My dell streak screen stucks in landscape mode...its only a month I buy it...pliz help I tick the automatic screen rotating option it doesnt work...
We need more information. What ROM are you running? What launcher are you using? Is everything stuck in landscape or just your home screens?
Hey guys I figured out something kinda cool today and idk if anyone else has ever tried it but I thought I would post it here just for fun. So if you unlock your phone and go into a landscape friendly app (I just use messaging) and turn your phone to the landscape position. Then turn auto rotation off from your status bar (if your rom supports it of course). Now lock your phone and your lock screen should also be in landscape mode!
Idk what this does to ethe twlauncher but I know it puts my nova launcher into landscape mode even though I have it set to stay portrait. I've noticed this happening other times when I have been using my phone in landscape and then locked it and went to unlock it again right after and my lock screen appears to be in landscape for a short second. Idk if there's any other apps that now go landscape that dont usually or what it does to the twlauncher so let me know if you guys find anything else cool with this.
Yeah, I noticed that. Pretty neat I guess.
Yes, it was like that on my old Captivate running Gingerbread as well. Kinda makes sense that if it's locked in landscape mode, it would stay in landscape mode, including the lock screen.

On CM7, if I lock rotation in landscape, it goes back to portrait.

thanks for sharing. this trick is great if you are web browsing on your phone but you have the tendency to move your hands around a lot... causing your phone to inadvertently rotate between landscape and portrait view.
i agree, the trick works on certain roms.
on a similar note:if you set auto-rotate on but your phoen doesn't rotate...check your launcher settings. for quite some time...i've always wanted my home screen to rotate, but i realize i had my screen orientation settings set to 'potrait' of my launcher settings.
I received my sprint s6 edge today and have noticed that the screen will randomly go to landscape while browsing without any or very little movement and then it will get stuck in landscape. The only way to get it back to portrait is to return to the homescreen or another screen that forces portrait view.
Anyone else experiencimg this issue?
It's very odd I seem to be the only person with this problem. I've never had this issue on a phone before. I've noticed it seems to get stuck in landscape most often when using the stock browser, but it does happen with other apps.
My screen doesnt rotate at all .i have galaxy edge sprint version.im ok with it though but it kind of sucks that i cant figure put the issue

Nope .well yes if i force it to like when im in the youtube app for example i can swtich it there by pressing the button. I guess im loving the phone soo much right now that im overlooking the auto rotation as something minor .i hope they push an update to fix it .im still trying to search for a solution myself
Mine is totally stuck as well, ie thats broken. Anyone got any ideas on this, I am seeing more and more people on various forums with the issue.
At this point its back to AT&T for me....
it only rotates within the APP. To obtain full rotation you have to have a 3rd party app like NOVA and enable screen orientation within the settings.
Mine just started doing this today too. Noticed it first with my camera app symbols being upside down and all my pictures coming out upside down too. Then realized my screen rotation isn't working.

Hopefully this is just a software thing and they can push out a quick update.
Just realized that my screen rotation was normal before the update. I took a couple pictures at some point before the update and those are the only ones not upside down.
Has everyone with an issue installed the update? Anyone notice if it started afterwards?

I have the tmobile version and mines rotates perfect
Got my s6 edge yesterday and gyro scope doesn't work so the camera buttons and picture are stuck on landscape and no apps will go to landscape mode so I tried the test screen which says the gyro is failing getting replacement on 21st, dial *#0*# to test it.

