[Q] Screen Rotation Nexus 7 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today my Nexus 7 (2012) auto-rotate function quit. I have only had the device for about a week (bought it on sale and it is brand new).
I have searched high and low to get an answer for this issue with no luck.
I have tried installing various launchers, rotation apps, and even re-calibrated the device. I would factory wipe, but I have read that this likely does not solve this issue (though there is no definitive answer as to what does).
The only thing that rotates the screen is opening a app that functions in landscape, but then it will be stuck in landscape. One rotation app will rotate the screen, but only if I press "portrait" or "landscape" each time to change the screen, but not on auto-rotate.
Does anyone have any idea what the cause could be?
My only suspicion of cause might be when I "force stopped" and "cleared data" of the Google Services Framework in hopes of getting 4.4 faster (which I quickly read is a big no-no).
I side-loaded 4.4 tonight and hoped that it would correct the auto-rotate issue, but it has not. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just did a factory wipe and can confirm that this does not address the problem...

So I have narrowed the issue down a bit. In safe mode the auto-rotate will work. Though I am not sure which app is causing the issue, or how to find out, particularly since I did a clean install--there are only so many apps on the device.

You two options.
One, is to wipe all partitions and flash new 4.3 images clean.
Two, you can try an Xposed Framework module called GravityBox that has a feature in Display Tweaks for allowing all rotations.
This interacts directly with values in the code of the corresponding apk.
Heres a link to both http://dl-count.xposed.info/modules/com.ceco.gm2.gravitybox_v47_2d3946.apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Now #2 is the route that will mostly fix the issue however if both of these dont fix the issue then you are left with a hardware problem.
ie: the sensor for rotation is broken.

Thank you for taking to provide some input. I am happy to report (though baffled) that the auto-rotate feature randomly starting working again last night. Doesn't really help in terms of future understanding, but problem has been resolved.
In case one of these worked, I did the following:
Sideloaded 4.4
(seeing that it didn't help) Did factory wipe/cleared data--still not working.
Booted in Safety mode (hold the 'power off' selection after pressing power button to shut down, auto-rotate worked in safety mode, which showed that it was likely related to a 3rd party app.
Randomly starts working again.

[Q]Graphic Rendering Problem?

I face a problem which is about the graphical rendering.
Some apps some button will appear as broken which makes me confuse.
And also when I using the browser to surf on some flash video website, it appear to have some broken rendering problem.
Just like the one you may got on computer 3D rendering.
I know the above are hard to understand, but I really don't know how to present those idea.
Sorry for that and also my bad English.
Thanks everyone who came in this post.
This shows the problem when using friendcaster.
Huh, sorry you are having issues. I have yet to see anything like this on mine.
Hope someone has an answer for you.
I'm not sure entirely what you are asking here... so I'll just ask you, what's wrong in the picture?
However, sometimes while web-browsing, certain pages won't show properly (things missing, or off page and you can't scroll to them). Often this can be fixed by changing the setting of the browser to load pages in PC format, (or tablet/phone/ipad). Sometimes just getting a different internet browser can help too.
As for apps having missing buttons - this could possibly be fixed by going into setting>manage applications>(whatever app it is)
-clear cache
-clear data
Then try opening it again. If it still doesn't work properly, uninstalling it and re-installing it might help (this worked for a friend with his phone just last night).
If you are really desperate to try everything, factory resetting your tablet might help - though you will loose all your data and it isn't garaunteed to help .
Other than that, you have to keep in mind that developers don't exactly have every device made available for them to test their apps on, and this being a honeycomb device, it already has lots of compatibility issues they have to tackle - perhaps a polite email to the developer of the app explaining your problem would result in them eventually making a fix for it. Be sure to include your version of Android (in full) and device name to help him narrow it down.
I wouldn't hold your breath waiting - I sent Gameloft a very polite email over a month ago requesting their support for sony tablet s, and so far, no change (half their games are still not compatibile).
sometimes on apps that aren't 100% compatable with the screen ratio or resolution, i have to press the little square with the arrows pointed outward near the clock and press either "stretch to fill screen" or "zoom to fit screen"
i had the same button issues with speedtest.net app
Thanks everyone who reply on this issue.
Actually what I am facing is about the "triangle" broken mark appear in the picture which show up in the app "Friendcaster".
I think the app should be a pad version as there were no arrow icon.
I am wondering is this a common issue, as I found out the issue of video site is a common one as I have a try out with some display tablet in the retailer.

Please star and confirm it there if you can to get this item noticed:
1. Nexus 10 - KRT160 - Homescreen not redrawing Google Search if you flick items off instead of dragging to remove
2. Settings force close if you have evernote installed and click on its icon in settings and clicking the Evernote account
I always wanted to reserve..

Confirmed..
Hey developers.. Would you consider this an Android problem or a developers app not compatible with 4.4 problem?
I would report this to the app developer. He will be able to file a more detailed bug report if not fix it himself
I cannot drag and drop app icon from App drawer to the Home screen. Every time I try this I just load the app. It doesn't matter for how long I'm holding the app icon. Maybe this is due to the low battery, which is doubtful. Reboot doesn't help. Please kindly let me know if I'm not the only one with such weirdness.
This is definitely some malfunction since per Android 4.4 User Guide (http://www.google.com/help/hc/images/android/android_ug_42/Android-Quick-Start-Guide.pdf):
To add an app icon to a Home screen:
1. Go to the Home screen where you want to place the app.
2. Touch theAll Apps icon.
3. Swipe from right to left, if necessary, to find the app you want.
4. Touch & hold the app until the Home screen appears, slide it into place, and lift your finger
Edit:
Found out that this only happens when the device is plugged with USB cable. Maybe this is a feature not a bug...

styckx,
Just a small suggestion for the bug list. Rather than have a raw URL link please make the subject title the URL link. For example the first bug:
Nexus 10 - KRT160 - Homescreen not redrawing Google Search if you flick items off instead of dragging to remove
In this way your list will be is easier to scan. Thanks for creating this thread.

Has anyone noticed that since the upgrade to 4.4 that your device is staying awake? Seems to be caused by Android system. It doesn't sleep anymore and it's draining my battery because of this. Anyone found out what the problem is? I read on another forum that it's being caused by the Google Keyboard that is shipped with 4.4, if I change the keyboard with the 1,2,3 layout, will this solve the battery drain issue? This is weird man......
Thanks for the replies!

Haven't had a look at battery stats or anything but I got over 6 hours screen on time yesterday, so I can't say i've got a problem with battery life
Here's a screenshot I made. To verify it, I disabled the keyboard for a moment, and indeed, the device went to sleep. I then re-enabled the keyboard and again the device won't sleep! Without use I lost 5% of my battery in just 30 minutes. Anyone knows how I can update the keyboard with the newest version?
I think I solved the problem. I turned off Hotword detection under Google Now settings, and then Voice. Seems to have done the trick! Now when the screen is switched off the device goes to sleep. This is weird though, it should switch off when the screen is off but it doesn't! So, I think this is a legitimate bug that needs fixing! Can someone give this a try and report back if this solution helped?

[Q] Galaxy S2 Camera Problem...

I have a Galaxy S2 that I'm trying to get working right for my Daughter.
It has a problem with the camera. The phone works fine in it's entirety, except the camera. When you go into it, all looks fine, except the screen is blank. The icons are all there, they rotate as you rotate the screen, then 'depress' when you press them, but nothing actually works. The menu button at the bottom brings up the 'Edit Shortcuts' function, but at this point the camera app hangs and the only way to get out of it is to press the 'Home Button. Going back into the camera, it's where it was left, but still unresponsive. Here is a video of what it does, apologies that it's not always in focus, but gives the idea.
(I'm unable to post a YouTube link!! - Please go to YouTube and add this to the address - /watch?v=pxvZKN8opFA
I've tried :-
Clear Camera Data
Factory Reset
Factory Reset + Wipe Cache
Reinstall Factory ROM package via Odin (XEU-I9100XWLSW)
...and various combinations of the above.
The phone is usable, but I'm a stubborn SOB and I really want to get it all working. Any ideas? I've seen a few threads over the 'net but nothing has helped me diagnose the problem with this phone....
Given you've already tried the obvious, it's fairly obvious what's going on & what the problem/fix is - the sensor is probably cactus = replace camera (if the working camera is important).

To be honest, it's not that obvious.
If it's the camera module at fault, it might be worth repairing. However, if it's more likely to be the motherboard, then probably not. Hence the question, to see if anyone had encountered the same problem.
To be honest, there's no way of telling whether it's the motherboard or camera module......
We don't have the phone in front of us to be able to diagnose the possible reasons. The camera breaking (for whatever reason) is a very rare occurrence for the S2, I think your thread is only about the 3rd thread of this type I've seen in nearly 20 months on this forum. The camera module itself is reasonably cheap/easy to replace......that is where I'd look first.....but (if memory serves me) I think I've read that there are 2 different versions of the module and they're not cross compatible..... So be aware that this might be a potential stumbling block.....
Here might be a good place to start your search......

