Had this problem yesterday after installing sportcaster, that is a portrait only app. After I rebooted, it worked fine.

Did a factory reset and it still isn't working.
Any other suggestions?
Will be returning it if I can't get it too work.

I hate to ask, so forgive me if you've tried, but you don't have screen rotation locked do you?
Nah, its clicked on but doesn't rotate.
I'm losing hope. It doesn't work anymore.

That's weird, my autorotate doesn't work either. The other thing I did recently was install he latest update that was released today.

Same here.
It worked fine before.
Those that updated - Can you guys check your auto rotate and report back?
Thanks.

Mine is still working fine after the update.
Okay I powered it down completely then fired it back up and now everything works. Tested all the sensors via the phone tester app. Before, none of the sensors were working for me.
I hadn't noticed but mine wasn't working after the update either. Rebooted and it's working again.
Mine isn't working after a reboot.

Anybody else experiencing auto rotate not working?

Mine hasn't been working either. I haven't installed the new update yet but I will see if that changes anything. Mine has been on and off since I got it. It would work half the time and then sometimes not at all even after a reboot or a hard reset. If this update does not fix this problem I will be asking for an exchange.

I really think its the update because mine was good before all this.
I can't use my camera either because my camera update always fails. It says you must update your camera firmware.
Damn, my auto brightness stopped working also. Can't believe this mess.
I had a perfect transformer... damn you ASUS!
I still have the receipt but they are out of stock. I'm going to keep it until the 12th and see if ICS fixes everything. I can't let go of you Prime.

Had this issue. Updated my firmware last night. Closed out of all my apps. Didn't do anything. Followed it up with a reboot. Started working fine.
So I updated the tablet last night and it did not seem to help. Using the app elixir I checked to see the status of the sensors, and none of them are responding when this problem occurs. I also noticed that if I turn the auto-rotate feature off and turn it back on in 10 - 15 min it starts working again. I have tried everything to figure out what is wrong, but have no idea. I will be going to Bestbuy this Friday and asking for an exchange, but it will more than likely be a return because of stock. Till then i'll be on the forums hoping for a solution.
I just got my tablet last night, and I'm having the same issue Nothing seems to work to fix it, like rebooting it or resetting it to factory. I've never had it work, but I didn't test before I installed the Firmware update. Has anyone talked to Asus about the issue? Figure I'll give them a call tonight and see what they say before I have to try to exchange it through Amazon (and who knows when I'll get the tablet back...). My first Android tablet, really makes me feel frustrated with it.

So you didn't notice if it was working before you updated?
Yeah, this sucks. My auto rotate and auto brightness use to work.
Let us know what ASUS tells you.
I am increasingly wanting to revert back to my S2 after 2 days of owning the S3, and getting nowhere with syncing and settings, wifi/packet data recognition (or lack of), being able to continuously use apps, motion settings not working for me and keyboard fail!!!
I have been trying to backup the S3 for the last couple of hours to Kies and it seems to be taking its time, however it is still switched on which is a good start I think.
Biggest issue is using the keyboard in the txt message app and in forums/social sites. The keyboard is extremely slow and unresponsive (new issue started today) and then when I hit send/post etc.. the phone screen goes blank and the phone becomes unresponsive. I have had to either remove the battery, replace and switch he phone on or long hold the power button - 7-10 seconds. I don't think this is normal. I am yet to root the phone but I'm too scared to in case I brick it. Yesterday it randomly switched off but today it is not only random but when I try to post anything.
Motion settings are enabled (major feature I chose it for) and they're not working either.
:crying:

don't cry. just return the set. what you are facing is absolutely not a normal situation. You have got a faulty set. just return it instead of rooting or trying roms etc.

Really thinking I might have to, but it was painstaking to sync all data, apps, photos etc from the S2. I was hoping it was an issue with not having day/sleep mode settings? Or some other simple issue that I've over looked

Definitely a faulty device return ASAP

ignoring such simple settings don't result in such a mess. If the set is in warranty then let Samsung take care of it instead of you going through the trouble. If motion sensors are enabled but not working then it may be a hardware issue (faulty gyroscope).

First thing to do: factory reset!
Then do not restore anything from your S2 and see if you still have these issues
-if you still have these issues: faulty device to return
-if your issues are gone: something went wrong when you restore from S2
I would like to add that if you have everything enabled you will get lag and freezes, try disabling some of the features...face awake, some of the motions etc, usually it is just a matter of setting up your phone right, it only has a certain amount of ram and all those fancy novelties use it up
In the middle of a factory reset. Only took 4 hours to back up the device. I'll try to disable some features and post an update with how I go. I really appreciate the advice

I think something went wrong with Kies. I uninstalled then reinstalled the program, rebooted the phone and slowly backed up only photos and contacts and everything is running ok now. Thanks for all the help and advice!

I tried to speak to the 'tech' in the Telstra shop and even while I was there it switched off and they had no clue, only offering advice of removing the battery and restarting the phone :what:
Figured I was best speaking to real experts...

