Wallpaper issue when rotating!

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.

[Q] youtube full screen w/o having screen rotate on??

hi just wondering if it's just me or others r having this issue. to get youtube to go full screen I need to have screen rotate on. coming from sgsII all you had to do was turn the phone and u didn't need rotate turned on. maybe I'm missing a setting
if there is a workaround or fix I would to hear about it
I have auto roate off and I just had to double tap the video. On my Evo I could press down and hold on the video and hit the maximize icon that popped up.
I tried double tapping... I'm on youtube version 4.0.8e if that helps and I'm on stock i747 rom
anyone?
Happens with ICS on the Sprint SGS2 as well. Seems to be a TouchWiz issue because CM9 rotates like it should. Not sure if there's a workaround other than waiting for CM9 to make its way here.

Same here!
I'm using Apex Launcher but i don't know if touchwiz is doing something in the background. Double-touch doesn't work neither.
it might just be with youtube 4.0.8e... anyone else having this problem?

Auto Rotation problem

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.

Landscape mode all screens

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

Razr XT910 accelerometer issue

Greetings,
Today my Razr XT910 is showing a weird behavior. The screen is not rotating. The option to auto rotate is enabled, but the phone does not rotate.
Tried a Bubble app and it is not marking any movement.
I installed AndoSensor to check everything and the app reports the accelerometer flawlessly. The screen even ROTATES inside the app! When I close the app, even with the device in landscape and the screen perfectly rotated, the phone goes back to portrait mode and nothing else detects the movement.
It´s a brand new phone (got it last tuesday) Im using ICS stock, rooted.
Any ideas?