Display issue on game applications. [Galaxy s6 running marshmallow]

Okay, so as of yesterday, march 27, I have been having severe issues with my display becoming an extremely low resolution and pixelated to the point where nothing is legible or recognizable.
I've included a link to two two screenshots and their descriptions are as follows...
Picture 1, final Fantasy brave exvius main loading screen
Picture 2, Vainglory mode select screen
Picture 3, clash of clans loading screen.
I've done a factory reset, wiped all data under the sun from my phone. Installed and reinstalled games repeatedly but no fix. Can't seem to find a solution anywhere.
I've tried optimizing graphics apps but no bueno. Even tried battery optimization off for all apps. No fix. Only on game apps. Everything else runs as it should.
Please assist if a solution has been found for an issue as this.
Edit okay so I can't post links so message me if interested and I can send you the photos.
My post here helped me.

I tried Game Tuner just for the sake of it, but it blurs me again somehow. So no, I won't use Game Tuner (I never did, anyway.)

I tried reverting the game optimization back to its original version by uninstalling updates, clearing the factory default gameservice cache. It causes occasional flashing on game restarts and I have to repatriation the process, but resolves the the lower resolution issue.
I very much appreciate the call out on the other thread!
However I run into the slight annoyance of having to do this several times during a normal day of usage. It never actually saves the setting. I do not have root access as this is the factory Verizon build for marshmallow. (I wouldn't be able to do that on this worn thing).
Caveat: along with the "ghost" reapplying the game optimization services update and causing it all to happen again, what would be a good recommendate on for keeping the service at a factory setting?
Edit: skipped that infernal game Tuner altogether. It proved trivial to what the issue actually is...and was useless in the entire process.

Recent Apps menu not working sometimes

This happens anytime I boot the device and the problem can persist up to many hours until the menu just decides to work...
Basically whether I use gesture controls or nav buttons, the recent Apps menu does not work. Kind of a big problem for me because I'm a heavy multi-view user.
I mash the button, hold them down, reboot the device, unistalled Nova because it's the one app that brings up anything about recent...
I looked around the forum some, is no one really not also dealing with this problem?
Also how do I boot into recovery mode, and can I boot into fastboot? My OEM toggle isn't grayed out
I haven't had this issue, and I replaced LG's Home Launcher with Nova Prime on my first day.
I also replaced the stock Android 10 gestures with Fluid Navigation Gestures.
I suppose there could be something about how FNG triggers the Recents panel that makes it more reliable/consistent, but I kind of doubt it.
I basically have my phone set up as a super-charged replacement for my beloved but aging LG V30.
Even without root, everything is gravy so far.
You can access ADB commands and Fastboot for certain apps to get around not having root (it's why I can have FNG force-hide the Navigation Bar despite disabling Android 10's stock gestures), but I do not think there is a way to reboot to the Bootloader.
I did find some instructions about holding down the Volume Up + Power buttons to boot into Recovery, but it appears to be a generic copy-paste rooting instructions taken from other phones and adapted for the LG V60 without actually verifying that it works. The article even mentions that it's a generic article that works for "most phones" and implies that it may not be viable for our phone. So... /shrug
I factory reset, and I thought the problem was fixed, but after I booted/rebooted again, the problem persisted again.
Would it have anything to do with uninstalling apps?
Almost immediately after I factory reset I went straight to uninstalling most the pre-loaded Google apps I was able to remove and the t-mobile & LG apps like Whale instead. I also Uninstaller the game loft games too.
My knowledge of Android tells me that shouldn't be the case, especially since they werent considered system apps, but from a fresh install this shouldn't be an issue.
I should also point out that I have show touches and touch data enabled, and I can touch/see the button reacting to my inputs, it's just not responding with the function
That is an unusual issue. Sounds like you tried it all. You might call LG or its time for that phone to take a trip back to T-Mobile. Best of luck.

