My xperia Z5 will not rotate to the correct orientation - it does the exact opposite rotation, 180 degrees off. I have tried a factory reset to no avail. My bootloader is unlocked for what it is worth. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Lol - I got that, too, 2 days ago,
you tried rebooting whether that resets the sensor and it works again ?
Rebooting does not fix my problem unfortunately.
give the following app a try:

Alternative:
disable screen rotation (or set it to stay at the position once the device is rotated), then reboot and re-enable again
Ended up doing a complete firmware reinstall using this tutorial, which is apparently more deep of a wipe than in TWRP. Rotation now works as expected.

Seems that the motion sensor for Rotation compass etc has stopped working on my Nexus S. I have been flashing the early builds of CM7 and after updating CM7v3 w CM7v4 (hoping to add back rotation) I haven't had it since. I've tried old ROMS/Backups that I know have working rotation, even did a factory reset via Samsung RUU (Root Erased too). Any ideas? I'm pretty much at my wits end with this device.
Hi Guys
I have a leliktec A20 tablet, and recently noticed that it no longer auto rotates. I found the toggle which enables the auto rotate is set to lock orientation. I toggled it to auto rotate, and everything was fine until I allowed the tablet to sleep. When I woke it up again, the toggle was set back to locked (in landscape mode). If I lock it in portrait mode and then sleep the tablet, on waking again its locked in landscape mode.
Factory reset does not fix it. Can anyone think of why this would suddenly happen?
Thanks

There must be a bug in the rom flashing it again will not solve this problem in my opinion try updating it if avaliable or you can also chose a custom rom

Try flashing the stock rom or restoring and old nandroid...

Found the problem
Found the problem when I noticed I was not getting any sound anymore.
The tablet had decided that the hdmi cable was connected even though it wasn't (hence defaulting to landscape mode and the missing audio). When I put the hdmi lead in and removed it, all of a sudden it worked again!
Thanks again guys.

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?
I have a Sprint Galaxy S5 and was running CM13 for a while without a hitch. Suddenly my auto rotate stopped working...I tried rebooting and doing a dalvik/cache wipe and SOMETIMES this would make it work again. It'll only work until my screen is off for a few minutes and then it no longer works. Apps that require landscape (like youtube) work just fine when going full screen but upon exiting the app stays in landscape until I quit (at which point the screen goes back to portrait) or if I lock then unlock my screen the app will rotate back to portrait.
So I figured this had to be a software issue. I tried a few other CM Roms with the same result. Then I tried flashing back to stock marshmallow directly from Sprint and NOT installing xposed or any system mods right away and it STILL happens! I can use apps to force the rotation but it doesn't work on its own. Again, sometimes after a reboot or a cache wipe it'll work until I turn off the screen then it's guaranteed not to again.
Can anyone offer some advice? Ive tried factory resets, diff Roms, diff hacks, nothing works.
Thanks in advance!

I'm having this issue, too. Has anyone found a solution?
It's almost certainly a hardware failure and therefore not fixable. My son's GS5's rotation sensor failed.
As a workaround, he installed an app that lets him manually change the screen to portrait or landscape mode.

Mine did that as well, but a wipe of cache and delvik cache worked.. I'm surprised that did not help for long..
I just purchased my Samsung galaxy S7 yesterday and the screen rotation worked fine until today, the screen rotation did not work at all so I started looking for a way to fix it(factory reset, restart, making sure I had auto rotation activated, tried scanning the gyroscope sensor but it failed) without having to make my own post but here we are, what do you think I can do to fix this?
As its a day old I would return the phone to the store. you've done more than I would have if it's that new.
Looks like a hardware issue, since it exists even after a restart.
do check your rotation setting
