Guys I really need help with this one, I don't know why my auto rotation stop working never the less i'm able to play sorting games that are only landscape but my screen does not rotate for example in internet browser, mort player, unable to play NFS shift,I did a factory reset, i try this also
adb.exe shell
su
/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha
at first it did not work because I was missing files that I eventually find in the web
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP
Stupid question but you do have auto rotate checked right?
Also more info on phone may help others help you, like Rom yourre running etc. I'm going to assume you are rooted. Could it be there's an auto rotate box to be ticked in the game?
Dunno, gl.

Hi, first of all sorry if this post is hidden somewhere but since i upgraded my tf201 to ice cream sandwish igot this problem : I can't play megavideo videos in fullscreen it just lead to a white page, on stock browser video works but after 5-10 mins the browser shutdown im kinda out of ideas. I tried uninstalling flash, dolphin browser hd, reinstalling both and tried iphone,ipad,android and desktop mode everytime with same result video hang then whitescreen gotta restart browser. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Anyone had this problem???
Have you tried with the Flash update that came out today for compatibility with ICS?
Is it a different version than the one from market? I just uninstall/reinstall flash and dolphin hd tonight from market thx for reply
So nobody got this problem since ics??
Try using a 3rd party app such as Mobo or Rockplayer. If that doesn't work try a factory reset. Also ask Jerdog to move this to Q&A as this is a question.
I am also having this problem on my tp running ics dolphin and adobe. everything is up to date and says that it will fix the problem, but it does not. it happens on random videos, some work in full screen and some white screen. I think it has something to do with the flash player because I did not have the problem until i installed adobe (it was needed to play some videos that are now white screening). Videos work fine until they go fullscreen. My stock browser works fine and rarely crashes. I just like dolphins ui the best.
Any fixes found?
I am also having this issue, have tried 10 browsers, it is happening in all of them when you try to play embedded video and full screen videos. Frustrating as hell. I am sure an update is coming that will fix it.
No Problems Here...
My TFP is working flawlessly since ICS, the HD video play pretty well without any lag. I have a bunch of them... try a clearing the data from the app.
You know, you should give us some kind of link or example so we can try some specific thing ourselves instead of just asking whether "videos" work for us or not.

Right, for example give use the Hd Video type you are trying to play...
It happens to me. Here's an example: if I'm at a page that has flash video, I will start seeing the video, hit the button for full screen, and the whole screen turns white, the video does not play.

thanks alot for all you're answers, i tryed a system restore yesterday with no success i already tried to push back and retry fullscreen didnt work as for the 3rd party i'll try that tonight same goes for the link ill post it tonight since im actually at work. Anyway the videos i tried was from animefreak website i tried using a different mirror (different player than megavideo) with same result. Ill keep you updated, thanks
Hitting back does nothing as the prime will freeze on a white screen. App must be rebooted to function properly.
I have seen this problem on pc due to the hardware acceleration option, i wonder if that might have something to do with it. Although it would be weird to have hardware acceleration on a flash player meant for a tablet. I tried to mess with the player settings but found nothing that would help.
Although the stock browsers is not so fun it seems to work so I would just use it until the issue is fixed.

