[Q] Can't use screen while talking - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

While using stock ROMs up to 360 works fine. Every custom ROM or 40* ROMs cause these problem.
Once sensor was covered while call, display locks and doesn't unlocks until someone on the other side hang-up.
I've allready tried to wipe cache and reset everything. Calibration doesn't help too.
PS Sorry for my bad english.

It's a known problem, however some have reported that if you rotate the device from portrait to landscape (or vice versa) that it "unlocks" the screen.

It realy helps, thanks!
Did anyone figured out what is the reason of it? Is there a fix?

As far as I know, there is not a fix for it. We are stuck with this workaround for now.

Fortunately, I've found kind of a solution.
I've noticed, that if phone shows you any kind of notifications, display unlocks right.
So i searched an app that will show some. And it works!
For me cure is - "Notification Airtime" app (Free and available in market).
Hope it will be useful.

[MiniCM7Pro v21] Problem with symbols on default text imput

Hi
Another problem... again... android... always some problem with it.
When i press "sym-au" key on phisical keyboard and scroll all the way down it freezes and stays there. It is possible to disable it, but it wont move, or clicking in any symbol has no effect completely unresponsive.
On virtual keyboard the same... blocking and unblocking device helps also restart. But its frustrating to remember about it. Is it any solution ? On stock rom there was no such problem.

Scroll the last part slowly (scroll it with your finger, don't fling it), it will stay responsive, if it does freeze, doing a rotation from landscape to portrait will make it respond again.

NO, that ROM won't get any updates anymore, and the issue is present on just about all roms, apart from the original stock firmware. If it was easy to fix someone would have done that already, i guess, so i won't hold my breath.
Just think of it whenever you need something that's near the bottom, it's not that hard to live with.

Auto Rotation problem

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.

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.

[Q] CM10 Lockscreen

Been trying to find a solution for this, but no luck so far.
I installed CM10 on my tab today (wifi) and everything seems solid, but for some reason, the lockscreen is always in landscape mode, even when I am holding the device in portrait. I have autorotate on, and the screen properly rotates when I am using the device, but in the lockscreen, it is stuck in landscape mode.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thank you
buummmpppp. anyone with some info or a solution?

Had the same problem with (the otherwise perfect rom!) and found not so much a sollution but a kinda a "brute" workaround:
Look in GP for an app called "Ultimate Rotation Control". I gives you rotation control over as good as any application on your tablet, including the lockscreen.
It works great for me although the app itself seems to stay in the background (but I did not notice any lag due to it). Also it seems you 'll have to pay for it since it has a 7 days timer on it (not sure what happens after the trial but I bet it'll ask you to get a license for 1,99 EUR)
In short:
It does the job, but it seems a little overkill for thisproblem

[Q] Wallpaper stuck on landscape after unplugging from Lapdock

...yes I STILL use the Lapdock
Anyway, after I remove my phone from the Lapdock it freezes and goes crazy for a few seconds as usual, but this time as well as others it seems to have left the wallpaper in a landscape orientation, even when I turn my phone upright for protrait orientation.
Have a look:
http://i.imgur.com/nbCcBtA.png
http://i.imgur.com/RjZsXsk.png
What is especially wierd is what you see on the second .png when I try to change the wallpaper to see if that does anything, the selector square has turned into a rectangle as if the phone was still on landscape. The icons, widgets and all else do rotate, just not the wallpaper. I am left with no other options as the settings for wallpaper on stock 2.3.6 leaves me only the option to change the backgroind image and it seems that I am the only one on the interwebs that is posting this issue.
The ROM and kernel is stock, I am using ADW Launcher but I am certain that that is not the culprit, I removed it but the problem persisted. I am also using Ubuntop 1.1 something or other but I doubt that is a culprit either.
Any ideas? Thanks so much in advance.

What happens after a battery pull?
Are you able to access recovery with the stock rom? just thinking about a dalvik wipe or a data wipe/factory reset? (maybe some bits of software not acting properly and a reset might help)
I don't have any experience with the Lapdock but maybe it is a software glitch?

