Hi people, I bought a generic tablet. A Boxchip [email protected] 1.2Ghz, GPU Mali400,, 512Ram.. etc.
The thing is I flashed it with a compatible rom, but some configurations are wrong.
I got wrong button mapping, and aI solved it, but Not the strangest thing happens... it seems the configuration of rotation is allways a step behind.
What do I mean? Well.. having 4 possible positons (Portrait, Upside down portrait, Landscape and Upside down landscape),
When I put it n the poision of landscape, the screen rotates to upside down portrait. In upside down portrait to upside down landscape, in upside down landsacpe goes to portrait, and in portrait it goes to landscape. It's driving me nuts! haha I temporarily disabled rotation, but It's a nice thing to have enabled..
In conclusion, It seems the configuration somehow maps the position +90 degrees clockwise more than it should.
Where is it maped? can somebody help me? THanks.
Check your settings, there must Ann option to calibrate your sensor.
Once you can find that option, your problem is solved

Hi. Thanks for answering!
Mhm.. I've double checked settings.. there is none to calibrate that =/
I have had the exact same thing on a tablet I bought for my son, did you ever resolve it?

I run dailyroads voyager as dashcam. My sgs2 is seated in the carholder in the left corner of the front window, allowing the cables to be neatly stuffed away behind my doorrubbers.
But: this means I can only rotate the phone counter-clockwise. This is not supported by dailyroads voyager (or any other dashcam-app). They'll just display clockwise landscape, rendering the buttons etcetera upsidedown...
Is there any way to force counter clockwise? I read about it being implemented in some custom rom for another phone...

Anybody knows how to force counter-clockwise landscape?
I do hope someone replies here because I'd like the same thing. When I play games or hold the phone in landscape, my fingers usually end up covering the speaker. Forcing a counter-clockwise landscape orientation would be great. To the OP, I've looked around myself and haven't found anything.

Found it mentioned in Cyanogenmod... It is on it's way for the SGS2, so maybe if we wait just a little bit longer we can finally rotate counterclockwise (or left landscape versus right landscape, or 270 degrees, or whatever people call it).
Just can't be that hard, now can I it? Really no-one with an easy solution here?
Actually I would like to have 90 degrees landscape, I have by default 270 degrees rotation. This is annoyng because when I play games light sensor is in bottom left corrner. I put my finger over the light sensor and screen goes dark becasue my phone thinks that it is in the dark area. I don't know if I remember correctly but in the first run wizard it was set up. But I don't know where to change it now.
That's exactly what we want too... You're talking about the same

Hi,
Several apps I have tried (maybe ~10% of them) only have portrait mode. This is a problem if you have a TV you can't rotate.
I wonder if anyone has any ideas of how to write, say, a background service that detects if it's displaying in portrait mode, and then shrinks the screen view and flips it 90degrees (so essentially you have a portrait screen that is now the correct way up, with black screen on either side). You can't tell it to display in true landscape because that's hard-coded into the app, so it is better to just rotate the portrait display. However this is a hard thing to do as the screen display is very low-level... but does anyone have any ideas of how to accomplish that?
I've done some searching, but of course Android has never really faced this problem before. Android has either been on a rotatable mobile device, or it's been on a GoogleTV where everything is landscape...
If so, that would open up more apps for Q-compatibility...
Hi, my I9100 when the phone is set to auto-rotate, and is in landscape mode, it will not return into portrait mode. Not even if i set it to no auto-rotation. It runs KitKat (Beanstalk) and even if i manage to get it to portrait, the apps that were viewed in landscape will remain in landscape.
Every tme the only solution is to reboot.
Its defently not a hardware issue, but i have noticed while using apps that show the orientation of the phone such as Bubble level, that the phone doesnt detect when it is faced bottom side, up.
Please help
Hello... for some time now in my mia3 I have the problem that when I have a horizontal application either a game or the same youtobe on the screen it seems to go back to vertical mode and then horizontal.
I wonder if anyone would know why that is.
Thank you very much in advance.
It seems the sensors and system are not calibrated well enough to handle normal uses. It's overly sensitive to small angle changes. I find it switch the orientations back and forth automatically when it's put on the table from hand-held position.
I use this to set orientation for each app:

It's not solving the problem, just sidestepping it.

I will try. Thank you very much for the answer. I will also notify you if this partially solves the problem.

Try to recalibrate gyroscope sensor, type in dialer *#*#6484#*#* and go to gyroscope section, calibrate. Find flat smooth surface and follow the instructions. It helped me when my phone didn't catch that I'm holding phone in horizontal position. After calibration it's perfect.

That was the first thing I did, as well as trying out many applications, and it's still the same.
Thank you very much.
Maybe there's something about how you're handling the phone.
Say, when putting the phone to the desktop by left hand, the phone would land on the surface by its (long) right side at the moment it leaves the palm. The screen face is tilted to the right somewhat. This is enough to trigger the auto rotation and irritating.
If the system can learn the habit, predict actual intention of the user and give it some delay before triggering the auto rotation, then the display can stay more stable. But I don't know where to set such trigger timing or delay etc.
Later I learn to touch down at the top (short) side of the phone first. Or use that aforementioned app to disable auto rotation on some apps, like browser.
BTW, my gyroscope is calibrated well, too.
I’m playing with my old tablet huawei mediapad s7-301u these days. I'm testing cm-12.1 but I have one problem. The orientation of the screen in portrait mode is upside down. It doesn't cause much trouble, working with most applications because I've turning on 180 and 270 degree orientation. The main problem is with the camera. The shutter button is instead at the bottom, at the top of the screen in portrait mode. The output image is ok. Does anyone have any idea where there might be a problem? Thanks in advance.
