Galaxy s3 screen not rotating please help me - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if is not posted on right forum.
I started having problems with rotation of my screen with my galaxy s3. I never had any problems with rotation of screen but started last night with no reason. I haven't changed anything on the phone and I didn't install any new application but screen wouldn't go to landscape position. The I checked everything restarted several times, battery pulled several times no luck. I had all galaxy line phones but never had same issues. I am really upset about it. Please help if you experienced same issues.
Thank you so much

If that's your phone you are in the wrong forum this is I9300 forum .
Answer given may not apply to a non I9300 but its worth checking the Play store .

Just wanted to say that this worked for me as well!
I am not sure if this worked but I got it fixed only in odin mode.
I found below instructions on the forum.
In order to get into odin mode, hold the volume down, home, and power buttons when powering on your phone. Then just hit volume up when it prompts you to.
I hope this fixed.
Thanks again

Who said it fixes the problem? As the app name says, its checking if his accelemeter works or not. It might be spoilt. And therefore MIGHT tell him wats the problem.

Ok to begin I take no credit on any development of any kind with this app. Just saw this in the portal and read the thread and got it to work. Just simplified the installing instruction since it was Kind of confusing at first, and I added the app to another file host to download from since I couldnt download it from Mediafire, keep in mind the is about 29MB.
Read the instructions first please before posting anything please. I am usaing this on the latest CM9 Nightly release and do not know in what other roms it will work on.
1. With Root explorer and go to System/App and delete Voicetalk.apk if present
2. Download the APK
http://www.freefilehosting.net/voicetalk
3. Install like any other apk (NO NEED TO INSTALL IN SYSTEM/APPS

link is broken. can you fix please? would love to try on my vibrant with latest cm9 build.
thanks.
edit: found a working link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64304080/voicetalk.apk
installed, but is very inconsistent. doesn't seem to hear the commands. uninstalling.
standard voice control works much better and does pretty much the same.
Fixed link, I just like how it talks back lol. Everything is slower on my Vibrant, I come from HD2 which has more ram, but maybe I just need add some tweaks or something.
I just posted it because in the thread from the Samsung Note want to clear on how to install it

6 annoying ICS ... Flop

1)Under developer settings. Where u set the process limit it resets all the time.
2) When I use my camera and then back out of the camera my auto brightness turns off.
3)Edit: The REG 99 error on WiFi stinks. - known issue... Called tmo
4)Edit again: lock screen shortcuts? Can't change them anymore?- Addressed
5) I also noticed that when my mobile network data is off my 4g icon still pops up and shows sending and receiving. When I check settings it's off.
6) when u go into the phone and then press home and enter task manager, you can kill the processes and press back. When u do it switches between phone and task manager and will not. back o unless.
A bit annoying on these things. Anyone know of a solution? And Glacier if this is as simple as pinch the screen I'm sorry lol!

What about being able to change the volume with the phone locked? I thought this was a new feature? I see I can pull down the status bar from the lock screen and then adjust the volume, but this is just as many steps as unlocking the phone and changing the volume!
ALSO, what happened to the Panorama mode aka SweepShot for the camera? It dun work no more!

[Q] Home button and weird text

Anyone else experiencing a slight lag when pressing the home button and it going to the home launcher? It's like.. a second. You press it and it waits a second and then goes.
Also, anyone else seeing weird dots on some letters? For instance, sometimes on the letter "r" on a page, I'll see a little dot on all the "r"s on the page. They scroll right along with the letter. I set it to small font, so that might be it. I put it back to normal and am trying to see if it'll happen again, just checking to see if anyone else has this issue.
Thanks
Anyone? :<
I have not seen this. Are you using a different launcher?
Can you screenshot these dots? I'm curious.
Yes I would say there is probably a 1 second delay between when I press the home button while in an app and the time the home screen comes up which I assume is normal. I have not seen the "r" issue but I also haven't changed text size... although I did change from the default font to another one without any issues.
I've been trying to get it to do the dot issue all day since switching to normal sized fonts. I'll try to switch back and see if it does it and get a screenshot.
I'm just using the stock TW launcher, I'm rooted though. I had this before root, though.

Notice the lines in the capital H's and the little dots on the lowercase n's? It goes away after you switch screens, but it'll hijack one letter and add a dot somewhere on the letter on the entire page. This is on default normal sized font. Haven't tried factory restore yet.
Do you have s Voice off? And I haven't seen the other problem, to turn off s Voice, double click on hone button, go to settings and make sure you check off on double click option and it will work faster to get hmto home screen

Exactly, it is waiting to see if there will be a second tap to activate S-voice, or a hold to bring up task manager.

