[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockstarindian1:
Hi guys, I was just wondering if there was a way to make the lockscreen stop auto-rotating? I know this is a feature in most ROMs, its just it feels real weird when I open my Portenzo case and the lock screen is off. I still would like the launcher to rotate, just not the lock screen.

I'm running ParanoidAndroid 1.98

Thanks:laugh:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpbdrogheda:
Of course there is! Just swipe down from the top of the screen to bring up the notification tab. Then up the top of that you click the icon to the left of the settings button - its is an icon that looks like a device with two rotating arrows either side of it. This will toggle the lock on and off.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockstarindian1:
Heh, that disables rotation for everything. I'm looking for something that disables rotation for JUST the lock screen.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mutnat:
Weird, my lock screen has always been portrait-only on my N7, even though I have rotation turned on generally. On my Transformer TF101 on ICS, it rotates and drives me nuts.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlaciv12:
Same here.

I found a build.prop edit that could rotate the home screen but not the lock screen. I'd like to get my lock screen to rotate so please, OP, let us know how you got yours to do so. What ROM are you running?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidnext:
I'm running stock, no rooted. I'm using Ultimate Rotation Control, it's free in GP.

It rotate home screen and locked screen too. Or you can set it alway locked in portrait or landscape. Very awesome app.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
What setting are you using to allow the "Lock Screen" to rotate with this app. I see no such setting even with the Paid version.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidnext:
Here is my setting, very simple.

This is the results:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
I've tried those settings... everything works fine, just the lock screen does not rotate.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eager27:
Ultimate Rotation Control had an update (mine was yesterday) which allows for Lock Screen rotation. If you have the app installed, just update it and it will work.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Funny, it just updated. Works.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micks_address:
does ultimate rotation control still cause lag on the tablet? does it take the home screen a while to refresh when you rotate the tablet? i tried it a few weeks ago but used to find when i rotated the homescreen it would take a second or two for it to redraw and prior to that it would cause video to stutter when playing
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockstarindian1:
My lockscreen started auto-rotating when i first flashed the BAMF ROM. I have moved on to ParanoidAndroid ROM but the rotate feature stayed :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evonc:
Running PA 1.98 in tablet small mode with apex and it rotates the lockscreen/homescreen natively without the need for any apps. It could be related to what mode you're running.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mutnat:
Ultimate Rotation Control is really cool! I've now got my lock screen forced to landscape, and my home screen rotates. Very cool. This was really the last piece to keep me on the Phablet UI instead of needing to root and change to the Tablet UI. I really like the pull down notifications and the centered soft buttons, I've grown to love them better than the honeycomb/ICS Tablet UI style.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Ultimate Rotation Control is cool, but it's always sitting in the background. Kinda extreme for such a simple task. Plus it doesn't really fix the problem. When I open my smart cover, if the lockscreen is in landscape, it forces it to portrait... which sounds ok but it shouldn't even be in landscape to begin with. So you're having to wait for it to do it's thing STILL before you can unlock it.

Ultimate Rotation Control DOES force the lockscreen to Portrait, but there is still a rotation delay there.

I'm looking for a way when I open my tab, it is just always in portrait and I can unlock without hesitating. At this point it seems a lockscreen replacement such as WidgetLocker or just disable the security screen altogether.

Anyone else know of a simpler method? Maybe a stock lockscreen replacement apk file that is forced to landscape. My phone is always locked to portrait but my tabs freely rotate.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atharkhan101:
I'm on latest version5.7.7 of Ultimate Rotation Control with annoying Unlock screen rotation issue. I lock the screen. The screen is off. I put phone in pocket. I pull my phone off from pocket and press power button. The screen is on but THE UNLOCK THING JUMPS FROM PORTRAIT TO LANDSCAPE. How to solve this? .

Hi there,

I have moved this to the main Q&A forum for better coverage.
[General Questions and Answers] wrmiles:
My Evo 3D does the same, I've never really looked into it too much as its never effected the battery life... I shouldn't worry too much unless it starts effecting how quickly it decreases in charge.

Another thing to take note of is the battery indicator isnt deadly accurate - if the indicator gets to the top but the battery isnt reporting fully charged it will keep going until the battery says so.
[General Questions and Answers] Sed8me:
Heya peekeje,

just quickly, how long u had the One X for ?

I found for the first week my One X had varied charge time and varied usage time, sometimes it would last a day, other times a few hours.

It did settle after a while.

Are you still experiencing this phenomenon ?

Things that help would be turning off gps and using the currently running apps button, swipe up to close the apps fully.

hope this helps.

Gonna be flashing ics to my mates XS and root it. Mine is running xsspeed kernel 3 and ka10.2 and i love it. (seems to be a lot of problems with ka11)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoop19b80:
Hi,

I have Galaxy s3 and when i try to attach any file from external SD card, it shows attached but when i send the mail, the attachment never go.

But when the location of file is internal phone memory, the attachment goes fine.

Also when i go to gamil app and click on attachment, it only takes me to my Gallery folder. and if you have any external file managers it shows that file manager as option (like Astro)

But technically, it also should show androids default file manager along with Gallery folder where you can be able to attach any file type.

Seniors kindly help with your expert opinion.

And extreame apologies if it is duped thread.

Kind Regards,

Anoop

Hi.

Thanks for your revert. I also tried using file expert but facing same issue.

Is u r gmail app updated one?

Really want to get rid of this issue.

Awaiting comments
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
Opps... Sorry. Somehow latest update on file expert broke the function. Try ES File Explorer instead.

Edit: Using ES File Explorer, you need to enable the "up to root" in the setting. Then only you can scroll to mnt/ext sdcard.

Hi

My new Phone was working fine until i decided to S Off and update the firmware. It crashed while updating the new released firmware.

First it would hang during at the beat sensation logo and i have read and tried all sort of firmware but havent been successfull.

I can get into fasboot and recovery that all. And i think i have locked the boot loader again.

I've been reading and downloading almost every rom.firmware etc for the past 14hrs

please find screenshot of fasboot. I would really appreciate if someone could guide me to get the phone back running:)

Thanks

I try to flash new firmware but it failed, its it because its locked ???
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
No need to unlock the bootloader for flashing firmware.. Just get the 3.33 universal firmware and try it.. If the bootloader didn't found it then the below way

Copy the PG58IMG.zip file to the adb folder

Then these commands one by one

fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it)

fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver htc)

fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip (post the output of this command if failed)

fastboot reboot-bootloader (reboots to bootloader)

Hang on a minute...

First boot can sometimes take 5 minutes +

Are you SURE it is hanging/crashing?

Just try waiting. If you are flashing correct RUU and everything goes OK, ie is successful, then it simply HAS to boot (unless you have an internal fault.

Ok i will try again and wait longer. Is there a way to go back to the stock rom and firmware. i think when i had the phone it was on 1.17 firmware and 2.34 rom if i can remember
[HTC Sensation] N10AP:
yes you need to download the original RUU and run it. It is a good idea to keep your RUU saved on your computer incase you ever need to use them. You will lose custom recovery when you run RUU if memory serves

I wouldn't waste my money on WP7 right now when WP8 is right around the corner (October-December). If you can't wait that long, get an Android device and make sure it's one that won't get screwed over when a major update like Jelly Bean comes around.

Windows Phone is a pretty nice OS to play with though. I have the Lumia 800 and 900 and love them both. However, the lack of customization options is a big turn off for me. Customization is a major reason why I'm beginning to love Android over my iPhone. Windows Phone app numbers are a minor problem for me. Most of the apps I need on a regular basis are available there. Everything else is just for fun and there are alternatives in Windows Phone marketplace. I have over 20 apps on my WP7 devices.
