I've tried 2 apps still nothing. Worked at one point but started acting up any suggestions other than recalibrating?

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.

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?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
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!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
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.

Did they take away the ability too adjust the brightness by sliding your finger across the notification bar in the official 4.0.4 update?

I used custom roms so I didn't know. That sucks though I'll probably waste 100 hours this year going into settings to adjust the brightness

Many of the jb ROMs have the option to place a slider in the notification drawer. See screenshot next to the word "auto"
I'm running Orthus Five at the moment, but I'm pretty sure that the option is also in liquid, as well as other ROMs in this thread.

Ya I went totally stock bacause I didn't have enough time for all the flashing and updating of roms.

Get and App called "Display Brightness". It provides a transparent and auto-hiding brightness slider on the screen that works anytime the screen on on (lock screen, in apps, home screen, etc...)
it works well on the skyrocket... and yes, I'm still pissed that samsung took the notification bar brightness slider away.
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

I'm noticing that when the screen is off and I tap toward the top of the screen the phone screen turns on. I just noticed it today but it happens every time I tap the top of the screen. Also when the screen is on and I hover my finger toward the top part it selects buttons on the screen as if the sensitivity is high up there. Thinking of returning the phone for a new one but wanted to know if others had this problem.

It could be a problem with your sensors I'd call Samsung or take it back to sprint

I would boot in safe mode and confirm it's not a third party app before taking it back. Also poke through all the settings to be sure motion and accessibility features are off. Safe mode instructions for the s3 or s4 worked for me. I forget how to do it but Google is how I found it

Thanks for the help, I figured out it was an app causing it after all
