I received my sprint s6 edge today and have noticed that the screen will randomly go to landscape while browsing without any or very little movement and then it will get stuck in landscape. The only way to get it back to portrait is to return to the homescreen or another screen that forces portrait view.
Anyone else experiencimg this issue?
It's very odd I seem to be the only person with this problem. I've never had this issue on a phone before. I've noticed it seems to get stuck in landscape most often when using the stock browser, but it does happen with other apps.
My screen doesnt rotate at all .i have galaxy edge sprint version.im ok with it though but it kind of sucks that i cant figure put the issue

Nope .well yes if i force it to like when im in the youtube app for example i can swtich it there by pressing the button. I guess im loving the phone soo much right now that im overlooking the auto rotation as something minor .i hope they push an update to fix it .im still trying to search for a solution myself
Mine is totally stuck as well, ie thats broken. Anyone got any ideas on this, I am seeing more and more people on various forums with the issue.
At this point its back to AT&T for me....
it only rotates within the APP. To obtain full rotation you have to have a 3rd party app like NOVA and enable screen orientation within the settings.
Mine just started doing this today too. Noticed it first with my camera app symbols being upside down and all my pictures coming out upside down too. Then realized my screen rotation isn't working.

Hopefully this is just a software thing and they can push out a quick update.
Just realized that my screen rotation was normal before the update. I took a couple pictures at some point before the update and those are the only ones not upside down.
Has everyone with an issue installed the update? Anyone notice if it started afterwards?

happened to me randomly too. had to get a new unit from tmobile.
I have the tmobile version and mines rotates perfect
Got my s6 edge yesterday and gyro scope doesn't work so the camera buttons and picture are stuck on landscape and no apps will go to landscape mode so I tried the test screen which says the gyro is failing getting replacement on 21st, dial *#0*# to test it.

Screen Rotation
I have the Galaxy S6 Edge with Sprint and I took it in today because I am unable to view photos in Landscape mode I also downloaded some movies on it and when I went to the video player They wouldn't go into landscape mode either I finally figured out that If I turned off the screen rotation setting then went back and played the video a small screen rotate option apprered I tapped that and the video went into landscape mode I turned the main Screen rotation setting back on and it came out of landscape mode
I tried using the Internet in landscape mode and it wouldn't go period they checked my sensors and they were all working so I did a master reset I still can't view photos in Landscape mode videos are the same and if I view the Internet in landscape mode it locks in that way and I have to close it completely in order to get out of landscape mode
It has to be a s9software issue and Samsung needs to get on the freaking ball
I am also experiencing this issue.
I am returning the phone tomorrow, after speaking with Samsung and my carrier they agreed I should return it.
I made a thread on the androidcentral forums about it which I wanted to link, but I can't post a link here because I'm a new user. Good stuff.
I looked at the axis device movement graph thingy for my phone. Phone x coords are stuck at -32768 :/
I can't post a link here because I'm a new user. So, that's great. But there is an image on the androidcentral post of it.

Im saying the same thing. This has to be more of a software issue if the sensors are working. hopefully there will be a mnor update of some kind

I'm almost positive and the reason why is because when I was in the Spint Store and Best Buy I was checking out The S6 Edge both had photos downloaded on them as well as a few short film clips and the landscape mode worked perfectly
At Best Buy over in the Samsung area they have taken Wonders of nature movie that comes preloaded on the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 tablet and downloaded it on the all the S6 phones so you could really be amazed at how beautiful the display is on these phones
I watched that movie in landscape mode without having to go through all the hassle I'm having to now.
That's why I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on and neither could the techs at the Sprint store because they S6 phones that have been on display don't have this problem because they haven't been updated.
Or at least they hadn't been the last time I pcked one up and looked at it and that was Friday

Mine worked initially, at least I think it did because my pictures were normal. I took a few pictures when I first got it up and going and then later that evening I downloaded the big software update and at some point after that it was different. Not sure if it was the update or something else.

