since putting my phone back to standard factory mode yesterday, i have noiced my phone's auto rotate gets stuck on landscape mode and it wont go back to normal. If i use the camera straight away its on landscape mode.
I have tried the tes snsor page an it passes, i have tried a fctory reset and cleared cache and still no avail.
is there a glitch in the os i downloaded?
help aprecated as its driving me mad.
Thanks
right,i downloaded a bubble level and it was out so i calibrated it and it was working spot on. so to me my hardware is fine.

ive just tried ultimate rotation app. put app settings on Auto for the camera,messages, maps etc and stil no joy.
Been told seen as the galaxy 2 came on gingerbread, is it worth putting that firmware back on to see if it could sort this problem out? As it seems there is bug with jellybeen.

just installed ICS 4.0.3
sorry to go on. i have just installed ICS 4.0.3 (cleared cache and did factory reset as per guide here) and upon start up to my surprise, auto rotate is still getting stuck! i have notice on camera or say messages when on landscape mode. if i tap the back of my phone after a few taps it will go the right way roun
d,also on camera pictures will come the right way up. This is baffling me now. There was nothing wrong with my phone when i got it few month ago.
Is it the hardware at fault (i have dropped it but in a rubber /plastic case) the odd times.
what would you suggest now?

Just recently found that Auto-rotate stopped working on my Inspire. I have checked my settings multiple times and it is checked, but it will not rotate to landscape mode. I have tried it in both the browser and messages and neither one seems to work. I doesn't matter how I hold the phone it stays in portrait mode. I have also restarted and powered down the phone numerous times but to no avail. Glitch or something wrong with the phone? Should I take it back and get a replacement?
mine is doing the same thing. Really annoying when I am trying to show off the pictures, hopefully a fix is coming
I think I'm just gonna take it back to Best Buy and get a replacement since I've already dropped it and scuffed the edge. Plus I have their insurance and buy back program so I shouldn't have any hassles just swapping it out.

A reboot will fix the auto-rotate. This has happened to me a few times, I'm trying to figure out what app caused the lock - I think it might be Tweetdeck or Twidroid.
Shouldn't happen, I know, but a reboot will return it to working mode.
I've had the Inspire for 5 days and have the auto-rotate freeze up twice. Once was in the store when I bought it, and I think we fixed it by killing the Internet app. The second time was two days ago, and I fixed it with a restart. Seems to be a software problem, not hardware sensor problem.
Had the same thing, solved by re-calibrating sensors.
Hi there,
I had the same thing. It drove me nuts, but eventually I found the problem. I am using CM10 and in the System Settings->Advanced->Sensors I noticed that under "Use Calibration File" the small print says that after checking it you HAVE to re-calibrate. Now I don't remember actually checking that check box but I might have, since I was tweaking the device to my liking after that first install of CM10. I re-calibrated and vuala! It now works just fine.
If you are using another ROM it could be in a different menu, but find it and re-calibrate the sensors.
Hope this solves your problem too.

