Hi forum, sorry if this was already mentioned... After updating to B407 or even B406 I experience that my screen won't rotate as I rotate device(auto rotate option is ON), reboot fixes that problem temporary but after some time bug appears again. I am just asking is this just my device or is there someone else experiencing this. Thanks

just flashed latest KatKiss rom, its very fast, but I cannot seem to get thescreen to rotate. I have auto-rotation turned on, tried on and off, but no luck. Any ideas?
Welcome to the forum!
are you docked? If so, it wont rotate. You must be undocked and it should work just fine. If not, perhaps your accelerometer is broken. Use CPU-Z from the Play Store to look at the feedback from your accelerometers.
Sorry I was away for a while... No not docked...
I ended up installing an App from the store... Acreen Rotation Control and setting it to Auto and now everything works fine. Not sure why I had to do that, but it's working and that is good enough for me.
Thanks.

I'm having the same issue. I "solved" as you did, but it kind you sucks in my opinion. I'm using 4.3 build 020.
I'd suggest uninstalling the app and then getting a logcat (see the how to report link in the KatKiss thread) and send that to Tim to see what is preventing rotation.
Only 2 users out of probably 5k+ users have reported this issue.
for me some apps are just "sideways apps". what can you do? I just use rotation locker for that portrait mode. not sure what else to do. :sly:
Yeah, but mine has been rock solid since flashing and using the Screen Rotation Control app.
mmm...

Got similar behaviour.
Using KatKiss 4.4.2 #23 -- it can rotate the screen, but when I try to lock it in the desired position (using the "quick tile") the tile briefly flashes and the screen gets on landscape mode again.
I see it's not related to the tile, since the same happens if I get to the rotation settings on Android's "Configurations". Tried using a program from Google Play to set it (sorry, can't remember its name) and it didn't work either.
Hoping @timduru may take a look at this...

Thanks, but that's exactly the one I tried -- didn't work unfortunately.
Well, just tried latest version, KK 4.4.2_r2 #024, still no luck.
So here are the three asked logfiles.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
Autorotation is enabled, and I'm using the tablet in landscape mode. Turned it right (ie, counter-clockwise), worked as it should (screen rotated).
Then I opened the "tiles menu" (the one in the right upper corner, below the clock) and pressed the rotation tile.
It briefly changes to the "locked” icon, but turns again to the "normal" one and puts the tablet again in landscape mode!
Interesting enough, the menu remains opened but the icon is seen as the "locked" one.
By the way -- tested undocked.
Many thanks @timduru -- apart that it's an outstanding ROM. Hope to hear you soon. :good:
Update: auto-rotation working as expected on KatKiss 4.4.2 version #026, no additional software needed -- many thanks @timduru!
Hi,
I recently updated my TF101 to KatKiss 6.0.18. Since then, have the same problem with screen not rotating. Tried installing several applications that should rotate, but this does not solve the problem.
Tried also the "dropping the tablet" trick recommended by some on Google, but this also without any success. With the Check Sensor app, values remain to 0. Everything was fine beforehand with KK 4.4.
Any hint ?
Thanks
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.
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 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
When I wake up the cell phone it gives a bug
I have this problem I don't know why
I thought it was the September update, but I installed the October patch and the same thing happens
I think it's root. Has anyone had this problem? Do you know how to solve?
I've already tried changing the unlock type
Video of what's happening
This problem only does not happen when I leave the option always display active
Edit: I just installed the clean flash from the rom stock and it still has the same problem
resoved:
well i think i figured out what causes this bug on the lock screen. I tested several things, uninstalled LSxposed, root, applications etc. But nothing solved. So I put in gesture navigation as I only use buttons. And that was it, after I put the gesture navigation there was no more problems