Screen Rotation
I have the Galaxy S6 Edge with Sprint and I took it in today because I am unable to view photos in Landscape mode I also downloaded some movies on it and when I went to the video player They wouldn't go into landscape mode either I finally figured out that If I turned off the screen rotation setting then went back and played the video a small screen rotate option apprered I tapped that and the video went into landscape mode I turned the main Screen rotation setting back on and it came out of landscape mode
I tried using the Internet in landscape mode and it wouldn't go period they checked my sensors and they were all working so I did a master reset I still can't view photos in Landscape mode videos are the same and if I view the Internet in landscape mode it locks in that way and I have to close it completely in order to get out of landscape mode
It has to be a s9software issue and Samsung needs to get on the freaking ball
I am also experiencing this issue.
I am returning the phone tomorrow, after speaking with Samsung and my carrier they agreed I should return it.
I made a thread on the androidcentral forums about it which I wanted to link, but I can't post a link here because I'm a new user. Good stuff.
I looked at the axis device movement graph thingy for my phone. Phone x coords are stuck at -32768 :/
I can't post a link here because I'm a new user. So, that's great. But there is an image on the androidcentral post of it.

Im saying the same thing. This has to be more of a software issue if the sensors are working. hopefully there will be a mnor update of some kind

I'm almost positive and the reason why is because when I was in the Spint Store and Best Buy I was checking out The S6 Edge both had photos downloaded on them as well as a few short film clips and the landscape mode worked perfectly
At Best Buy over in the Samsung area they have taken Wonders of nature movie that comes preloaded on the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 tablet and downloaded it on the all the S6 phones so you could really be amazed at how beautiful the display is on these phones
I watched that movie in landscape mode without having to go through all the hassle I'm having to now.
That's why I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on and neither could the techs at the Sprint store because they S6 phones that have been on display don't have this problem because they haven't been updated.
Or at least they hadn't been the last time I pcked one up and looked at it and that was Friday

Mine worked initially, at least I think it did because my pictures were normal. I took a few pictures when I first got it up and going and then later that evening I downloaded the big software update and at some point after that it was different. Not sure if it was the update or something else.
the subject covers the problem, this happend after mm installed.. was a direct push from sony...
found a couple of threads about turning phone off, then docking then turning phone on. then undock. well now my lock screen goes into landscape kinda nice, but when i swipe up to unlock home screen is in portrait mode. would prefer home screen in landscape while charging. managed to find a app that forces it to work, but does not compress the home screen like the stock lolipop 5.2.1 i think it was, did.
beers
Yeah. This update (570) is as bad as the 5.0.2 build that came without X-Reality. No auto rotation, some sound enhacement features are missing and much more things that keep me from using Marshmallow for more than a full day.
Gee, I thought I was the only one having this issue. Yeah, it's so bad. Even on Facebook when I try to livestream while charging on dock, it's still in Portrait mode.
Im using 2 apps Rotation Control to lock on orientation mode and Power Toggles to toggle sleep mode.
Rotation Control:
I use it to lock on landscape mode all the time. But with some apps, it still opens in portrait mode and even set to auto mode. Still it wont turn to landscape mode at all and can only use it on portrait mode! Some apps, it still opens in portrait mode, but after turned on auto mode and turn the tablet to landscape mode and I can lock it to landscape. But still very annoying to do this every time. it happens. I have never such problem in all mine apps in all mine previous tablets. Only on this M5 tablet.
Power Toggle:
I use this widget to toggles between sleep time. Ex set it to 3-10 min and after a while it turns auto back to 30 sec!
Anyone can tell me what the heck is going on? Is it the tablet/EMUI or apps causing this?
Rotation Control works perfectly for me, although I primarily force auto rotation. I'm rooted if it makes a difference (I don't think it does).
If you use a third party app/widget to change screen brightness or timeout, the value resets after you turn the screen off. That's an EMUI thing, I think. There is probably a work around (I would try freezing iAware if rooted) although I have learned to roll with it. Kindisplay does work to keep the screen on where movement is detected.

I managed to solve orientation problem to allow Rotation Control for app overlay. But the annoying Android system shows up in status bar and can't get rid of that message.
I suspected that was EMUI thing, reset to 30 sec. But can't find any solution to this stupid feature.
This will be mine first and last Huawei device. Good quality but crap software.

That's and Android thing I believe, not EMUI. You can get rid of the notification by following these instructions:
