I have an issue after the update. On random moments the screen rotates by itself despite the phone being in portrait position it rotates to landscape for a second and returns to portrait. It's irritating. Anyone has the same problem?
If this happens when an app supports landscape it stays on landscape, when not - like home screen it just kind of flickers to landscape and back.
I tried turning auto-rotate off - does not help. I calibrated the sensor - does not help. Scanned for viruses - none found.
First flash any previous fw and check if problem persists.
Sent from an electronic device.
I'll wait with flashing back and forth until someone may know what is the deal with this.
Dzięki
Did a factory reset. It helped. Screen flickers no more.
I have the exact same problem! Auto-rotate is off and running in portrait mode.
It started about two weeks ago, but I ignored it because I thought flashing a new rom would fix it. It didn't.
Before I was running Xliterom (ICS) but yesterday I flashed Vanilla Rootbox (JB).. the problem was still there, and I obviously wiped data/cache/dalvik etc. So then I decided to try Foxhound and the problem is still there. Can anybody help me figure this out? Hardware problem..? Could it be some app causing this?
It just happens at random times, in random apps. Even at homescreen sometimes.

Hello all.
Not much of a poster but i would like to see if i can get some help with my phone.
I've had it rooted and running Trigger for a couple months now......but recently i came into a problem. The phone will go into landscape mode on its own and sticks there.
It wont rotate back no matter what i do.
Yes i've tried toggling the auto-rotate settings but it still wont rotate back.
The only way i can get it to go back to vertical is by reflashing the rom, but it doesn't take long before it goes back. I've also tried flashing other roms but same problem.
It's really starting to get frustrating and i don't know what to do. Any thoughts?
Have you tried re-calibrating? Go to Settings>Display>Horizontal Calibration and let it do its thing. I ran into this with trigger and later, project v.
You mean anytime in landscape mode it locks that way? Like when using the camera or watching a movie? Or it only locks when using landscape on the home screens?
that sounds like a hardware problem to me but maybe if i knew more about what your doing i could say otherwise. there are sensors inside your phone that tell it when it is sideways, upside down, rightside up. not that i encourage this but...... have you tried bumping it off of a table to see if it flips back? maybe the sensors are acting up???
My evo 3d (running Eternity Infected Rom) suddenly started to give me problems with the screen.
Randomly, the screen does not respond properly to my input. For instance I will click on an app at the top of the screen, but an app at the bottom of the screen will get selected.
The same goes for typing and scrolling. When I turn off the screen off and then back on, the problem seems to go away momentarily.
I didn't get the screen wet and nothing out of the ordinary has happened.
I get the same problem after doing a full wipe and flashing back to an old recovery, or flashing a new Rom.
Any ideas?
When I go to Settings -> Display -> Calibration, I get the following error
"Unable to find an activity to perform this action"
Do you use any lock screen replacement apps? WidgetLocker? I have also seen this issue being caused by JuiceDefender with some screen off settings FWIW
I don't use any lock screen replacements. And everything was working perfectly for months, and then suddenly the other night, the symptoms began.
The only change I made to the phone, is I added a bunch of music to my SD card from my iTunes. But that shouldn't effect anything.
I had a similar issue with an evo4G, in fact I've been through 4 of them so I'm receiving a free upgrade. Hopefully I'm not plagued by the same issue.
try this fix from the sensation forum... seemed to help me... ill report back in a few days to confirm..
have had this issue now a week and i have to either rstart or screen off/on to fix

At&t Samsung galaxy s 2 running SHOstock, The screen orientation on my device seems to have a delay when switching to portrait but not when I switch to landscape, also when i lay the phone flat it switches to landscape view. I haven't had this problem until I tried a the ported cm9 rom, then I switched back to my original rom, unnamed and I started getting this issue, I then switched to shostock to see if this would fix the problem but it didn't, I've done factory resets, cleared cache, and used odin to switch to stock. I've used sensor testers like z-device test and sensor debug and couldn't find a solution, any suggestions to fixing this? Besides hitting the phone on my desk praying it will fix itself?
Hi i have a problem with my S3 where, say i was typing a text out or on an app. The screen goes into landscape for a split second then goes black and then back to normal. This happened on my first S3 then i went and got it replaced and it does the same again.
I haven't a clue why its doing this i have auto rotate turned off and it still does this. Has anyone else came across this issue?
Im running 3.7 Wanamlite Rom with Siyah 1.6.8 kernel.
i tried moving to checkrom v5.5 HD and the problem happens on that too. I cant see it being another faulty phone seeing as only a week ago I went and got it replaced with another brand new RED S3.
I hope this is an easy fix cause really does get on your nerves when screen does this and i know its not normal or could it be just an issue with JB? thanks in advanced.

3rd galaxy s3 and still having this issue. Its the red model. It was working ok then out of the blue the phone would act as if its opening a landscape app and then reverts back to normal. this is really annoying as sometimes wen unlocking the phone it rotates to landscape and i have to lock and re unlock to get it back to normal. This happens even with auto rotate turned off and motion disabled.
is there a way to test and see if its a certain app thats causing this? cause no way 3rd brand new galaxy s3 and having the same issue. Thanks
It intermittently crashes, and has become a lot more frequent over the last few days.
However when it crashes, the lights of the touchkeys at the bottom still light up with I touch the screen. If there's some kind of animation on the screen, it will keep moving (eg downloading animation). However it doesn't respond to anything I do and I have to restart.
I was running CyanogenMod 10.1, changed to SuperNexus 2.0 to try and resolve issue but it hasn't.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Charlie.
Flash Stock Rom and do Full Wipe Then Try Again
