Hi Everyone,
I have the Samsung Galaxy S updated to the JP6 platform. But the problem is phone's auto rotate doesn't work. I have no idea what happened. It worked after the update to JP6. But for the past one week it doesn't! I try to make the phone horizontal. But the alignment remains as if the phone was in vertical! Please could you help me out on this one?
Selected auto rotation in the notification bar?

Thanks!

A new problem appeared on my NexusOne FRF91 - when using N1 as a WiFi hotspot for a while my display gets sometime frozen - I can switch phone on via a button, I can see a display but display doesn't react on any touch. I haven't noticed anything like this on FRF83 or FRF50. Anybody else with similar experience? Any idea about workaround, pls?
Thanks, Pavel

Auto Rotate Stopped Working
Me too, my auto rotate has stopped working as of this morning.
I havn't installed anything for a few days, and it was working fine yesterday.
I havn't dropped it either.
Running Stock Optus Rom with Voodoo Lag Fix Beta 4.
Any one got any ideas, I am going to try a hard reset, followed by warranty.
Have you tried to turn it off then turn it on?
Maby a restart between it.

Hard Reset did the trick
Tried turning it on and off and re-starting between but nothing seemed to fix it.
Also un-installed any widgets that controlled it.
I ended up hard reseting, that fixed it. In the process of re-installing everything again.
Hopefully not going to experience this again. Thanks for your input DamianGto
I had that problem too, well wasn't really a problem once I got to know my JPK rom.
Scroll down the notification tab and turn on auto rotation. Dunno if 2.1 has AR in notification tab tho, maybe its just a 2.2 thing.

So you only had this feature disabled. The problem is that sometimes auto rotate feature stops working and all you can do is to do a factory reset.
before you do the factory reset you should really try the On/Off switch widgets
here is a good set of On/Off switches

Do you really think I reseted the phone without checking whether auto rotate is on or off?
I tried settings/sound & display/Orientation, I tried the auto rotate widgets, and I uninstalled the widgets. None of this helped, which is why I had to hard reset.
I use the auto rotate widgets every night, I turn auto rotate off while I am in bed so I can still see the screen in a portrait fashion. I actually use locale to turn on and off certain settings like screen brightness, sound volumes and auto rotate based on conditions like - between 10pm & 6am, on any day of the week, when the charger is plugged in activate night profile.
I have reinstalled most of the apps I was using previously, and the auto rotate is still functioning correctly.
It seems that the function stops working for no good reason; and what's worse, the problem is not reproducible i.e. exactly the same configuration works after resetting the phone.
Auto Rotation not working/solved
I've currently updated my galaxy s to xxjpy ,darkys rom 2.2.1 (Highly reccomended) , I had exactly the same issue with the rotation not working and put it down to the custom Rom , after a few days of trying to sort it out i finally gave up and did a hard reset using sgs tools, now sorted , i can only assume it was something i downloaded from the market that caused this , only downside is everything is deleted from the phone so MAKE A BACKUP, hope this helps
Theres a prob since i flashed my phone t 2.2. When i upgrade it using kies, i screwed it up using z4mod. Then i reset it to normal and now my auto rotation becomes screwed up. Whenever i enable auto rotation, it rotates automatically! Even im holding it straight its still the same! Any helps please????

Hey all,
hope this is the right Thread for my post.
I've found out that the touch buttons of my device(Galaxy i9000) are lightening as long as the display is on.
On the device of my girlfriend the buttons are lightening only for 3 seconds then they turn off again even the display is still on.
We both have Froyo 2.2.1 XXJQ3 flashed over Odin. Nothing else is modded.
No rooting, no lagfix.
I know thats it's normal that the buttons are only lightening for 3 seconds, but my girlfriend wants me to set her mobile so it's like mine.
And I have the question why my buttons are lightening as long as the display's on and other phones of the users here not?
Hope u pros can help me again.
Greetz and thx
That's really strange...mine only go in in some apps, when I click them, our when I an typing but generally they are off...will look into it. Are you sure you both running exactly the same firmware?

I'm on the same firmware flached wit Kies (official) and mine is fine. If keep touching the screen, the buttons keep lightening but if after two seconds they are off.
flash the official version it's in kies
Hey guys,
Yeah I'm sure that we both have the same firmware, because I flashed them together. First mine then her's.
Today I flashed both to 2.3.3 and again my buttons stay on and her's not.
In my opinion it looks much better when they stay on as long as the display is on especially when it's dark, but im still curious whats the reason for this.
Still hope u can help me.
Thx and greetz
keep the lights on
Hi there,
I had exactly the same problem with my phone - especially annoying if you are
using phone in darkness.. App "keep the lights on" is a smooth solution..
Give it a try, step out of the dark
cheers
saving battry
I know that it saves battery but why the heck it doesn't do that on my phone?
Never changed something and I have to say that I really like that they stay on, but is there a chance that we can set up if lights stay on or not?

For me on XXJPK, while the app works, after I lock and unlock the buttons light up again so you would have to double tap the widget to turn the lights off every time... :-(
@markdj57
On JP3 and JPO works just fine - after turning the widget (and lights) on, I simply
throw the widget in trash and the buttons and display become one

XXJVK known issue/feature: Button lights are always on when screen is on.
However, this phenomenon should not occur on older firmwares.
Is there a simple fix yet?
Look at this post, worked for me and others.

I found that the app "screen filter" makes the soft key lights turn off after a couple of seconds when it's running, other than that I've never experienced it :/

Screen capture using "swipe palm over screen" does not work for me. I am on stock 4.0.4 ICS.
Hi! Has it worked before and suddenly stopped working? If thats the case I don't know how to fix it. But I remember when I first got my Note I thought it wasn't working, but for me it did turn out that it was me not doing the swipe correctly and I had to practice some times before I got the hang of it lol. =)