Hello all.
Not much of a poster but i would like to see if i can get some help with my phone.
I've had it rooted and running Trigger for a couple months now......but recently i came into a problem. The phone will go into landscape mode on its own and sticks there.
It wont rotate back no matter what i do.
Yes i've tried toggling the auto-rotate settings but it still wont rotate back.
The only way i can get it to go back to vertical is by reflashing the rom, but it doesn't take long before it goes back. I've also tried flashing other roms but same problem.
It's really starting to get frustrating and i don't know what to do. Any thoughts?
Have you tried re-calibrating? Go to Settings>Display>Horizontal Calibration and let it do its thing. I ran into this with trigger and later, project v.
You mean anytime in landscape mode it locks that way? Like when using the camera or watching a movie? Or it only locks when using landscape on the home screens?
that sounds like a hardware problem to me but maybe if i knew more about what your doing i could say otherwise. there are sensors inside your phone that tell it when it is sideways, upside down, rightside up. not that i encourage this but...... have you tried bumping it off of a table to see if it flips back? maybe the sensors are acting up???
Hi All,
Picked up a new SGT 10.1 today on the Staples deal. Well, actually two, the first suffered badly from the dust under screen issue and I returned it, cleaned out two stores in the process.
Trouble is, after the first time I engaged the orientation lock (literally the first time I locked the orientation), it no longer auto rotates when on the home screen. Worked fine for a couple hours prior to that. When I go to the camera app, it rotates (although lags sometimes, but can't tell the cause).
I've tried hard resetting multiple times with two different methods, made no difference. Searched around, found only one other person describing the problem and no solution.
Has anyone heard of this? Is there any app I can use to further test the sensor?
Thanks all!!
P.S. Sorry for the double post in Q&A, I posted there by accident.
Go to the home screen. Once in at home screen, press and hold anywhere to bring up the screen to add Widgets, etc... Click on the App Short Cut tab and then tap the home scree without actually adding anything. All you are doing is going to the App Short Cut tab. Now when you rotate your SGT the rotation will be much faster.
Try your rotation first before doing this so that you can see the difference in speed.
Enjoy...

Hello guys, I got this new unit and I already tried to calibrate/ check auto rotate option in settings.
Should my home screen rotate while i move my phone horizontally and/or vertically.
My icons are always in vertical mode.
If i go to gallery and choose picture i taken with the cell it rotates fine.
But if I go into internet browser ( the default one ) it takes like 4-5 tries shakes and moves my phone so it finally works <== this also seems odd shouldn't this works like faster or on first try ????
//Edit: needless to say , factory stock on everything nothing installed apart from opera mini and skype.
Everything else is default out of the box.
But my main question is shouldn't home screen follow my phone movement?
no, custom roms do though, like cm7
So no home screen/icons on it will follow if I place my phone in landscape mode hmm. Also what about the locked screen ( default one ) with the clock on it. Should that move? or same like home screen its only vertical.
Also I find my sensor in apps ( any app for that matter) to be really slow or unresponsive :S You need to move your phone in all directions like good 40-50secs or even more for it to switch into landscape mode :S
If anyone cares I re-calibrated the sensor but this time NOT on flat surface but in my hand the best I can and matched my movements so I works the best like im holding it in every day use.
Fixed my slow-ness or non-responsiveness about landscape / vertical switching.

Hi i have a problem with my S3 where, say i was typing a text out or on an app. The screen goes into landscape for a split second then goes black and then back to normal. This happened on my first S3 then i went and got it replaced and it does the same again.
I haven't a clue why its doing this i have auto rotate turned off and it still does this. Has anyone else came across this issue?
Im running 3.7 Wanamlite Rom with Siyah 1.6.8 kernel.
i tried moving to checkrom v5.5 HD and the problem happens on that too. I cant see it being another faulty phone seeing as only a week ago I went and got it replaced with another brand new RED S3.
I hope this is an easy fix cause really does get on your nerves when screen does this and i know its not normal or could it be just an issue with JB? thanks in advanced.

3rd galaxy s3 and still having this issue. Its the red model. It was working ok then out of the blue the phone would act as if its opening a landscape app and then reverts back to normal. this is really annoying as sometimes wen unlocking the phone it rotates to landscape and i have to lock and re unlock to get it back to normal. This happens even with auto rotate turned off and motion disabled.
is there a way to test and see if its a certain app thats causing this? cause no way 3rd brand new galaxy s3 and having the same issue. Thanks
the subject covers the problem, this happend after mm installed.. was a direct push from sony...
found a couple of threads about turning phone off, then docking then turning phone on. then undock. well now my lock screen goes into landscape kinda nice, but when i swipe up to unlock home screen is in portrait mode. would prefer home screen in landscape while charging. managed to find a app that forces it to work, but does not compress the home screen like the stock lolipop 5.2.1 i think it was, did.
beers
Yeah. This update (570) is as bad as the 5.0.2 build that came without X-Reality. No auto rotation, some sound enhacement features are missing and much more things that keep me from using Marshmallow for more than a full day.
Gee, I thought I was the only one having this issue. Yeah, it's so bad. Even on Facebook when I try to livestream while charging on dock, it's still in Portrait mode.
