Not condescending... bit auto rotate is ON right?
If so:
Sounds like a kernel oddity.
Reflash the kernel, or entire Rom if you'd like, and see if that helps.
If after you do that it's still isn't right, pick a new rom entirely.
After that if it's still messed up... it's likely hardware and the accelerometer is giving you the finger.

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!
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.
I don't know wheter this is accelerometer or gyroscope, but I have problems with moving from portrait to landscape, vice versa. It goes to landscape abnormaly fast, but when I take it up and want it to use in portrait mode, It doesn't want to move, I have to touch the screen and shake phone a bit and then it would change... I accidently entered calibration gyroscope and tamper in there, how to fix that? Help
I place it on the table in the portrait mode, and after like 5 seconds it changes to landscape. Lol

Yes, I did that, again, still the same.
Download a diagnostics app such as Sensor List (vector rotation sensor) or Z-DeviceTest and check that your X-Y-Z axis are actually changing in "real time". If they are, more than likely a ROM issue and not hardware. Edit: In that case, backup, factory reset. If rooted, same, but also wipe cache and dalvil in recovey before flashing ROM in Recovery or Odin.
I recalibrated like 10 times, cleared cache, and now it's ok. I don't know what was wrong.
I have the same problem with LBP, LBH ICS leaks.
When I played Modern Combat3, the kyroscope always get wrong way.
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

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

I have exact same problem.Have you found the solution?
Perhaps recalibration can sort this out.

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.
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 can't remember if it had it in GB but theres an auto rotation setting in settings/display/Auto-rotate screen

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?

Well, with the HTC sense roms there is a autorotate app

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