My new mediapad m5 8.4 doesnt auto rotate. Is this a known software bug?
Interestingly, I tried an accelerometer test app,and it seemed to work fine...

Yes, interestingly, if I rotated and pressed it twice (once to turn it to portrait and then once again back to auto) it would change orientation.
I also found that with a cover, it didn't wake on opening like out other M5 (we have his and hers).
In the end, I did a settings reset and it's now working for both rotate and wake on cover open....
My english is not good but i will try to help you, had the same problem. Hold your finger at your homescreen where the widgets,transitions,wallpaper, and settings are. Then go to settings and activate auto-rotate. It seems that the auto-rotate toggle of the notification center is going to rotate only your apps, not your home screen. That worked out for me, I wish it helps you.

I just downgraded from the 1.06spl to 1.04 and did the super cid and sim unlock, and everything works as it should except now the keyboard doesn't light up anymore. (another thing that doesnt work is when i install software, it usually says how much space is needed, but no longer show how much space is available?)
any suggestions?

Dumb question, but you do know that the TyTN has a light sensor and the keyboard backlight only comes on when needed, right? If it's dark and the backlight is still not coming on, you have another issue. Make sure the sensor is enabled under Start, Settings, Personal, Buttons, Backlight, and ensure this option is enabled.
Mine doesn't tell me how much space is available when I install programs either...
Brightness setting?
I ran into what might be the same issue recently. I set my brightness to the lowest level, as it was perfectly readable indoors. Later I realized my keyboard backlight no longer worked.
It turns out that the lowest setting is considered 'backlight off', and turns off the keyboard backlight. It needs to be kept one notch higher.
I noticed the keyboard lights only comes on when you press a button.. not when you tap on a writing space or slide open the keyboard..

There may be one more options as well. In WM6 ...
Start\settings\buttons\backlight (bottom tab) uncheck auto sensor and anytime you press a key the keyboard should light up.....
Hope this helps!!!
Good Luck
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!
Upgraded to CM11, but had this on 10.2 as well. Back and home buttons are rendered inoperable depending on how NT is positioned (rotated). Really annoying and I know they aren't shorted because BACK works in one position but not the other, same issue with HOME. Anyone know of a fix?
Anybody?
you're talking about the onscreen buttons in android, right? i've never had any issues
that happen to me
I had that same problem when I change the dpi from 160 to 265 and that when it happen to me. It took me a day or two before I realized what causes It but when I change the dpi back to 160 my buttons started to work just as they did before.I hope this helps you with your fix.good luck
Well I don't know if it's your case, but this happened to me as well, and I found that I had dead zones in touchscreen exactly where on screen home and back buttons are, the only way I could use home and back buttons again was rotating the screen to upside down portrait (I could not pull down controls menu in this position since that part of screen was dead) or in landscape.
How I found out: download this app. from Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rn.yamtt, turn your tablet to landscape so on screen buttons will change positions. Open the app. and select paint tester and move your finger on the part of the screen where the on screen buttons wasn't working in portrait mode.
If you have dead zones like me, the app. won't paint the area where you are moving your finger because the touchscreen is dead in that area.
Also, my nook developed another problem after this, it won't charge, and when I plug the power cord, tablet crashes and reboots and stay in a bootloop unless I remove the cable. I'm 100% sure the cable and charger are ok, my nook suddenly started to show a lot of problems, I'll miss my nook =/
so what did you do to fix it?

Nothing since this has no fixes, part of the touchscreen is simply dead, unless a miracle happens, I even tried to restore stock nook rom, opened my tablet to check if there is a loose cable or something.
Is this happened to you in the same day you opened this thread? If your answer is yes, this sounds funny, because it's exactly the day when this small part on left bottom of the touchscreen died in my nook.
Also, somewhat my tablet started to charge again, but very slow, like USB charging, but I'm happy my nook returned to life.
No this happened many weeks before the thread. All of a sudden both home and back touches no longer worked in portrait position, but DO work in Landscape. Annoying.

Did you made the check I mentioned before? Does the back and home buttons works if put your tablet in upside down position so portrait mode will move soft buttons to the top edge?
Yes - all three DO work when I flip it upside down in portrait. Is this my workaround?

