HTC desire c stuck in landscape - HTC Desire C

Hi
I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with this. I have the desire c (branded to 3 and rooted) it has worked great for awhile but recently the screen keeps going into landscape and getting stuck there (even when holding it up right) I've tried turning auto rotate off but it still happens usually a restart fixes it for awhile but then it starts again. I found a app on the market that can force it back into portrait but then I can't make some apps full screen like YouTube. I've tried a factory reset a few times both through settings and by pushing power and volume up but not long after it starts happening again.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks.

Maybe you should backup your current rom, and then install a custom one maybe some files relating to the sensors could be corrupt.

Thanks i may try using a generic rom to see if it fixes it. What's the best way to back up my current rom? Gonna need to go back to it if I have to sent it off to get fixed.

Well I tried nameless Rom but it didn't fix it so looks like I'm gonna have to send my phone off for repair

Try calibrating your sensors.

Thanks I tried that but no luck the odd thing is the sensor seems to work cause I can play that game where you control the ball with the sensor. But its started doing other stuff now like it keeps turning the screen on on its own and putting phone on loud speaker and pausing music etc.

Weird... The game works, but the accelorometer doesn't work at other places

My wife's Desire C has the same problem. Stuck in landscape most of the time. Screen turning on, phonecalls sometimes suddently go to speaker. Sensors are working fine if you ask me.
I was trying to root it when I read this topic, I still might try a custom rom though.

Glad I'm not the only one who had this problem. Maybe there's a fault with some of the handsets or something.
I gave up and sent mine off for repair now.

Heyyy!!! Did u find any solution for your problem. My phone is also starting to behave in the same way....

I think I found the solution. It seems like the problem is with HTC's ROM based on ICS 4.0 and 4.0.4. I tried just about any ROM based on ICS (stock and custom) with any kernel combination and the problem repeats itself.
Flashed CM 10.1 and the problem is gone.

[REQ] AOSP 4.1.1_r6 (JRO03R) ROM

I would love a stock ROM without any customizations based on the latest sources dropped in AOSP, would anyone be kind enough to build me one? I'm sure I'm not the only one to want this. I don't got the kind of net or computer to compile myself (the source download itself is 6GB which is a bit difficult for me at the moment).
If you're rooted I think this is what you want http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905961

I haven't look for just a stock build of that, but haven't seen one anywhere. The above link is just for drivers/binarys and isn't a full ROM.
Not sure but I think that is the major difference between the two?

This... it is only the new drivers.

Be wary though, I think flashing the drivers mixes things up behind the scenes, for example I'm always running bug less beast for stability and I after I flashed the drivers everything seemed fine, till I went to the hospital and well they got free WiFi which would always connect properly, u just have to open a webpage to accept terms, conditions and then u can use their WiFi, well the other day (still on bugless beast) I tried to connect it would not obtain IP address what so ever so I couldn't even get to the splash screen to accept conditions and activate the WiFi, so I thought hmm I been here before plenty of times using my n7 with the mentioned ROM and had no issues with their WiFi then I started to think it was them and WiFi must be screwed up at the moment, and well that never changed my phone was fine so I decided f-it reflash the ROM on my n7 and boom that was the fix, anyways go download the latest bugless beast he updated to latest jro03r and is completely stock aosp with a nice reboot menu and camera/lock screen shortcut are included as well

Ok thx,
We'll be waiting for the next update from Google to solve this little problem.
I built the android-4.1.1_r6 branch a few hours ago, and have it running now. It has nothing
installed and is really useless as-is, I will upload it if you really want it.
EDIT:
I just went ahead and uploaded it
http://www.mediafire.com/?9yivy1dh53dhnco
flash system.img, boot.img with fastboot
boot into recovery wipe data/factory reset
install Nexus7-Binary-Update-JRO03R.zip
or it wont work.
install gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip if you want
any Google services.
I also uploaded ClockworkMod touch 6.0.1.4 for grouper

Touch screen randomly becomes unresponsive (SOLVED)

Hello guys not sure whether others are having this issue but with all the custom roms that I have tried except for arhd the touch screen randomly becomes unresponsive and the only solution is to lock and unlock the screen and it works fine after that.
I tried everything that I could think off- different kernels different roms, different overclocking frequencies governors you name it have tried it. Every time I think I have found a solution it happens again which is bloody annoying.
Interestingly it doesn't happen when the phone is plugged in to charge so am wondering whether it is related to voltage settings in the kernel or rom. If anyone has had the same issue and found a solution they could share that would be much appreciated. Thanks.

