My auto rotation is not working correctly. It will turn to landscape mode, but will not change back unless I unchecked the auto rotation button. I have adjusted the Horizontal calibration and the Gyroscope calibration without any success. I first noticed it on Check rom after a couple of days. Last night I switched to Rocket V23 and I still have the problem. Any suggestions would be helpful. I have gotten use to turning my phone to landscape with the display adapting and then turning it back. Now it seems to be a hassle to turn on/off the auto rotate button to adjust screen.
Thanks

I managed to install google's photosphere camera from jelly bean 4.3 on my samsung galaxy camera (GC-EK100).
However while taking photospheres i notice some slightly auto spinning - resulting in weird screwed spheres, since the camera thinks it was rotated, while is what not. Usually i end up with the top half rotated 90 degrees against the lower half.
So i take one shot for the sphere and place the camera on a still surface - it starts rotating (the screen, not the camera, of course).
Any idea?
I already used motion calibration from setting menu, which did not change anything. Any other way to "calibrate" this? Does the motion calibration work on this, because the app seems to be portrait only?

maybe disabling auto rotation in setting so it stays on the same orientation while photosphering! i will try that on mine
Hi Guys,
I love xperia products specially this xperia z3c.. however, there is one pet peeve that is really starting to irritate me.. everytime I try to disable auto rotate, the screen still rotate.. wtf?? I went to accessibility and check marked the auto rotate.. then I went to display and un-checked auto rotate.. then I went to the notification area and selected portrait.. on all the cases, my screen still rotates from portrait to landscape.. previously, with xperia zr, all I have to do is select portrait INSTEAD of auto rotate in the notification area.. but now, in z3c no matter what I select in the notification area be it portrait or auto rotate, IT AUTO ROTATES... is there a setting I am missing that needs to be checked/unchecked so that this phone stays on portrait?
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks..
:highfive:
settings> Display> screen rotation> make sure Auto-rotate screen is off.

tested on my end and the notification widget works fine in both portrait and auto-rotation. try restarting your phone that should solve this issue.
I am intermittently having the same Issue as the OP, except on a Z3 (non C).
Sometime the phone is just not respecting the Auto Rotate Settings, I have smart rotate off (never used it) but at time toggling Auto Rotate from the top bar or in the settings menus does nothing.
I feel it has something to do with docking though, just a hunch.

If you're using a magnetic charger or dock, that might be the problem. Unplug it and then put in Portrait and try again

I've got more or less the same problem.
When I connect the magnetic charger the screen will always rotate to landscape and upside down, no matter what I selected for screen rotation.
When I unplug the magnetic charger it will almost never react to the setting of auto-rotation, in 95% of the cases it will always stay in portrait.
By plugging and unplugging the magnetic connector and altering the auto-rotation setting the device (when unplugged) would respond to the setting of the auto-rotation by rotating to portrait or landscape but never upside-down.
Locking and locking the device turned it back to when unplugged always stay in portrait mode and when plugged always rotate.
This problem is only for the home screen, applications react properly to the setting but the homescreen does not.
I could not find all settings.
I can find
Display - When device is rotated
Accessibility - auto-rotate screen
I cannot find anything in notification (for me notification and sound are under the same menu 'Sound & Notification'
When I change the setting in display I can see the setting in accessibility is linked to this one, changing one also changes the other one.
What is normal behaviour and what can I do so my phone behaves and reacts in the normal way
So I've been having an issue with auto rotate for awhile now. If I restart my phone it would rotate for the first 2 or 3 minutes then stop. If I needed the screen to rotate I would have to do it manually but today I find a solution. Its been working for over an hour now so I'm thinking it's a fix to some extent. I will not restart the phone as yet to see if it reoccur not yet anyway.
Now for the Instructions on what I did
1.boot phone normally and wait till screen stop rotating automatically.
2. Do a sensor test by dialing *#0*#
3. go to sensors and check if any numbers are at the accelerometer
4. Boot into safe mode
5. Open sensors again
6. This is important part. Boot normally and b4 screen stop auto rotate turn off auto rotate and go in sensor test.
7. Press graph in the sensor test of the accelerometer and move the screen around watch if the graph moves up and down.
8. Allow the phone to stay in the sensor test for as long as it would have taken for the autorotate to stop working. Mine would have been 2-3 minutes as I said before.
9. Exit the sensor test by double tapping back.
10. Enable auto rotate.
Now your phone should be rotating automatically based on my results. Hope this helps. If mine continues to work I'll give an update and if it stops well ill give an update but for now it's working like it should. Let me know if it helps.
So after weeks of trying to figure this out I've found what's causing the problem. Not sure how to fix it. When the phone stays on the charger the rotate will stay on if it's not rotating while it's on then simply plug in ur charger and then restart and once ur charger stays plugged in then it should auto rotate. So in my view I'm thinking there is some electrical problem or lack of power or some how it's linked to the USB port. Please try it and report if u get the same result.

So I flashed the latest global rom (stable) after playing around with the android 10 beta 3 for a few days, and now none of the motion sensors are working at all.
My bootloader is still un-locked, I've made sure to move every setting related to auto-rotate and nothing seems to work. (the phone won't even light up the finger print sensor when I pick the phone up, but it does light up after I touch the sensor)
I also tried the "CIT" menu, by spaming on the Kernel version on the settings, and the X, Y, Z values don't even show up for the magnetic sensor, gyroscope or the accelerometer.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Any feedback would be welcome, thanks in advance!
