I've been using the Rotation Control app since I got the Pixel 3 to allow for complete 360 rotation of my phone, but since I upgraded to Android 10 the it'll randomly refuse to go into reverse portrait mode until I reboot. I've tried force closing, clearing cache and data, and tried the XDA recommended Rotation app with the same exact results. Can anyone help?

Hi All,
The camera crashes sometimes and I have to force close it. When I try to open it again, it displays a black screen for 2 seconds with maximum brightness then kicks me back to my home page.
I have disabled Geotagging and going to Settings -> Applications -> Manage
Clearing the camera data
Clearing the cache
Force stopping & reopening the camera app. does not resolve the problem.
I need to restart my phone in order for it to start working again.
Does anyone know of another way to revive the camera after it crashes without having to restart?
Thanks.
I'll assume that camera worked properly when you installed the rom. If that is the case, just flash the SAME rom on top of it, without wiping anything, and you should be fine.
Thanks for the response strahota.
I'm running InsertCoin 3.4.0 and not having any problems with the camera or ROM itself, but rather a third-party application that will sometimes crash the camera and prevent the camera app. from being opened again until I restart.
Just would like to know if there's anyone out there that knows of a way to restart the camera without restarting the phone?
Thanks.
bump, hoping someone can help...
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.

Hi everyone,
I have a Nexus 5, which is completely stock with locked bootloader. I am running the latest Android 6.0 with the Nov 2015 security patch.
I noticed a couple of days ago that my torch had stopped working. Also when I try the camera I get the 'Can't connect to the camera' error.
I tried clearing app cache for camera app, and this did not work
I tried clearing all cache through settings, and this did not work
I rebooted, and this did not work
I tried a 3rd party torch app, and this did not work (uninstalled)
I tried a 3rd party camera app, and this did not work (front camera briefly worked but then also errored if I tried to take a pic. Uninstalled)
I tried safe mode, in case it was a third party app causing the issue, and this did not work
I then tried wiping cache through recovery, and this did work, but only for a short time - after an hour the issue returned.
Sometime just after rebooting and then starting the camera app I get a garbled view instead of the error (screenshot attached) and can briefly switch to the front camera, but if I take a pic it errors again.
Has anyone got any idea as to what could be causing the issues?
Thanks!
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..
Hi all,
I've been experiencing an issue with my Pixel 2 where the screen is occasionally, and seemingly without rhyme or reason, not rotating to landscape view. It basically gets stuck in portrait mode despite having "auto-rotate" enabled and the only way to resolve is to reboot. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a sensor I need to calibrate? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Same. Stock, rooted with Magisk, running Substratum.
Same but i dont have to reboot, just toggle it from quick settings. Also it sometimes takes several swipes to unlock the phone. Not most of the time, but sometimes. Mostly after the screen has been off for an extended period of time.

For me, it doesn't matter toggling it in quick settings, or even the settings app. It won't rotate unless a fullscreen video or game forces it. After exiting, the screen stays landscape until I toggle off rotation, it snaps back to portrait, then won't leave portrait again, regardless of how many times I toggle autorotation.
Same here. Rotation stops working randomly, and toggling the quick setting does nothing. Only rebooting helps. Phone is completely stock.
Ditto. Just started happening recently for me. Especially annoying when using Android Auto. A restart fixes things for a while, then it goes back to this. Mine is stock as well.
Pixel 2 auto rotate
Mine shuts off randomly and I have to switch it back on
Same problem here too. Yes a reboot does fix, don't know for how long though.
Anyone ever find a way to resolve this? Just started happening on my Pixel 2 XL. It's completely stock. Autorotation is enabled. Super annoying.