First post here, sorry if it's in the wrong place. Here is the back story for my problem...using an AT&T Samsung Focus, carrier-unbranded it and forced update to NoDo using the method that tricks Zune. Everything was working well, had version 7.0.7390. Yesterday when AT&T finally released NoDo for the Focus I figured what the hell, there may be something phone/carrier-specific, so I'll update the proper way. The update went fine, rebooted and I have legit NoDo.
My specific problem is that the keyboard is slow to respond now. It seems like if I'm typing faster than a certain speed, it can't keep up and the buttons don't flash and make the click noise with every press, like I've reached some kind of threshold. I've tried turning off/on all the settings for sound on press, auto-correct, etc., and none of it has worked. I also reset the phone completely via the About > Reset Phone option, but that didn't help. Has ANYONE else noticed this problem at all with any WP7 phones on NoDo? I also tried to reset with the Power+Vola Down+Camera button combo, but when I get to the format menu, the screen does not respond to touch AT ALL.
The keyboard problem is more a nuisance than anything and I can live with it if I have no choice, but I'd like to fix it if I can. It's frustrating when I press a button but the phone doesn't respond to it, so I think I've made mistakes when I really haven't. Does anyone have any suggestions for either the slow keyboard response or the unresponsive format menu?
My keyboard gets a bit slow if im typing in an app that requires internet and ive got a weak connection or if its still loading. Im not sure but i think you interact with the format menu by using the volume buttons
I noticed the same thing with my focus. The only difference is I just waited until AT&T officially released nodo until I updated. I didn't try to force it. And my keyboard is pretty slow when texting. Sometimes when I send the message, it doesn't show up in the message feed for a few seconds. I wonder if this has to do with the update that AT&T added.
Yep same issue here post Nodo, ATT Focus. Esp. Check out the slow repeat rate on the keyboard (like holding down the backspace key.) I find it pretty annoying, was actually gonna reset my phone to see if that helped bc the keyboard doesnt keep up with me anymore.

I only noticed the problem after updating with the legit ATT update. I can verify that resetting the phone does NOT fix the problem, and that it must be related to the ATT NoDo. I'm thinking of trying to somehow go back to the forced NoDo update. Have any of you tried to do a "Reformat" of your focus and have it completely unresponsive when you get to that menu? I also tried to use the hard buttons in this menu and they didnt work either. That's another thing I noticed but I can't say for sure if that was a problem in the forced NoDo I had before.
So my keyboard is working fine. Before, when my keyboard was lagging, I had a 2GB Sandisk microsd card in my phone. This weekend I upgraded to a 16GB kingston microSD card and since the reset, my keyboard is working fine. I also noticed that the lag between when I hit send to when the message showed up in the feed is not there any more.
Maybe the nodo update exaggerated the issues that can occur with some sd cards.
Do you have a microsd card in your phone?
Nope, no SD card in my Focus. This problem never came up on the previous version of NoDo that I had (non AT&T version). It only started after I let Zune update my phone through the normal process and got the AT&T version. From what I can tell, it's directly related to that.
Ok well then the SD card shouldn't be an issue. Maybe it has something to do with the hard reset I did. Maybe the accumulation of text messages in a "feed" is causing the typing issues. And by hard-resetting, I cleared the feed.
Try texting someone that does not have a feed, or delete their feed then text. My text messaging feeds are very small right now since I did the reset just last night so that might be why it is working fine for me now.
I've also done a reset on mine as well, still no luck. I can't do a reformat on mine, though, because the reformat screen is completely unresponsive. I reset through About > Reset Phone though and it didn't fix the problem.
The reformat is what I meant to say, sorry. So does the reset you did clear the text messaging feeds?

Yes, it clears everything (apps, data, texts, media, etc) and sets the phone back to factory settings, NoDo. This is the reset, though, and not the "format." I've still been unable to use format.
Well maybe it is a combination of things. Maybe it also has to do with the forced update as well. I've been seeing some people say that they cannot do a reformat after doing the forced update.
well i done the first method of getting the nodo update , but when att came out with the nodo for my focus i updated it that way, but it did a 100% complete and all...everything went well on it but when it start back up it said the sd cd was corrupt that i had to so a reset on it but after that of course i lost my jailbreak when it did where i had it from prevent it from locking again but after reset it worked fine....keyboard never lagged out
I managed to reformat my Focus using the Vol Down + Camera + Power buttons, did a clean install, and am still having this problem. I'm out of things to try with this. Anyone else have any suggestions?
Just got a replacement N5 from Google for a warranty issue and after full re-root and setup I went to get in the car today and use bluetooth and I noticed a problem. Bluetooth will not turn on. Tapping the slider moves the position to on but it remains greyed out and, in fact, off. I tried a restore of the bluetooth share and pairings from Titanium backup and that just hung and never completed. I can always factory reset it but I hate to go back through that ... anyone got a way to 're-install' bluetooth and save a reset and reconfiguring for me?

