Hello,
have a problem. Since 2 days ago, my Galaxy S works only in landscape mode. The auto rotate button doesn't help.
I have done a factory reset, turn on the phone and it was OK, then I turned my phone off and on again, and the problem was back. I did that a couple of times.
Only phone (dialer) works in portraite mode. Even the home screen is in landscpape (otherwise I think that's not possible).
My phone is not rooted.
Does anyone have any idea?
Have you heard of the free Smart Rotater app in the Play Store?
Might help you out, till you figure the root of your problem.
Just tried it. Didn't help.
I had this problem and couldn't fix. The phone went back in warranty and some hardware has been replaced.
For me the problem started after trying to plug in an USB charger (disconnected from power).
The same here. After USB plug-in.
So, back to the service? Nothing else to do?
Back from service... Works great

Hello,
Tried to look up some answers to my problem, however I'm not sure exactly what is wrong which makes any troubleshooting rather difficult.
I bought a new ADP1 a few months ago. I haven't had much time to play around with the phone, have just been using it stock and haven't even added any applications. There has been no physical damage to this phone, no drops etc.
Yesterday the phone locked up when I was using the browser and would not function. When I would try and reboot it, it would lock up at the first android screen and would fail to start up. I ended up doing a hard reset to factory defaults and the phone finally booted. After setting everything up again the phone seemed to be working fine.
A few hours later it locked up again while using the browser. This time no reboot/safe mode/factory reset would get it to boot. I can't even get to recovery mode or even get the phone to attempt to boot up. The screen remains black and the phone will not power on. It won't even charge when I plug it into the charger.
Not sure how to proceed here and I can't seem to find any information in regards to RMA, it is still in warranty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Take out the battery for hour or so put it back in and try again.. but this sounds like my issue What happen to Me is my mobo was crapping out and eventually just died on me

Yeah, the mobo going to **** was my original thought.
I already tried taking out the battery last night for about 3 hours, it still didn't work.
Guess I'm going to have to look into an RMA, I hear they are a pain in the ass. The phone is still within it's 1 year.
Yea I would get that done quick

Hi,
My phone is flashed with Darky 7.8
Recently, my phone has become stuck in landscape mode. When I dial into Test Mode, the accelerometer correctly identifies the phones orientation.
Another odd behavior I am having is that whenever I start a call it starts on speaker phone.
This is leading me to believe I have my phone in some kind of Car Mode, or Headset Mode or something. I have no idea, but I can't turn it off....
Anyone know what might be happening?
Thanks
Mitch
Bump. Has anyone experienced this problem?
It is very bizzare.... :S
Hi,
I'm experimenting the same weird behaviour! But the worst thing is that no matter which ROM I flash, even with a stock one, the phone eventually will get stuck on landscape mode. I say eventually, because when I wipe user data from clock recovery the problem is fixed temporarily. Also, I have the same problem with the calls going to the phone speaker. Have you been able to solve it m1tch37??
I have the same problem with phone stuck in landscape and phone starts on speaker. I didn't flash the phone, just wipe data and factory reset, but still the same behavior. In plus USB connection seems to not working.
Anybody, any idea?
... bump
Also experiencing this and tried uninstalling various applications to no avail. Also noticed that the USB connection isn't working (can't mount with USB debugging set both on and off).
Really annoying because you have to switch the way you've trained using this phone.
bump..
nobody has managed to fix this issue.. i tried checking if the sensor is ok and it shows fine, i have stock leaked gingerbread but it does the same on froyo as well. is this a hardware issue???
Guys I've been through this problem but the solution is very simple
just deassemble your device and clean it from inside with a special liquid.
I did it and it worked fine.

hey, which parts did you exactly clean up. as im facing ta exact same problems with my galaxy s
you have to replace the kernel...you flashes the wrong kernel that is not for your unit.

the kernel is ok, i think it has something with its charging port because it does not connect to pc, only charges of it.
it happened to me accidentally flash the wrong kernel. So wen I flash the one everything goes ok. Why not try it maybe same will do.

