My screen does not rotate automatically. Of course I checked the screen settings! It only rotates when forced by the app.
Would this be a hardware thing?
If you're refering to your homescreen, then no. The default Moto G launcher doesn't have a landscape mode

I'm having the same problem...some games I can't even play
I know about the homescreen of course. But it's within every app that allows or need rotation.
I contacted motorola and they concluded that this is a hardware failure. I will go back to the store today to have it replaced.

i hate the screen orientation is froyo. i hate that it turns to both sides left and right. i like it better in the 2.1 roms with only rotates to the left. is there anyway i can fix this and stay in froyo??
HELP!
Can't please everyone....
You have to wait for the source to be out for this to happen.
what possible reason do you not like this extra orientation option? you can still simply rotate to the same direction that you like.
My guess is that it makes it more difficult to use the phone when lying down on the couch or in bed.
This actually is one of the things I'm looking forward to the most on FroYo. For whatever reason, I hate using the phone in landscape mode when it's turned to the left.
'ADW. Launcher' in the market lets the orientation go to landscape. I just installed it and I'm having a blast with it. Check it out.

I don't think this has anything to do with OP's issue.
And I'm going to agree with the OP - I don't really care for the full 270* rotation. Anytime that I want to use landscape, I'm going to want my right (dominant) hand to have easy access to the trackball. Also, as pfmiller mentioned, the 270* rotation makes it more awkward to use while in a reclined position. It definitely should be a setting configurable by the user, like in the CM 2.1 ROMs.
I love it with the 270degree Option.
I think you can disable it with spare parts, isn't it?
There are widgets on the market that can disable screen rotation easily.... but only works for some apps in 2.2. I just found out earlier today, FeedR keeps rotating even though I disabled rotate.
I agree with the OP. I would like the option to choose which autorotation method I want. I like to read in bed on my side and it is very uncomfortable with the new 270 degree system.

OP is not requiering to disable rotation, only 270deg rotation.
So that the left-rotation (landscape) will still work.
360 might also be good
try to mod something about that... but guess it's too dificult for me

Does the program not have an ignore rotation in settings? Just reading thread seen this.
# Fixed the ignore screen rotation option
But then maybe that's only regards a phone with gyrator?

I'm using the last version /1.5.3/...and yes, it has this option, but there is some bug. If you know the today plugin- "Motohome" .. it hasn't landscape mode..and my idea is the same...i want to disable the landscape of Iphone today or Manila.
Hey all
I typically like to use my phone in portrait mode, and only want to rotate when I'm watching videos or when I'm viewing photos.
I have used rotate switches, and whilst they work perfectly, I was wondering if there is a solution to what I want.
Is there a mod/app/rule that we can set up so that the phone enables auto rotation in the Album? even if the screen is locked to portrait?
thanks

^Yeah even I prefer to keep my phone in portrait mode at all times, so I know that it's kinda annoying to toggle it on/off every time before opening the album app!
Although I couldn't find any solution for the same, there is a simple workaround. Just search for "ScreenRotate Small App" in Play Store. Using this, at least you could save yourself the hassle of navigating through the Settings every time to toggle it on/off!
you can use Tasker and create a rule to turn on auto rotate when you open the gallery (and other) apps and turn off auto rotate when you exit it

In the Tasks, you create one for turning on auto-rotate (action -> display -> display rotation -> on) and one for turning off (action -> display -> display rotation -> off). So there's 2 tasks total for this. Then in profiles, create one based on Application context, choose the applications you want and hit back, then pick the Enter task (auto-rotate on). Then long-hold the Enter task that just showed up, and choose Add Exit Task, where you'll pick the auto-rotate off task.
If you still need help (and if I have time later), I can add screenshots of the process.
It not rotate same home screen

the lockscreen and homescreen only rotates when you have it connected to the dock. Curently you cannot rotate the the lockscreen, homescreen and app menu screen. This is a restriction that the xperia home launcher has, you can install an alternative home launcher from the the play store if you want to have the rotate function. Development for this phone is slow at the moment because of the issues that arise when you unlock the bootloader, once Sony sorts this, im sure a dev will be able to enable the function.
Use Ultimate Rotation Control from the play store.
You can set a rule that it forces landscape while in dock. It's working perfectly for me.

Hi,
Can anyone help me enable Upside down rotation on a rooted Note 8?
In the wireless charging doc i need to put it upside down because of a ring on the back, and it would be great if the lock-screen and everything could rotate accordingly.

Use a "rotation" app from playstore to get 180 rotation...

You should be able to rotate the Note 8 upside down and it should rotate that way.

I tried 2 "rotation control" apps, Android P rotation, Rotation orientation manager. Only the last one allows upside down orientation, and it does not work for the lockscreen, which is what i was looking for.

Is wish it were that easy. They stopped allowing upside down rotation for phones about the same time they got rid of buttons, i guess to not confuse the user, but i would still want to have that choice.

Thanks, it works for the lock-screen but it has some weird interactions. The lock-screen closes in less than 3 seconds, and when you reopen it, it's upside down . It does not work for the AOD.
Do you know of a way to keep the lockscreen on for more time? I have the lock set to 1 minute, but the screen turns from lockscreen to AOD in less than 5 seconds.

Yeah, sorry i haven't used that app for a few years, stopped using it when it wouldn't scale landscape home screen correctly.
You could try using the s9 "launcher" maybe it will interact better with the rotation app..... but be aware in my experience message/email etc badges don't show at all (on icons), so definitely not a great solution....but that launcher does have built in rotation.....just not 180 i believe. Also if i remember right the setting in tw settings also enables lock screen rotation...again not 180 but might cooperate better with app.

Nope, the app is a DUD. i bought the payed version and it did not recognize the licence, google reimbursed me. Back to the drawing board.

Only other thing i can think of would be a Smali edit to the stock launcher to allow for 180....you might find something in the TW Mods thread..
