Hi there,
I searched for this but could not find anything, so my apology if I overlooked it somewhere.
Just bought my Galaxy SIII through Verizon, Android version 4.0.4 ICS. Everything is still stock except for changing the wallpapers on the homescreen and lock screen (both different). Here's my issue and it seems to be off and on. If I hit the home button, regardless of whatever app or screen I am on, the wallpaper will glitch and seem to "offset" itself for a brief moment. This results in some blurred/granular stuff on each side. So far I've turned off the animation and transitions in the developer option, and turned off S Voice wake up when hitting the home button twice. I also tried reverting my wallpapers back to the stock wallpaper. Nothing has seemed to fix this problem as of yet. It's not lagging the phone performance, but it's annoying and look like ****.
Anybodye give me some help on how to address/fix this issue? Thanks in advance for any help.

I am having the same problem with mine. The screen works in all the apps I use that support screen rotation but the home screen does not rotate. I have tried everything in the previous posts and still cannot get it to work.

I'm pretty sure you need to use a 3rd party launcher to get the home screen to rotate.
I use Nova Launcher & that rotates the home screen just fine.

Any app that supports screen rotation YouTube, messages, setting, Firefox, stock browser, pretty much everything I tried. Screen rotation was turned on the whole time and I'm running complete stock not rooted no rom or 3rd party launchers. The only thing that fix it was removing the battery while rebooting and a factory reset did nothing.

Have you tried a factory reset? Maybe something in your system is corrupted.

Screen wouldn't rotate
I tried everything and the only thing that would allow it to rotate in apps like dolphin browser and you tube was to pull battery. I am rooted and custom rom i tried reinstall of rom and also factory reset and nothing. Thanks for the reminder of pulling the battery, was so use to donig this on my t-bolt. I haven't needed to do this since then just forgot to even try it.

I installed go locker which is working fine but the problem is before go locker there is always the phone lock screen image. For this I have to swipe screen twice to get into phone.
Is there a way I get to keep only go locker, lock screen and get rid of phones lock screen wallpaper?
bte go locker is the default lock screen on my phone.
any suggestions?
thanking in advance.
cheers
This is the Galaxy S2 Q&A not the Go Locker or Android apps support section.
This type of question should be asked in a general Android forum/section or directly to Go team.
Shouldn't you get the option to disable default stock lock screen in the go app?

The problem is that SGS2 lock screen wallpaper is not being disabled. Question is how to stop that.

I found the fix. You need to download the "go lock screen" application too. It can be downloaded from go locker app. :thumbup:

But its not unique to Galaxy S2, its simply that you have this device.
This is not a Galaxy S2 topic, its a Android app topic and it helps people including yourself to put these types of topics in correct place so that when people use search option they dont have to search every single forum section and can narrow down their results
understood. I'll learn and be carefully next time. thanks for explaining.

No worries bud. It just helps to have them in right section for when people search as it narrows down more
Hey guys, just wondering. Is anyone else our there who has upgraded to JB and started to have his lock screen rotate all the time even when the auto rotation is off? It seems to be happening to mine and is causing quite a lag on unlocking.. -.-. It didn't have this problem when I was on ICS.

I'm on official OEM 4.1.2 rooted with clockwork mod and I noticed the same thing today. At first I thought I had turned screen rotation on but when I checked it was off. Only seems to affect the lock screen though.
from day one, I have had this since August, my 8013 has always done this, and I mean every time I pick it up in the morning, it is in portrait and it takes 1-2 seconds to reorientate itself and respond to an unlock swipe. behaves exactly the same on JB as it did on ICS. it's the only hiccup this baby has at all, and does not bother me in any way. just quirky. gives it personality
I had this problem also on my nexus 7, with 4.2.1, and now on my Note with 4.1.1/german version. It only appears on youtube, not on mainly screen, or in movie player, but it's annoying!
Anyone Found a solution?

If you turn the device to standby when it is in portrait then it restarts in portrait. If you switch to standby in landscape then it restarts in landscape. No matter what the actual tablet orientation is.
I found it only happens when I have certain apps running in the background. YouTube is one that causes it.
Run YouTube, lock the tablet without closing the app and the screen will rotate once you awaken it.

Not really a solution but I just disable the lock screen all in all. The lag was making me angry specially when I do have to take a quick note and bam, you get stuck in the lock screen. Now it just opens to the home screen or whatever it was on before.
screen rotation at lock screen
GT-8010, 4.1.2, rooted, changed cwm, official Belgium rom (JZ054K.N8010XXUCMA8)
Always use the note in landscape, screen rotation is off, every time I take it up, it switches between portrait and landscape depending on the angle.
If there is a fix I am interested.
I have no idea where to start for a solution.

Hi all,
I recently purchased a Galaxy 7.7 (GT-6810) tab but have noticed something unusual when scrolling in portrait mode. Whenever I scroll up or down a web page for example, the text and page will just slant and bend. When scrolling in all sorts of directions everything just seems to bend and there is some kind of wave effect if that makes any sense. As the begins to stop it appears to even itself out and becomes level. This seems to happen in some other applications aswell.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Sorry if this has been answered before. Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi, on the day of purchase I upgraded the device to version 4.0.4 (ICS) from Honeycomb 3.2 (I think). I remember seeing this before the firmware upgrade but I thought nothing of it at first.
Mine is the same. On stock 4.0.4 and PA and CM10.1. Normal I think.

So my screen rotation stopped working all of a sudden. Tried calibrating around 100 times, still it dint work. I thought I had a defected samsung device. After an hour of googling I learned that users having devices like Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy Note and Samsung Galaxy S3 were facing the same issue.
So whats the fix?
Turn the phone off. Remove sim card. Put it back. Reboot.
I dont know how the SIM card is even related to this but it started working instantly after I did this.

I was facing the same issue while watching videos on the youtube app. The video changed itself to landscape and never went back to portrait no matter which way I held the phone. Try calibrating the phone and then remove sim card, put it back and reboot. Its working fine with me now.