Yes and i just tried it again with no luck
Also Bl0odymess did a factory restore and installed everything fresh and still has the problem as well
I am just watching streaming on the default browser now
Waiting for adobe or dolphin to fix
im doing the same as susko using the default browser even if it crashes randomly when im watching videos. thanks alot for you replys every1
EDIT : btw, 3rd party softwares were just for local video, couldnt find how to open an url with them. Tryed megaplayer software but havent managed to make it work thanks
I have the same probleme yesterday. But i have an fix that works for me.
1. First deinstall over Apps the Flash Player.
2. Then install the flashplayer 11 over the market!!!
This is important because, if you open the browser without flash it ask you to install flash and with this package it doesn't work. I dont know why, but only the package in the Market work with fullscreen flashvideos!
I hope i can help you
EDIT:
It work for the first time, after it shown the with screen you describe
EDIT2:
It works, but only in the AndroiBrowser! In the other Browser only a white screen is shown.
Guys, Can I pls get your help for the below issues I have with my Sony Tablet S
I cant seem to "close"recently used apps', even after completely shutting down & disconnecting power. Its like I want to "delete browsing history" on a PC
I cant seem to log-out of Gmail at all as I can't see an option to do so.
The remote control learner does not learn at all, inspite of following all instructions. I have a Pioneer Amp to control music, but I've had no luck. After some research I've found out that the tablet can only learn from some models post 2011. Is this true?
I also have an Onkyo reciever for which I've downloaded the andriod app. This works well, but the app inevitably starts with the wrong orientation - inspite of my best efforts to hold the tab in the correct direction in which the app opened the last time. (It seems to rotate regardless)
I have no other issues such as force close or auto dimming as per my understanding of the most frequent issues on this forum
Thanks for your help guys. I really need it. Cheers
You could use "Advanced Task Killer free ( Or pro )
If you close an app does not mean it really shuts down but it wil stay there in memory,
The Task Killer will terminate all running apps.
Gmail is always running unless you uncheck the auto synchronize with Gmail,
you can find that in Settings / Accounts if that's what you meant.
I have several IR devices and i choose them from the device list no problems at all some actions didn't work well so I had to learn it from my remote control that worked fine to.
Orientation is a known issue but if you have your tablet rooted you could use a rotation app which requires root access something like full rotation i quess can't remember.
Don't mind my English

I have learned my tablet remotes from Dreambox 800HD (digitalbox for cable) and from my Harman Kardon AVR255 EU (reciever) and both are pre 2011. I also got it to work with a tv and digitalbox when I was visiting my father in the US. Can't remember the models though, but no problems with the remote. The tv in US was an old "fat-tv" not the new flat-tv
Honeycomb has no built-in method of killing apps at user request and for a good reason: Android does a better job itself. If Android needs to kill an app, it will do so, so you don't need to do it yourself. As for clearing history and the like, thats a bit trickier, but the stock Browser does include Incognito tabs for private browsing.
Gmail, on the other hand cannot be logged out of unless you go into Settings -> Accounts & Sync and either turn off Gmail sync (which still leaves you signed in, but not updating) or simply delete the Google Account. Gmail's not really made to be signed in or out of regularly.
As for your problems with the IR, thats definitely not the case and whatever your problems are, they're relatively isolated. Can you give us more detail on what you've tried and what happens when you do so?
With your Onkyo app, that almost invariably means that the developer has not included landscape support. If there is no landscape option for an app, it will force rotate to portrait, or vice versa if the app doesn't have portrait support. If you're sure they have, make sure that the Auto-Rotate Screen in your Settings toggles is set to On and if it still doesnt work, email the developer and let them know. Could be an isolated issue.
The question was not how to kill apps the question was how to delete recently opened apps and I have this question too. It seems there is no way.
Where are you finding these recently closed apps? As far as I knew Honeycomb didn't have any equivalent of the pre-3.0 "hold home button" dialog. The multitasking button in the bottom left shows running, paused and killed apps together, so there is no way to differentiate between recently used and closed apps, and recently used but still running apps.
maybe this helps

dont know about honeycomb cause i never tried this on it but on ics u can drag the apps out of the recently opened apps drawer and it disappears... try it... maybe it helps... or u can wait for the ics update to help u get rid of this issue....
Yes on ICS. But ICS came out last night us only for the moment. And with he there is no way.

As Schrammi said, that is a new ICS feature and on Honeycomb, the only way to clear apps from the multitasking panel is to reboot (which will also end the app, obviously)
Hey folks, have this game on my arc s & it works fine. However, on my Sony S the accelerometer seems disorientated. Holding the tablet in landscape mode as you would expect to use it, it always steers to the right (its almost like it wants you to hold it in portrait to play it) Ive tried recalibrating both horizontal & vertical in the settings, but short of slightly altering it, its completely unplayable :-(
This also happens in the game 'little robots', but the 3d maze works as expected?!?!
Am i missing something or does somethin need changing?
thanks in advance
Its the same with mine. Cant play the game due to this issue. Hope someone can give us a solution coz gtfree seems kinda fun.

