Hi Guys
I have a leliktec A20 tablet, and recently noticed that it no longer auto rotates. I found the toggle which enables the auto rotate is set to lock orientation. I toggled it to auto rotate, and everything was fine until I allowed the tablet to sleep. When I woke it up again, the toggle was set back to locked (in landscape mode). If I lock it in portrait mode and then sleep the tablet, on waking again its locked in landscape mode.
Factory reset does not fix it. Can anyone think of why this would suddenly happen?
Thanks
Kihon
There must be a bug in the rom flashing it again will not solve this problem in my opinion try updating it if avaliable or you can also chose a custom rom

Found the problem
Found the problem when I noticed I was not getting any sound anymore.
The tablet had decided that the hdmi cable was connected even though it wasn't (hence defaulting to landscape mode and the missing audio). When I put the hdmi lead in and removed it, all of a sudden it worked again!
Thanks again guys.

what's up everyone, put smooth maximus on my sidekick about a week ago and it's been treating me great.
i've been interested in making the phone ONLY use landscape mode, which is possible through the "orientation control" app for our devices. only thing that annoys me about using this apk is that the lockscreen will still fall into portrait mode, and every time you slide the screen up to access the keyboard the screen 'reloads' itself.
i'm a little bit particular with the way my phone runs, and i'm wondering if there is any way to mod the phone to prevent it from reloading the screen when it slides open and whether it is possible to force the lockscreen into portrait.
thanks in advance for the help guys

are you saying that it wont open in landscape even when your holding it that way?
no, it will open in landscape. but the lockscreen is never disabled from portrait mode, and whenever the screen is slid up (even when already in landscape mode) the screen will blink for a second and seemingly reload whatever i'm doing on the phone.

That's odd, iv never had that happen with the stock lockscreen, only with lockscreen replacement apps.

Go into settings and enable auto rotation after you have enabled landscape mode lock with Orientation Control.
That will resolve the issue.

uhhhh, did you read my post? don't tell me to "try reading" when you don't have a grasp of what i'm asking. when did i say anything about not understanding how to use orientation control? i'm asking questions about the lockscreen and about the phone doing this reloading when the keyboard is opened. step off the high horse and learn to read before pompously telling others to...
U can't make it only landscape mode who would want that?

well this phone was made to be nearly always used in landscape.
Android forces the phone the reload the screen resources with a hinge change. This cannot be changed. Additionally, this can be a source of memory leaks if you write quick and dirty code with globals...
I don't know of any version or mod of the Android OS that does not refresh the screen with a hinge change.
This refresh happens everytime you open and close your device. You only notice it on the lockscreen.

alright thanks for that info, wasn't sure if there was any code for it to prevent from doing this. guess i'll have to live with it. appreciate it!
just flashed latest KatKiss rom, its very fast, but I cannot seem to get thescreen to rotate. I have auto-rotation turned on, tried on and off, but no luck. Any ideas?
Welcome to the forum!
are you docked? If so, it wont rotate. You must be undocked and it should work just fine. If not, perhaps your accelerometer is broken. Use CPU-Z from the Play Store to look at the feedback from your accelerometers.
Sorry I was away for a while... No not docked...
I ended up installing an App from the store... Acreen Rotation Control and setting it to Auto and now everything works fine. Not sure why I had to do that, but it's working and that is good enough for me.
Thanks.

I'm having the same issue. I "solved" as you did, but it kind you sucks in my opinion. I'm using 4.3 build 020.
I'd suggest uninstalling the app and then getting a logcat (see the how to report link in the KatKiss thread) and send that to Tim to see what is preventing rotation.
Only 2 users out of probably 5k+ users have reported this issue.
for me some apps are just "sideways apps". what can you do? I just use rotation locker for that portrait mode. not sure what else to do. :sly:
Yeah, but mine has been rock solid since flashing and using the Screen Rotation Control app.
mmm...