The problem persists after a battery pull and re-insertion. Since it wasn't the VERY first thing I did, recovering the img of the current rom didn't work as the problem occurred BEFORE I saved a backup, although the problem DOES go away when do a from-scratch recovery using a fruitcake system/kernel/webtop img.
So would wiping the Dalvik cache not mess up my setup or anything? I may consider doing that as I'm not looking forward to doing a clean wipe every time this problem happens, and it happens VERY easily.
Thanks
Wiping Dalvik won't change any settings or cause any problems and it might help.
I am still thinking that your problem is a software glitch - one workaround might be to fix the wallpaper in the 'horizontal' position by unticking the 'auto-rotate' setting (not sure if this would effect your lapdock experience though )
One last workaround would be to reinstall your Rom without a data wipe (so all your settings/apps are still there) and see if that helps.

Dalvik cache is wiped and the wallpaper orientation option was ticked and un ticked but the problem STILL remains. I suppose my next step is to re-flash the ROM, but I'm hoping that doing so won't wipe and restore webtop to stock (it's on Ubuntop instead).
Here's another kicker! I don't have this problem on LIVE wallpapers, orientation works just fine there, only on static wallpapers am I seeing this issue.
Anyway, I've looked into debugging the display on the native OS to try to a fix together, I'll see how that goes...
How do other apps behave? Also stuck on landscape or not?
I'm thinking it could be a launcher issue after all if that's the only place where this is happening.

Thanks for the feedback,
The behavior of the other apps are good, no issue with them whatsoever.
I have already uninstalled ADW launcher and stayed stock for a few hours and that didn't resolve the issue. I shall do it agin but this time reman in stock for longer.
I got the launcher BECAUSE the stock home screen doesn't rotate and I prefer to mount my phone sideways in my car. What is baffling is that it DOES go to landscape orientation when I plug the phone onto the Lapdock. Weird.
I was wondering if anybody else had this problem but the more I search the more I find that I may be the only one with the isssue, thus I'm thinking it can be due to my personal phone setup rather than a glitch. If I DO find a fix, I'll put it up nonetheless...
I have the exact same issue with Atrix 4G and ADW launcher
I have the exact issue you described and I did the same but ni good results so far. The only difference is that i was using the multimedia dock instead of the laptop dock (which I was thinking to buy). I just got the phone yesterday and the dock today and when testing for the 1st time i got the wallpaper wrongly oriented.. any help?
I installed after that the wallpaper wizardii app to see if it could fix it but no luck..
Thanks a lot.

Buggy wallpaper configuration. Try this, it might help.
- Install GO Launcher EX and set your wallpaper.
- Every time after undock the phone, press menu > wallpaper > press lock and and unlock for few times.
It work for me.
Just to chip in that I had the same (or very similar) problem: Nottachtrix ROM, ADW Launcher, multimedia dock. Swapping out the launcher to GO Launcher EX per AeroMiku's suggestion has worked for me ... for the moment!

[HELP NEEDED] Split Screen Recent Apps

Hi Fellow XDA Members,
I am experiencing a bug (i think) on my Mate 10 Pro (BLA-L29 C636) ever since i updated to .138 (Face Unlock update).
When i'm on "split-screen mode", when i hit the "recent" button, the "other half" of the screen just goes to Home and not opening my recent apps window. This kinda frustrates me while doing multi-tasking since I need to scroll through all my apps and look for the one i need.
I already updated to the latest version, .139, but issue/bug still persists. I already did restore factory settings / wipe cache etc. But still not fixing it.
Maybe i'm missing something on settings?
Hopefully someone gets what i'm talking about and can help me.
Thank you in advance and good day!
It's not a bug, it's feature!

what do you mean by feature? that it doesn't do "recent app window" on the half of the split-screen mode??? Because on .119 update, it just works fine.
I know, as far as I know, they changed it.
I liked the former way more, too.

Damn. Did they post it on changelog or something?
Noticed also some weird stuff when watching YT in landscape mode, it automatically sets you to "vivid" color mode. Not a fan of it either. That's why i only set my device to "normal" color mode. It goes back though when you close YT app.
