[Q] Screen rotation issue - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here my question, has anybody faced screen rotation problem?
I'm running cyanogenmod 10.2.
My screen often turns itself when I'm using an app, but my auto rotation is off and when i want to turn it back to normal it doesn't work, only solution is to press home button and then he just goes back to normal to the homescreen.
It happens on cyanogenmod 10.2 and omnirom 4.3 (think it does also on other cm versions)
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks.
SOLUTION: Go to Samsung Galaxy Advanced settings (not the usual settings) and uncheck Use Calibration Data, then calibrate.

Something similar happend to me today. I checked use calibration data in Advanced setting. If you did same, uncheck it. In CM10.2 there is separate app for that I think. Called Advanced settings in drawer. In CM10.1 it is in settings.

Hidden Menu | Device Test | Full Access | Root Not Required

Well this one isn't so difficult but I though I'd share for those that have not worked it out yet.
The LG Device Test "HiddenMenu" is apparently on all shipping phones and it's simply disabled via removing the menu entry.
To activate you need to create a shortcut to this hidden menu. You can do this with most replacement launchers and apps like BetterCut.
Example using LauncherPro (others will use a similar method):
Long press on home screen
Select Shortcuts
Select Activities
Scroll down to and expand com.lge.hiddenmenu
Select HiddenMenu (first entry)
Enter Shortcut name
Click on shortcut to launch
Hit 'Thanks' below
Also now Logcat app:
As above
Scroll down to and expand LG Debug
Select LG Debug (first entry)
Enter Shortcut name
Click on shortcut to launch
Hit 'Thanks' below
Enjoy the vast amount of options and tests in there, and be careful as some are destructive.

Wtf I just dimmed my touch buttons nice.
The brightess of the buttons was to bright for using the phone as a ebook reader at night the setting stays avyive even after exiting the test.
Btw is the thanks button only displayed on the site and not in tge xda app?
Thanx!

Thx buttons pressed!!
The phone is getting better and better.
Only thing for me left to do is Root, No adds and delete couple of apps.
And try to fix the Lock screen lag when you power on screen.

What specifically is that? I use WidgetLocker and don't experience lag... does it taker a while with the stock one to become responsive? I can't recall that.

For a noob like me, which free apps can I use for launch this service?
I'm also frustrated about the lack of dim option as standard in the phone.

Sometimes it goes to homescreen and then the lockscreen, when it's been idle for some time.
It also happens with widget locker for me.

I experience the same issue, but even more annoying, it keeps displaying unread messages on the lockscreen until i reboot.
I'm using Handcent, guess the lockscreen gets the unread count from the original messaging app. If anyone know of a fix, please do share.
Hi alls. For those experiencing some nagging issues like lag or bugginess, are your phones rooted to Gingerbread or...? Thanks!
No, rooted stock froyo 2.2.2 in my case.
Gingerbread isn't out yet :-(

Gulp, I'm new at this... I wonder if after its rooted will these issues be solved? IDK, maybe it's the LG UI?

Yeah could be. Did anyone try to delete all the LG apk's and see if the stock lockscreen is the same??

Probably the free version of Launcher Pro does it I think.

I don't think I get the former, but certainly dodgy behaviour immediately after boot.
I have started getting the message count now when the stock screen flashes up. It seems to count all messages, read or otherwise.
Perhaps somebody can start a confirmed & common bugs thread in General for a good collection of them.
Some more:
I can't use a long complex password to connect to a WiFi-G AP, but a simple password works just fine.
Music controls return to notification shade sometimes after a reboot, box in Music app is still unchecked.

No problems with the above and lock screen, I'm using Launcher pro and Pattern lock.
These are bugs i'm experiencing:
[Not realy a bug but a LG feature]Multiple exchange accounts disabled in LGemail app. Resolved by using the Android mail client and freezing LGemail (thanks for that ).
Camera brightness not listening to "auto" brightness, but uses the manual settings. Maybe it`s just me, but can somebody check the brightness of the camera app after setting the brightness to minimal and then check "Auto".