It's happened alot over past two weeks and it's now done it 3 times in past 2 1/2 days. Screen stays black press any button does nothing and hold down power still does nothing. Only way is to hold volume up and power for 3 vibrations then power back on its really annoying and must be due to some problem....?

am going thru this currently ... and i cant do anything to the device at all! urs might work after the restart ... i've done the power button/volume up restart that didnt help ... did the emergency reset using the red button also didnt work ... the phone is running in the background as i can still receive whatsapp msgs but i cant view them as am receiving "inititalbootsetup" isnt responding either close or wait ... and again both of these options arent working ..
Go to settings and disable auto brightness. I'm not sure why it works, but after researching for a while on this same issue, this is the setting that worked for me. Try it and update us if it works.

Did you guys update to 257 without wiping? I didn't wipe, but there might be some bugs sticking around from 532. Do a factory reset (full wipe if you have recovery) and see if that solves it.
any updates on this issue .the device screen simply doesnt wake-up from sleep ,unless you hard reboot .
i'm on 290 stock ,and testing the auto brightness disable method.
update : issue persists with auto-brightness disabled .
Hmm, it has to be a software bug. I can't see how this could be a hardware issue. Have you tried everything? Wiping? Re-flashing? Flashing a different ROM?
I did still get it on stock rooted rom. Twice in a day

Happened to me view times when i tried to play movies, weird thing its not all movies, just some of them. Then i tried to remember what did i just installed because it never happens before. For me it was Nooxzoid, i uninstall it, and it back to normal.
So maybe try to remember does it happened before or just recently, maybe some app went roque with your phone.

Old topic but this just happen to me. Screen went black and couldn't get it back still heard noises from speaker when got message but couldn't get screen on I tried red button and volume up but never worked. I had to remove sim which forced a reboot. Never installed anything recently on rooted. 532. I've had nothing but issues regarding this phone. Regretting getting it thought sony would make a better product then this.

I have it just once though two days ago. Force reboot it by the button i almost gone mad when it's still not working, but somehow after a minute, it's normal again. I don't know why. But in case of yours, try to upgrade to the latest ROM first. That might fix it for you. No point for rooting if you can't fix the problem so let it go.

Hello Good People,
Still having this issue and it seems to be getting worse
Did anyone find a solution?
T.I.A.
There's is another thread about screen issues but I don't think I'm having the same problem.
Since about Feb, my venue 7 screen freezes up when it sleeps or use the button to screen lock. I can see the unit has not frozen up, as apps will still update in the background. However, the screen is completely unresponsive. My only fix is to reboot the device.
I have done a complete wipe at least 4x and tried updating firmware a couple times without luck.
Any suggestions or advance trouble shooting tips would be appreciated.

My Venue 8 is doing the same thing. The screen will freeze while the app continues. After a few calls to Dell, they are asking for me to return the tablet and they'll "fix" it. Hopefully they can as I really like the tablet.
I received a replacement unit, which I then destroyed by dropping it. They never asked me to ship the original back, so I thought I'd have another run at fixing it.
I was hope a complete wipe would help but not so far.

So you got a replacement phone, and it's doing the same thing? If so , maybe its an app you are downloading. I never heard of this problem, and it's odd that it would happen to you 2 times in a row, if that's the case

Couldn't have said it better. I also haven't had any problems with my phone (yet). By the way, my aunt just got a Note 5 and has had countless problems with it (even more than what people have reported here). First, her phone would lock up completely randomly. Then, she got a replacement and had issues with the speakers on her phone. The problems just kept coming. She now has switched to this phone and is way happier with it.

That is not encouraging, considering these two phones are essentially exactly the same device lol.
Thanks for the suggestion on it being on of my apps......I Uninstalled "easy unrar, unzip & zip" problem seems to have gone away.....it was either that or dropbox I Uninstalled both at the same time and haven't had the problem, gonna give it another day or 2 without a reboot and attribute it to that app....
Back to the drawing board the issue just happened to come back right after that post. ......I guess I'll deal with the occasional restart and hopefully when we finally get 6.0 the problem won't come back
Having the exact same issue with my new Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge+ (received phone Dec 29) . And as the OP states, a restart temporarily fixes the issue. In addition, this is for sure a software related problem because I can rotate the phone on it's side but still will be unable to select the menu in top left corner. Rotate back vertical, not able to select menu in top left corner but can select the menu in top right corner (if there is one for the app). Sometimes I have been able to close the app, reopen and the problem is temporarily fixed.
I'm surprised this issue hasn't happened to too many other people......especially since it happened in both phones Verizon has given me, I would assume it's a wide range issue for a lot of users
Wow that's strange nothing wrong with mine except this crappy battery life. A 3700mah battery like the droid turbo 2 should be in order
Having the same issue here for a few weeks now. A reboot fixes it temporarily. I have been trying to pinpoint an app but no luck yet. It seems random.
