Been trying to find a solution for this, but no luck so far.
I installed CM10 on my tab today (wifi) and everything seems solid, but for some reason, the lockscreen is always in landscape mode, even when I am holding the device in portrait. I have autorotate on, and the screen properly rotates when I am using the device, but in the lockscreen, it is stuck in landscape mode.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thank you
buummmpppp. anyone with some info or a solution?

Had the same problem with (the otherwise perfect rom!) and found not so much a sollution but a kinda a "brute" workaround:
Look in GP for an app called "Ultimate Rotation Control". I gives you rotation control over as good as any application on your tablet, including the lockscreen.
It works great for me although the app itself seems to stay in the background (but I did not notice any lag due to it). Also it seems you 'll have to pay for it since it has a 7 days timer on it (not sure what happens after the trial but I bet it'll ask you to get a license for 1,99 EUR)
In short:
It does the job, but it seems a little overkill for thisproblem

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.

What ROM are you running?

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
While using stock ROMs up to 360 works fine. Every custom ROM or 40* ROMs cause these problem.
Once sensor was covered while call, display locks and doesn't unlocks until someone on the other side hang-up.
I've allready tried to wipe cache and reset everything. Calibration doesn't help too.
PS Sorry for my bad english.
It's a known problem, however some have reported that if you rotate the device from portrait to landscape (or vice versa) that it "unlocks" the screen.

It realy helps, thanks!
Did anyone figured out what is the reason of it? Is there a fix?
As far as I know, there is not a fix for it. We are stuck with this workaround for now.
Fortunately, I've found kind of a solution.
I've noticed, that if phone shows you any kind of notifications, display unlocks right.
So i searched an app that will show some. And it works!
For me cure is - "Notification Airtime" app (Free and available in market).
Hope it will be useful.
Has anybody looked at this? Some apps rotate the tablet so that you have to hold skinny side in portrait, which sucks. Would be nice to be able to rotate and hold fat side.
Hoping for that too.
hi
few days ago, i discovered "Ultimate Rotation Control"
There is a 7days (or longer Trial) at google play. I'm not allowed to post Links, so u have to search it by ur self, sure isnt a big deal.
Set it to Force Rotation, and Apps (inclusive market previews) will rotate like u want!
greets nuts
it also is a setting in 4.0 if im correct, could be a cm9 feature
yup
For some reason Sony limited the tablet to three axis'.
However with a orientation app you can use all four.
All of the orientation apps that I have tried reduce the performance of the tablet. Just try one, force an orientation, and try scrolling the homescreen. You'll see how slow it is.
Hmm, with Ultimate Rotation Control, i have no slow downs - its working like ever, only thing is, Apps starting in the right rotation, not upside down .
Until now i'm using the testversion, and its says 18days till end - not 7 as u get told in market. Hoping for ICS, too
However with a orientation app you can use all four.

could u tell me an App what do all 4Axis by auto rotation?
greetz nutz
URC works very well for me, but slows my launcher too, what a pity...
Search Set Orientation by Eyes-Free Project on Google Play, is simple and works nice.
Wondering if anyone knows a way to force the lockscreen into landscape?
I mount the XZU in landscape in my car and I can force the device to landscape for everything I need but if it turns off, it comes back into a portrait lockscreen.
Any way to do this?

have you tried Adaptive Rotation Lock from the market? it forces my Note 2 lockscreen into landscape. however i don't think it works on the Galaxy S4, so i guess it depends on the device..
Worked great, thanks! I needed to reboot to get it to work.
I'm glad to know this works on the Ultra Z as I ponder getting the device myself

I'm enjoying the XZU greatly and this was one of very few stumbling blocks. Using this app, just ensure that the "lock screen on portrait" option is unchecked and that "auto start" is checked them give it reboot after install and setup.

Cool, I'm hoping the U.S. Sony stores will get the C6806 model in so I can go actually see it and see just how big it is, and if it would fit in my pocket lol.

I'm glad it's working for you guys, it's a nice app with a simple interface. Good idea too ^ getting rid of the icon by supporting the developer
Hi all
I'm very satisfied with my S6 Edge (925F) but I'm facing a weird problem: when I unlock the phone using my fingerprint(s), it works perfectly but sometimes it's not the home screen which is displayed, but another random app, (i.e Facebook, Settings, News Republic or other...)
I have to press the back button to return to the home screen...
Anyone having the same problem? (not a big deal but...)
Started to happen to me as well a couple of days back. It's strange because it never happened before and I didn't change anything on the phone.
Never happened to me so far. Are you sure you weren't already in that app when you locked your device? The fingerprint unlocks into the last open app. Go back to home before locking.
Another possibility is that you are tapping a notification before unlocking. Say you have a notification from FB and you tap on it. The screen will stay locked, but it will open the FB app. Unlocking with fingerprints will then show FB open. Same can happen for email, texts, etc. You can also pull down the status bar and tap settings, then when you unlock, settings will be open.

Thanks but not at all.
It happens randomly, either I'm in an app or not (and if so, it's not necesseraly the one I was on!)
Quite mysterious...
I was using Nova Launcher (maybe the cause), will give 2-3 days Touchwiz a chance, and will report back...
Hey guys,
same problem for me. It is not dependant of the unlock method (i'm experiencing it with finger print or regular unlock).
I think it is a Nova launcher bug, only occur with nova for me.

I think so...unfortunately...
I think it's the latest nova launcher beta version that causes the issue.
I'm using Nova since I got the phone, a month ago, haven't experienced this.
I have been having this problem too and was about to start a new thread. I am using Nova too, though I did try installing the google now launcher and seemed to have the same problem. I suppose Nova simply being installed may cause the problem.
I will try uninstalling Nova and use TouchWiz for a bit. Not sure how long I will last, I think I prefer the random apps to Touchwiz.
How did the rest of you get on after switching away from Nova?
I have been experiencing this issue as well but ive been using the nokia Z-launcher. I have a feeling it might also be my fingers inadvertently touching the curved portion of the screen when i hold it.
I have the same thing happen to me. I thought I was going insane. The worst part is, I'm on a note 3 and I'm using touchwiz lollipop. I'm 100% sure no applications are running before I lock the phone, and when I use the pattern unlock, whatever application shortcut that was on the screen when I lock the phone, a random app from that screen will run when I unlock the phone. It doesnt happen all the time, but it happens at least a couple times a day.
Reason
Hey guys. I am using Nova Launcher too. And I have the same problem. I don't have the sollution, but I found the reason. ? When you lock your S6, the touchscreen stays for a second active. And if you hit an app in that second it will open when you unlock your S6.
Sorry for my bad English, I hope someone can do something with this information.
Cya ??

It seems that if the Nova's desktop margin is set to "Medium" or "Big", this problem is reduced, but I don't know if it's fully solved. Will see...
Have you found any other solution?

I think that has nothing to do with it. It could be true that it reduces it, but the only reason it would do that is because:
Mostly when you lock your S6 your fingers touch the side of the screen.
When you set margin to "Medium" or "Big" and you lock your phone, your fingers wil most likely touch no app on the side of your desktop, because the margin "pushes" them to the middle of the screen.
I haven't found a solution. Still waiting for an update to fix it.

Yes, that makes sense. Anyway, if looks perfectly good with marging set to medium, and I've had no issues with this problem since I changed the setting (yesterday). So if it reduces the problem so much, I can live with it...

Great news, the update I got today (4.2.2) fixed the bug. It was from Nova. I think this ends the thread. Happy new year guys. Cya!
Yep, it is finally fixed! Cheers!
Still happening in the latest Nova... running in Oppo phone.
