ive had my amaze for awhile. and for the longest time it will not rotate into landscape when im in youtube,camera, or web sites.
everything on the phone is stock and on ginger bread. ive reboot, did the calibration, etc. ive tried every option i could think of. i have not down loaded any games or apps other then what comes with the phone.
finally i down loaded the android sensor app. and it says the "waiting for response" on acceleromter, gyo and another sensor i forgot(maybe GPS). but my map app works fine.
anyone have the same problem or fix?
thanks
I say completely wipe the phone in hboot or update to ics. If issues still occur try rooting and installing a different rom. If still present put back in stock and have it replaced if you can

I too have had this issue periodically, I noticed that on AOSP ROM's it tends to happen more often than not.
Yes I check ALL the auto rotation settings etc. in the ROM
I end up using Auto Rotate from the playstore when on some ROM's, still a pain in the arse because it will not Auto, I have to select rotate to get it to work
I am now on Viper 1.7.+ and rotation is working again
What's the permanent fix?
Come on all you Genius Dev's, this should be easy for you
Something is missing/being left out of some ROM's?

That autorotate app is in Sense ROM's by default?
And if yes, do you think it can be used with other ROM's?

Has anyone else had this issue with auto rotate? Using the community rom obviously. Another issue I have been having with it is going in and out of airplane mode, more often than not it won't pick up signal again and requires a reboot. Which is no where near as annoying compared to the auto rotate (yes I tried disabling it on both the pull down and in the settings -> display menu).

the next version of community rom (1.3) will have a version of the rotating launcher2 that can be enabled by the power control toggles....the newest tsm/psykdup mods enable this, but the launcher had to be edited accordingly
so hold on a *little* bit longer
Good to know im also having this problem and it really sucks but I guess its better than problems that come with ota froyo

I use adw launcher on comm rom and mine stays in portrait
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
since ive upgraded to 1.2 my home screen doesnt rotate anymore
like i said before..the launcher in 1.3 will *when its out* allow for toggling of rotation from the power controls
was it disabled in 1.2? because after i updated my screen no longer rotates. im glad because it got real annoying. im only bringing this up because if it was, the OP can just update to the newest version to fix his problem
Dont turn your phone sideways!
I use wolf rom v3.8 and auto brightness function don't work. I checked other roms and it was the same. How can I turn it on?
u cant turn it on i think u need to try with power widget ..that has the auto brightness option ..works for me though, should for u too !!
Thank me if it worked !!
I used a lot of different power widgets and they show auto brightness icon, but nothing changes. Android Assistant widget has list of sensors available in phone and under Light Sensor I have: not support? wtf?

Lesmian, why don't you try ewjet rom? So far is the best rom out there.. smoother and faster and works flawlessly, including auto brightness feature.
Is auto brightness not working at all or you just cant find the option for it? Mine works fine but no option to enable or disable.

autobrightness always was VERY subtle on my x10i, it even works "better" on my ZTE Blade, so you may just not see it, the only time i really noticed it was when i was reading on the train and drove through a tunnel.

Hmm. Maybe its true that just not see it. But I did a couple of tests. I lower my brightness and then I put phone under lamp. Nothing changes. Then I increased brightness and cover sensor with my finger, still nothing changes. ;/

If you mean wolf rom FAQ section I read it. And it says that auto brightness works with power control widget. I used it and it doesn't work with my phone. Btw I don't know why you LOL? I did something wrong?
Auto Brightness
I may be able to add some insight into our auto brightness problem. I know it was disabled in 2.1 apparently. First question does anyone know if it was enabled in 2.3.3?
I am currently running a generic X10i with Virgin WB 4.0.4 ROM and DooM Kernel v04b. I use Juice Ultimate Beta v3.6.6. There is a brightness control in JD and I have noticed that on my phone it says brightness sensor unavailable.
The other thought I have is that maybe it is available in x10a's and not x10i's. This may explain the wide variations in people who have it working and people who don't. I have also tried the second step (e.g. larger cirle icon) of the brightness widget in WB's rom which is mentioned in the ROM thread that didn't enable auto brightness. My phone came with 2.1 installed and I have never had auto brightness. This may also be another reason.
I might try and flash 1.6 if I can find it and see what happens. Can anyone think of a reason why I shouldn't try this. I assume I would need to flash a 1.6 basband first.
Any more thoughts would be appreciated.
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

could u tell me an App what do all 4Axis by auto rotation?

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.
Hello guys. My new S2 has a problem. When i activate Auto rotation it only works in landscape mode, but when i try to put it in portrait it doesn't work, no matter what position i rotate my phone in. I think the problem is the accelerometer sensor. How can i fix it?

The first thing for me to try is always a factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik and do full reset. 9 times out of ten this has fixed issues for me.
If it doesn't work then you can go into test mode on your phone and test the accelerometer. Open dial pad and dial *#0*#
That'll give you some idea if it's the accelerometer

dude plz helppp......................I have to keep auto rotate off.:crying::crying:
It will rotate Landscape, but won't return to portrait.
It wil flip Landscape on one side and Landscapeon the other side, but won't do portrait, till auto rotate is turned off.

You both have to provide your ROM details.
Anyways, if you guys are running CM9, CM10 or any AOKP based Roms, then the instructions below should solve your problems:
1. Goto settings - Display
2. Under ROTATION, enable every option you find there.
All should be well if you the simple instructions.
If you have any more questions, do let me know

I'm on AOKP JB 4.2.2 MR1- Build 5 with my GT-i9100. When I try auto rotate after a reboot it works. 10 minutes later it won't work anymore but after some time it might work again and after that it's stuck in one position again. Calibrating my device doesn't help and I can't find anything else in settings that could help. Thanks in advance.
Bump, sorry if this is annoying but I want to respond in main AOKP channel, can't do it as I'm a ''junior'' member. I just need my answer

I have the same problem! Have officially 4.1.2. Any suggestion i will appreciate because it is so annoying and making me desperate.
Just to mention, in Camera mode, it is flipping normally from Landscape to Portrait and contrary.
my camera can`t stop rotating even with rotation and motion turned off.. i snap a picture holding the phone straight(portrait) and the pictures come randomly...one is upside down , the other is sideways. And i have the same problem with different roms? now i`m with alliance rom 7.3 and before that i was with chamelion rom

An easy fix for me on rotation issue
Hey i had the same issue as well, and i followed some of the other instructions in trying to wipe my cache and factory reset to fix the isse, nothing happened my sensors were still off when i tested it and i could put it to landscape, but i could not get it back to portrait. and i also tried some other suggestions as well. Finally i decided i was going to live with it until i found this app call (auto rotate widget) by jason hull, i would post a link but i just registered.
Some how this app fixed my phone and all i did was install it, i never touched any of the settings and now my sensors are back to normal and the phone is rotating perfect now.
Does anyone have this issue with Viper rom? First off its the best rom ive used. I had updraded from 2.0.0. to the 2.0.2. and died a wipe cache & dalvik before doing so- it was a new insureance replacement. Everything worked well but recently the home screen rosie landscape and lock screen automatic orientation (to include landscape) is not working. I have restarted the phone to make sure both were checked to work and the lock screen worked once doing so but home screen didnt. Now neither has worked. Might anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it? I use the phone alot in landscape and it no longer works that way at all.
Thanks,
TJ
