Need help my screen won't rotate!

All of a sudden my screen refuses to rotate I have no idea what the issue is screen rotation is turned on so it should work but won't. It still works in the camera app but nothing else will.

Just did a factory reset and it still wont f*(@*&# rotate what the hell is the problem???

Go to Settings/Display/ is (Auto-rotate screen) checked ?
Pull down notification bar make sure screen rotation is on.

Yes its check and iv calibrated it multiple times.

I guess ill be bringing it back to verizon tomorrow sucks because i really dont feel like getting a refurb phone after only having this one for less then a month! Unless anyone else has any suggestions for me?

Oooook???? WTF just happpened?? I am so confused right now. After multiple shut down/reboot about 10 calibrations and a factory reset it still would not rotate the screen but i [email protected]# pull that battery and restart and now its working??? WTF? really?

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.

[Q] Home Screen Wallpaper Glitch?

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.

[Q] Rotate Lag

Has anyone noticed some super slow screen rotations? Also, on the home screen, are you able to auto rotate? My MoPho Q is acting funny after flashing some stock system images and updating(Mine freezes and reboot loops sometimes). If anyone has any issues with their screen having rotate lag please post here, thanks!

I havent experienced any of those issues... I have rooted deodexed and otherwise stock phone. Maybe try to reflash?

Thanks for replying. I have been reflashing stuff all day, nothing seems stable. Had phone up for 10 hours then started reboot looping. I formatted my sd card and did factory reset, tried 3 or 4 different ways of recovering everything so idk what else to do. I am just now re-rooting and trying deodexed, making backups every step of the way(beyond frustrated).

Wow that's no fun... how bad is the auto rotate lag? It takes mine about .2 seconds, not long but there is a slight delay. And the only way I can rotate the home screen is if I slide the keyboard out. I was looking into making my own ROM but didn't figure it out. I'm hoping for one soon, maybe that would fix for your problem too.

Just recently I've been having problems with my screen not rotating back after sliding out the keyboard. Sometimes it doesn't rotate at all. I'm just rooted with the latest update also. Don't know why this is happening.

I've had that a couple times, usually it goes away on its own. I tried turning rotation on/off, forcing it back to portrait mode using apps that only run in portrait, cycling lock screen on and off, finally it just started fixing it self after a reboot or time.

Haha, did exact same things. And you're right. Hasn't happened in awhile.

Just wanted to confirm that I have problems with this too. Sometimes I get tired of waiting to the point that I open the keyboard to force landscape mode.

Screen rotating on lock screen?

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.
regards,

Stuck on landscape

My phone stays in landscape since yesterday... I've searched the web but no solutions :-\ some say hardware, some say software.
Opening a vertical app rotates the screen, but when I leave it I go back to landscape..
Any idea? Don't want to to reset to fast or bring him to service.
Stock rom

There was a thread similar to yours a few days or weeks back. You may want to take a look at it, if you haven't already.

i've read soms topics on One S and One X... No solution found.
I had contact with HTC Holland and they told me to put the phone in Safe Mode (didnt even know this excisted - Reboot phone and press Vol down when the screen lights up not earlier or you go in fastboot) to see if its a HTC problem or third party app (because you cant use third party apps). In safe mode I didnt have the problem but when I returned to normal mode I have portrait view too. Strange thing
1 thing is still changed: even lockscreen goes landscape.. This is not normal I think? Can anyone confirm?

I wiped android secure in twrp and it fixed the landscape problem for me