Unfortunately, you have the same problem as me - dead zone in touchscreen. Flip the tablet upside down in portrait or use in landscape are the only workaround afaik. I thought in moving the on screen buttons more to the right in a zone where the touchscreen is working, but I didn't find a way to do this, I managed to move them a little bit by adding more buttons in the bar in system settings, but the back button would still stay in the dead zone, them I switched home and back buttons positions (so home stays in the dead zone) since you can still use the tablet N button to use home function.
Hi everyone ,
I've got the chinese Find X 256Gb (PAHM00) and there are issues with the 'curved panoramic light'.
If somebody is calling me, the screen lights up, showing the number and the 'curved panoramic light' lights up too.
But the main problems are the messages and notifications. If my phone lays down for a while (standby) and i recieve a message, the screen lights up showing the message on a banner and turns off after a few seconds, no 'curved panoramic light'. I tried several different settings/options, but there are always only two results: 1. as mentioned above, 2. the screen stays black and the phone just rings, no 'curved panoramic light'.
One time, the phone was in my pocket and i recieved a message, I immediately pulled it out, the screen was black and the 'curved panoramic light' lit up, but only two times. I can't reproduce this.
What's wrong with my phone? I even did a factory-reset, but without positive results.
Does anybody have the same problems or a solution?
Thanks.
@Oppo-newbie
Settings --> Smart & Convenient --> Gesture & Motion --> Turn off "Screen-off Gestures"
This option is already turned off. The 'Raise to Turn On Screen' is off too.

Panoramic ligth does work here, but only 2 times. I believe that's normal. So don't expect it to keep flashing, it's just 2 times and that's it.. (Probably would kill the battery if it kept flashing.
No, Oppo says: 'When someone is calling or there are new notifications that just came in, the curved edges will light up, continuously.' ( I can't put in the Oppo link ) . On the website, they also say, that the curved light doesn't work if 'Turn On Screen Notifications' is enabled and I think that this is my problem, but I don't have this setting in my menu.
Same question i want to ask.
Any idea how to keep the light flashing until i read the message?
hope they fix Light Options...
I’ve only ever seen 2x for notifications and infinite for calls. I think you’re experiencing the feature exactly as designed
Same here. Could you fix it? I mean, if this is how it's supposed to work , it's pointless.

As for now, this feature is ridiculous. I couldn't find a solution. Hopping Oppo will fix it with an update.
By the way: can anyone tell, if it is the same for the 'global' version?
The Edge panoramic light is working like i had hoped it would. I receive the same problem as well. If anyone know which exact method to have the settings too, that would help greatly as I'm about to loose my mind with this phone and its mysterious operational system.
how to turn on panoramic lights for notification on find X

are you saying if you have lock screen magazine on it will work more effectively, please clarify thanks .
Mine works completely fine. Have global version CPH1871EX.
I have the screen clock on standby active and also the lockscreen magazine.
Also please check if the Turn on Screen for Notifications in set to OFF in the Notifications & Status Bar settings. Might be the reason why your display switches on instead of showcasing the panaromic notification light. BTW the notification light comes only twice over the edges and not more.
Here, I got it working after hours of try and error. Actually, it was a theme issue for me. First of all I turned off "Turn on screen for notifications" option in "Notification and statusbar" menu. This is what I did next:
0. Set lockscreen from the default theme
1. Turn on Lockscreen Magazine
2. Click on a like button, read a story
3. Turn off Lockscreen Magazine
4. Open Themes -> me -> my wallpapers
5. Set any wallpaper as lockscreen one
Hello,
I'm experiencing a weird problem with my LG V30 H930 and I was wondering what could be the solution, if anyone has ever experienced that as well?
Yesterday I received a new LG V30 phone and that day I found something very disturbing. The "always on display" function does not work when it's too dark in the environment or when I cover the light sensor. This also results in:
- "double tap to wake" function does not work when it is too dark
- holding finger against the screen results in turning off display instead of entering options for changing wallpaper, adding widgets and settings. Additionally when I turn off the screen in this way, I need to press the button on the back of the phone twice, which is also a fingerprint reader and at the right time. If I do it too slowly, i.e. press the button once, wait a bit and then the second time, the screen will not turn on. I have to press it twice and relatively quickly
All of this does not happen when it is bright in the environment.
The phone's never been rooted, there is no custom firmware loaded on it, I've tried many times going back to factory settings.

Why are you covering the light sensor if you want the AOD on?
You are basically replicating a flip case cover or flipping a phone over on the desk. Of course the AOD will turn off under those circumstances. There's nothing wrong with your phone.
With your display on, just quickly press your finger on the fingerprint sensor to display lock the phone and you will see AOD. Well you also have need the "power key instantly locks" option turned on. But I assume you have that on already.
Of course the AOD works in a dark environment. But in this instance, you are covering the light sensor -- which tells the phone you must have it in a flip cover case or flipped over. When you open the case or flip the phone back on, the AOD comes back on. In your fake way, you must be doing something wrong.
Stop covering the light sensor.

I understand your logic, but it is a very weird feature then, not to be able to change wallpaper directly from the home screen, when it is dark in the room or not to be able to turn on the phone double-tapping the screen, which is turned off. Is it perfectly normal as well?

You can change wallpaper and double tap the screen, but go to AOD mode in a NORMAL way. I told you how. Just turn off the display with the fingerprint sensor. AOD. Double tap, display back on.
