Only happens sometimes, fixes itself if you put it to landscape then back. Does this happen to anyone else?

I am wondering if anyone else has seen this. When I am in email and slide the device to go to landscape mode it changes fine. If I stay in email and go back to portrait, I lose half the screen as it stays in landscape. I fix it by closing email so it is not a huge deal but can be a PITA at times. Anyone? Suggestions?
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,
I'm using GingerDX V011. I have tried wiping but when I use the keyboard, it causes the screen to go blank.
If I rotate phone sometimes it works and if I manage to quickly grab focus from keyboard back onto the textedit widget, it holds the screen the way it is supposed to.
However, it is a bit of a pain. It has happened with the Android keyboard and I have installed Swype and I get the same result and that is the keyboard I usually use.
Anyone else have this behavior and know how to resolve?
Fixed this, it was Xperia Arc theme issue on X8.
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?
Has anyone enabled Talkback feature? It freezes the phone and slows down like anything that I couldn't even scroll down.. What the heck is this???
