[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
I have had the problem twice now where screen rotation stops working (even in apps where I **KNOW** it should work (like Facebook). I try toggling the option in the quick bar on and off to see if I can get it to come back but nothing. I have to reboot to get it back.

I downloaded an app from the market called GyroRotate to see if it is a hardware problem but it doesn't appear to be since the app responds appropriately when it isn't working.

Any ideas?

Stock ROM with root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cdshepherd:
Iv had that very same issue a few times. For me it would get stuck in either landscape or portrait. It hasnt happened in a while though. Is smart rotation turned off in settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Yeah it is unchecked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cwhisenhunt:
I have had this happen once to me. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I had not rebooted the phone in about three weeks. Usually I reboot once a week(had an HTC before the Note 2, old habits die hard).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Orions:
I'm completely stock, I did the OTA update and my screen rotation stopped working. Well I'm not exactly sure if it was the OTA update that caused the problem because i didn't have the phone long enough before i applied the update, so it might have been broken just overlooked it. Most of the time it works but the youtube app does not rotate. I have to restart the phone to get it working again and then after some time, don't know what causes the problem, it will stop working again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] illa215:
Yup same problem but even when its stuck, samsung apps like email or calculator will rotate, its weird and annoying at times, especially since I cant figure out whats causing it. Im also stock and rooted
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nicoled985:
Try calibrating in settings then motions and then find gyroscope calibration
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmarzilli:
I have the same problem since the ota update. It happens about every other day and the only way to fix it is a reboot. I've tried toggling autorotation on and off and tried calibrating the gyro and nothing fixes it

fyi might get some good answers if you post this in the Q/A forum instead of General.:cyclops:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
I really don't think this is a Q&A issue, which is why I posted it here.

Q&A Issue would be something like - How can I enable WI-FI through a widget.

A possible bug like this one doesn't belong in Q&A IMO.

100% stock and it has happened several times to me as well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shamdawg:
Just happened to me in the YouTube app. First time ever.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilo777:
I suspect that it might have something to do with advanced display options. In addition to "auto-rotate screen" there is a "Smart rotation" mode which - if enabled - may disable screen rotation (it checks orientation of your face).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kbiz:
This is a known issue... I had it once before and it's never returned... There's a thread about it somewhere... the fix involves removing the battery and rebooting...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Two questions

Does anyone know of a way to firmly reproduce this error???

How can we report stuff like this to Samsung to get fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmarzilli:
I have that turned off and it still happens

Next time it happens I will try this and report back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Papi4baby:
I have had that bug too. Only thing that fixed it was a reboot.

I hope they patch it by next release.

Don't know how to fix, i haven't really follow the thread to be honest.

I would start by contacting ATT (611 and ask for tech support), and then Samsung (look in their website).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
I would like to be able to firmly reproduce the problem before I contact anyone since they will disregard it (IMO) until I can.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] apen83:
Turn the phone off and then back on make sure you see the little red light in the motion sensor turn on for a second. Rebooting doesn't fix the issue. Sometimes you may have to turn off three finger boot to recovery and reboot system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
So I had the problem again this morning. This time I went to the *#0 test screen, and tested the accelerometer this time. Everything worked perfect, and it was completely responsive. Here is the interesting part.

Before I went into the test menu everything that supported landscape was stuck in landscape (like the eBay app for instance). After doing the tests through the test menu then exiting, that same app was stuck in portrait. So whatever it is got reset by the test menu, BUT didn't seem to re-enable the accelerometer since I couldn't go to landscape at that point.

I REALLY wish I could come up with a good way to reproduce this problem for Samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nuwayman:
This is happening to me right now. Even with this xda app. Stuck in portrait. Tried other apps. Calculator, Dolphin browser rotate. Internet, email, and gallery is sick in portrait right now. It just started doing this the other day. I'm on clean rom ace also. About to flash clean rom att se version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmarzilli:
I'm clueless to what causes this. I did a battery pull two days ago when it happened and it happened again today. Some apps rotate others do nothing. I downloaded rotation apps that force rotation but it doesn't correct the issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] StarLog:
When I am in an app in landscape and receive a cell call. The cell window stays in portrait mode. Then when finishes the call the main screen goes landscape for a few seconds then back to portrait. So agrevating.

Im stuck in portrait mode and has been like this for the last 48 hours. I'm fully stock never rooted this phone. Before the update it never did this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Have you tried to reboot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] woadiestyle:
Reboot is the only way to get anything to work so far
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
yup same for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Dang! Just had this happen now. Was wondering why I couldnt get Youtube videos in landscape so a quick wipe of both caches fixed it for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sh4dow1:
I have the same problem seems to happen to random apps after long use like youtube rebooting is only way to make it back to normal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] StarLog:
Stock rom and reboot doesn't fix for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xphyle1971:
This has started happening to me often since I did the OTA update. I cannot fix it via any setting. Only a reboot fixes the rotation issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] trial_attorney:
Same here, guys. Waiting for the fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
We need to figure out how to reproduce it to report it to Samsung.

I am having the same problem - should I return my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pakxelaos:
Turn off Smart Rotation

It works good now, when I turn off Smart Rotation. :good:

Of course, it's not the way it should, (Samsung has to get it fix) but I don't use my phone when I'm in bed .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Vince_cnc:
Don't know it could help but me I use this app from play store and I never had problems with my screen rotation :

Maby you should try
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mcbaes72:
Adding my name to this thread, having the same issues. I usually reboot the phone completely and it fixes the problem. But last couple of times, did something different to find a solution other than rebooting. When screen is stuck in one view, not rotating...

Turn auto screen rotation off > go to video and manually press screen rotation upper left corner > turn auto screen rotation back on.

Haven't tried it on apps like YouTube or Netflix yet. But so far, it seems to work when using stock video player.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] misty356:
Had this happen to me also but shutting the phone down fixed it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] repherb:
Enough already!!

Folks, 5 pages of "me too" and "reboot will fix it" is becoming tiresome and bloating the thread. Can we start actually analyzing the problem please?? This is a

thread, not much of either being done though!

MOD, bit of help here??

Dude. The cause is unknown and it's so random it's too hard to tell the cause really. If it's becoming ``tiresome'' I suggest you stand clear of the thread if u yourself have no insight either. And this is not a troubleshooting thread. Read the title. People are posting exactly how they should. Hes asking if anyone else is having the issue. Again this is not a troubleshooting thread. Its q&a

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] repherb:
Man,you just don't get it, do you? I am saying we NEED to start figuring this out, you just put your foot in your mouth with your reply!! Look at the thread title yourself: "AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II > AT&T Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Does anyone else have a problem where screen rotation stops working?" and no, it ISN'T random. That's just YOUR opinion. TO BE CLEAR: There seems to be a common denominator regarding the screen rotation lock value and certain apps refusing to accept returning the control back to the UI. I am also seeing the value being set by the UI upon app start but then the code of the app doesn't seem to have an entry for landscape mode which may also be hanging it because the UI is expecting a value be called that doesn't exist or the entry is there but the write to the persistent is blocked. (by the file system going into R/O mode or the value being in an R/O file??)

Unlike some people here, i am currently trying to see what is triggering this rotation issue by analyzing the persistent values regarding screen rotation pre and post reboot and what is causing the screen lockup aka Help & Troubleshooting. Something you aren't contributing to on either account. Now, if you have nothing better to add or say, i suggest you drop it.

A little work around if you are stuck in landscape or portrait and want to go to the other. The camera for me always seems responsive with rotation, so I just open the app rotate the phone and exit.

I have no rotation as well and the camera controls are flickering back and forth like something is reversing the request to rotate..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] twitchyfingers:
Me too, Get Sensor Monitoring app

This also happened to me once. I went on the play store and downloaded a few sensor calibration/monitoring apps. Look for one that can show you the output of the accelerometer. There are so many to choose from.

In my case all the values had gone static and were stuck at a single value (or would switch between 264 and 265 units rapidly for example).

I felt silly when I found out all I had to do was a full power down (not a reboot, i tried that and it didn't work in my case)

When I pulled battery and rebooted, the monitoring apps were showing accurate values for each axis of the accelerometer. Rotation worked perfectly.

I have not had this problem since. It's good practice to do a full power down every couple of days anyways. Remember: Full power down. Not just a reboot. It's not the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Evilspawn:
This happens to me on jedi rom where YouTube stops rotating. I just reboot and it fixes the issue.

So that's as far as anyone got? Does anyone know what actually causes that misrepresentation of the tilt sensor values to happen?

yes sony does make some expensive products but they are world class and some of the best featured. Upto 11 Hours of Talk Time 13 Megapixel camera, Android 4.1 and 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Quad Core what else can you ask for.
[HTC One X] iLHaNroID:
Any tips/tricks/tweaks (for stock OneX with Tegra3) more than much appreciated... Even just toggling to homescreen to check something closes the app, when you come back it restarts, if it is a web session (does not matter whatever browser it is) and you were logged in somewhere, you have to log on again, needless to say you loose your stuff data/text you left there before switching.

Although i like OneX too much, i am seriously thinking about leaving htc for ever due to that and also because of the Wi-fi policy issue in my beloved OneX, it is also similar. After screen off then on, you find wi-fi went sleep and trying to reconnect, if you are/were sharing media streaming through dlna, it stops as soon as wifi goes sleep. Also the remote apps are becoming useless due to same as you need to re-establish connection each time you wake your phone.

The only manufacturer/device in Android world which deserves to go after OneX is SONY imho, especially the latest Z is seemed a super phone.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bman3k:
Is there a need for a battery saver app on your phone if you only turn on things like wifi or GPS when you actually need it? I read through the descriptions of some of them and most just manage when to turn data on or off and I do that manually so they seem unnecessary.

Additionally I just flashed Cyanogenmod 10 and calibrated my battery, but the battery life still doesn't seem to good, it drains at about 10% per hour (when I first flashed it it was ok, the 10% per hour just started today). As I said I only turn on power intensive services (wifi, data, gps, bluetooth) when I want to use them (I don't constantly turn them on and off either), I don't have anything set to auto update or auto sync (as far as I can tell), and my screen brightness is set to 0% (I'm usually inside).

The 10% per hour occurred simply when I was texting and using wifi, even then it was mostly texting.

Is there anything I am not checking for and is there anything else I can do to improve my battery life?

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heatherrc77:
Ok, so here is my deal. I rooted and successfully installed Jelly Bean onto my Kindle Fire months ago. After about a month or so, there was an .android error that kept popping up whenever it booted to the home screen. Since I couldn't do anything with it, I decided to delete the ROM and set it back to factory, BUT when I deleted the ROM, I deleted ALL ROM's including the stock ROM. I also managed to delete all my backups. I can boot my Kindle into TWRP but that is all. I purchased a factory cord from skorpn and am able to put my KF into fastboot mode but KFU will not detect the Kindle unless it is in TWRP. The ADB status is always offline if I try running KFU when in fastboot mode. I have installed all drivers, over and over and when I mount the SD card to USB it shows up on my computer as "KINDLE" BUT, I have no folders in my kindle except for TWRP. There is no /sdcard folder or anything. I am stuck and completely frustrated and I don't know what else to do. PLEASE HELP!!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Oh good times. Your sdcard either lost it's formatting or part of its formatting or some other similar situation. This is probably caused from not correctly ejecting or unmounting the sdcard before trying to write to it...but that's merely speculation on my part.

The answer to your problem can be found here:

I know this isn't helpful now. But the original problem (I am pretty sure) had to do with the drivers with the audio. You probably had the volume all the way down, which causes the error you were receiving. If you mute it, that is fine, just don't have the volume down all the way.

I asked for help, I didn't ask to be belittled. I already stated I am not the most technical person, but when I set my mind to something, I do the research and I figure it out on my own. The last time I did this, was months ago and I haven't touched it since. Since then all of my research was wiped out because of computer problems and my PC had to be reformatted and my data was lost so now I am trying to get all my research back and excuse me for asking such a stupid question. I am doing this with my OWN Kindle to learn how to do it and I am not hurting any one else or their stuff. How else is someone supposed to learn without trying it?

I will say thank you for your time to help "educate" someone so "inexperienced".
