Screen rotating on lock screen? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Same issue I have it here, my version is JB from UK

Yup, mine too. 4.1.1 from Portugal. It's really annoying...

I was gonna open a thread about this issue. it wasn't like that in 4.0.4

My 4.1.2 does this every now and then

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.

Auto rotate

Is there any way to turn off the auto rotate? I don't like when the phone turns to landscape.
Thanks!

Settings->Display->Auto-rotate check
Though I haven't been able to have anything of mine rotate, except apps that default to landscape. What do you have that's rotating and causing issues?

no problem, I tore through settings many times last night trying to configure stuff.
And that works, I was really confused because I didn't think the Sense homescreens rotated and since mine didn't by the sounds of your first post I was concerned that my rotation was broken, but browser/sms rotate fine, so I gues it works.
I had issues w my auto rotate last night. I ended up having to flash it back to factory and all was well after that. Now auto rotate is working as intended with all screens.

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.

[Q] Jelly Time random black screen

Ok so, since I am new to actually USING XDA. It wont let me post into that thread to ask this question, even though I have searched it up and down for answers. I do understand that the OP(randomblame) says that there is a black screen issue after unlocking the device. I don't have that issue. What I DO have is very odd and not mentioned. On specific apps, the screen will go blank to just a backlight if I click on something. For example, in the phone app I can dial the number and everything is fine, as soon as I hit the call button, screen goes blank backlight. Same thing happens when watching video on youtube app, or hitting the search button. I always have to lock it, then unlock it to get my screen back. This is especially a problem when someone is calling, no screen.
Very wordy yes, if you need me to clarify I'd be happy to. Thanks for any help
I read somewhere that this happens even on the cm10 version and no fix or direct cause has been found yet.

I had the same issues. Used beta 13 with no problems but tried the release version 5 and 7. Still had black screen. Tried 7.2 and so far it will do it but not as much.

That actually sounds more like a separate known backlight bug, one where the screen goes off on system sounds. The devs know about it and are working on it. All JB Ace ROMs have it to some degree. A workaround to make it happen less is to turn off all system sounds in Settings -> Sounds.
After using jelly time 7.2 for half a day black screen bug came back. Now I am back to beta 13.

The code fire and unofficial cm10 nightly roms have been fixed as far as black screen bug.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I believe I might have found a work around for the black screen. It has something to do with the system theme. If you go download any theme and apply it, no more random black screen in any app! This solved the problem for me, I encourage anyone else to test my theory.
He just put out R8 too which fixed both screen issues and camera. Just FYI.

Yup I've been using R8 since last night and the first system sound going to blackscreen is gone and the backlight staying on sometimes after locking is also gone.

Anyone occasionaly unable to open quick settings menu by tapping clock?

Hey there,
Just curious if anyone else sees this problem? And if there's a known reason or fix? Pretty much like the topic name says.... sometimes tapping the clock just does nothing, no matter how deliberately I tap or hold it. I know it isn't hardware because when I rotate into the other other orientation, that portion of the screen that was just the clock now responds fine to touch. A reboot will fix. Thoughts?
EDIT: Should have mentioned - bone stock, unrooted, locked etc. Havent gotten up to any tinkering with this thing, too many bad hardware reports to invalidate warranty lol. Though my hardware seems good so far...
Thanks...

I prefer the ASUS quick setting to stock Android notification, but I don't think I have any problem with them. Have you try cold booting your tablet? Shut down and press power+volume down?
I know you said it's not hardware, yet that sounds like a digitizer problem.
I get this from time to time - I even got it once last night, after flashing CleanRom 2.3... which was a little disappointing.
I've found that if I get a notification of some kind - say, an email being received - it clears this bug and I can then tap on the clock to bring up the quick settings menu and it will work fine from then on. It's only after a reboot that the bug reappears, but then not every time.

Yes. I get the issue since I believe JB update. One work around that worked for me is open setting from setting icon, which I have on one of home menu. Some how after that it works again. So I agree it is definitely not related to hardware.
Hi,
Yes, this happens randomly with my tablet too. Likewise, only since JB.
As noted above a notification does seem to make the issue go away. I have tried all sorts to find the cause but always come up blank. Rebooting also removes the problem.

I had this issue with JB. It was annoying as hell. Went back to ICS because of this and the "black flickering lines" problem. I already posted about this, but maybe it was on TF and not here... It's a bug in JB...

I suffer from this as well.
Yeah, notifications seem to fix it. Glad I'm not the only one... I guess. Really is annoying as hell to not have quick access to brightness settings and stuff. Funny, I didn't know the cold boot required the volume button trick, I thought just a normal shut down / restart did that. Thanks for the tip, I'll do it regularly lol.

Sorry all, but I don't have this issue on my rooted, locked .18 JB. It works very well indeed.
I also have this problem. The only way I can fixitisjust a shutdownand restart. Can be annoying.
Same here... Started after the JB update... One quick fix for me is to plug in my ear-buds and the QSP pops up.. If you don't want to carry around your ear-buds, if you have a pair that you don't use anymore or a damaged pair, you can cut the tip off and carry it around in your case/cover..

[Fix] Screen Rotation Bug

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.
