[Resolved] Auto-rotation doesn't work - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a Galaxy S3 Mini I8190 running 4.1.1 XXALJL (rooted) and the auto rotation doesn't work. I tried full wipe and calibration but nothing happens. And before you ask, yes, the auto rotation option is obviously enabled.
Any ideas?

Re: [Q] Auto-rotation doesn't work
Have you got auto rotate box ticked in the display setting, or pull down bar on top of display and see if screen rotation is green. Or maybe you upgrade your firmware to 4.1.2,or could be some App turning it off.

So if you upgrade to 4.1.2 the screen rotation is gone?

Be carefull what are you flashing. If your Mini is 8190N (means NFC enabled), you'll need NFC ROM. I just flashed 4.1.2. and all works fine. However, the phone keep most of the time on G/E instead of 3G/H...

AFAIK my device is I8190. I flashed the rom I mentioned earlier and it didn't work out as planned. It stopped after flashing at CWM asking if I wanted to flash and untrusted image which didn't work anyways. After continuing the device boots normally but the problem is the same (rotation doesn't work) and worse is the capacitive buttons didn't work at all.
I downloaded my stock rom and gonna flash it now but I will lose the root though.
Edit: just finished flasing the stock rom I8190XXALJL_I8190OJVALJ9 and the rotation problem is still there. Also I noticed the auto brightness doesn't work as well. I'm wondering if it's a defect or just a bug in 4.1.1.

We don't have auto brightness sensor.
Dfaq did you flash?
Possible faulty accelerometer?

Yeah, I found out about the whole light sensor thing later, kinda pisses me off though.
I too have a feeling it's a problem with accelerometer. Especially since upgrading to 4.1.2 didn't help.
Anyways, I took it today to the service center and I'm waiting for them to call me and tell me what they'll do. I just hope it doesn't take long, it's frustrating as it is.
Edit: I got it back from the service shop, they said it was a hardware issue, but it's fixed now and working fine.

[Q] OFFICIAL STOCK ICS PROBLEMS for note!??

Maybe its just me!!! but I find that after updating to ICS 4.0.3 on note the ram usage is always quite high, as always around 600-700. does anyone else have this problem ?
Another problem i find is the lag in the camera? like when you take a picture and then scroll through picture you've taken, after press the back key and it lags for a while before returning to home screen..
PLease say it isnt just me
p.s Ive got the TGY(hong kong) version of ICS officially from kies!!
+1 i oso got problem is the ram...it is very high...higher than gingerbread...any suggestion??
Suggestion:
go to a cm9 build ROM with a "safe" kernel as well.

Just a word of warning....a factory reset or any kind of wipe could hard brick your device on official samsung roms.
Don't wipe!! It could trigger the eMMC bug and possibly brick your phone if you try to flash anything. The best advice is to flash a safe gb rom using pc odin and wait until a solution comes out.

I presume that your screen was off during much of this time? I am using the LPY build and use my note for prolonged book reading. With the screen on auto brightness I am lucky to get 6.5 hours with all other data services running.

I thought brick problems was caused by cwm wipes, i dont think.the emmc problem is being experienced by those of us using stock.only? ?? I have looked at quite a few threads and it appears to me only people who root get the issue may be wrong but i peesoannly think.stock only should be safe

I think likewise, there is one case of bricking using the wipe in stock recovery (XXLPY if I didn't remember wrongly), but the person has rooted his phone using Dr Ketan method (temp cwm + su-busybox installer), so is still not a pure official stock rom imo.
I just finally upgraded to official ICS and using LP9...
So far everything is buttery smooth.
Just a question.. Is doing a factory reset (under Backup & Reset) the same as wiping thru the Recovery Mode?

Beg to differ.. On official ics upon factory reset its unlikely that one would hard brick the phone...

Softkey problem

My sister's galaxy s both the back and option softkeys are not working..
is there a way to solve this problem or is this a hardware issue and need to be brought to a repair shop?
Did this happen suddenly or they never worked? Did you try flashing a new rom?
If it ends up being an unfixable hardware issue a good workaround would be installing a rom that let's you activate navigation bar (like slim ics for example).

Problem with answering Calls - Running CM 10 - Jelly Bean 4.1.2
I have Galaxy S GT-19000 - installed CM 10 -Jelly Bean 4.1.2.- previously running GB 2.3.6.
Generally works well but have problem when receiving calls as Lock Screen with a pattern of Concentric Circles is displayed even though Lock Screen turned off. If I press on this screen the incoming phone call is disconnected .
However if I am careful and drag screen to the right I see very small green symbol to pickup phone.
Is there anyway to remove this locking pattern so that it does not display when phone rings and accept incoming calls ?
Note when the phone sleeps the Lock Screen is not displayed which suggests that the Lock Screen is not activated.
I have looked in settings but can't find any other way to remove the locking pattern when calls are recieved.
Just added to this query as follows:- When connecting to Charger the phone used to emit an audible sound - it still charges but I can't see in settings any action to enable sound.
I would appreciate your help

bump - anyone ?

[Q] Build-in torch not working properly

Widget torch stops working after using camera with flash. To make it work again you need to either delete "broken" shortcut from main screen and established new one or reset your phone pushing poweroff button for about 8 seconds. Is there any improvement for this soft or you have other solutions?

You could try another flashlight app. A good one I've tried before is TeslaLED, has more functionalities than the stock one and I noticed it worked when the stock one didn't (like with some custom kernels/ROMs).

[Q] Touch screen problem on CM 10.1

Hi all. I use CM 10.1.3 by Mardon for ace cooper. When i install a couple of mods from recovery after few reboots the screen automatically shows and functions only via a small circle displayed when touched. To select an app, i first have to drag the circle to that app and tap to select it. I have to reflash the rom to restore normal functioning.
Any suggestion??

I could'nt find any settings for this..not even in development settings. It's more like a pen view like on Note2.. a circle follows and selects the app on which circle is positioned, but since ace does not have any pen i have to drag the circle..
And i don't really flash strange mods, only ones which are used, reviewed and recommended.. and this happens after every few mods (not the same ones)..

The first installation is fine..the problem is with third or fourth flash..be it update or uninstaller. I guess the problem showed up when I flashed PX Recovery 0.4.0 or updates for MA6 KERNEL..
I strongly feel its some problem with device booting from recovery or script installation..

I hope you are not mistaking the cicle with boot animation circle..its one like in air view with a touch pen enabled..
The touch screen works but only via draging the circle around..
Also the circle does not stay on the screen, it appears when i touch it, then disappears after 3-4secs.

Hey guys....
a very old post... but im facing the same problem...
any solution?
I used Fly-On mod on Mardon's CM10.1 and I've never had that problem. Also I'm using that mod right now on CM7.2 and also no problems at all. Wipe all and re-flash the rom, I think it's the only way to fix this problem.
