Auto rotate stopped working - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else run into this? I've tried rebooting, wiping caches, and loading different roms. Hardware issue perhaps?

Perhaps give it a little time? I had that happen after accidentally flinging my phone off my bed onto the floor lol, mine was stuck in landscape mode.. A few hours later it started working fine again.

Fixed. I pulled the battery and sim card for 30 seconds.
Strange.
Thanks for the reply.

Glad you got it fixed. Maybe I'll try that if it happens again

[Q] G1 keeps restarting

my g1 keeps on restarting after i downgraded my phone to rc29 so i can root it. this never happen to me before. if i have my charger plugged into my phone, when the phone loads and passes the g1 screen onto the android screen, it'll automatically reboot itself. if my charger isnt connected. it wont reboot, it'll just turn off. i have 2 g1s and both battery are working perfectly. what am i doing wrong? i can enter to recovery mode and fast boot without any problem. DREAMIMG is installed correctly also. a little help will be great! thanks in advance
I've just ran into this myself. I am running Biffmod 2.0, went into UI settings, changed LED notification for missed call, it rebooted, changed it back, still rebooting, rebooting itself ever since. Put it on charge as I have to go out. Picked it up, missed call. Rebooting. Went into Menu to look at LED settings, still rebooting.
:/
Give up. GAME OVER.
Well, not so dramatic. Short answer for me = Hard reset. Not much on there anyway. Done too much reflashing for that.

everything is Force Closing since yesterday

hey guys, I don't know what's going on with my S7 but yesterday was working fine and out of nowhere everything started to FC! From twitter to "Google Services Framwork", Gmail, browser, tweetdeck, calendar, voice, I can't pretty much use it anymore, I haven't done any new app installations so i don't know what's wrong! is it just me, or anyone else having this problem??
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks
That has happened to me 4 or 5 times. It's like half of the device gets erased but the apps are there. Everything force closes. I end up having to erase the device and re-install everything. Reboot into recovery if you can't figure it out and format the system and data. For some reason when i do that, i keep root. Not entirely sure how that happens, but one less step for me. I think root is power and one of the volume buttons.

ha! i remember I already did that. After the Update we had, and I exchanged mine for a new one I decided to stay with no root (i don't know why! lol) so I guess I'll reset everything and go back to root I figured at the end I was gonna do that, but I was trying to see if it was just me or there was a fix
thanks man!
ok, so since yesterday I've been trying to factory reset the DS, and when it boots back on, everything stays the same!
I'm a little confused now, if I take a picture and I turn the tablet off, when I turn it back on, the picture disappears. Same thing happens if I move widgets, delete or create new ones on the screen, they go back to as the configuration was on friday night! GV not working, and the last message that shows there, same thing, shows the last one on friday. I don't know what can I do.... should I call dell??
duck tape and dynomite
stupid thing started crashing yesterday FC this and FC that ....cant restore it as i no longer have write access to the internal sd card
1) tried nv flash
2) tried restoring from clockwork
3) tried pushing files through adb
4) tried fastboot ....
if i didnt just dump money into this thing id blow it up ......
any help would be appreciated.......any tips to fix it or kill it completely so i can get another one
actually deleted all of the files on internal sd card and uninstalled every program on the device looked completly stock ....rebooted it and it went back to how it was yesterday ......theres gotta be a reason why other are having the same problem that started on the same day .....maybe dell pushed an OTA update and screwed us ......just a thought cause mine was fine till i went 4g yesterday so my sis could post facebook pics ....not sure but hope we can figure this out
Samething happened to me
Hi, did you ever find a solution? my streak 7 was ran out of battery, before it shut off, the screen started flickering and then it turned off. after it came back on, it looked like it was fine, everything looked normal, but then everything started force closing, haven't found a solution

I'm running stock, and I discovered the hard way that you can't let the S7 battery run all the way down. The S7 will not power itself down in time. I had the same issue, and the only way around it was to do a complete factory reset, using the menu button from the main screen. I think the reset is in the "About" section, but I don't have my S7 with me now.
Being used to WM6, which powers the device down at 5%, I was not expecting the device to do this, but there it is.
dell streak 7
im not sure if I am the only one with this issue you but becareful with the streak 7 mine well both of mine wont charge properly and the newest one wont charge at all. i have to send it back to dell for them to fix it. Im not sure what cause this but my only advie is to never use a different charger for it only dell chargers. Im guessing that it messes up the battery callibration and then it gets really hot when charging

