I'm currently on stock LPF firmware and very happy with it. My only issue is with using the s-pen with left-handed use switched on. I never noticed this problem with the GB stock ROM, however the ICS ROM allows you to put a dot on the screen to highlight where the pen is. I can switch to left handed mode, however when I switch the phone off and on it reverts to right-handed (which is slightly offset) even though left-handed is still selected. Anyone else having this problem or know of a way to permanently switch left-handed on? It was the same problem in the LPY ROM too. It's just annoying to have to keep selecting left-handed in settings each time I switch it on.
I am having the same problem, everytime I need to use the S-Pen I have to go to settings to untick the left handed mode and to tick it again in order to use the S-Pen properly. Still I can not find any fix for it.
Looks like the bug is still there in the latest UK ICS release.

I tried to look if there is a fix on forums but with no sucess.
After a week of having at&t tilt once after using keyboard i slide it back but screen stays horizontal. anyone knows whats that all about?
Soft reset didnt work so far. i think it happend during wall charging when i started sending some messages.
So, after you reset, the phone boots in landscape? Or once you go landscape, you can't switch back? Either way, I think the kaiser uses a magnetic switch to sense the keyboard opening/closing. I don't have a definitive answer, but at least that's a starting point for some good ol' fashioned research.
yea, it doesnt want to go back from landscape. i thought wierd problem like this should be spotted before and i was hoping for a quick fix. phone is to new to have issues like this.
Swurv is right, the kaiser uses a magnetic switch to make the change between landscape and portrait. It sounds like the switch is sticking when you open it. I don't know of any way to fix it, you might have more luck returning it and getting another. Good luck.
It isn't going to actually fix the issue, but you should be able to get around it till you can swap the device : Start --> Settings --> System --> Screen and select the Portrait orientation
Best of luck getting a replacement, hope its smooth sailing.
Got curious about the magnetic switch and figured out where the magnet itself is located- If you have your screen open and tilted all the way forward, the magnet is on the back side of the screen, on the same corner where the front OK button and the messaging button are.

Hey. this actually restored my original settings. It works now just like new!
I switched setting to "portrait". Never touched this option before.
Thanx man. Thnx all you guys for your time.
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!
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
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?
I recently installed CM 10.1.2 Stable and it was working fine until about a week ago - great work, thanks to the Devs.
The problem that I am having is that the home screen and drawer is locked in portrait mode. I have tried EVERY setting I could find and it only stays on portrait. All the other apps stay in landscape when rotation lock is on (my preferred usage mode) with the exception of the dialer and the lock screen. The only time the home screen behaves is when I put the device in it's car dock - THEN it orients correctly.
The actual events right before it went wonky are as follows:
1) I was using it in the car dock, turned off the vehicle, and removed it. The lock screen seemed to be taking it's time orienting.
2) While I was fumbling with it I dropped it on the corner closest to the USB port (I know, normally it's in an Otterbox but I had just pulled it out of the car). It also got a little moisture on it, but none appeared to penetrate.
3) After I dropped it, everything was stuck in portrait mode - all apps, etc.
4) I restarted, and then did a cold boot, and it got to where I am now.
I have tried reinstalling CM, and various combinations of car dock/rotate settings but I'm baffled. It is my understanding that the accellerometers might cause bad rotation behavior, but it doesn't affect the other apps. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
R

If that happened after your dropped it, you can try to recalibrate the accellerometer (if that's still an option on the cappy).
If that doesn't work, you can always try to flash stock odin KK4 without bootloaders (after a backup of course). But my guess is that it's hardware related so flashing won't change much.
If all fails, you can contact Josh @ mobiletechvideos.com. He's well known around here for fixing cappys.
