on everything and when I lock it in portrait it locks it in portrait. I am on the AT&T RUU_Evita_UL_Cingular_US-1.82.502 right now. Which version are you running right now?
Just to be clear landscape is wider than taller and portrait is taller than wider.

There's an app called "Rotation Locker" which could solve your issues

+1. This app is awesome. You can also use it to force your home screen into landscape if you so desire.

Right. If you long press "Auto" it will run a background service that will force rotation based on the sensor (forcing meaning it will force any apps that don't want to rotate to do so anyway).

The way you describe is how I hoped my phone would work. This is how my Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus works, and I love it. But unfortunately, my HTC behaves oddly.
As for my version number, i couldnt find any version number like yours. Mine is just a plain old AT&T HTC One X, straight out of the box and unmodified.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried this app, and it's not helping. It's just a shortcut for the "Auto-rotate screen" setting, which seems to be defective.
The problem I'm seeing is that whenever I turn OFF auto-rotate, the screen switches to landscape mode and stays in landscape no matter what the screen orientation is. When auto-rotate is ON, there are no issues -- the screen orientation adjusts based on which way I hold the phone as expected.
I've run G-Sensor Calibration in Settings, but to no avail.
I wonder if anyone else is having this issue.

Ahhhh, mystery solved!! It looks like there's an additional "Auto rotate screen" option under the Accessibility menu in Settings. Somehow I had that turned on. And this was screwing with the auto rotate setting under the Display & Gestures menu.
Once I turned it off under the Accessibility menu, all works perfectly now, including the Rotate Locker app.
Thanks.

If I'm in landscape mode and disable auto rotate, it goes back to portrait!!! :-\ I guess I was remembering my experience with the 4s where I can make the orientation stick to what its currently at.
Thanks
Edit: I can force my home screen to stay in landscape using the launcher settings but not the apps.
Some apps like phone don't rotate at all in my experience

Before I updated to the minor 4.2.2 update (something like 12.15.15), I could launch the camera app without waking my phone by just twisting (like what we see on the moto x commercial) the phone. After the update, I had to wake my phone up to use the twist gesture. Anyone having this issue?
A side note, my active display sometimes failed me in the middle of the night.

I have not had any issues with the twist to launch camera from sleep, I use it a lot.
When active display failed, did it cause a Force Close? it may have been a one time issue, if it reoccurs you could try clearing the cache for the active display app in Settings -> Manage Applications, or even your device cache (there is a guide on how to do this floating around here somewhere).

Are you using an app like lock screen policy to disable lock screen widgets?

Yup that was the issue, thanks. Disabled the camera also disabled that feature.

Ok so the camera issue is solved. But I found out I have some minor issues with the proximity sensor. Sometimes the active notification will not work when I moved the phone and it automatically sleeps (locks) when I use the phone. Lastly after making a call, the screen will not wake up and waking it via power button is ok. So my guess is that the proximity sensor issue, however rebooting the phone seems to solve the issue for a day or two.
