It seems my new archos 101 auto rotates all over the place. any issues from anyone else. it seems to want to go to landscape with the Archos 101 upside down. It seems to go to the position I am not looking at......
It seems my only solution it to turn off auto rotate which keeps it in landscape mode.

Have you tried to do the Accelerometer calibration?
You should place your device horizontal on a flat surface and use the Repair & Formatting -> Accelerometer calibration.

go to settings
then repair & formatting,
then accelerometer calibration and follow the instructions.
feel free to give me some thanks!!!
EDIT: oops someone else posted while i was sorry!
Also after calibration, I suggest getting the app "rotation toggler", I feel its a must have.

i have done this a few times thanks I did try that it seems right after I do that it flips upside down in portrait position. I will try rotation toggler...
Almost sounds like a faulty device if you have tried to recalibrate multiple times and are still getting the same results. Hope you have not done anything to void your warranty.
It seems to be fixed
Just an update I havent messed around with the 101 due to work but found on another board on another site that when calibrating put the archos flat on a level surface instead of on its side and shazam. IT WORKED no more flipping upside down in landscape mode. It has made me like this thing alot more.....

Not only that, but the proper procedure is stated in the manual.

As the title says my GFs 10.1 will go full brightness at random times. Only way to change it back is to go into setting. The slider is all the way down but have to slide it to full then back down. Any ideas guys?
The fix is: Go TO SETTINGS, SCREEN, AUTO ADJUST SCREEN POWER, UNCHECK. Thanks bd85!

I have had this issue as well when using auto brightness function. Only when viewing photo albums. Very annoying. I no longer use the auto brightness function now. Little issues like this drive me crazy. Add this to the keyboard lag and other small issues and i start to question the purchase.
Thankfully i found this site to help me realize its not just me...misery loves company. Lol.
Have you guys tried to shut off the option in setting that's can analyze the screen color and more and the adjust the screen for power savings.
I have noticed what you are mention. And it only appears in movie's because the picture change often so the tab tried to compensate the colors often.
Go TO SETTINGS, SCREEN, AUTO ADJUST SCREEN POWER, UNCHECK.
And I am not talking about the auto brightness that you can access from clicking on the lower right part of your screen

That seemed to be it. Didn't think to check that since the Xoom doesn't have that setting. One thing i wish the xoom had was the whole different wallpaper for lock screen thing the 10.1 has.
I have recently installed cyanogen on my desire and have found the mod to be an absolute joy to use. The one irritation however has been the automatic screen dimming. Every 6 or 7 seconds or so the screen dims itself. This can become very annoying when reading long messages or any other text. I have looked on lots of threads but have found no answer to my question. Surely there must be a simple solution to turn off this automatic dimming setting?
Thanks

I think....(not exactly sure) but that may be apart of the actual rom, if there is no setting under display then its probaly built in that way. Under settings/display you can change the screen time out if that help
reply
I've played around with all the settings myself and have so far been unsuccessful. Its not a problem really, just a bit annoying. I just find it hard to believe such an awesome mod doesn't have a simple off switch.
If anyone knows of a way to extend the screen dimming then that will help too.
I think what you're looking for is the Sleep setting. Go under Settings -> Display -> Sleep, and select a longer time interval if needed. Your current setting might be set to sleep after 15 seconds, causing the screen to dim at 6-7 seconds. Change it to maybe 1-2 minutes.
yes you can. Put the widget 'Power Control" on the home screen and you can do it easily from there. Thats how i do it.

Hello guys. My new S2 has a problem. When i activate Auto rotation it only works in landscape mode, but when i try to put it in portrait it doesn't work, no matter what position i rotate my phone in. I think the problem is the accelerometer sensor. How can i fix it?

The first thing for me to try is always a factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik and do full reset. 9 times out of ten this has fixed issues for me.
If it doesn't work then you can go into test mode on your phone and test the accelerometer. Open dial pad and dial *#0*#
That'll give you some idea if it's the accelerometer

dude plz helppp......................I have to keep auto rotate off.:crying::crying:
It will rotate Landscape, but won't return to portrait.
It wil flip Landscape on one side and Landscapeon the other side, but won't do portrait, till auto rotate is turned off.

