auto rotation not working now...

On ultimate captivate rom with jk4 modem and gb's 11811 kernel. All of the sudden the phone froze. Did a 3 button hard reset to boot back up. Everything was fine except for a big problem. The auto rotation doesn't work anymore. Disabled/re enabled in settings. Rebooted. Help please!?

Sounds like a bad flash to me. If it were my device, I would flash stock, master clear, and install the ROM fresh and clean. If the problem recurs, I would re-download the ROM zip. And flash clean again as above.
I had to do all of that on my last flash due to a partially unhappy zip.

When you say that Auto-Rotation isn't working you talking about in any app/location? Or just the home screen?
On some of the Rom's the Home Screen doesn't rotate into landscape mode.
Just an FYI

It doesn't work in any app. Unchecking the box in settings and re checking it doesn't help either. Nothing workS. Maps, browser, youtube etc. It was working on this rom for a month and now it all of the sudden isn't. I'm going to flash to stock to see if its hardware related

Just a heads up: I had to flash over again due to a bad kernel flash. My home screen would not rotate. Through my own trial and error I found that when using Launcher Pro as my default launcher, my home screen rotates. I have been using Launcher Pro for so long I just assumed that it rotated with the stock launcher. This my be your case.

Do you use Screeble?
I've had the rotate problem on multiple roms. I have been using Screeble, and have become suspicious of it.
I am currently on Serindipity 3.5.2 ever since it cfame out. AT that time I stopped using Screeble. It has been good ever since.
I just installed Screeble. If it is Screeble causing my issues, I suspect it will return within a week.
The only way I've been able to fix it is with a fresh flash. That has fixed it every time.
I'll post back if I find it comes back. I'll watch here...interested if you use Screeble or not.

Well...tell you the truth...i have no clue what that is...so id have to say ....no...

Not sure what to tell you then.
I have already taken Screeble off my phone. It was acting up, and I didn't want to chance it making me need to reflash.
Of course, I'm not even sure that app is causing any problem with auto rotate.
If your continues to act up, it'll be interesting to see if it starts working after a fresh re-flash.
Sorry I don't have anything else to offer.

[Q] Bit of an annoying issue...

I unrooted my Z1 for several reasons, but for the time being, mainly was so I could use an app called power schedule. When I set a time to turn off, the app works fine, but a permission pop up comes up which stops my phone turning off automatically. Is there anyway to turn off this pop up off or grant permission to allow the app to function? (I unrooted using vroot)
Thanks

I managed to swap superuser for SuperSU and the problem is solved.

Wow, I you did that on an unrooted device, please tell me how

Note 4 Fingerprint Scanner

Can someone please check how well the fingerprint scanner works? Is it better than the s5 fingerprint scanner that was a piece of crap?!?!

I set it up and already stopped using it. Failed too many times and I couldn't get private mode to work which is the only reason why I wanted the fingerprint.

I have read somewhere that the fingerprint scanner is the same as the s5, so no it's not any better.

I just started using it. Seems fine so far. I'll report back tomorrow after I've spent more time with it.

Works fine. :good:

Works fine with me. 8 out of 10 times I don't need to re-swipe. I like it.

Found out that my fingerprint private mode and s health crashing is due to xposed. Pretty much ducks considering you basically have to choose what you want most

Is Xposed the pesky app doing that? I just installed Xposed and YouTube Adaway, after I did that the S Health app stopped working.

works great. this is now my go to. i'm quite surprised how well it worked. maybe it was how i registered my prints. who knows.

Yeah, was pretty upset that I can't use the hrm with xposed or private mode. I tried the whole changing the build prop ro.securestorage trick but it caused nova launcher to crash until I changed it back. Smh.

I would use the fingerprint scanner but when I'm excited, my hands get sweaty. Hands have been sweaty for the past 6 hours or so messing around with this beast lol.
Gotta wait till I calm down :b.

I uninstalled xposed framework and wanam because I noticed that if they are
active it makes the screen scrolling in most any app and launcher scrolling
from home screen to home screen after a while the scrolling gets stuck for a
few seconds intermittently. (like a slight delay where the phone feels like it locked up)...
The phone never done that before installing xposed framework and wanam.

Sweet!! I hated the s5 scanner and love my iphone 6 plus scanner. I'm selling my iphone to get the note 4 and would be upset to lose the ability to unlock my phone using the scanner. Got to keep these chicks out of my phone lol lol

I had the samething happened to me. I didn't think of uninstalling xposed. I had to odin back 2 twice because removing root and doing the factory reset just made the phone rebooting. Everything ran great until i installed xposed. Its ruuning great now without xposed app. Don't want to mess with it anymore.

I've noticed this too. You think its just something that can be fixed with updates to xposed? to calibrate it to work smoother with the note 4?

Been using it since I got my unit and it works perfectly every time unless I swipe across it sideways or something weird like that. Also on the subject of xposed I loaded it onto the phone and had nothing but issues and massive slow downs, once I removed it the phone went back to normal. So I guess xposed just isn't ready yet.

