I have tried the tes snsor page an it passes, i have tried a fctory reset and cleared cache and still no avail.
is there a glitch in the os i downloaded?
help aprecated as its driving me mad.
Thanks

Been told seen as the galaxy 2 came on gingerbread, is it worth putting that firmware back on to see if it could sort this problem out? As it seems there is bug with jellybeen.

Anyone?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
just installed ICS 4.0.3
sorry to go on. i have just installed ICS 4.0.3 (cleared cache and did factory reset as per guide here) and upon start up to my surprise, auto rotate is still getting stuck! i have notice on camera or say messages when on landscape mode. if i tap the back of my phone after a few taps it will go the right way roun
d,also on camera pictures will come the right way up. This is baffling me now. There was nothing wrong with my phone when i got it few month ago.
Is it the hardware at fault (i have dropped it but in a rubber /plastic case) the odd times.
what would you suggest now?
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?

No it doesn't work in chrome or any other apps that support it thats the issue.
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.
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
Its arrived at last , and before April too ..
Can confirm, this is Nougat (7.0) with the security patch of 1st February.
I'll try to find some big differences on the settings..
Oh, and before I forget. Welcome everyone, I just got this phone yesterday. Switching from a Zenfone 2, I hope I'll get a good battery life like almost everyone, and try to participate as most as possible.
EDIT : Which topic we should use? This one or https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/p2a42s23217030row-t3580293
Gmail is 100% crashing on my side
EDIT 2 : I received a mail and it didn't crash anymore. Weird
I'm not sure I can recommend anyone upgrading to this yet....my phone has become very laggy and stuttering in different apps....it got better after I cleared the cache and a soft reset, but I guess it will be a few bug-fixes in the near future. I know that maybe a factory reset will be the solution, but I haven't got the time at the moment...
Which ROM variant were people on to get this ota update? I'm on UK three and there is no sign of it. Could be that three have to mess with the rom first, or a staggered roll out.
Build: P2a42_S056_161130_UK
Edit, ok attached screen shows s062. Rest of world.
Is there an easy safe way to swap from three to generic ROW ROM? Don't want to root or lose warranty.
Looks like after the update quickcharging has stopped working

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70965471&postcount=8 don't know if this void warranty, its factory image firmware but they will see that you phone was on three network and now have ROW firmware, ask at you mobile network provider
Will Row have different modem etc. So potentially different performance or will it be identical minus 3 bloatware. I'm always reluctant to install ROMs not available direct from manufacturer from online because of risk of malware... Is this link a trusted source?
the Update is great, after factory reset...
All looking good here and battery only dropped 4% so far with 1 hour SOT
my phone is the 3 UK version . I flashed over to S048 then upgraded to S062 . Installed TWRP and tried a few custom ROMS but went back to stock ROM to see if i could get Nougat update and I did . Havent looked to see if minor bugs are fixed yet but youtube sync seems to be fine .
The noise cancellation system is not so aggressive in loud environment
Still can't use LED notification from third party application in Nougat...
i expected Launcher, Camera app , themes support UPGRADES
they just upgraded from 6.0.1 to 7.0 , by leaving the apps as it is , its a kind of disappointment , they might have at least included a BETTER launcher,
Hope they upgrade their APPS also to next level, mainly that CAMERA
Many apps are force closing. Any ideas to fix these issues? Thanks!
There is a second launcher hidden called VIBEUI . long press on screen and you get to select wallpaper , widgets , preference or settings from the menu at bottom of screen . press preference and that takes you to homescreen settings . press default launcher and you can choose between VIBEUI or android ( stock launcher ) . Although vibeui seems very limited

I cleared the cache, and restarted the phone, after that I had no problems anymore.
the battery drain is faster than marshmallow in 6h i loose 14% usually i loose 6-7% ...
Has anyone noticed the 'nightmode' now totally sucks? In 6.0.1 it doesn't distort the colour just significantly dims screen. In 7.0 it doesn't dim at all, just changes to a sepia tone!! Why did they change that function! YouTube audio sync appears fixed and the os feels smooth and snappy.
Few annoying quirks like once quick draw is open some items don't switch on/off with single press.
DPI change option are available in Developer options...??
Yeah, I noticed. I downloaded the "Night mode for Lenovo" app from the play store, but it's kind of lame to have to rely on an app for functionality that was baked in 6.0.1.

Yeah feel annoyed as other than this functionality, everything else is either better or simply different. Oh well... EDIT found a great work around. It remembers the brightness level in two states, with auto and without auto. I will just set the brightness to lowest with auto off and then disabling auto, will give me my 'night' mode.
This is really boggling my noodle. Last month I flashed my phone from G930T to G930U. No problems up until Friday when I went to take a picture and found my camera app kept crashing - weird. After much troubleshooting, I decided I've had enough and factory reset the phone. Seemed to be fine, got everything setup, BOOM, problem is back. After painstakingly going through the restore process again slowly, I found that the problem is coming from the camera and Samsung Gallery interaction. If all photos are in the DCIM folder, there is no problem. The moment I download a picture via the internet or Facebook, or I take a screenshot of my phone, since those pictures fall outside of DCIM (into the Pictures, Download, or Screenshot folders), the camera app crashes. It definitely seems like a cache issue with gallery/media storage, but no matter how many times I clear them, once the cache rebuilds, the problem returns. I've always had pictures outside of DCIM without issue and my wife, who has the same phone and I flashed the same G930U image on, has no problems.
Any possible ideas because I am completely at a loss?!
Update the gallery app from apkmirror?

Tried, but it says it conflicts with a version already installed. I can't confirm it is the Gallery app specifically, but it is definitely somehow the camera and gallery are interacting for the cached pictures.

Enable secure startup in lockscreen settings, reboot, install apk again
If it's already enabled, disable it and reboot, the exploit just requires the switch to be toggled and phone rebooted, then package conflicts don't occur

That was sneakily awesome. Installing it that way worked, but unfortunately did not fix my problem.
I went to my last resort and reflashed the G930U files through Odin, and then updated it via the OTA before I did any additional setup, and that seemed to fix the issue. I have absolutely no idea what was wrong with it.

Ah well, at least it's fixed, and you learned a new trick in the process
:good:
So OTA seems to fix it in the 930U firmware?
