Yesterday I was messing with my camera & I noticed now my landscape view won't work... Not sure if the 2 are tied together? But screen rotation will not work for nothing. Any suggestions?

Do the hardware test and make sure it isn't your gyroscope. Every time, on any phone, that mine quit working it was because the gyroscope failed. It isn't worth replacing that part of the hardware. These phones can be found cheap on cl. Or use a rotation app that forces rotation. Annoying as hell.

A stock HOX? You can't rotate the home screen by default in Sense. You need an app like Rotation Locker to force Sense to rotate. Are you having issues in any apps?

I can't rotate anyscreen. ex. gallery, browser. I try Rotation Locker. when ı chose landscape ı work, but chose auto only portrait mode can use. ı read somethings about this issue forums. this is issue maybe
You cant rotate anything? Maybe you just clicked auto-rotate off by accident. Go to settings, displays and gestures and see if auto-rotate is on

Oh wow, you did say that :silly: If the issue is with the g-sensor maybe you can get a replacement
My problem solved but i dont know how i wait 1 week, then try calibrate G-sensor and it work. now my screen rotating :good:
Hi all,
I know some of you faced similar problems with other phones in the past but I just wanna know if it is a software bug or an actual hardware issue so that I can return my handset and get it fixed.
Auto Rotate kinda acts strangely. Doesn't even respond properly and the orientation remains locked. I tried using different launchers hoping it would fix the issue somehow. Nothing seems to work and the strange thing is, while facing this issue, I opened CPU Z to check if the sensors are working properly or not but to my surprise, the sensors are not reading any data. After a restart, all seems to work fine including rotation. But again after a few hours, the same issue occurs. Any fix guys??

Is your smart rotate on? Switch it off to get normal rotation
I suppose factory reset is a last resort. If you still have issues exchange.
Same problem. Z3 autorotate stupidly (does not switch to landscape automatically and then when I want it back to portrait it remains landscape, have to disable rotation). By the way Smart Rotate feature is bugged.
@unmaskedfalesh yes....its turned on. Yet it doesnt work most of the times.
@bel57 yep dude...same problem here....
@abhinav.tella yes I will do that. thank you

I'm not sure if your"..." And statement were meant to be condescending but it came off that way. This suggestion was already made and it didn't help me, don't know about the others.
Has anyone had this issue with their GS6?
I'll use my GS6 as my GPS and while driving, the screen will rotate 180 degrees. I'm now looking at an upside down map. It's done this with Waze and Google Maps. After a while it'll do the same thing and flip back to rightside up. If I don't, I'll have to rotate the screen back to potrait mode before rotating it back to landscape. I've done some research on Google and haven't found any results, only that the GS6 Edge had a rotation problem, but it doesn't seem related. None of my other apps mimic this behavior.
nm - sorry

I thought of that but it was occurring while I was at a standstill. The odd thing is that it was occurring every 3 minutes.
Just got a new Mate 8 this week, and after not having a smart phone to use since 2010, I'm really liking what I'm seeing so far with my limited exposure . . . even fine with the stock EMUI interface too.
One thing I noticed right away was the phone's inability to rotate a full 360°. Left and right horizontal rotation is fine, as well as the normal vertical, but try to go inverted, and the screen did not rotate at all for the home screen or for any app I tried. Funny, because I actually had a Chinese phone back in 2008 called an i9, which had the same rotation issue for only the inverted position.
I tried turning auto rotation On and Off, rebooting, etc., but no help. I did not try any hard reset on the phone, but I did go to Google Play and installed a rotation app called Set Orientation. When running, using the app's Automatic (full) rotation setting, the phone now rotates properly to the inverted position on the home screen as well as the few apps I tried so far. This made me happy that the hardware doesn't seem to be the issue with it not rotating inverted.
I did a forum search for rotation issues, and did not see any threads for this specific issue.
So has anyone else had this partial rotation issue and maybe an easy fix for it?
Also, I was wondering if there might be any downsides to having to always rely on an app like this, as maybe it won't always be compatible with other apps which may need to have the screen rotate to the inverted position?
Thanks,

If I seem to remember correctly, even the 6p didn't rotate a full 360 degrees. I actually think it is app dependant. I use this rotation control.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pranavpandey.rotation

Yes, I'm already using a rotation control app that has worked to allow inverted vertical rotation too, but I'm wondering why you believe it's not a bug, but possibly only about app dependency if it does full 360° rotation ?
I have to admit I haven't been too well up to date on Android devices and apps for at least 4 years now, and I know some apps want to prevent certain screen orientation settings, forcing the view in certain modes. However, it seems like some software setting is out of kilter, or even a bug to me for this particular partial rotation issue, not just about app dependency.
For instance, why would the home screen, with auto rotation turned on in the settings, allow for rotation to both horizontal positions, the normal portrait position, but not allow for an inverted portrait rotation?
Also, for even the internet browser apps, which from what I recall for several other Android tablets I owned years ago, they would all allow rotation to all screen positions for 360° when rotation was turned on, with this phone it wouldn't allow inverted portrait rotation, that is, not until I installed the Set Orientation app and used it. Do Chrome and Firefox for Android typically not allow for inverted portrait viewing unless forced by an orientation app or rooting the device to change system settings?
I did find that using the Set Orientation app it interferes with the factory installed camera app display when using the phone in either horizontal position, so I need to disable it when using the camera to take landscape images.
It isn't a huge issue, just a minor inconvenience (along with a couple others) which I came across but can certainly live with, because I'm really enjoying the phone so far for the most part.

Look at the phone/dialer App. I don't even think that allows any horizontal rotation or full rotation. Almost all lock screens on different phones don't allow rotation either unless you have a custom ROM installed. I just don't think it's a bug . I think it's done like that for a reason, good or bad. I think it may be a phone restriction because I think my Nexus 9 allows full rotation on some apps. You just might have to live with it.
I think the home screen doesn't rotate 360 degrees because who views phone stuff upside down?
For example, I had 360 rotation turned on for my phone/dialer app and if your laying down the App will go inverted . If the proximity sensor isn't quick enough and doesn't turn off your screen, you might hit the hangup button like I did one time.
Look, Netflix is landscape only.

On a device with small and relatively symmetrical bevels on the top and bottom like the Mate 8, or my previous LG G4, it's very handy to just pick up the phone and use it, irrelevant of the orientation.
I never use the power button and/or fingerprint scanner so a simple double (or on the Mate 8 usually triple) tap wakes up the device and hey presto, use it as it is. Is it the "right way round"? Great. Was it upside down? Does not matter, use it like this for now as well.
So for that reason I would also like to have an upside down possibility (haven't installed xposed yet as I find the need for it not great enough, for now). Other than that I find not a lot of real disadvantages of having the possibility anyway.
Note: not all apps worked as planned upside down but the dialer, homescreen, browsing, etc. made no difference regarding holding the phone
Hi, anyone know how to make this auto rotation not so sensitive? I noticed that if you tilt it only for a second it would rotate... Or is there any setting that can be tweak say if tilt over 2 seconds then only the screen will rotate.... Thanks...
Completely agree with this. Most sensitive I've noticed on a phone probably ever. To the point where if I put it down on my desk or go to pick it up, the screen would rotate. Ended up having to turn off auto rotate.
Would love to find a way to reduce the sensitivity.
3rd party apps would solve that but don't want to install another apps just for the auto rotation.. I ve tried calibrate the gyroscope still the same...
Same here.
The orientation is too sensitive, but also buggy, plus when it goes to landscape uunwantedingly, it sometimes crashes google search when trying to scroll through the results.

Update to android 11 it will fix the problem, the update is pretty stable though.