I like it and I have no problem.
You get 10 times to record it, so I swipe it straight, sideways, that way, this way, etc
It work for me!

it slowed the phone down and froze as well on mine but i noticed that it had to do something with gaining root access. Like installing aftermarket apps took forever as the installation process just hung when on wifi. (dont ask me but i noticed the wifi would reconnect and the the app installed). After a while though, (app settings started actually working) the device was snappy. Not sure if the system needed to settle or what but everything seems to be working fine. The only thing not working for me is the private mode. Without private mode, i have no use for the fingerprint and with the spigen neo hybrid, i cant get it to actually register my heart rate so unless i take the case off i wont be using that either i suppose.

I just assumed xposed just wasn't ready for the note 4 yet. I got a lot of weird issues the moment I put it on and it was like pulling teeth to remove it because I came to depend on a lot of stuff it did. But I am sure it will get an update and be working again. It was just weird to see how crappy the system got all of a sudden, I had 4 photos on my phone and not linked to dropbox or drive but when I tried to open the gallery it would hang for 2 minutes before displaying the four images. I think we maybe expecting to much from a phone that isn't "out" yet (or was today the launch date)

i didn't have that issue but i did notice hangs in and out of numerous apps. to be honest, i haven't noticed it anymore though. It felt as though something was going on in the background and now that its done, it seems to have smoothed out. i wish i had the same experience with the fingerprint scanner though. I noticed when swiping down with my pointing finger, that it registers pretty well but when we hold our device... we typically use our thumbs and i couldn't get my thumb to unlock the phone as well as my pointing finger.

Wife's Note4 screen stays on.

Hello and Happy Turkeyday to all. I have an issue with my wife's note. When she gets any notifications they turn the screen on and it doesn't turn off. I feel pretty knowledgeable about the android O.S. in a whole, I have my S5 rooted and running AICP. I just can't figure out why the notifications cause the screen to stay on. Has anyone else had this problem maybe you could help shed some light on my issue. Thanks in advance.

Is the phone rooted?

No she won't let me root her phone.

Same problem
I have the exact same problem on my Note 4 (N910F).
My phone is rooted and I have had the problem from the start.
I am also running a custom kernel now but the problem persists.

Any ideas on why this is happening anyone? I've got it to not turn the screen on for a notification but now it won't turn off when plugged in.

Turn off the lock screen notifications, or everything you can on the lock screen settings, most likely something is causing the screen to wake lock. My bet is the weather widget.

I just searched for the same problem on the Galaxy s5 and someone said to download wakelock-detector to see if it's an app.
Will keep you updated if it helps.

So a little update, so far, my problem seems to be fixed.
After the app told me that Dsploit was causing a lot of screen-on time, I disabled the app.
Haven't had it happen so far today so I hope this helps you too.

Can anyone else have other fix? I have new note 4 with rom stock and very few apps (5-8 apps)
the "Wakelock Detector-Save Battery" app requird root this not my phone so I can't root for now.

If you have very few apps installed, uninstall those apps one by one to see which one is potentially keeping the screen on. Otherwise, do a factory reset, clear cache; also ensure power button is sticky and is fully functional.

Thx, What I did in the end is disble a few stock apps (I add a pic)
And set the Screen time to 30 sec and shut down the deivce got the battery out turn on, set the Screen time to 1 min and shut down...
a few times in the end got it back to the time I want, all of this fore "soft" reset the database of the settings
..now for about a week+ the problems won't show again :highfive:

Boot into recovery and clear cache
or factory reset like everyone said

Great to hear all is well. Please tell me that you're going to root.

Ambient Displaying incorrect time

For whatever reason when I enable ambient display the time won't update until I unlock the device. Has anyone had this issue? I'm stock and rooted with Franco kernel.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

Try wiping dalvik and cache in recovery, maybe fix permissions as well. If it persists, try re-installing stock kernel, or maybe re-flash the rom as a last resort.

Do not do fix permissions, it'll cause your phone to boot loop on the nexus 6.
Kernel has nothing to do with the time and making it display incorrectly.

I have the same issue. Using stock rom with lean kernel (1.7).

I kind of hate ambient display anyways so I guess I'll just wait for an update to come out
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

I'm having this exact same problem. But I'm not even rooted, all I did was unlock the bootloader, running stock 5.0.1, stock kernel, stock everything.
I've tried having the Time be set automatically, and I've tried turning that auto-set off. The display still doesn't show the correct time until I go to unlock the screen. It seems like it freezes after a few minutes no matter what, kinda like the deep sleep bug. But turning off the Automatic Time setting used to fix that...
Anybody have any idea what causes this now?

actually... it doesn't FULLY freeze... it seems to update 1 time after a set interval. I can't tell what that interval is, and it seems to change randomly, but it'll never be more than, say, an hour behind.
I wonder if there's any way to change the interval? or at least find out why it seems random?

Anybody else experience this?

huh? bootloop? you mean fix_permissions via twrp? ive been using the fix permissions app by Stericson(busybox). it works while youre still in tbe os, but does one app at a time instead of all of them at once. and it works well. btw https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.permissionfix
