I've came upon a bug and wanted to see if anyone rise has encountered it. Randomly my phone will not rotate from portrait to landscape. Once chrome actually got stuck on landscape and wouldn't go to portrait. Disabling and enabling rotation seems to fix the issue temporarily. I can't seem to pinpoint what's causing it. Everything is stock still, the phone is rooted and I'm using the Google Now launcher.
Google Now Launcher doesn't let you rotate the screen into Landscape, you'll need Xposed + GEL Settings or Nova Launcher/Apex to allow it to put the phone into landscape mode while on the home screen.
Happened to me all the time in cm11 snapshot m9. Never happened o me otherwise.
I think it's a bug. It happened to me sometimes and it takes a while to rotate.

Im looking for an overlay app of any sort that helps my screen rotate. I have no problem with apps causing my screen to rotate into landscape, but if I turn my phone to any side or direction it will not rotate. Also the only way for me to get back into portrait mode after its already in landscape mode is by going to instagram (an app that only allows portrait mode). Im not sure if the sensor in my phone is broke but regardless of what rom im using this problem re-occurs and gets pretty frustraition
Hi all,
after upgrading to Lollipop, I have been experiencing a few "glitches" with the screen orientation a couple of times. Even though I've been holding my phone pretty straight upwards, the screen suddenly starts to rotate to landscape mode. Is there a way to recalibrate the gyroscopes (if they are responsible for that)? EDIT: OK, seems that it is actually the accelerometer...
The phone is stock unrooted, only thing is that I am running Nova launcher, could that be an issue? Has anybody else seen this?
Trying to avoid a reset but I'm all out of ideas.
-woke up today, screen wont rotate
-Using nova launcher, home screens are enabled to rotate but don't. Neither does messages or browser
-disabled nova launcher, messages/browser/everything else still doesnt rotate
-when i turn on the camera, the icons rotate when i flip it
-did a gyro self test with *#0*#, it passed
I don't know what to do, ideas?
*edit*
-x, y, and z axis all change [from what i can see] properly as i move phone in the *#0*# > sensor test
-downloaded a rolling ball game/app to see if it functioned, it works fine
I have no clue wahts going on. I saw people asking if "screen rotation is enabled" to other people on google, but I don't know of any screen rotation option short of whats in the nova launcher im using [which wouldn't effect webbrowser/etc]
I started a thread about this a few days ago. My will get "stuck" in landscape. It takes a few mins for it to go back. Not sure what is up.

Mines been stuck for about 3 hours now that I'm aware of (but I didn't use it for the last 9 hours). I also know I had a burst of like 30 messages come in from the same person all at once before noticing this issue, I thought their cell service just lagged and shot it all out when it came back online, but I'm starting to wonder if it was my phone doing something weird
Same issues randomly started for me last night as well. From everything I've read there's no definite answer yet. So frustrating.
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.
Hi, anyone know how to make this auto rotation not so sensitive? I noticed that if you tilt it only for a second it would rotate... Or is there any setting that can be tweak say if tilt over 2 seconds then only the screen will rotate.... Thanks...
Completely agree with this. Most sensitive I've noticed on a phone probably ever. To the point where if I put it down on my desk or go to pick it up, the screen would rotate. Ended up having to turn off auto rotate.
Would love to find a way to reduce the sensitivity.
3rd party apps would solve that but don't want to install another apps just for the auto rotation.. I ve tried calibrate the gyroscope still the same...
Same here.
The orientation is too sensitive, but also buggy, plus when it goes to landscape uunwantedingly, it sometimes crashes google search when trying to scroll through the results.

Update to android 11 it will fix the problem, the update is pretty stable though.
