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?

Hi!
My Sensation has been experiencing some weird behaviours.
Although the rotation is locked on the rom (I tried several, all same issue), it still rotates. The only way to stop this is through the launcher options and force vertical mode.
It wakes up during the night, out of the blue. Nothing running, no processes waking it up.
Sometimes I'm browsing stuff (like this morning, browsing the TB backup list), and it kept going back like I pressed "Back" button.
Now, I tried several roms since, all same behaviour (Sense, AOSP, CM, etc..).
Used an app to test the sensors, they all seem to be responding accordingly, although I don't exclude a sensor issue, for some reason it shows normal behaviour in everything else. The rotation works properly as in, turning the way it should, but if it's locked, why it keeps rotating?
Did anyone ever experienced anything like this? I searched on google / xda, there's some odd cases here and there and either they ended up being sensor files being corrupted or uncalibrated.
Anyone care to shed a light on this?
Thank's a lot
Update: New sympthom, on Sense 3.6, it seems like Dock Mode is being called randomly too. This makes me consider a sort of loose contact or alike :S
Anyone?
my samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 was upgraded to 4.1.1 from 4.0.1 recently. and ever since the update, even tho auto rotate is turned off, it will rotate on the lock screen and alot of apps. I upgraded to 4.1.2 hoping it would fix it, but it didnt. so besides using an external app, any way to fix this?
No.
The apps are supposed to rotate. You need 3rd party apps.

use an app is the only way out i guess !! :fingers-crossed:
but this is what i dont get, is like, the youtube app used to stay locked in landscape if i locked the screen in landscape. now ever since the update it turns whenever the screen is. and as some one who locks in landscape to use while laying on my side, this gets annoying
Bump
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.
Anyone having the same issue and have found a solution?
Phone suddenly stuck at some instances even with non-extensive usage.
Yesterday I was only using Facebook app. When messenger bubble pop up, my phone suddenly spiked. Moved once and then it got stuck already. You'll notice that it's not Facebook app only that's not functioning since nav. buttons are also stuck. You can't go press home and clear recent apps/hibernate apps. Power and volume buttons are also not functional.
So I assume the main system crashed. I only did a long press on power button to restart.
I installed Franco kernel r73, and thought that issue would only occur with stock kernel.
However, it occurred again today, I was viewing photos in Stock Photos app. I haven't started viewing the first 10 images yet, so memory should not be consuming that much. I turned on the auto rotate to view the image larger. When I turned the phone landscape, it reacted like it's about to rotate. And suddenly it got stuck. This time, power button is functional. It turns the screen on and off but it still turns to the same stuck screen, not the lock screen.
I've been experiencing this since 5.0.1. and almost everyday since I updated to 5.1.
I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue on my unit since mine is already about 1 year and a half old. I don't want to buy another phone yet!
Or is this a common issue nowadays due to Lollipop upgrade. If so, then could you provide temporary fix before they update this on 5.1.1.
Thanks a lot!
I had something similar . When I put forward the curtain hangs notice and then everything worked fine
Meh
I've seen this behavior on my Nexus 5 only on 5.1, and I'm pretty sure, it was introduced with that specific lollibug version. It's really annoying, that you have to reboot the phone every two or three days to avoid the freezes.
There's already in issue for that, it has got the ID 161032.
Hello,
i have issues with the Display Rotation.
The Accelerometer don´t work anymore at my phone. Last Week i was wondering that the Display won´t rotate at the Album. Then i checked the Display Settings. Auto Rotate was checked.
at the Service Menu *#*#7378423#*#* the Accelerometer don´t respond. But the Gyroscope work fine.
At this Time i have installed the Concept Software from Sony. Today i´m back home from Holiday i go back to offical Stock Software. But it won´t work also.
Smartrotate on or off are the same...
The last idea is to repair the Software with the PC Companion. Is there an option to calibrate the Accelerometer?
I have the same issues with my D6653 - auto rotation doesn't work (but very rarely it does come back). In service menu the Accelerometer doesn't respond, as well as Proximity switch is off and doesn't work on calls.
This is not a rom-specific problem as I've tried to revert back to stock firmware but alas no changes. It must be some miscommunication between hardware and software.
Any ideas what to do? Can it be related to kernel?
yesterday i've had the same problem i needed to wipe to have the accelerometer back to work
Hi all rather than opening a new thread I am upping this one
On my D6603 screen rotation is very erratic and often not working.
Any idea what I can investigate?
I wander if it could be app/service related of hardware deficiency.
Thanks!
Any luck with this?
I am currently using an EM95X Android Box with a Viewsonic touch screen. The touch screen has been working perfect with the box. My issue is with the rotation ability. Anytime I force the screen into portrait mode the system UI crashes. Unfortunately, I need the monitor view to be vertical. I cannot figure out how to stop it from crashing. I have tried several rotation apps with the same results.
I have went into the build prop to view the rotation texts and the only thing I have found is this:
"Persist.sys.app.rotation=middle_port"
I thought I might be able to find somewhere I can change the rotation, but I have not.
Any suggestions?
