I'm having trouble getting my phone to auto-rotate. I'm not sure if something I've installed has broken/disabled it or if it's normal on the One, but it sure is annoying. I do have auto-rotate enabled in settings. Is there something in Sense 6 Toolbox or Gravity Box that might be doing it? I've dug through them and haven't found anything but maybe I'm an idiot.
The easiest way to tell would be to turn them off or just use xposed to uninstall its framework files and reboot. Then you'll know if its related. Also, not to be obvious, but make sure what you are trying to rotate can be.

Are you wanting the home screens to auto rotate? The phone won't rotate the home screens.

No, everything but homescreen, really. I just disabled all my Xposed mods, restarted, still no rotate. I'm trying in Chrome. Also, if I use a landscreen app and then use app switcher, it's stuck in landscape until I go to a portrait only app.

Have you tried uninstalling the apps you think caused this? try to, and see the difference.

Ok so i have the JF 1.5 build and i just did the New easier, more reliable apps to SD setup. My phone ended up having to be wiped because of something else so i had to start from scratch, but now the bouncing rotate effect will not work at all. I have it enabled, but still nothing happens. does anyone have any suggestions?
It doesn't auto rotate on HOME screen. Settings, browsers, market, gallery..etc. auto rotate works fine
mine stopped auto rotating on all of them. Also, auto rotate did work on the home screen before i had to wipe my phone
i used to be able to do messaging in horizontal mode using the full onscreen keyboard, but not anymore

Did you enable it? In the new build it's disabled by default. try pressing menu at the home screen and going to settings->sound and display and make sure the orientation checkbox is checked
Marcus, your the freakin man!!!! I totally forgot about that one. I only switched it in Spareparts app. thanks a ton man
phone seems to be all good now

Good, trying to keep my method as free of problems as possible, whether real or perceived.
Hi,
Since two days I'm a happy and proud Note owner, but there's one thing, that makes me really go crazy:
I installed the program "Widgetlocker", because the standard lockscreen is quite broing. It actually works quite good, but sometimes the standard lockscreen still apears. Not instead of the widgetlocker, but additional. So I always have to unlock two lockscreens.
Does anybody else has got this problem? And how can I fix it?
I tried to find a solution in different forums and in the program configuration, without sucess!
Thanks for help!
Edit: The error apears mostly when there's a pop-up (gtalk e.g.) or when I plug in the charger....
I turned on root helper and home helper in settings, that fixed it for me. I'm on Stock Rooted XXKK9 if that helps.

I presume you have set the lock screen to "none" in the actual phone settings too?

Hi, chrcad,
Finally, the someone else who's been having the same problem.
It IS really irritating. Sometimes it's OK, but other times it just comes on.
Have turned off the lock screen option, but same thing happens. Someone please help!

My widgetlocker works fine. Been using it since day 1. Hmm.. Sorry. Not sure how to help.
chrcad,
Your problem seems related to the fact that Android is not having enough memory left ans simply closes "useless" apps and considers that WL is part of them. To prevent that to happen, simply check in advanced settings the "refuse to suspend WL" box and Android will look another application than WL to close

Thanks @ everybody for the help, but unhappily it's still not working properly.
The problem always apperas, when the phone's sleeping and a gTalk message comes in.... but ONLY, when the gTalk ppop-up is activated......
Any (more) idea?
you are leaving it running all the time aren't you?
I use to have the same problem, very rarely but it was still annoying. I have put a lock on widgetlocker so if I ever close all programs, widgetlocker is still running. It's not happened since but it's only been a few days so I'll see.

Some pop-ups cause this if they're designed to appear underneath the stock lockscreen rather than dismiss it.
For now:
1) Easy Wake Mode disables the system lockscreen
2) WL Settings > Long-press volume down for Experimental > Aggressive Dismiss stock lockscreen. This should work, but it's not well tested yet so it's off by default.
My accelerometer stopped working in some apps. I have Elixir & it shows that the accelerometer is outputting data, & if I use my camera it can sense whether it's in portrait or landscape, yet if I pull up my browser, messaging app, or gallery it won't switch orientation.
What the hell is wrong & how can I fix it?
Mine started thus today in the browser, thought nothing of it until my browser assumes the phone to be upside down and refusing to change it's orientation, how odd.
I'm currently on RCMix 1.0 ics build. Prob gonna reflash later or go back to gb build if not fixed, see what happens.
Make sure you have "Auto-rotate" in Quick settings if you're on sense...

Using stock rom, auto-rotate just quit working.
Looked for a setting but nothing seems to help.
Any ideas? Did my accelerometer just die? I will find one of those games that uses it and see if the game detects movement of the device but other than that, I am clueless.
you should consider doing that first and posting your results after
Accelerometer is working at least in the games, just proved that. Still no joy with apps like Dolphin Browser. For example, in Dolphin I went into settings and checked the "Auto" selection under "Orientation" but it just stays portrait no matter which way I tilt the device. If I check Landscape within Dolphin it does keep the browser landscape all the time but that's not really what I am after. Any help would be appreciated. Thnx

Is auto rotate checked under settings>display?

Doh! I kept looking at the settings over and over and going into the Motion section but none of that made sense. I just didn't think to go into Display. Wow, I feel like an idiot..
Fixed!
Now the question is, who/why was it unchecked? I didn't uncheck it. Oh well, problem solved.
Thanks!
I just bought the mentioned phone and I'm experiencing some weird problems on it. For example, I disabled most of the google apps by going to the App menu > Edit and disabled them by pressing the "minus" on the icon. Now if I want to re-enable them in Settings > Applications by going to the Disabled Apps section, pressing Enable and it gives me the option to DISABLE it again? WTF? Seems like I can't enable any app I disabled now..
The second thing is, it's more of a question really.. If I long press the home button, it only makes a short vibration and does nothing at all, is that normal or should something pop-up?
I mean really!? Ok, when you've pressed the enable toogle and the toggle becomes "disable" it means the app is already enabled and it gives you the option to disable it again.
Long press of the home button brings you to google now app, you must have disabled it.

I don't understand the bold text I quoted from you.. What do you mean? I clearly stated that I've disabled an app, and if I press to enable it, it offers me to disable it.. which is, already disabled?!?!?
Sorry for the misunderstanding but I don't get it how could I disable a already disabled app?!?

I mean when the button has the word "disable" on it. It means it's already running and app is ready for use.. Vice versa, if it has the word "enable" on the button.

I have DISABLED an app, therefore the app is DISABLED. If I want to enable it, the button there clearly says "Enable" but when I try to do that, I get a pop up as I was trying to disable it, which it already is.. Why don't you get it? xD

Ohh I get it now, if you've disabled it and the app is already updated, and you're trying to enable it again. Just click the pop up to disable it again, it just wants you to uninstall the updates and it reverts back to the apps factory version, and press the enable toggle again, the app will be enabled. You just have to reupdate the app again. In the touchwiz home you can directly disable an app but in the applications manager when you try to disable apps you have to uninstall the updates. Since disabling through the home launcher is just a shortcut.
Just touchwiz things.

It's normal, if you're not rooted. It's not really a bug, it's just a feature of touchwiz. My stock S5 and S4 has this, too.

Oh okay then.. I thought I got some faulty phone Any news on when is the ram management fix coming? Seems like my ram is staying at 80-90% at all times.. even when I'm not running any apps..
Also, do you recommend disabling the apps you don't use? For example I have disabled most of the google apps on there, since I'm not prone to use them..