Dear all,
I am hoping someone can help me with the following problem.
My girlfriend was updating her phone (official update, her phone isn't rooted. It's completely stock) (I am not a SGS user myself)..
Then something went wrong, I don't know what. The update freezed.
The battery was removed and inserted again. When the phone was turned on again, a screen popped up: phone and pc connected, but between them a triangle. Probably meaning, there is no connection to the pc or samsung kies.
Sadly enough, the pc won't see the phone. So it cannot connect. I tried a hard reset. (volume up, home button, powerbutton). The only thing that happens is it starts up with the same screen.
So does anyone have an idea how to make the hardreset or to make it connect to samsung kies. Because now the phone is useless offcourse.
Thanks in advance!
(I have to admit, I did do a fast search but not very deep. I am not familier with samsung phone, or the samsung forum).
I hope you guys can help.
(30 minute battery pull did not work)
I called the customer service. They told me the phone is "bricked" and has to go back to repairing centre to fix it. I don't believe that.
Try leaving the battery out for about 10 minutes, then put it back in. Try that and see how that goes.
Failing that I would give your service provider a call and see what they can suggest.
Did you try a factory reset?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Did try a factory reset, but if it even won't do a hard reset, or go to the bootloader or anything like that , I can't....
I am currently waiting for the battery. in 4 munutes I have waited 30 minutes. That should be long enough.
SADLY ENOUGH, THE SAME RESULT AFTER BATTERY PULL FOR 30 Minutes. No samsung logo, just the screen with the phone and the pc stating there is a connection issue.
Can you get the phone into download mode by pressing volume down+home+power?

As you went through kies, and you are stock, take it back too samsung, and while you are at it, remind them what a piece of sh*t kies is!
Insanity cm 012/glitch
Hahaha, Kies sure is...
Thanks for all the support. I am happy to announce that the problem is solved. I think I tried to hardreset the damned phone 37 times precisely the same. That was just because I was to stubborn to believe a hard reset wouldn't work. It goes on doesn't it? Than it should be able to hard reset.
Well the 37th time it worked. I was shocked! So everything is fine now and my girlfriend is happy.
Thanks guys.
SOLVED.

Hi everybody,
a friend of mine got his HTC One (black) yesterday and rooted it. He flashed a proper custom ROM on it which I and another one of my work buddy use as well without any issues (InsertCoin). No further flashes done, no other custom kernels, no S-Off, no SuperCID. Just unlocked Bootloader and custom ROM.
He let the device run dry yesterday evening so it shut off itself automatically. He put it on his charger, the phone turned on, he did some surfing and installing apps from the market and set up his alarm. The phone charged over night and he was also able to switch off the alarm this morning.
He got ready for work, got into his car and wanted to switch on the screen on the one for some good tunes. But the screen stayed black.
When I arrived at work, he was a little upset and panicked a little. I thought I was able to recover the device.
After plugging it in to my work computer, the device manager just shows a unknown device called "QHSUSB_DLOAD" so I went to google and looked it up..
Weird thing is: QHSUSB_DLOAD wasnt seen yet on the HTC One (M7) as far as I can see it and it was pretty bad on the HTC One S. It means "Qualcom High Speed USB Download Mode" and on the One S as well as on the Nexus 4 this devices showed up after the bootloader got damaged or the device got stuck in that mode for good.
When plugging the device in (USB / Wall charger) the charging LED doesnt turn on at all, the capacitive buttons dont start to blink while holding down the power button as well.
This thing seems to be gone for good.
But aint it the way that we dont even have any access to the bootloader if its not an official update from HTC? Signature check and stuff? Since the device was rooted, no OTA updates were able to arrive at all. He told me that he didnt try to flash anything after we flashed the custom ROM.
Any advice on that?
Did you even try booting the device first thru hboot/bootloader or holding the power button to force a restart? If you did try connecting the device while on QHSUSB_DLOAD and execute a compatible RUU on your PC. RUU uses android's download mode to flash the ROM so it should be repaired by an RUU.
Already tried, no luck. Tells me the device has not been found.
I am sorry to hear that, man, but from the looks of it your friend now has a paperweight. I'd take it to an HTC service center and hear what they have to say regarding this; of course it will no longer be covered under warranty, but maybe they can fix it for you for a price or something.
Are you sure RUU can't find the phone? If it can't then I guess only a JTAG box can fix it so either send it to HTC for repair or have someone who knows JTAG fix it.