This apparently has been problem for Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. One poster from android central posted this for his Nexus 4:
I called Google technical support and they found a solution for me.
-In your Nexus 4, go to parameters/Applications/All/Bluetooth
-Here: erase cache, data and updates.
-Resart your phone.
In Nexus 5 Settings>Apps>All>Bluetooth Share. There you might try Clear data and Clear cache.
Got nothing to lose. Hope it works. I cannot test it myself since my Bluetooth is working.
Thanks for the suggestion. I had looked around and saw a couple mentions loosely similar related to the N4 but wasn't sure if same applied to N5. Looking though ... I do not have a bluetooth share app installed. That must be the issue, anyone got a way to re-install that Bluetooth Share, seems my backups from Titanium won't restore it.
Found thread where someone had your issue and solved it with reset.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/activate-bluetooth-t2595761
Maybe you could do backup to PC and get this restored with reset.
I know it is a PITA.
I figured a reset would square it away, was just hoping to find a way to avoid that if I could. I suppose next w/e I will reset if I don't find another way to get BY back.

When I run this app, it says no BT folder found. Seems the issue is that somehow this BT Share app just isn't there.
Another fix...
I know you already solved your problem, but I thought for people like me, who have found this thread later on, I'd just sign up to XDA and post my fix.
I didn't want to do a hard reset, so I played around with the "Bluetooth-Share"-thing in the Android app manager.
I cleared the cache and the data, that didn't do anything, even after a reboot I couldn't get the Bluetooth toggle from beging greyed out.
After that, I found that button at the very top right, that is labeled as " Uninstall Updates" or something like that. I tapped it and tapped OK at the following prompt. Where the "Uninstall Updates" button was before, should now be a greyed out "Disable" button. Then you need to reboot.
Try to enable Bluetooth. The toggle should turn blue after a few seconds as usual. Bluetooth should work normally now.
I hope my post helped anybody, :cyclops:

I am not having any luck. My bluetooh stopped working after doing a hard reset. Please note I've never rooted or flashed a ROM, or unlocked boot loader or anything. My N4 and N5 have always been completely stock.
I've tried everything in this thread, except I am not sure what hiwye is talking about as I cannot find an uninstall updates. I went ahead and tried another factory restore/wipe and still have same issue. I hit toggle to turn Bluetooth on, it then immediately toggles back to off.
Just as a side note, my bluetooh was working fine until the factory wipe/reset. I did the reset in an attempt to fix a sim card slot issue, that is also still not resolved. Upon restarting my phone, I get "no sim card" message. I got a new sim card and also confirmed the sim card works fine in other phones..... i can turn off, pop it out and back in and boot it again. sometimes it will see the sim card again. It may take 20 times, but finally work..... I should probably start a new thread on the sim card thing, but wondering if my motherboard needs replaced.....

I get the same Sim card missing screen I have tried a new sprint Sim and same issue. They way I have been fixing it is to pop off back cover and where the vibration motor sits (stays attached to cover) I put my finger in the hole and squeeze the 2 parts together and hold tight till it finishes booting and it will see the card. I'm not sure what's exactly the problem is but it works as temp fix and will stay until the next reboot.

Only device so doing it and taking PUC not gonna happen let me look up some images and I'll post them its not that difficult if you have had the back cover off before its very obvious where motor is. The motor is literally just under the flash led. Pop off cover starting at the top and slowly down each side with a guitar pick there is a tiny bit of adhesive at the bottom of rear cover about where the soft keys are when phone is on. Peel that up slow and you will see the vibration motor stuck to rear cover. See the space it came out of and put finger in that hole. And other finger opposite the first one on the glass and squeeze.... Not crazy so you break screen. Don't take much pressure. Start light and boot it. Says no Sim, try again with a little more pressure. When it first happened I googled sh*t for 2 days and couldn't find a fix. And this worked when I tried and a few reboots after. I shut phone off or battery dies I gotta do it to get Sim recognized.