GMD Gesture Control

Hi,
did anyone try if GMD Gesture Control is working on the XZ? Installed it a few minutes ago, but gestures are not working, even the back key from the nav bar gets quiet unresponsible.
I've try it, not working as good as on the tablet. I will not recommend it on the Z ( or any smartphone), on the tablet it is a must have!
Found the solution. You have to set the parser manually to ICS default.
Will try to get used to the tablet gestures. The ones for phones get activated be accident :silly:

Try a reboot. I don't have any drain caused by the app
For my xperia z works very very well

[Q] Couple of questions about CyanogenMod 10.1

Install went perfect on my Nook HD, but have a couple of questions. Can't seem to find in the settings where to turn on USB debugging and how do I turn off the typing sound?
Thank you

Go to settings, about, tap build number 7-8 times for developer options.
Keyboard sounds should be under settings, sound. If not there then under keyboard input.

On the lock screen is there anyway to remove what is on there? Say like the phone etc...
Once again thank you for your quick response

Go to settings --> lock screen --> slider shortcuts.
Slide the circle to the slot you want to change, and choose "empty" for the shortcut you want to get rid of.
Not sure if anyone else is having a problem but I had trouble removing the camera widget off the lock screen even though it was disabled in the settings on carbonmod. Had to download "Lockscreen policy" app to remove it.

Screen rotation issue

Just installed CM on my Nook HD+... WOW!
Anyway, in the catagory of 'if it ain't broke, why did I fix it?"... In looking at settings, I noticed under 'display' that the Auto rotate wasn't checked (however, it was auto rotating just fine). I figured it should be checked, and now the home screens won't rotate (apps that are supposed to rotate still do so, it's only the home screens). I tried unchecking/ rechecking/restarting and a combination of those to no avail. Any ideas on this one?
And as long as I'm asking questions... the 'click' when typing is pretty annoying. I can't find an option to silence that?
Thanks!

Try going to settings, accessibility and see it it is checked there. Also checkbox in launcher settings.
The keyclick sound is found in settings, language and input, aosp keyboard, and the settings box to the right. There is a sound on keypress checkbox.

Yep, it was in the launcher settings. Dunno if that got auto unchecked or what, but now that it's checked, home screens rotate. Also, the keypress click is gone. Thanks, I really appreciate it! :victory:

How to restore flashlight on Quick Settings

Hi.
I have 5.0.2 andall of a sudden, the flashlight icon on the Quick Settings bar dissapeared.
Anybody knows how to restore it back??
Thanks!!
Lollipop puts the things into the quick settings that are often used (exept some standard settings like wifi which stay there independent from usage). So if you start the flashlight a few times from the settings menu it should show up in the quick settings again. I´ve got the same with gps.
hmmm...I just noticed this. I don't even find a flashlight app in the drawer anymore. What happened here?
It used to be there and I liked the easy accessibility of it. I want the flashlight to be locked in the quick settings.

Where is the flashlight in the Settings??? I have no flashlight there! Please post a screenshot of what you have on yours. Thanks!
You´re right,there isn´t a flashlight app in the drawer and I even don´t find a way to activate it in the settings....
Restart your phone.
Restart
Usually a restart fixes this for me!
I've restarted the phone several times since then but never came back...
My only hope is to search again the command to clear the data for system ui and see if that works or not. It did it for one option once, maybe it can make it for the flashlight again...
I had mine disappear too. It came back after I downloaded another Flashlight App and used it, but that may have been a coincidence.
i have restarted the phone and nothing happened. i dont even know where to locate torch in the phone other than quick settings
Try taking a photo with the flash turned on and check your quick settings after.

Wiping cache partition in twrp worked for me.
I had faced the same issue. But after I turned off and turned on I got my flashlight back on quicklaunch.
Turn on camera flash and take some photos or make a video with your flash on then restart your phone.. I did and it worked on motog2 xt1068...
The quick settings are managed based on the settings you use frequently
I have taken some photos with flash and got the torch in quick settings. thanks a lot..