I saw this issue on my friend's GS3 once. It was hard bricked and there was no way to recover from what I read (at least on the GS3). I know I saw a thread somewhere here in this forum about the same issue and someone linked to a Sensation thread where there was a way to fix it but I'm not sure if it would apply to the One
Same problem - but the phone magically fixed itself!
I had the exact same problem with my HTC One as described in OP...
My alarm went off in the morning and I set off for work, my battery was low but I thought that I would just charge it when I got to work. I was playing a game (Dungelot) whilst waiting for my bus and was receiving pop up messages about low battery. When it got to 4% left I decided that I would finish the level then close the game down, but as I was just about to finish, the phone went blank...I assumed that I had naturally used up all the battery life and although peeved that I had probably lost my progress in the game, wasn't too bothered.
I got to work and plugged my phone in to charge on my computer. The computer wanted to search for QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers but I thought this must be what it does when my phone isn't switched on and it finds the device. I cancelled the search prompt and tried to switch my phone on...nothing happened.
I tried for the rest of the day, trying to force shut down the bricked phone by holding power in for 30 secs, trying to power into boot mode etc...everything! But the phone would not switch on and the only response I got from it was a little orange LED every now and again and the QHSUSB_DLOAD prompt.
After googling the prompt - I found myself here and REALLY began to sh*t my pants! I've only had the phone less than a month and felt I was tech-savvy enough to flash my phone with a new ROM (Android Revolution HD) to try and get rid of some of the bloatware. I had flashed a new ROM successfully a coupld of weeks before and everything had been fine up that point.
I went home depressed but throught i'd try to plug my phone into a proper mains charger rather than my work's old USB cable (that came with my previous HTC Desire Z) I was going to try a long night of searching the net to try and find a way where I could at least recover the photo's, Zoe's and vids of my new born son but had such a headache that I gave up and went for an early night.
I was woken unexpectedly the next morning by my phone alarm going off! I stopped the alarm and the home just went to Home screen as normal! I don't know how or why these events happened...whether it was the flashed ROM, the game I was playing, the battery running out before the phone could shut down properly, the old USB cable in my work not charging but detecting the device or a combination of all of those, but so far, the phone jumped back into life with the alarm after being charged in the mains all night!
Thought i'd share as it may just help someone else out there who encounters this!
Some phones have miraculously come back from QHSUSB_DLOAD with no explanation of why. Other than that it usually means a hard brick. You can send it to HTC, they will charge you and replace the main board, from what I've heard.

I wonder if having your alarm set saved you. This phone will actually power itself on so as not to miss an alarm.

My Solution
Had the same Problem.
My Solution was to Download "HTC One (M7) Toolkit" and force Fastboot.
Pushed Power and Volume Down until Screen was Flashing.
Took about 2 minutes and the Phone was rebooting.
I have no idea what was happening. I have no idea if this helps or works for others. But its worth trying.
Sorry for my bad english.

This is some kind of mode that is enabled when you hold power on button when the device battery is completely drained. i.e. when you try to turn device on it will not boot up (Special I was connected to usb cable via PC to charge my phone NEXUS 4 when I get into this mode). I saw a similar mode where nvflash commands are executed something like APX(can't recall correctly) with Tegra 4 device (that time also I was connected with a usb cable and charging the tablet when it was completely drained!). A simple solution to quit this issue is DO not Panic and let the device get a little charge. After that boot normally with the power button. In case if it didn't try other modes to enter such as recovery or fastboot reboot commands if your device is getting recognised..
QHSUSB DLOAD means its a hard bricked phone, No amount of messing about with it will fix it, Send it to a service centre, it will probable have to have the motherboard replaced..Sorry
My device entered in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode after the 4.4 ota was installed and 30 minutes later, I was able to turn up the phone. It restarted itself like 5 times and then it was normal. Miracle..

What do you mean by "force"? What did you do exactly?
My device wouldn't do anything, and it was in QHSUSB_DLOAD . But when I later pushed the power button for a minute, it worked.

mine spent the night carrying on waking took the charger and the green light for continued access, tried to turn it on but could not. After reading your response, I tried to hold the power button for longer. After 15 seconds the phone rang and the light came on, everything works perfect so far
Today while I was updating firmware phone gone to QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.
I am guessing it's end of road. :crying:
Phone is AT&T htc one that has not been updated yet and is un-rooted. Ok so i know there was a thread before about this, but there was no real solution. The phone home screens are fine but every app i open even ones that do not normally do so open in landscape mode. Yes i have turned on/off auto rotation, yes i have re-calibrated the g-sensor, have reset it, and lastly tried uninstalling several apps just in case.
*** also now it will not charges and says to use the supported charger when i am using the exact same charger that came with the box. i have had this phone for several months and do not know why this is occurring.
So if anyone could please help me fix it without Factory resetting it i would be very grateful
