I've had my Note 5 for two weeks and on two occasions, it was stuck on portrait mode even though it is set on auto rotate, it would not go into landscape mode. I had to turn off the phone in order to get it to auto rotate again. Has anyone had this problem and if so, how did you fix it?
so you mean, with the button greyed out, something like a browser window will still stay in portrait mode while the handset is in the horizontal position?
I haven't had any issues that i've noticed.
does some light tapping do anything? maybe even try a factory reset (I cringe, too).

the button is not greyed out....I"m still able to toggle from portrait mode and auto rotate mode but the screen won't toggle and will only stay on portrait mode......
Had this problem once but it was stuck in landscape mode while I was using the Chrome Browser. All I did was press the home button and it went back to portrait and closed out Chrome. then relaunched and it was all good. I know that probably wont work for you since yours is stuck in portrait mode, everything works in portrait except some games. Try launching a game that runs in portrait mode.
I have this exact problem!!!
I have had the same thing happen to me about once a week. I end up having to reboot the phone to get it to rotate again. Once it happens it occurs in every app capable of rotating. Anyone found a solution?

Dear Buzz,Rudegear other experst and members,
I was surfing net in landscape mode and till then everything was alright..but when I restored the orientation to the potrait mode, the alignment gone heyware....somehow managed to get back..but can u tell...why this is with 2005 and hw this can be fixed...
Do I need to assign a button for rotating the screen?
Pls reply
It sounds like a problem I occasionally have with 1.60b. It usually happens after PIE has crashed. The screen looks right but it misinterprets touches: usually it acts like it's rotated through 90 or 180 degrees. Touch one corner and another reacts!
I take regular backups to a storage card, so a quick restore puts it right.
I have the AT&T branded Fuze in my case, and occasionally when I'm browsing/navigating in Opera in portrait mode, the screen will flip to landscape, only 'upside down' landscape (i.e. 180 degree flip from the landscape you'd see if you slide the keypad out). Usually I end up having to do a soft reset to get it to go back to normal.
I've tried doing a search on this issue via the forums here but couldn't find anyone else mentioning this. Has anyone else encountered this and/or know what might be causing it so I can at least try to avoid it happening?
Me too...
I have been using the HTC Fuze for the past week, and this is the main issue i am having and i cannot seem to find a way to resolve this issue.
I have had this issue almost non-stop, every time i put it in my pocket.
I have searched for the solution / fix / problem and have come up with nothing except 'recalibrate'. (which actually worked once)
Any thoughts, solutions for dealing with a flipped orientation fuze would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon
Hi!
Did anyone here notice that the screen rotates from landscape to portrait mode every time the Phone Dialer appears? Like for instance, when you short press Send (Dial) Key or when you get an incoming call?
I have tried so many differend ROMs I don't even know which one I have installed now. The described behaviour was the same on all of them.
Is there any way to fix this? I have tried 'auto rotate' but it just looks silly: when i get incoming call, the screen first rotates to portrait, then 'auto rotate' rotates it back to landscape and I can't answer the call during all this rotating going on
You probably need to flash back to stock or do a MTTY Task 29 then flash a custom ROM, sounds like you have some residual affects from previous flashes.
Thanks, I guess this is the only thing left to do. I assume you didn't notice this behaviour with your Topaz? The phone app also has other bugs, like the button "Save to contacts" does nothing...
Does it stay in landscape mode? or does it only do if for a second or less and then switch back to portrait? I recall having a similar problem on one of mine... I just did a hard reset tho and that fixed it for me.
If auto rotate is turned on it rotates back to landscape (but ti takes more than a second), else it stays in portrait mode. It's good to know hard reset (better with format) really is the solution. I will try it when I find some time.
My phone briefly allowed me to use it in landscape mode in every area of the ui is it possible to permanently switch this on?
It will let you do it when it's charging. Not without root.
Thanks, i just realised that too. Sorry for the useless post.
Every time I switch on Screen Rotation (Auto rotate on most Android phones) in order to watch Youtube or view pictures, it turns it's self off after a minute or two and goes back to portrait. Is this normal? Anyway to fix?