I used ADB to uninstall a toooooon of LG and AT&T bloat and a bunch of pre-installed games.
I was being somewhat aggressive with my uninstalls, and did not consult a guide about what was safe and what wasn't (mainly, because I couldn't find one for our phone).
I haven't had a single issue with the Recents panel not pulling up. That said, with Nova and FNG, I'm not using whatever stock solutions exist out-of-the-box for pulling up Recents.
You did mention Nova in your OP, but have you tried some third-party gesture or buttons solutions for pulling up your Recents? Do they fail too?
It's also my understanding that uninstalling bloat via ADB is not a permanent solution (I can still see the apps in my apps list in Settings, they just have a "not installed" next to them, or some such). I recall reading that a factory reset will restore all of them. Since your issue is persisting after a factory reset, I have to assume the problem is not related to anything you uninstalled.
Are you on the newest system firmware? I believe T-Mo and know for sure that AT&T have released updates bringing Android's April 2020 security patch to our devices. There MAY be some minor bug fixes included with the roll-out.
If you're still experiencing issues after the firmware update and factory resets, I'll have to echo minoch's advice and suggest that you consider getting an in-warranty exchange either via your carrier or LG directly, whichever is faster/easier. If going to your carrier, try to make sure that you're phone is currently experiencing the bug in order to be able to demonstrate it to the store rep to expedite the exchange.

Sorry for the double post, but I was interacting in another thread (A Worthy Upgrade? URL: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v60-thinq/help/worthy-upgrade-t4083111) and someone there reported issues with the Recents Panel not working properly at times. They seemed to narrow it down to using pop-up instances of apps. Maybe hit up that thread for more details. But are you using pop-up windows in conjunction with Nova as well? There seems to be some kind of conflict there, though it's an issue I'm not experiencing, since I'm using Fluid Navigation Gestures for most of my gestures, not Nova's gestures (or the stock Android 10 gestures).
Recent software update from TMobile fixed that issue for me

I have this problem and usually occurs when I decide to use multi window. After I'm done using multi-window recent apps don't work I just see my current wallpaper and nothing else. I get it to work again by switching from gestures to navigation buttons or vice versa.

While I am a heavy multi-window / PiP user and that may be the issue, the problem starts when I boot or reboot, before I even have the chance to use it.
I have tried switching between gesture and buttons before creating this thread but that didn't work.
It's a little less stressful though to know I'm not crazy and am not the only one dealing with this issue

I use Nova, but I'm not using gestures for navigation, I opted to use buttons instead, but the problem (when it happens) persists when I use either navigation method. Pulling up from the bottom and holding to bring up recent doesn't work.
Also on Nova you can create shortcut buttons to bring up recent that don't involve the navigation, but that still doesn't work. Recent as a function just doesn't appear to work... Until sometime later, it decides to want to.
Then after that there's no more problems.... Until I reboot or turnoff the device, then I gotta deal with the issue again.
This happens with and without the dual screen case

I wouldn't say I tried everything, just maybe everything I can think of on my own without root. I even googled the problem on other phones, they suggested activating Google assistant for whatever reason, which I tried and surprisingly it worked, but when the recent problem came back, the assistant thing didn't fix it again. I guess it was a placebo effect like blowing into old NES carts to get them to work

Other than maybe trying a third-party gestures app (such as Fluid Navigation Gestures, which I'm using and not experiencing anything remotely resembling this issue), I'm out of ideas.
Best of luck! And if you manage to solve the problem, please return here and post your solution. It could be of help to others.
I noticed lg let's you record your screen so I posted one on my first post showcasing my navigation woes

I rather have buttons but the app doesn't work anyway because recents as a function isn't responding
Hmmmm, I'm out of ideas. I don't know what else to try. :/

This happens anytime I boot the device and the problem can persist up to many hours until the menu just decides to work...
Basically whether I use gesture controls or nav buttons, the recent Apps menu does not work. Kind of a big problem for me because I'm a heavy multi-view user.
I mash the button, hold them down, reboot the device, unistalled Nova because it's the one app that brings up anything about recent...
I looked around the forum some, is no one really not also dealing with this problem?
Also how do I boot into recovery mode, and can I boot into fastboot? My OEM toggle isn't grayed out

Thread is getting old but heck if someone happens to come across it searching, might help for them. Don't judge, you know who you are.
SOLUTION:
@Chocolina @Mejilan
*My Device - USA S21 Ultra Verzion oem, loaded latest Tmobile FW as of this writting via odin v3.14.1_3B_P.*
De-bloated 245 apps with 210 left, which i left alone.
Had the the same problem.
Decided to adb uninstall samsungs OneUI launcher (com.sec.android.app.launcher) as part of de-bloat process, i generally use Nova Prime Launcher as default.
Thought it might be gestures related or some overlays i removed.
Restored all packages back to default then one by one uninstalling this time rebooting after every one uninstall.
Though it was the default launcher at 1st, restored it, problem was i restored it but didn't reboot device.
It turned out uninstalling Samsungs default launcher called OneUi caused this issue, enabling/restoring it made the recent apps button function again.
Reinstall your default launcher. Fixed for me, execute the command then reboot device.
could we edit recents app code in android studio?
