So pretty much my auto rotate doesn't work even when its ticked or un-ticked and re-ticked, I even rebooted and nothing. Funny thing is that the accelerometer seems to work when I try a game that uses it so I have no idea what the issue is..
Back story to what I did is I flashed factory 5.0 and tried to root flashing SuperSU but found it didn't work so had to use CF auto root to finally get root working. I then installed all my apps and just used Titanium backup to restore data to my apps not system data. I didn't realized it wasn't working till recently. Anyone have any idea why this would happen or what I could do to fix it? Preferably not having to refresh everything... lol
I don't think Google home or whatever the stock launcher is supports rotation. Does it work when inside other apps?

Stock Lollipop via factory images or OTA, or a 5.0 ROM found here?
Same as mine !!!
Having same problem . Will not auto rotate after ota lollipop update . Will rotate and tilt to steer in games and youtube rotates when going to full screen but nothing when turning the phone . I've done a factory reset and now been advised to down grade back to kitkat but I'm not too confident doing that .
Somebody said to give it a couple of hard smacks on side to free y axis , thought they were taking the p-ss but I've just "smacked" mine and now auto rotate working again !!!
Mine has a different thing. I want to disable autorotate in my device, but it won't disable at all. I tried disabling from the quick toggles, from the display settings, and even from accessibility, but my phone still auto-rotates. Is there some way to lock the orientation of the screen?
Edit:
So I decided to wipe cache and dalvik from recovery as a last resort, but not expecting much out of it. To my surprise, it now works as expected. I had to enable auto-rotation again from accessibility, but afterwards it was working perfectly.
It is quite odd however that I am running stock, just unlocked and rooted. No xposed as well, and this happens. I have always hated wiping dalvik as it takes long (longer now in 5.x.x) to rebuild the cache, but I must admit, a lot of the odd issues I have encountered were fixed by these "easy" steps.
On 5.1.1 with a S6 from Rogers in Canada, stock everything, unrooted
Recently phone has been freezing randomly then restarting on its own. Previously would happen just a couple times a week, but recently has been happening, more, today it happened 3 times in one hour.
Doesn't seem to be a specific app that causes this, the crashing also happened when I booted into safemode.
I have done a factory reset, reflashed the stock FW via Odin, and cleared the cache. None of this has helped. Anyone else experiencing this as well or know how to fix it?
I'm out of ideas and about to send it off to Samsung to get it fixed
same goes to me. coming from rooted rom. sometimes can't even go into recovery. it will crashed randomly. managed to install stock rom. but still got a lot of crash.
I find the samsung gear vr app causes lots of ****.
You can't even review it because it's not in the google store they just push it to the device.
Half the time the install reboots and screen is reset to 1028*768 ish. and about 32 colors. I have to reboot in disgust. Seems to put it back.
Sometimes I turn it on and It's a black screen with a small white x in the corner like an ad. But you can't hit the x or back out of the app or use the menu button to clear the app or use the home button to goto the home screen.
I know it's samsung/oculus **** because it says it out loud "plug in your samsung vr device......"
I've taken to clearing the dalvik and even the cache even though I have to reinstall all the apps.
Hi
Has anybody a bug like mentioned above?
My FRD-L09 with the latest fw b131 has that bug. After rebooting it works as usual but after some time it stops rotating the Screen.
The Rotation is enabled in the Settings. Tested with many apps like google fotos, the stock foto gallery, even chrome does not auto rotate.
As is said, after a reboot it works again.
Try wiping the Cache Partition in the Recovery Mode menu. If that doesn't work then backup the data on your device and perform a hard factory reset on your device.

Is the issue gone for once as you rebooted?!
Yes, as i stated above
Good
I have the same issue, after some time the rotation is not working anymore. A restart fixes that temporary, but it is getting annoying

It has happened to me twice in 2 days. Not sure if it was camera related, but that's when I noticed it because the pics I took in landscape were rotated 90 degrees in the gallery, and nothing auto-rotates after that. So rebooting fixes it.

