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.....

ok here is the problem my screen wont rotate did a soft and hard reset and all only time it switches view are when i'am in the andriod market ,netflix and so forth ,but at the home screen everything is the long way now it cool when iam reading my book or my comic books and i think i can deal with it but i do like it when its the other way too any help with this problem would be great
Did you check settings, screen and auto rotate?
Or did you lock your screen with a setting in one of the launchers?
And how did you get your market and Netflix to rotate? Mine doesn't.

You need to be a bit more informative about the problem brother. Things like what model do you have( wifi only, 4G...) are you running a stock unrooted Tab or are you rooted and running a custom rom, if so which rom and are you using the stock launcher or a 3rd party one??? It'll help us to figure out what's going on.
Now after rereading your post a few times this is what I'm understanding. When you say "long ways" I'm assuming you mean portrait... right? That would mean that your Tab is stuck in portrait (longer from top to bottom and shorter from side to side) and the only time it jumps to landscape is when you go to Apps that are written to automatically switch to landscape when opened, like the Market and Netflix. You also say that you've done a soft rest (meaning completely powered off your Tab) and did a hard rest (meaning you did a factory rest) am I right so far???
If I'm on the right track with what I've posted above and this is assuming that your running a stock unrooted Tab and the stock TW launcher you could very well have a bad accelerometer. That's the sensor in side of our Tabs that tell it how your holding it. If you did a factory rest (hardrest) then that should have reset your Tab it exactly how it was when you took it out of the box. And auto rotation would be set on by default.
Go to settings> screen> and make sure you have "auto rotate screen" checked.
Hit us back with some more info so we can try and help out a bit more.

Hey SouthPhilly...
I noticed this thread suddenly stopped.
I am having the exact same issue, and have done a reset to factory on my device and the screen still does not rotate unless forced to by an app.
Just wondering if you were going to launch in to a possible solution.
thanks.

I'm wondering the same thing here. I have the same issue with my GTab 7510..bleh!
wipe cache.
sometimes it works
The close tab "x" in the stock browser is not working most of the time when in landscape orientation. I have to turn the tablet to portrait orientation to be able to close the tab.
I installed multitouch test apps and they are able to track my fingertips over the entire display perfectly so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?

I dont know what happened but my Galaxy S3 can tilt from Portrait to landscape while in Homescreen this morning.
But now when I tried it again it does not do it anymore, I did not restart the phone or anything. I'm on stock TW and not rooted.
Am I missing something here why I cant do it anymore? Take note that currently the screen rotation is still turned on.
I had the same issue on samsung tab and have been said by the samsung tech team to recalibrate the tab , tried it and got it resloved.
got the issue again after tried the stap again no luck, tech guys said I need to do a factory rest and that fixed the issue.
Hi mate, currently in my case my homescreen is still in portrait mode . But I'm just wondering why can i adjust it a while ago to landscape mode while I'm in home screen but now I cant.
The only difference is I'm connected to my wifi router a while ago and now I'm not connected to it.
Take note that I did not use any MHL adapter (I read somewhere else that using MHL will enable that functionality).
Hmm. maybe a bug. But that was cool

When you say the 'issue' is the issue that it was rotating or that it wasn't? Is the homescreen supposed to rotate? I'm trying to decide if I should get a GS3 or a GNex today and I'm not familiar with how touch wiz normally operates.
What do you mean by Homescreen? The screen you get when you have unlocked the phone? If so then mine has never tilted into landscape mode and is always in Portrait, is this not suppose to be the case?
@Claytop
Yes mate. But right now it's not going to landscape anymore. Don't know why. I guess its a bug. hmmm

sorry for my ignorance, I never saw the default homescreen rotate in landscape mode. but in the tab both default homescreen and application homescreen rotate.
can other users confirm if the default homescreen tilt/rotate in landscape mode??
I am going ok with the touchwiz if you need a faster response probably you need to root and put in some good rom.

I believe that's the normal operation in the homescreen because no one replied experiencing same scenario I mentioned
Iv installed a sikipedia widget and when i click it the home screen goes to landscape mode...
would very much like to have this as a standard.
It's better to factory reset the device. If u still face the issue, try going with roms. It may get better.

Calibrate motion in settings. If this does not work then do a factory reset

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.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?
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

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.
Hello,
I got a G9 101 8GB version from a friend of mine. Almost everything is working fine (except touchscreen going crazy at times, registering touch on place where it did not happen, or eveen when not touching the tablet at all). But the big annoyance is that my brightness control is not working.
I can slide the slider around as much as I want to, it does not change the brightness. And because the screen has the biggest power consumption, this is really annoying, as the brightness is set at max.
Tried serching on this topic, found nothing.
I have reseted the tablet to factory settings, updated it, nothing helped. Any ideas? Thanks.
For your touch screen issue is it the same as this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912138
Have you tried any 3rd party apps to see if they are able to adjust brightness ?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
Thank you for replying.
The touchscreen issue is a bit different, it occurs only occasionally and only in corner (ie it pushes back or "menu", depending how I hold the tablet). That is not a big issue now as it occurs sparely.
The brightness control is persistent. I tries some apps and widgets for brightness control, I can do what I want, it wont dim down . Any suggestions?
Also I would like to be reassurd - Archos has 1,5A AC charger, am I right?
Thanks.

If you got terminal emulator or adb installed you can go "ghetto" and adjust the value in the sysfs, try "su -c 'echo 50 > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness'". needs root obviously and it's far from ideal but it will get the job done.

Thanks. Today the weirdest thing happened, I was playing a game and the screen dimmed a bit. At first I was like oh no, it is broken.. But now, the brightness control just works. Absolutely no idea what happened.
Now if I could figure out the ghost touches, they occur only, or better said mostly (90%) after starting the devide from sleep and only in the right down corner. After I mutlitouch the device many times it stops. Lol.
Anyway, really thanks for trying to help me. Appreciated.
