Maps doesn't rotate in navigation - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't get maps to auto rotate once in navigation. It will rotate in the app when looking at the map, but once in nav it will stick to whatever orientation it was in when I started nav.
Anyone else? Never had this problem on any other device or rom.

Your right it doesn't...although you can have it in landscape prior to going into navigation mode and it'll run in landscape.
The op2 went through this same issue. I'd think they would have learned then.

Running into several small quirky issues like this... like some of LMT's buttons won't work if soft keys are enabled..

Works fine for me on 2.1.3

He is talking about navigation mode...like when you click that blue arrow and Google has turn directions. When you start navigation either in portrait or landscape its stuck in that position.

Edit: did get this wrong...
The OP was talking about the display orientation, I thought it was about the rotation of the map, so forget what I was writing...
osmand has got 3 rotation modes: North always on top, rotate according to compass, rotate according to driving directions.
All modes work fine on my oneplus x.
Although for compass mode the compass has to be calibrated for this mode to work. Drawing some 8 in the air with the phone will do the trick.
But this has to be done on other phones as well (compass calibration).

[Q] Touch screen problems in Browser

The close tab "x" in the stock browser is not working most of the time when in landscape orientation. I have to turn the tablet to portrait orientation to be able to close the tab.
I installed multitouch test apps and they are able to track my fingertips over the entire display perfectly so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
Is anyone else experiencing anything similar?

Do you have it plugged in charging when this occurs?

Yes I do. When I unplug, I am able to close the tabs normally in any orientation. I was testing this when you posted.

Full screen rotation?

Has anybody looked at this? Some apps rotate the tablet so that you have to hold skinny side in portrait, which sucks. Would be nice to be able to rotate and hold fat side.
Hoping for that too.
hi
few days ago, i discovered "Ultimate Rotation Control"
There is a 7days (or longer Trial) at google play. I'm not allowed to post Links, so u have to search it by ur self, sure isnt a big deal.
Set it to Force Rotation, and Apps (inclusive market previews) will rotate like u want!
greets nuts
it also is a setting in 4.0 if im correct, could be a cm9 feature
yup
For some reason Sony limited the tablet to three axis'.
However with a orientation app you can use all four.
All of the orientation apps that I have tried reduce the performance of the tablet. Just try one, force an orientation, and try scrolling the homescreen. You'll see how slow it is.
Hmm, with Ultimate Rotation Control, i have no slow downs - its working like ever, only thing is, Apps starting in the right rotation, not upside down .
Until now i'm using the testversion, and its says 18days till end - not 7 as u get told in market. Hoping for ICS, too

URC works very well for me, but slows my launcher too, what a pity...
Search Set Orientation by Eyes-Free Project on Google Play, is simple and works nice.

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?

Weird Compass Issues

My compass works in Zdevice test, but not in certain apps (Though it used to) - it doesn't work when I press compass button in Maps and doesn't work in compass specific apps. It DOES work in Yelp monocle.
Any ideas? I've fixed permissions, done clean installs, everything.
One bump before I give up on this. (don't really use compass mode that much, but would be nice to fix)
Try gps status app. It has a compass calibration tool that will tell you to rotate the phone 2-3 times on each axis. Fixed my wonky readings I had.

Just downloaded that - compass doesnt respond at all in that app. It only seems to respond in ZDeviceTest.
It seems like the majority of apps aren't able to "talk" to the compass sensor, but for whatever reason ZDeviceTest can.
Update: I just downloaded "smart compass" and it works fine - Maps will still not enter Compass view. SO CONFUSED

rotation problem ; any fixes?

ive had my amaze for awhile. and for the longest time it will not rotate into landscape when im in youtube,camera, or web sites.
everything on the phone is stock and on ginger bread. ive reboot, did the calibration, etc. ive tried every option i could think of. i have not down loaded any games or apps other then what comes with the phone.
finally i down loaded the android sensor app. and it says the "waiting for response" on acceleromter, gyo and another sensor i forgot(maybe GPS). but my map app works fine.
anyone have the same problem or fix?
thanks
I say completely wipe the phone in hboot or update to ics. If issues still occur try rooting and installing a different rom. If still present put back in stock and have it replaced if you can

I too have had this issue periodically, I noticed that on AOSP ROM's it tends to happen more often than not.
Yes I check ALL the auto rotation settings etc. in the ROM
I end up using Auto Rotate from the playstore when on some ROM's, still a pain in the arse because it will not Auto, I have to select rotate to get it to work
I am now on Viper 1.7.+ and rotation is working again
What's the permanent fix?
Come on all you Genius Dev's, this should be easy for you
Something is missing/being left out of some ROM's?
Autorotate

Well, with the HTC sense roms there is a autorotate app

That autorotate app is in Sense ROM's by default?
And if yes, do you think it can be used with other ROM's?
