So..out of nowhere my YouTube app just stopped letting me rotate to full screen landscape mode on my stock unrooted gs3. What gives? I rebooted, didn't fix it..any ideas? I know this is a dumb question.

Did you check the phone settings to see if Auto Rotate is on?
I typed this with my thumbs.
Yeah....I'm an idiot, I have know idea how I turned it off. Must be the settings version of a “butt dial".lol

You sure you didn't turn it off by accident?

Does it not work with anything? Or just a specific app? Some apps allow you to specify for that app only, even if it differs from the system setting.
It doesn't work on anything

Maybe have accelerometer went bad. Have you tried anything besides autorotate that uses that?
On YouTube I have to double tap the video to get it to play full screen. In the browser I have to put it on portrait mode only. I can't look or take pics in portrait mode

Have you tried a factory reset? If you get to the point where you tried everything else I would back all your data up then try that.
Which rom are u running or are u running stock?

I say try the bubble level app. See if that seems to work right. That will tell you if there is something wrong with the accelerometer. If that is bad, that would explain why it isn't sensing what way it is being held.
ya what rom are you running cause it might be within the notification bar the far right notification in weapon rom it has it in there, if so, try clicking it and then going to landscape mode.
Stock 2.3.3

I don't know what I did, but I went into my account then auto rotate started working again

Did you install a rotation widget, turn off rotation, then delete widget? Re-install widget, reset, then delete.

Are u on the weapon rom? Cuz I did turn mine off by accident I pulled status bar and figured out it was the last setting on the right, I had same problems as u pics only in portrait etc. I'm telling u it prolly got switched off by accident
It works but I have to hold it in landscape because it wont rotate. I've reinstalled it but the problem remains. I'm running stock. Is anyone else having this issue?

I don't have that option in the settings for Skype
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Does anyone mind testing Skype to computer for me and see if they also have this issue? Just want to see if this is for all skyrockets or if it's just mine. Thanks!

So skype does work with the SR? I haven't been able to get either the front nor rear camera to work at all.
Yeah it works pretty good. The only issue I have is that it wont work in portrait mode. Gotta hold it in landscape which feels kinda awkward. Maybe you should try reinstalling.

I just had the home screen stuck in widescreen mode and even after locking and unlocking the phone it was still stuck. I pulled the battery to fix. Is this a known bug with a fix?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
Did it again. Hot boot fixes it but what the....
No one else seen this?

Anyone know of a way to have a pattern setup to lock the screen but only become active after 15 minutes of no activity? (I want the lock screen to stay enabled at all times, but only the pattern unlock to come up after the phone not being unlocked and used for X number of minute) The only thing I could find completely disables the lock screen until the time limit has been reached.
I had this option one of my Motorola and liked that function.

I'm running Liquids new ICS ROM build 10/26.

Download this app. Only thing is that it costs. Well worth it though.
It's in settings to set it up this way.

Heck no don't buy anything. Hey I restored LICS just for you. Ain't I a pal?
Settings-Security-Automatically Lock->
You can set it anything from 1 second to 30 minutes (after sleep).

That doesn't exactly act like what I was talking about. While you're waiting for the screen to lock automatically, all you have to do is unlock the screen (with power button) and you're on your screen so there is nothing that requires you to slide to unlock while the pin requirement hasn't timed out yet.
It's like the way a blackberry locks the screen and only requires a password after 15 minutes of not being used.

Is the option enabled?
It should be located in the display options or in your notification bar
It's enabled. I was messing around with the app rotation control and I have got the rotation to work but I have to select whether I want portrait or landscape mode. Which sucks. But what is up with the gs3 rotation control not working. I notice that when I try an rotate the phone the screen dims slightly but does nothing! Its a Verizon gs3 flashed to ntelos.