Worked for me, thanks.
So pretty much my auto rotate doesn't work even when its ticked or un-ticked and re-ticked, I even rebooted and nothing. Funny thing is that the accelerometer seems to work when I try a game that uses it so I have no idea what the issue is..
Back story to what I did is I flashed factory 5.0 and tried to root flashing SuperSU but found it didn't work so had to use CF auto root to finally get root working. I then installed all my apps and just used Titanium backup to restore data to my apps not system data. I didn't realized it wasn't working till recently. Anyone have any idea why this would happen or what I could do to fix it? Preferably not having to refresh everything... lol
I don't think Google home or whatever the stock launcher is supports rotation. Does it work when inside other apps?

No it doesn't work in chrome or any other apps that support it thats the issue.
Stock Lollipop via factory images or OTA, or a 5.0 ROM found here?
Same as mine !!!
Having same problem . Will not auto rotate after ota lollipop update . Will rotate and tilt to steer in games and youtube rotates when going to full screen but nothing when turning the phone . I've done a factory reset and now been advised to down grade back to kitkat but I'm not too confident doing that .
Somebody said to give it a couple of hard smacks on side to free y axis , thought they were taking the p-ss but I've just "smacked" mine and now auto rotate working again !!!
Mine has a different thing. I want to disable autorotate in my device, but it won't disable at all. I tried disabling from the quick toggles, from the display settings, and even from accessibility, but my phone still auto-rotates. Is there some way to lock the orientation of the screen?
Edit:
So I decided to wipe cache and dalvik from recovery as a last resort, but not expecting much out of it. To my surprise, it now works as expected. I had to enable auto-rotation again from accessibility, but afterwards it was working perfectly.
It is quite odd however that I am running stock, just unlocked and rooted. No xposed as well, and this happens. I have always hated wiping dalvik as it takes long (longer now in 5.x.x) to rebuild the cache, but I must admit, a lot of the odd issues I have encountered were fixed by these "easy" steps.
Hi,
I just got this s7 for 3 days and i have this problem where the screen wont turn on but the phone still is active.
A hard boot will fix it but its only a temp fix because i had this problem 4 times now in 3 days.
I didn't root it nor did i install any weird apps outside the google play store, i disabled a couple of bloat ware apps like all microsoft apps and a few google apps like hangouts and gmail.
I did some research and found out that more people have this problem but all the fixes they got it to wipe the cache but the phone still has the problem after that so i would like to know if more people on xda have this problem and i would like to know what they did to their phone so i can see if we have anything in common to pin point the problem.
See if the setting for preventing the phone to turn on in your pocket is enabled. If so, try disabling it and see if that works. It may be a problem with the proximity sensor if it's a hardware issue.
Thanks for the reply and i have that setting indeed turned on! So ill switch if off right now and lets hope this will fix it!
Seems like turning off that feature didn't work
If you have an SD remove it or format it. I had this on kitkat because of too many files in internal memory
Think i found the problem because i think its fixed. While restoring my old settings like wifi etc from my ggole account caused this problem and now that i skipped this part in the setup the phone seems to be working now for 2 days perfectly but thanks for the reply and help.
Woot, I have fixed the problem!!!!! Its the App Power Saving Feature that causes this!!! I had some app set to "always" and when i used any of these app and then put the phone in standby then it would lock up every now and then. Now that i have turned off this setting the phone runs steady for a week!

Is your phone still working fine without blackscreens?
I've got the same issue (sometimes 4 times in an hour, sometimes it doesn't happen for 2 days..!!).
I've tried fixing by doing a factory reset and turning app power saving mode off.
Unfortunately this did not fix the problem. Yesterday I got an unresponsive blackscreen again :crying:
Any ideas what could fix the problem?