I guess I could whack it and start over, but that blows! That would at least tell me something I guess.
It's really irritating. And I dont wat to do helpppp....:crying::crying::crying:

You both have to provide your ROM details.
Anyways, if you guys are running CM9, CM10 or any AOKP based Roms, then the instructions below should solve your problems:
1. Goto settings - Display
2. Under ROTATION, enable every option you find there.
All should be well if you the simple instructions.
If you have any more questions, do let me know

I'm on AOKP JB 4.2.2 MR1- Build 5 with my GT-i9100. When I try auto rotate after a reboot it works. 10 minutes later it won't work anymore but after some time it might work again and after that it's stuck in one position again. Calibrating my device doesn't help and I can't find anything else in settings that could help. Thanks in advance.
Bump, sorry if this is annoying but I want to respond in main AOKP channel, can't do it as I'm a ''junior'' member. I just need my answer

I have the same problem! Have officially 4.1.2. Any suggestion i will appreciate because it is so annoying and making me desperate.
Just to mention, in Camera mode, it is flipping normally from Landscape to Portrait and contrary.
my camera can`t stop rotating even with rotation and motion turned off.. i snap a picture holding the phone straight(portrait) and the pictures come randomly...one is upside down , the other is sideways. And i have the same problem with different roms? now i`m with alliance rom 7.3 and before that i was with chamelion rom

I have exact same problem.Have you found the solution?
Perhaps recalibration can sort this out.

An easy fix for me on rotation issue
Hey i had the same issue as well, and i followed some of the other instructions in trying to wipe my cache and factory reset to fix the isse, nothing happened my sensors were still off when i tested it and i could put it to landscape, but i could not get it back to portrait. and i also tried some other suggestions as well. Finally i decided i was going to live with it until i found this app call (auto rotate widget) by jason hull, i would post a link but i just registered.
Some how this app fixed my phone and all i did was install it, i never touched any of the settings and now my sensors are back to normal and the phone is rotating perfect now.
-12/7/15 Update -
LG's online chat feature was of no help either. I was told to utilize autobrightness, turn off battery saver, and factory data reset phone. No other options were given except to exchange the device. 3 years these phones have auto dimming problems, and 3 years no answers.
love this phone, but experiencing a strange screen brightness issue.
i do not use auto brightness. Any time i ever put my brightness over 50%, the screen dims itself 5 seconds after unlocking.
but when it's at exactly 50%, it does not dim.
Can anybody help me with this? 50% is bright enough but would like to have it higher without watching it dim like 5%.
anybody? I've had 2 v10's now thru AT&T, i don't know why I'm the only one having this problem

Go to settings, display, brightness.
Make sure the auto brightness box is unchecked.

As it said in my original post, I do not use auto brightness.
Guys, this has been an issue with the G3 as well as the G4. There is simply no way that this is not some sort of widespread issue that everyone else thinks is normal.
Is there some way to override the auto dim? Why is LG the only company that seems to struggle with this feature?

I get that you said that.
But there's two ways to turn it on and off.
And there could be a fault with the pull down menu one.
Or the other way around.
It's a suggested thought, to give a try.

It doesn't work. Nothing seems to work. Lux brightness doesn't even work.
Is your phone rooted?
What is your Screen Timeout set to? Maybe its only set for 10 or 15 seconds so when you unlock the screen the timer thinks its ready to start turning off the screen due to no activity. Just a suggestion.

It's not just your phone or LG that's having that problem and I know this is a older thread but I have a ZTE zMAX Pro and every now and then mines dims after I unlock it. Very annoying because I don't even know what it is that makes it stop doing it. I press in on the screen and sometimes it comes in but I don't know what that's about. And it hasn't always done that it just started the last couple of days.
Use Yet Another Auto Brightness aka YAAB, set max and min brightness both to 50%, start the service and you're all set