A hard factory reset solved the problem for me, at least I did not get this issue again since 3 days.
But I think it has something to do with "smart assistance", this is the only setting that is deactivated since I've made the reset.
So try to turn things off there and maybe I am right, if not do a hard reset (Do not forget to backup your data !!)
Have the same annoying bug on my Honor Note 8, must be something to do with Huawei's power management cause it seems to happen when battery goes below 10%. Restart seems to fix it every time
Hello,
I have the same bug on my Honor 8.
Does someone found a solution ? it's very annoying
Thanks!

You are my personal hero, PreDer!
I only deacticated all options in "smart assisstence" settings. Only Smart Key is activated. I did a partition cache wipe afterwards (no factory reset!) and now everything is working perfectly for last couple of days!

Hi, any update?
Same issue here, but today It reactivated the function by itself as it stopped working with gallery and google photo uploading.
I had anyway some movement options active in smart assistance, which I now have deactivated leaving only the smart cover option.
It is still working perfectly for me with only smart key activated in settings. No issues anymore so far...
Ok thanks, looks like mine too is working again.
Something like the error message of "Google....etc etc...impossible recording" whenever the microphone was used by an app, even taking movies. I then discovered that I had to deactivate the "Ok Google on every screen" option.
By the way, even if I wanted to wait for a massive test of the B380 upgrade, I found that my Honor 8 had downloaded automatically the upgrade, prompting me to reboot to install it, when I left it connected to my home wifi.
I can't find anyway to force it not to download system upgrades by itself, I have a very bad experience from iPad of unnecessary upgrades, is there a way to take control manually of system upgrades?
Actually I haven't seen any battery improvement after the upgrade to B380...
I have the same issue. I can confirm that the reboot fixed the problem. Will see how long befoe this bug comes back.

Rebooting fixes until smart assistance critical option forces the problem to come back. It might be a conflict with some particular app, but deactivating most of the smart options one at a time to see which one is the guilty will solve the issue.
Unfortunatly, reboot fixes the bug for me for only 5 or 6 days :/

As multiple times stated, rebooting is USELESS if you don't deactivate the smart option that fights with some of the apps!

I have smart assistance turned off and it still does this. I have only had the phone for a week. Any ideas how to stop it from doing this?
Bad issue
Hi guys,
Same issue wirh FRD-L09. It's very annoyng problem. Any news to fix it?
Hard reset solves only for one day
Thanks
So last night, I got the OTA update for Nougat on both my S7 phones.. Everything installed correctly, came up working fine, and seems great.. Except, when I go into the Camera and click on the settings cog wheel, on both phones, the settings comes up for like a split second and goes away back to the camera. It will not let me enter the camera settings at all.. I have cleared the Camera apps cache but still not coming up. Anyone else have this problem or know what I'm talking about? It's odd, and for a split sec, I can see that the video mode is at FHD which is the one thing I want to change..lol Thanks!
All is working for me. Try clearing cache. After a major update it's not a bad idea to factory reset the phone.
All works great for me as well
Sent from my SM-G930T using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Works fine for me as well. I didn't do the OTA update though. I downloaded the ODIN file and flashed from there.
Have you turned on any of options on developer option in settings? Especially, 'Don't keep activities' option..
Today I've got september security update and phone has been working fine for most of the day and then suddenly it started freezing on rotation. Either when it goes fullscreen or I rotate it, the screen freezes, can't turn off screen and either I hard restart or it does it itself after a minute.
I haven't updated or installed anything new besides the security update recently.
I wiped cache and when in safe mode it doesn't freeze, so I assume it's an app problem but is there any way to narrow down to which one it can be? In safe mode most are disabled and when I turn phone on all should be off and it still happens so I'm not sure how to diagnose this besides randomly uninstalling app by app.

I have the same problem. I have locked rotation to prevent freeze. hope someone can explain it
Did anyone find a fix for this? Just started happening to my Galaxy s8+ today also after an "1 January 2020" security update.

Temporary fix: when you need full screen, toggle on 'disable HW overlays' in developer options.
This will be resetted each reboot, so you need to enable it when you need manually.