All ICS roms? There is a problem with the touchscreen on all ICS sense roms. It has to do with HTC's source which has dodgy touchscreen drivers or something. Try flashing hunterwu's kernel: it has fixed touchscreen and it really works.
It has nothing to do with clock speed, voltage, or anything. Try the kernel and see if it still has problems
Thanks Mark. I am using hunterwu's kernel. It is not the multi touch issue. The screen just becomes unresponsive completely and locking unlocking the phone sorts it.
Happening on all ics roms except arhd so not sure what it is...
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda app-developers app
I have not had such issue to this date, at least nothing I noticed. But I did notice ARHD works the best out of the ics roms, in general that is. So could be some random bug on other ics(I used to use project x but had no issue)
Ok for me it boils down to hunterwu kernel. Been running redux for 2 days now without a single episode of screen non responsiveness.
On hunterwu it happened like a gazillion times each day.

It is against the forum rules, that you agreed upon when signing up for this website, to bump before 24 hours of no activity.
See above, you can bump posts after 24 hours, understand you are experiencing issues, try google to see if other folks outside of XDA have had similar issues.

I have not found any solutions as yet, I think it is related to some service getting killed or something related to memory or IncS hardware limitation. It is quite possible that it is issue with games (due to above) because I remember testing touches with YAMTT app and touches worked fine, probably you can check it for your phone.
As a workaround, I lock-unlock again and see if it works. If it is still not working, long press home key to get app running history, remove that game and open it again (restarting game ). I remember on rare occasions I have to restart my phone.
P.S.
I am not expert, we have many experts here in this forums, so few of above may be incorrect

My screen is TOTALLY MESSED UP and I gotta do the whoooole process again kill task, go to home, lock screen unlock start app and if it still doesn't work, redo the cycle and I'm tired of doing that thx anyways

Yes, same here, its irritating. Have you tried SVHD 2.1 ROM with kangaroo v19 kernel, I am getting the best performance from my phone amongst the ROMs that I have personally tried. At this moment I am not playing games heavily, but have not faced this issue in svhd ROM. I would suggest that you keep ROM for 2-3 days to conclude if that ROM works for you (like performance, battery etc)
Meanwhile let's wait for solutions from experienced user or expert.

[Q] CM10 Camera Problem

Hello,
I'm new on these forums and my English is't wonderfull, sorry for that.
I got a HTC Desire c Rooted and with CM10, NOPE Kernel. My problem is the camera, I don't like the stock android camera with the grey box. So I searched for APK-files and found some good ones(Google camera, the on with the blue button).
It all worked fine but when I try to take a picture of a face it Force Closes itself.
This is with all the files I tried. there is also no option to disable face recognisation.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm running Andoid 4.1.2
Thanks
You can use Cyanogenmod 10.1 camera apk.it is not boxed but you can only have 3 mp cam

Hi,
I'm using cm10.0 with 4.1.2 But that camera is for 4.2
Is that a problem or not?
---------EDIT------
So, I flashed tjhe cm 10.1 camera. It runs but when I try to snap a picture of a face it force closes
Isn't there a fix for this? or is this something else like missing files on my phone.

What do you mean?
The stock camera isn't causing the problem. It is just ugly XD
It is with all the cameras I tried but they all FC when I try to take a picture of a face.
Could this be a missing or broken Face detection module?
Is this fixable?
I'm using another camera (camera zoom fx) but I prefer the minimalistic one with the blue dot (KitKat I think)

I know.... It is sort of ugly, but since it works, I use it.
