Greetings,
Today my Razr XT910 is showing a weird behavior. The screen is not rotating. The option to auto rotate is enabled, but the phone does not rotate.
Tried a Bubble app and it is not marking any movement.
I installed AndoSensor to check everything and the app reports the accelerometer flawlessly. The screen even ROTATES inside the app! When I close the app, even with the device in landscape and the screen perfectly rotated, the phone goes back to portrait mode and nothing else detects the movement.
It´s a brand new phone (got it last tuesday) Im using ICS stock, rooted.
Any ideas?

install another launcher like apex or nova

Whenever I set a wallpaper on my tab, after rotating and going back to landscape the background goes blank on half the screen. If I then rotate to portrait and back it resets but it's getting very irritating when this happens. Anyone else getting this or have any idea how to cure it? I even tried turning auto rotate off but still no luck. I also tried other wallpaper apps like wizardrii. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue on a certain rom and kernel combo.. Not sure which it was cause I have re-flashed both since then..
thanks for quick reply, sorry should of stated my tab is totally standard touchwiz with no mods.
I'm in the same boat here... I thought I found a fix the other day. I just disabled the screen rotation so my screen stayed in landscape. Worked for about a day or so.
I don't know much on how Honeycomb handles setting wallpapers but i get the feeling it has something to do with that wierd crop function Honeycomb uses.
I use ADWex as my launcher and it still dose it.
I did notice that on my eVo4g (running Gingerbread 2.3.5, using ADWex) that when I turn my eVo from portrait to landscape the wallpaper doesn't resize or reposition its self near as nice as on Honeycomb(when it works like it's supposed to). So much so that I started just using an all black wallpaper.
Most likely its something that can be fixed with some kind of a matinace update. I haven't gottin around to rooting Tab yet to see if it happens on other rooms, and maybe I can get around to it next week.

My wallpaper stopped rotating even though I set it to auto. I flashed the ROM I was using without doing a factory reset first and it got it working again
I had this problem to. Try using Wallpapyrus or Live Multi Wallpaper(wich i use now).
Never had that problem nomore.
ok here is the problem my screen wont rotate did a soft and hard reset and all only time it switches view are when i'am in the andriod market ,netflix and so forth ,but at the home screen everything is the long way now it cool when iam reading my book or my comic books and i think i can deal with it but i do like it when its the other way too any help with this problem would be great
Did you check settings, screen and auto rotate?
Or did you lock your screen with a setting in one of the launchers?
And how did you get your market and Netflix to rotate? Mine doesn't.

You need to be a bit more informative about the problem brother. Things like what model do you have( wifi only, 4G...) are you running a stock unrooted Tab or are you rooted and running a custom rom, if so which rom and are you using the stock launcher or a 3rd party one??? It'll help us to figure out what's going on.
Now after rereading your post a few times this is what I'm understanding. When you say "long ways" I'm assuming you mean portrait... right? That would mean that your Tab is stuck in portrait (longer from top to bottom and shorter from side to side) and the only time it jumps to landscape is when you go to Apps that are written to automatically switch to landscape when opened, like the Market and Netflix. You also say that you've done a soft rest (meaning completely powered off your Tab) and did a hard rest (meaning you did a factory rest) am I right so far???
If I'm on the right track with what I've posted above and this is assuming that your running a stock unrooted Tab and the stock TW launcher you could very well have a bad accelerometer. That's the sensor in side of our Tabs that tell it how your holding it. If you did a factory rest (hardrest) then that should have reset your Tab it exactly how it was when you took it out of the box. And auto rotation would be set on by default.
Go to settings> screen> and make sure you have "auto rotate screen" checked.
Hit us back with some more info so we can try and help out a bit more.

So far your right on...
Hey SouthPhilly...
I noticed this thread suddenly stopped.
I am having the exact same issue, and have done a reset to factory on my device and the screen still does not rotate unless forced to by an app.
Just wondering if you were going to launch in to a possible solution.
thanks.

I'm wondering the same thing here. I have the same issue with my GTab 7510..bleh!
wipe cache.
sometimes it works
The close tab "x" in the stock browser is not working most of the time when in landscape orientation. I have to turn the tablet to portrait orientation to be able to close the tab.
I installed multitouch test apps and they are able to track my fingertips over the entire display perfectly so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?

Yes I do. When I unplug, I am able to close the tabs normally in any orientation. I was testing this when you posted.

Been batling with this problem for so long and it's really annoying. my HTC Droid DNA Auto Rotate aint working at all, no matter how i flip and flip, it will just not work. even when i check Auto Rotate in Settings, the problem still persist.
But i noticed that the Auto Rotate Widget size is 0kb; could this be the cause??

Is it possible using app like setting datebase editor to change setting to allow full 360 rotation on a non rooted/bootloader locked phone?
I'm currently using auto rotation app which can and is working fine, but I hate the fact it shows in notifications, (if you don't keep notifications system kills the app and won't fully rotate).
I have had a look at setting datedase editor but can't see anything directly but I as I'm not that tech knowledgeable I could be missing something in the app.
I have used this app to disable touch mode(when top sensor is coved by hand/case)
Any advice help much appreciated.
Thanks.

Could you give me a little more details.
I have it set to rotate but it doesn't rotate complete 360° unless I use rotation app.
Sorry I surely misunderstanding you.
On my side rotation didn't works on home screen but on app yes.
In fact I didn't test 360. It's more 90 then for me.
And home rotation works for samsung.
I did notice that if app is rotated in landscape and I'm going to home I can see that home is correctly rotated for less than one sec so it can works but Huawei is bugged or it's intentional.
On my mate 10 pro it was worked on first earlier firmware and was broken quickly after.
On mate 20 pro it's never worked.
On Nova launcher for ex it's works.

I also see the correctly rotated screen for a second!
