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

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?
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)
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
Using the ROM][GT-I9305][Marshmallow][6.0][Cyanogenmod 13.0][UNOFFICIAL] with pleasure
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!
(My first posting on XDA)
I just upgraded to OOS 4.0.3 i falshed franco kernel and magisk. i have tasker and cf lumen installed but i froze them and i still have the issue.
Ok the issue is when i unlock my phone if i quickly drag down the status bar i can see what is actually happening. Potrait mode and adaptive brightness are toggled and then return back to the setting i have them on.
So i have portrait mode locked and adaptive brightness on. When i unlock my phone it switches to auto rotate and 50 percent brightness, then switches back to portrait mode and adaptive brightness. What on earth is going on lol.