Got similar behaviour.
Using KatKiss 4.4.2 #23 -- it can rotate the screen, but when I try to lock it in the desired position (using the "quick tile") the tile briefly flashes and the screen gets on landscape mode again.
I see it's not related to the tile, since the same happens if I get to the rotation settings on Android's "Configurations". Tried using a program from Google Play to set it (sorry, can't remember its name) and it didn't work either.
Hoping @timduru may take a look at this...

Thanks, but that's exactly the one I tried -- didn't work unfortunately.
Well, just tried latest version, KK 4.4.2_r2 #024, still no luck.
So here are the three asked logfiles.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
Autorotation is enabled, and I'm using the tablet in landscape mode. Turned it right (ie, counter-clockwise), worked as it should (screen rotated).
Then I opened the "tiles menu" (the one in the right upper corner, below the clock) and pressed the rotation tile.
It briefly changes to the "locked” icon, but turns again to the "normal" one and puts the tablet again in landscape mode!
Interesting enough, the menu remains opened but the icon is seen as the "locked" one.
By the way -- tested undocked.
Many thanks @timduru -- apart that it's an outstanding ROM. Hope to hear you soon. :good:
Update: auto-rotation working as expected on KatKiss 4.4.2 version #026, no additional software needed -- many thanks @timduru!
Hi,
I recently updated my TF101 to KatKiss 6.0.18. Since then, have the same problem with screen not rotating. Tried installing several applications that should rotate, but this does not solve the problem.
Tried also the "dropping the tablet" trick recommended by some on Google, but this also without any success. With the Check Sensor app, values remain to 0. Everything was fine beforehand with KK 4.4.
Any hint ?
Thanks
My xperia Z5 will not rotate to the correct orientation - it does the exact opposite rotation, 180 degrees off. I have tried a factory reset to no avail. My bootloader is unlocked for what it is worth. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Lol - I got that, too, 2 days ago,
you tried rebooting whether that resets the sensor and it works again ?
Rebooting does not fix my problem unfortunately.
give the following app a try:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5UZXN0X1NlbnNvcnMiXQ
Alternative:
disable screen rotation (or set it to stay at the position once the device is rotated), then reboot and re-enable again
Ended up doing a complete firmware reinstall using this tutorial, which is apparently more deep of a wipe than in TWRP. Rotation now works as expected.
Hi all,
I've been experiencing an issue with my Pixel 2 where the screen is occasionally, and seemingly without rhyme or reason, not rotating to landscape view. It basically gets stuck in portrait mode despite having "auto-rotate" enabled and the only way to resolve is to reboot. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a sensor I need to calibrate? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Same. Stock, rooted with Magisk, running Substratum.
Same but i dont have to reboot, just toggle it from quick settings. Also it sometimes takes several swipes to unlock the phone. Not most of the time, but sometimes. Mostly after the screen has been off for an extended period of time.

For me, it doesn't matter toggling it in quick settings, or even the settings app. It won't rotate unless a fullscreen video or game forces it. After exiting, the screen stays landscape until I toggle off rotation, it snaps back to portrait, then won't leave portrait again, regardless of how many times I toggle autorotation.
Same here. Rotation stops working randomly, and toggling the quick setting does nothing. Only rebooting helps. Phone is completely stock.
Ditto. Just started happening recently for me. Especially annoying when using Android Auto. A restart fixes things for a while, then it goes back to this. Mine is stock as well.
Pixel 2 auto rotate
Mine shuts off randomly and I have to switch it back on
Same problem here too. Yes a reboot does fix, don't know for how long though.
Anyone ever find a way to resolve this? Just started happening on my Pixel 2 XL. It's completely stock. Autorotation is enabled. Super annoying.
So my s10e decided to factory reset itself in my pocket (not going into details) and afterwards I set it up and everything, turn on AOD and set my phone down. I realized only the charging status was showing on the AOD and nothing else. I checked the settings and everything looked right, but today I discovered that if I rotate to landscape it works fine. I turn it back to portrait, however, and the issue persists. Does anyone have a single clue why this is?
Also the switches appear grey when on for some reason
