you mean keep it from rotating? it's in the top right menu area dropdown.
Decrease Accelerometer sensitivity?
Anyone know how to decrease the accelerometer sensitivity? I find that the auto rotation is very sensitive especially when in portrait mode. I looked in preware and could not find any patches. I know i could turn off screen rotation but I really don't want to be forced to turn it off.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
TIA
o i second this... it's a pain sometimes...
+1.
I had to turn it off at the moment as it is really too sensitiv.

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.
Hi,
Since a couple of days I've noticed that my screen flickers sometimes.
Mostly when I'm moving my hand while holding the phone...
Is it possible that the light sensor auto adjusts my screen brightness ?
If so, how can I turn it off ?
Thanks in advance,
Niels
If you have rooted the phone, you can install Disable Auto Brightness for Xperia phones. or you can disable it manually editing the file /ect/hw_config.sh.
Search the forum for the tutorial
Thanks for your answer !
So unless you start rooting or changing files there's no way to stop the flickering ?
Unfortunately, no. By the way, this problem usually affects st15 models... as far as i know, you've been unlucky
Okay, I'm sure now that it's really because of the lightsensor and not just a problem with my screen.
I was standing near a window and when I put my finger on the lightsensor a few times the brightness was clearly automaticly adjusted...
I'll look for the tutorial, thanks for the info !
Other solutions, if any, are still welcome though

Hey, my ST15i does also automatically adjust the brightness....it's not a problem mate When i am outdoors the screen get brighter but when i am indoors my screen automatically gets darken
Yes I now, but I find it annoying, it gets flickery sometimes..
I want the screen to stay on the brightness I've set.
today I was wondering why this phone doesnt have auto brightness adjustment feature, because I have to manually turn brightness to zero when using phone while on bed at night. I looked into settings and no such feature found, I wonder the light sensor actually works
Yes it does, I've tested it.
Try standing near a window or holding it near a lamp and put your finger on the sensor... (The screenbrightness may not be set to 0 if you try this..)
I too find it strange that there's no possibility to set the auto adjust on/off..
Niels
I don't think there is any auto-brightness option in LWW as I've not found any. if there were any then they would have provided an check box option turn it on/off. but the brightness ups and downs happens to me to specially when i've put the brightneww to lowest level at night. could not explain myself.
yup it works (just checked thru window operation )

The fact that you can't turn it on/off doesn't mean it doesn't work. Actually, the auto-brightness is always on. You can disable it manually editing /etc/hw_config.sh or using the app Disable Auto Brightness Xperia. You need root anyway.
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
auto rotat pro
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.

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.
When using my phone sometimes ill notice the brightness level flicker. It's usually on white backgrounds.
It happened on the stock ROM but it's also happening on dual cores ROM.
Is it something to do with automatic brightness? Does anyone know?
Cheers

Yep this is due to the Automatic Brightness. Seems to be worse under florescent lights as the software tries and auto adjust in real time. I think I saw a mod in the forum somewhere but I cant find it now. It adjust using an average instead of directly.

If anyone knows where this mod is I'll greatly appreciate it.
Anyone? Auto-brightness is annoying.
Been batling with this problem for so long and it's really annoying. my HTC Droid DNA Auto Rotate aint working at all, no matter how i flip and flip, it will just not work. even when i check Auto Rotate in Settings, the problem still persist.
But i noticed that the Auto Rotate Widget size is 0kb; could this be the cause??
someone should please help me out:crying::crying:
