Hi there, I've noticed that autorotation is much more *sensitive*, than in Eclair builds. It has a tendency of overreacting, I would like to have my screen switch to rotate less often.
I have a feeling that the screen orientation doesnt reflect phone orientation in many cases.
Do we have any knowledge to change its behavior?
(except for disabling it ;P)
+1.
I noticed this when I trie out JPK firmware a while back - it was so bad I ended up turning off autorotation completely.
I'm about to go back to froyo (JPM) now there is a voodoo lagfix, if this over-sensitivity is still the case I too would want a fix!
The problem has not been fixed inthe official XEE JPM release.
It's really annoying that it keeps rotating if you happen to tilt it just a little bit
To make matters worse, the new auto-rotate on/off button in the notification bar is useless as it doesn't lock the screen in the current position, but always in portrait mode!!
What a piece of rubbish.
Fixed it for myself: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948002

having some issues with my phone starting up and being dim. The only way to make it light again is to go to backlight settings and change them. Also when I slide the keyboard out, it doesn't make the noise and the screen doesn't adjust. I had a error with QuickGPs once and then my phone wouldn't stop vibrating. Any have this problem before or know how to fix it. Or some ideas on how to fix it. I fixed it once by sot-reset but it isn't working atm.
For the screen not rotating automatically, try going into the settings and manually changing the rotation to the opposite of what it should be in the current keyboard orientation and then back. Then try sliding the keyboard out and see what happens. I don't own a Kaiser yet, but the Tilt I was playing with at the ATT store seemed have this issue and doing that fixed it. It could also be that the mechanism that's used for sensing the keyboard open/close is broken. I believe someone said it's magnetic. I'm not sure though.
Hi All,
Recently my Tilt started rotating the screen back and forth as though the slider has been extended then back in...but i'm not even toughing the phone!
Has anyone seen this?
It renders the phone useless as it's always changing one way or another.
I've searched and found (for an old rom) a suggestion to disable device msi1 (oem_misc.dll) but that didnt work. Obviously just setting the display to portrait or landscape doesnt work either.
More immediately, Can anyone tell me a way to stop the auto-rotation or lock the display in portrait mode?
Secondly is there a permanent fix? How can I tell if this a sensor problem (ie. something in the slider malfunctioned and is sending the signal that the slider is out...then in...then out...) or a software problem?
Any help MUCH appreciated!
Tried searching first, sorry if already reported. I'm running the Modaco Froyo ROM, with pershoot's .34 kernel.
After about 1/2hour or so of playing any touchscreen intensive games (ie... Robo Defense and Super KO Boxing 2) the touch sensor goes completely out-of-sync. Anything from touching the screen causing a haptic feedback (as if pressing one of the softkeys) or pressing on one spot of the screen and it registers in a completely different region.
I've never had this issue pre-froyo (as has been reported by folks using 2.1).
Anyone else getting similar issues?
I've been getting this issue since 2.1, and had it for the brief period of using 2.2. Don't think it's been fixed yet. Annoying, but you can always just toggle the screen with the power button to get it back to normal.

Thanks for the workaround tip, heck of a lot better than having to reboot.
I have an odd issue that seemingly started out of nowhere. If I turn my phone to view the screen in landscape, it won't switch back to portrait when I flip it back upright. It doesn't matter what app I'm using or if I'm on my home screens.
I can turn it off and turn it back on and it will correct itself (assuming I power back on holding it upright). When I say "turn it off" I mean just turn off the screen, not a full reboot. What is odd, is that if I flip the screen 180 degrees it will reorient to the other landscape - but never go back to portrait without powering cycling. To me this seems to indicate that it isn't the accelerometer, but who knows?
I was running CM9 nightly from 04/19 at the time and updated to the 05/12 nightly to see if that would fix it (and see what was new in the ROM). I am on the stock CM9 kernel, no OC/UV. I am running LauncherPro free version.
I'm not sure if some random app may have updated that started this or what. I hadn't changed the ROM or monkeyed with anything for at least a couple of weeks prior to this.
I did a search and the only similar issues I found were all from last year and it seemed like "DeskHome" app was the problem. Most of those folks were having it permanently stuck in landscape, where mine will correct itself by power cycle.
Mostly this is just annoying but I'm hoping someone can help.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions what to check?
Hiya folks. Running CM10.1 stable on my targa (aka Droid Bionic). It was beautiful except for lack of nav dock support, a problematic Google Now (different problem, with workaround), and this particular problem, which I hope someone know what I am talking about...
When a call comes in and I answer by the slider, the screen goes black, whether or not I held the phone up to my head.
I cannot turn the screen back on. None of the buttons seem to do anything, though backlight for the 4 hard buttons does turn on indicating that some command was received by the touchscreen. Not even the power button will bring the screen back during the call.
If the other party hangs up, the phone goes back to normal.
With screen off, I can't hang up.
I can hang up if my Bluetooth headset was connected and I hang up with that.
I've searched all over and this issue seem to be a pretty popular issue last December across all CM 10 builds. However, I don't know if this was ever resolved for this build.
I can't find an option in the ROM to just flat "turn off face proximity detection" either. Or in any way to "tweak" it.
CPU-Z says my proximity sensor is working, so I guess it's just not calibrated properly for the dialer?
Can we get a "special hidden tweaker" much like the light sensor tweak for the auto-brightness levels?
Figured it out. It wasn't CM. It was Screebl and the stupid orientation sensor, and how the Launcher is fixed to portrait mode.
I think I had my phone laid down and it's at a diagonal so it's in landscape mode, and the phone's fine with that when it's just showing contacts. Screebl kicks in and determines that landscape, phone orientation says stay on, so screen stayed on. It was set to turn off the screen IMMEDIATELY when the orientation goes out of "viewing range". (Saving batteries, ya know).
When the call was answered, Screebl should have turned itself off (i.e. ignore input while call is in progress). But it didn't. The "answer the phone" screen flipped the display back to portrait mode. The phone, still laid flat, in "landscape", is now "out of viewing range", and Screebl turned off the screen.
Strange interaction among the various apps, yes.
I'm still trying to figure out how to make my Bionic, with extended battery last the whole day. Juicedefender Ultimate somehow just keeps turning the screen back on every X seconds (taking root control for SOMETHING) and Wakelock detector says the phone is not going into enough deep sleep (kinda like me, hahaha)