Skinomi, but they still charge you $2-3 for a replacement, instead of the full $12. Maybe I'll try a different one this time because the Skinomi was being torn up around the edges from my TPU case.
EDIT: Just called them, they're going to be sending me a replacement screen protector free of charge! She said that you need to let it adhere for a few days without the case, and they make them with a little leeway so that cases don't tear them up. What great customer service! Going to exchange my phone tonight. Nobody else has had this issue it seems so exchanging should solve it. Hopefully I don't get another problem with a new one.

Unable to install apps from SD Card. ( Solved )

I am unable to install apps from my sd card even though I have Install from Unknown Sources checked under Security Settings. I have attached a screen shot where I have a PowerAmp Unlocker which I brought from their website instead of the Play Store. I am unable to Install it. When I try to press Install nothing happens. But if I tap on Cancel it exits out. Any suggestions as to how to solve this problem?

I cant do that. I am switching from a Galaxy R I bought it a good while back. I did a factory reset, after that. It worked. But after that I tried again with a different app same issue. I think something is getting installer either through the updates or something else thats causing it not to work again.

I cant do that. I am switching from a Galaxy R I bought it a good while back. I did a factory reset, after that. It worked. But after that I tried again with a different app same issue. I think something is getting installer either through the updates or something else thats causing it not to work again.

This seems to be a jellybean bug, my s3 and my N7 suffer from it occasionally.
Keep trying is all I can say, it will work eventually, keep tapping install, or try to long press home to switch to another screen and back.
Or press cancel and start over.

Nope nothing still can't get to work. Its funny coz after I do a factory reset it works. As soon as I install some apps it stops working. Oh well.

I figured out the problem. It was Screen Adjuster that disabled my Install button. So if you have Screen Adjuster installed. Disable it by going into Settings> Manage Applications > All > Screen Adjuster. Then install whatever app you want to install. Then re enable it. It works.

:good: It worked for me also as I was having the same problem caused by Screen adjuster!
Cant install apps from my SD card in my Micromax A116 Canvas HD & there is no screen adjuster app installed into the device.

Terrible Camera Lag

Hello Guys, I recently purchased an GT-I9100 SG S2 and it has a terrible camera lag
it is as follows:
If i´m in the home screen i touch the cam icon and it comes up but it takes like 3 minutes to load and focus, all it shows is a black screen like if the camera lens was covered by something, then after a few moments something comes up but it freezes, like if i move the phone to focus on something else i still see what i previously had for a few minutes, and that happens perhaps for a few minutes more, then when it finally decides to work and i take one or 2 pictures, it works fine, but that´s after perhaps 4-5 minutes of waiting.
I´ve noticed that if i use lower settings it takes less time to power up, if i go down from 8Mpx to 3.2Mpx it does take a considerable lower amount of time to warm up and be ready to shoot, but in any case it lags, and not only that, sometimes i see green portions and purple like grainy pixelization.
Any Suggestions or ideas?
which rom you are using ? also post a screenshot of Setting>about phone
something like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here it is
try updating!
If the error persists, then the camera is broken.
There you go
just in case the screenshot cant be seen

What you mean by update?
I tried Kies and it says i can't update, besides that phone had JB before and was downgraded to ICS because of stability issues besides the camera thing, so i don't think that that's the probem but if you tell me something new I'm open to suggestions.
Maybe you should try installing an alternative camera app from the Play Store. I'm not sure if it's going to help but the problem you have might be purely software related. There are some free ones so just try one and see if the problem persists.

I've been using Instagram and it does the exact same thing, haven't tried other versions but will do
I've also noticed that the camera does a very mild clicking sound when is warming up so I'm not sure what could be the problem here.

I think Instagram uses your phones default camera app to take photos but I could be wrong. I hope the problem won't persist once you download a new camera app. Otherwise root your phone and flash CM9 or any other stable ROM. If that doesn't fix it either, then your phone's camera is faulty and you should get a new one.
Try a different kernels. Or use a rom based on XXLSJ e.g omega Rom for galaxy S 2
Try camera zoom FX for camera app

You can try a different Rom. Find a rom for 9100, and flash it. I fixed a 9100's camera by flashing a omega (XXLSJ). So you should find a Rom specific for your set, flash it. Hopefully out will solve it.
I would recommend using OMEGA v16 (XXLSJ) , selecting custom installation, and select Jelly beans 4.2 camera

Also clean the lens using a soft cloth

*coughs*
And potentially bork his phone ? If you'd read the thread you'd know he has an I9100.
Solid advice

Sorry, I confused the SG with G. That is why I emphasized on "your set"
I will correct it

Yes I've gone to settings>apps>all>Camera and touched "Clear Data"
It certainly works sometimes but is not a defnite solution to the problem
I as actually about to buy a new camera on ebay, one of those replacements modules but i guess it is not a good option without asking first.