[Q] Hardware key lights turn on when screen off

Hi,
I've been using the stable version of CM 10.1.3 since Christmas and have experienced no issues whatsoever, it's worked flawlessly...until today. I woke up this morning to find my phone charging as I had left it, but the hardware lights were turned on. Thinking it was odd, I turned the screen on then off again and the lights turned back off as they should. When I came back after breakfast however, they were on again! This has been happening all day; I'd check my phone and find that the lights had turned on. I can't seem to find any pattern (like always 2 minutes after screen off) and it doesn't even happen all the time - I left it for half an hour and they didn't turn on, but the next time I turned off the screen they turned on again after a few minutes.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and, if so, how did you fix it? I haven't yet done a factory reset as I was hoping someone else would have a good fix that doesn't mean I have to reconfigure everything.
I've also noted signal dropping a lot today, but after turning the phone off and reinserting the SIM card it seems to be back for good (well, an hour at least). Could this be related?
Any help would be great

This was really strange. The day after making this post I did a factory reset, which didn't help so I flashed a 4.4.2 Vanir Nightly. After a while this issue developed again on there, so I decided to change to official CM 11. The issue continued for an afternoon, but overnight it fixed itself - I haven't dropped signal or had the light issue for a few days now. I'd still like to know what the issue was though in case it happens again! Here's hoping yours fixes itself too

Help! RM3 Gamespace switch stopped working!

Hi everyone
I've been using my RM3 for a while now and done a fair amount of gaming.
Today I went to play some pubg, flick the red switch and nothing. Rebooted still nothing. Then tried wiggling it back and for a few times and it start going crazy turning Gamespace on then off about 20 times quickly on its own and now back to nothing again.
I've tried wiping and force stopping the Gamespace cache but no use.
Anyone else had a similar problem or know how to fix?
Thanks!
Whenever you switch the button on you'll see a copper insulation under the button make sure you clean it with some alcohol if it doesn't help them contact the RM3 support team

Have you ever tried to delete game space and other components? if ever ROM must be reinstalled.
or it could be because your cell phone is slammed

SM-N950F soft bricked?

Hey all! New here. I just soft bricked my phone, i woke up to it not booting. I tried various fw in Odin, but no success. This is my day to day use phone, I don't have anything else, so I'd like to make it work again ASAP, hopefully without factory reset.
Hi
what manipulation did you do to get there before flashing a lot of stuff in odin?
I've been just pressing the buttons all around, then I read about Odin, so I tried it. Now my battery died, let's see if I can get to wipe the cache...
Update: no success. Is there a way to get it into recovery? the old volume up+bixby doesn't seem to work.
Sometimes its because the recovery itself is error so that button combination is not working..
Charge your battery until full, then factory reset it with odin, let see if that works
But before you do that make sure you download correct fw that match your phone model. dont try all fw available there, make sure you download fw for SM N950F..
Well it worked and it broke again... Back to square one.
Your infos are kinda vague.
Did you modify your phone and it got triggered by user-action, or did it hit the fan by itself?
I think it was a suicide attempt, I never flashed before, only major thing was just a battery change in a samsung service last summer. It's weird, because since last time it turned on again, but seems like the wifi didn't want to communicate, plus as I look back, sometimes it restarted when I touched the wifi or some random setting. Somewhere else I read that it could be a motherboard failure.

This was happening to me too before my phone just started bootlooping to recovery
Well it's been a few months, so a little update: it still reboots sometimes all out of nowhere, but now I have a different problem: tried to log into a mcdonalds app and it says it detects a security issue. Not that i'll cry over it, but definitely interesting. Anyway, I really think this is some sort of hardware issue related to wifi, because every time it started rebooting, about one out of two times i was turning the wifi on or off. Also sometimes the wifi just wasn't available or working, strengthening my thought. As I read on other threads, this is probably some manufacturing/serial issue, that just happens to come forth after all these years. Probably the last time I bought a Samsung...
