[Q] Screen does not rotate - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using aospmod 1.1 and mostly everything was working at first, then i had to fix gps, and then wifi because that broke too, and now all of a sudden the screen will not change orientation when I rotate it, even after a hard reset and changing the auto rotate setting, any ideas?

Dim on start up slide function won't work

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.

My screen orientation STAYS in landscape.

The only thing I changed before the problem occurred was the installation of Mr. Incredible's Diamond 3D Dialer.
I removed the dialer but my screen is REMAINING in landscape when the phone is closed and suppose to be portrait.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix other than a hard reset?
Forgot to mention I am using the stock Tilt ROM.
THANKS!!!
did you try going under start>settings>system>screen and selecting potrait?
Yes; I tried re-aligning it that way as well. I can manually set the screen using the Screen-H-V Switch but as soon as I slide the phone open to expose the keyboard, the screen stays in landscape again when I close the phone.
This sucks to say the least
did you try to soft reset?
About 20 soft resets; with no success.
I've thus since performed a hard reset; which, obviously, fixed the problem.
That sucked BIG time

[Q] Auto Rotation Not Working Help

My auto rotation is not working correctly. It will turn to landscape mode, but will not change back unless I unchecked the auto rotation button. I have adjusted the Horizontal calibration and the Gyroscope calibration without any success. I first noticed it on Check rom after a couple of days. Last night I switched to Rocket V23 and I still have the problem. Any suggestions would be helpful. I have gotten use to turning my phone to landscape with the display adapting and then turning it back. Now it seems to be a hassle to turn on/off the auto rotate button to adjust screen.
Thanks

how to disable auto rotate screen???

Hi Guys,
I love xperia products specially this xperia z3c.. however, there is one pet peeve that is really starting to irritate me.. everytime I try to disable auto rotate, the screen still rotate.. wtf?? I went to accessibility and check marked the auto rotate.. then I went to display and un-checked auto rotate.. then I went to the notification area and selected portrait.. on all the cases, my screen still rotates from portrait to landscape.. previously, with xperia zr, all I have to do is select portrait INSTEAD of auto rotate in the notification area.. but now, in z3c no matter what I select in the notification area be it portrait or auto rotate, IT AUTO ROTATES... is there a setting I am missing that needs to be checked/unchecked so that this phone stays on portrait?
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks..
:highfive:

tested on my end and the notification widget works fine in both portrait and auto-rotation. try restarting your phone that should solve this issue.
I am intermittently having the same Issue as the OP, except on a Z3 (non C).
Sometime the phone is just not respecting the Auto Rotate Settings, I have smart rotate off (never used it) but at time toggling Auto Rotate from the top bar or in the settings menus does nothing.
I feel it has something to do with docking though, just a hunch.

If you're using a magnetic charger or dock, that might be the problem. Unplug it and then put in Portrait and try again

I've got more or less the same problem.
When I connect the magnetic charger the screen will always rotate to landscape and upside down, no matter what I selected for screen rotation.
When I unplug the magnetic charger it will almost never react to the setting of auto-rotation, in 95% of the cases it will always stay in portrait.
By plugging and unplugging the magnetic connector and altering the auto-rotation setting the device (when unplugged) would respond to the setting of the auto-rotation by rotating to portrait or landscape but never upside-down.
Locking and locking the device turned it back to when unplugged always stay in portrait mode and when plugged always rotate.
This problem is only for the home screen, applications react properly to the setting but the homescreen does not.
I could not find all settings.
I can find
Display - When device is rotated
Accessibility - auto-rotate screen
I cannot find anything in notification (for me notification and sound are under the same menu 'Sound & Notification'
When I change the setting in display I can see the setting in accessibility is linked to this one, changing one also changes the other one.
What is normal behaviour and what can I do so my phone behaves and reacts in the normal way

Screen rotate ROM][GT-I9305][Marshmallow][6.0][Cyanogenmod 13.0][UNOFFICIAL]

No problems, battery uses more when there is no wifi around, but I guess that is normal?
The only problem I had was that the screen did not rotate, after boot it worked for a while, then stopped.
The fix for that, well, it works for me is to change a setting:
In the Developer options turn on the Multi-windows mode, you will get a message that it may cause some problems, but I did not notice that.
But it fixes the screen rotation, it works perfect now!
