It looks like a hardware issue to me.

And everything was so nice and smooth, on a new FULL RAM version by BUZZ, AND suddenly screen got all messed up. I have had the same issue and heared that some of you had it before as well. UNFORTUNATELY it hasn't been fixed.
I was reading my Lessons in .PDF using Adobe PDF Reader For PPC in LANDSCAPE MODE, and suddenly it told me NOT ENOUGH MEMMORY, got back to RESCO EXPLORER, and freezed. I have done a soft reset, everything went back to normal, it's just ALL THE ONSCREEN BUTTONS STAYED IN THE LANDSCAPE MODE, AND THE ACTUAL SCREEN IN A PORTRAIT MODE.
Now that is very annoying, but i learned to PRESS START, SCROL DOWN using a navigation keys, GET TO SETTINGS, AND CHANGE SCREEN TO "LANDSCAPE MODE AGAIN" , RESTART, AND YOU ARE BACK ON TRACK.
thisis a very annoying issue, but we are going to have to live with it coz WE LOVE OUR MAGNETO....
Avoiding the problem

yup, i hv same case with svyatko
now i scare to try landscape mode coz dunno how to back to portrait mode
with stilus. n only use nav pad.
btw why wm2005 camera cant full screen like wm2003 ??
So. I have a problem. After I rooted the phone with Gingerbreak, the autorotate is not working any more. I don't think the problem is because of the root, but the damn thing is not working in games too....
Any ideas ?
Forget
Forget about this and sorry about the post. I have shut down the phone ( With the auto rotate screen option off ) , take off the battery, put it back in, turn on the phone and enable the Auto Rotate Screen option. Done. The accelerometer is back again
The Gyro sensor stop working on my Xperia S with .75 stock rom, the screen will not be rotate at all, I have tried the master reset, still doesn't work. If I use the compass, the screen goes blank and then restart. Please advise
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the phone does not use the Gyro in order to rotate screen. It uses the accelerometer...
And there must be an option to enable/disable it from the settings (I do not have the phone right now to be sure).
You turn it off in option, and you above me are correct.

The problem is the auto rotation option is already enabled, the accelerometer is control the screen rotation, while the gyro sensor detects the movement of the phone, they are both not working for some reasons, if I restart the phone, it might work for a while and then stop working again.
Use this code in dialer and test them

It says function not built in!!
Not built in?!?
Maybe you should head to Sony Service!
reflashed
NO the gyro+ accelerometer are built in the phone definately
since is work in my one !
Did you dropped, hitted?
try to re flash using PCC if not 99% your phone will have 2-3 weeks holiday from you in Sony repair center because it the hardware problem. guess
Tried to restore it to the factory setting, reflashed through PCC. It is still the same. It might work for couple of minutes or otherwise hours, but then it starts not working again. It is really annoying! The funny bit is the display would just stay horizontally, no matter which way I hold the phone while the "auto rotation" option is enabled.
Probably send to the service centre is the only way, as my screen has the yellowish problem too. I need to get it fix anyway.

AUTO ROTATION PROBLEM:
Tried on xperia p
TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK OR ASK PROFESSIONAL !!!
I solved it by opening the phone and then tapping the gyro sensor IC a bit. After that auto rotate started working and no problem uptill now.

Where is it located?
Thanks!
When i got my S3 the home screen is always at portrait mode even if the screen rotation is on and i turn the phone sideways. But after 2 firmware updates I'm now on XXBLFB the phone suddenly can go to landscape mode. My problem is it is now stuck on landscape mode even if the phone is already vertical.. Any one has the same issue? Need your help on this.. thanks

Hi. Have you tried going to Settings> Display and scroll to the bottom page, then select Gyroscope calibration? Most probably it will fix your issue after you calibrate it
Either calibration,but also the launcher(not tw launcher,i think) has this option to set screen rotation.
Look in launcher settings
Washing my car I threw my phone on the dash, it was in the sun facedown for about 20min, doors open... Since then the auto rotate doesn't want to turn off, even though its off in the settings, ontop of that it thinks bottom is left when upright...ive cycled auto rotate and power, no luck.. Any ideas?
Did you reboot it?
I've done everything but wipe the phone. Think its a hardware issue, but the g-sensor works fine..
Now when I charge the lockscreen goes horizontal, auto rotate is still off...
Help plz..
are you using a specific app for it or is it a setting in a custom ROM?
