I am wondering if anyone else has seen this. When I am in email and slide the device to go to landscape mode it changes fine. If I stay in email and go back to portrait, I lose half the screen as it stays in landscape. I fix it by closing email so it is not a huge deal but can be a PITA at times. Anyone? Suggestions?
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!
Got my diamond yesterday and everything seemed fine but the g sensor doesnt appear to be working correctly.
I noticed it earlier while trying to play teeter for the first time. when i tilt my diamond from side to side the ball moves fine but tilting it length ways (top to bottom and bottom to top) does absolutely nothing. have installed the g sensor calibrater but still no change.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Jamzi
Also just noticed that when im viewing pictures, before i turn the phone round into landscape mode the picture is upside down?!
have i bought a dud diamond?!

Try doing a hard reset and see if that solves the issue....
If this does not I would suggest checking that you have a recent ROM, and then perhaps updating same...this may do the trick also...
If these fail then it may very well be that you have a hardware issue, return for warranty repair!!!
The best way to test your G sensor is with the pictures in album mode. Here you can rotate the phone in any direction and vertical and horizontal motions also. IF your picture rotates every time your good, if not then it's a hardware problem, and if that's so then take it in for a repair/replacement as previously stated.
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
Sent from my D5833 using XDA Free mobile app
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
I'm experiencing a problem with the automatic screen rotation sometimes. Basically when rotating the phone from vertical to horizontal the screen doesn't follow the movement. The only way to solve this is to put the phone vertical again, wait few seconds and then rotate it. I've already tried the usual movements to try to help the accelerometers to capture the movement but nothing, even turning the phone vertical quickly doesn't work, it has to stay vertical for a few seconds.
Also it doesn't happen all the time, but only sometimes (I've noted this while watching videos on YouTube)
Anyone experiencing this? I'm on stock rom and i really hope it's software and not hardware related.
I think this might have something to do with moto action. Some of the actions piggy ride with the accelerometer so it might thinks you're about to do moto actions but fails to fulfill the conditions. Hence, it leaves you without any response/feedback.