Hi all, I'm new to the forums and to android. I've done some searching and haven't been able to find a solution to my problem, at least in the case of the S3.
I've had my phone just over a week and hadn't noticed any issues until today I realized that landscape mode wasn't working in the web browser. It doesnt seem to want to flip to landscape in other instances I would expect it to either such as in SMS or memo pad. I've tried the gyroscope calibration, tuning auto-rotate on/off, even did a factory reset to see if that would work.
The shortcut to use the camera by tilting to landscape in the lock screen still works so I'm trying to rule out the possibility of a complete hardware malfunction.
I found a post here talking about a similar problem solved by deleting a system file and using a couple shell commands but it's about another galaxy and I can't find the target calibration files in the S3 so I think it's a safe bet that they're different. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=816131&page=2
Anyway I guess my question is does anyone know what the problem might be and if theres a way to fix it? If there is a way to calibrate the sensors using a terminal or something like what was described in that thread I wouldn't mind giving that a shot, but if there is a simpler solution then that would be great too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Are you using stock launcher? Is the box checked in accessibility options?
Thanks for the reply. Stock launcher, rooted using MrRobinsons bell images here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 . Have also flashed the original stock rom without root and had the same problem.
And yes the box is checked in accessibility settings.

I bought my S3 in late June and all was fine until a couple of weeks ago when I noticed that my screen no longer rotates
1. Can't view my photos in landscape anymore
2. Can't view Youtube videos in landscape anymore (full screen)
A few days ago I turned off Screen Rotation and left it off for a couple of days. I then turned it back on and it worked...for half an hour
I dunno what I'm supposed to do. I try to calibrate my phone (Setting -> Display -> Gyroscope calibration)
I'm also wondering if it has something to do with installing Apex Launcher and then uninstalling it..
Please help

Try playing a game then requires accelerometer?
I recommend restarting device and as already mentioned try a game that uses the accelerometer

As mentioned above try to play a game that uses the accelerometer...Most racing games out there should do it. If they don't work, your accelerometer might be problematic. Though if I were you I would also try backing up the phone and doing a full wipe to see if there are still problems (but of course you'll have to be on root). Seems suspicious that the problems only appeared after you switched on screen rotation again.
I found this app can do all orientations. Try and check whether it works.
Orientation Control
Or try Sensor Tester
Hi
If you type *#0#* into the phone dialer you will access a test mode. Within that panel of options is a 'sensor' tab, which will give you access to the accelerometer test (top one).
If the image doesn't automatically switch to panoramic then you may have a fault.

Alright, I'm gonna go through each suggestion and post the results:
1) Try a game. Could you recommend a specific game please? I'm not much of a gamer and I'm not too keen on racing games so I dunno too many
2) Restart the phone. I've already tried that at least a dozen times and it still doesn't work
3) Test mode. The orientation of the pic did not change so I'm assuming that means that I do have a prob with the accelerometer
Now assuming I take it to the repair center, will they actually repair/replace the accelerometer or give me a new phone?
EDIT: I'm thinking of doing a factory reset because I'm wondering if the prior installation of the Apex Launcher messed up the phone in some way. What do you guys think?

I have already tried the test mode (check the post you have quoted) and the orientation of the picture did not change from portrait to landscape :/
I'd advise you to try a factory reset before returning your phone as invariably they will send it off for repair for 2 weeks rather than giving you a new one.
Don't forget to backup though

I had the same issue and I tried every step and fix suggested. None of them worked. I have finally got it to work. I held my phone about waist high and dropped it on the rug. When I picked it up the gyro was working. I'm not trolling you, this seriously worked for me. YMMV.
Few days ago I had the same issue... I then searched the net for answers and one of the options was to enter download mode. And to my surprise it worked. Hope it helps

Was having the same issue and came here. Tried using a game, restarting phone, nada. So I went into display settings and saw that Auto Rotate was turned off. Not sure how that happened.
Sometimes it's the simple things.
