Noticed that in at least a couple of apps I installed last night (Words with Friends was one) that when it runs, it forces a portrait orientation that is bizarre. If your typical Portrait is a quarter-turn clockwise from Landscape with the power switch at top left, then this portrait is completely upside down from that, so that your power button would be on the bottom. There was at least one more that did this, perhaps Waze(?) but just wondered if there was a setting to unlock the accelerometer on apps like this...once it starts, it doesn't matter what direction you spin the tablet.
TIA
I run dailyroads voyager as dashcam. My sgs2 is seated in the carholder in the left corner of the front window, allowing the cables to be neatly stuffed away behind my doorrubbers.
But: this means I can only rotate the phone counter-clockwise. This is not supported by dailyroads voyager (or any other dashcam-app). They'll just display clockwise landscape, rendering the buttons etcetera upsidedown...
Is there any way to force counter clockwise? I read about it being implemented in some custom rom for another phone...

Anybody knows how to force counter-clockwise landscape?
I do hope someone replies here because I'd like the same thing. When I play games or hold the phone in landscape, my fingers usually end up covering the speaker. Forcing a counter-clockwise landscape orientation would be great. To the OP, I've looked around myself and haven't found anything.

Found it mentioned in Cyanogenmod... It is on it's way for the SGS2, so maybe if we wait just a little bit longer we can finally rotate counterclockwise (or left landscape versus right landscape, or 270 degrees, or whatever people call it).
Just can't be that hard, now can I it? Really no-one with an easy solution here?
Actually I would like to have 90 degrees landscape, I have by default 270 degrees rotation. This is annoyng because when I play games light sensor is in bottom left corrner. I put my finger over the light sensor and screen goes dark becasue my phone thinks that it is in the dark area. I don't know if I remember correctly but in the first run wizard it was set up. But I don't know where to change it now.
That's exactly what we want too... You're talking about the same

When I hold my phone vertical (portrait or landscape) to take panorama or photosphere photos it's out of alignment and I have to downward it to the earth to adjust the horizon line to the middle of screen. In another word if I hold my phone in 80° its sensor behave like it is in 90°. Attached photos shows the problem. I have rooted my device with official 4.4.2. I couldn't find any helpful guide about how to initialize or calibrate accelerometer or G-Sensor. rotating phone in 8 path, rotating around all 3 axises, restarting device didn't help.
Please help me how to solve this issue. I don't want to reset factory device right know. I've access to all system files if needed. Thanks
Nothing?!
Please help! Any idea might help.
The text on the edge screen (information stream and night clock) is flipped in the opposite direction. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
Screen rotation is still active when the edge notifications are on so you just have to tilt the phone to the orientation you wish to view it at, then place it on a level surface and it should stay that way. Another possible way would be to turn rotation off, but haven't tried that.

Tilt the phone
Hello! I bought a huwaei media tab 3 for a car installation. i open the device to solder a cable to the power button. after that i noticed that the device oriantion is the opposite of what the divece is actually is. For example right landscape is now left landscape. Auto rotation works it detects the change of orientation and changes modes only they are inverted. I tried factory reset still the same problem. What can i try? sure i didnt touch or break anything cause sensor works it detects movements.
