[Q] Problem with screen rotation (sensor)

Hello,
I have strange issue with my Xperia Z. I used to use many android based phones, so i believe Z's behaviour is incorrect. How it works - i.e. I have my Z laying on the table, when I launch some app supporting screen rotation i.e. browser, mail etc., it automatically rotates to landscape mode. When it's in landscape mode and I am lifting it up (keeping the device in portrait position) it doesn't switch into portrait mode at all or it's very very delayed. I haven't found any calibration settings in the software, so have no idea what I can do in order to let the screen rotate smoothly after physical position change.
Quick update - both orientation sensor in portrait mode and gyroscope are giving wired results. Can it be calibrated somehow?
Any advice appreciated!
Best regards,
MCC

Dial *#*#7378423#*#* there is calibrations.
This is only available in 4.2.2

I have 4.1.2 and the menu is there - i could calibrate gyroscope, but accelerometer calibration was unsuccessful - Error Code 1.
Anyhow after calibration of gyroscope result is the same - horizontal orientation sensor is shifted to the right ;( PLS see attached screenshot.
Best regards,
MCC

I just tried it and it's good on my phone,i don't know if it's a hardware issue.
You try another firmware maybe it's a software problem and maybe if you can update to 4.2.2

By any chance the rotate problem appeard when you had asphalt 8 installed? I had this problem for over 2 months and 2 weeks ago I deleted asphalt 8 and that problem dissapeared...I think this games has some error in it that affect some phones

Sony has an app on the play store called Xperia Diagnostics. Download that and try the proximity sensor test. If it doesn't work then it's likely hardware and you should take it to a service center for replacement

I had the same problem with the screen staying active during calls but after a reboot it was fixed. For the proximity sensor, go Service menu by dialing this *#*#7378423#*#* kai calibrate it and check if that fixes it.

[Q] why my Gyroscope/accelerometer work only in portrait mode?

Hello everyone,
I have a Galaxy S Advance Gt I1970, running under Android 4.1.2 (official update). the problem is when i try to play games that require the phone sensors, for example Angry Birds Go or Frisbee Forever, the player always go to the left, but then i tried "Ridiculous Fishing" which is also a game that require sensors and it works perfectly but this game doesn't rotate the phone to the landscape mode, then i tried an application called "accelerometer test" and the result was as expected, i can control the ball when am holding the phone in portrait position bust when it's in landscape, everything is missed up. Any advice please ?
thank you

Recalibrate horizontal sensor. Only in GingerBread you can do that recalibration, because it hapened to me and downgrade and recalibration is single solution i find it.
Good luck

I had the same problem, i fix it getting my phone to samsung city point, it was a hardware problem, your rotation sensor is damaged inside i think ( for mewas this) if you calibrate it i think will change nothing.

Light and Compass Sensors Issue after 4.4.4

Hi,
I am encountering the light and compass Sensors not working after 4.4.4 update on my Z1.
I have checked the service menu and it shown no value to both the sensors... Need help to solve this... I am rooted btw..

Yes! I have had this problem for a few months now, but no-one on this forum seems to be experiencing this so I thought it might just be my phone.
The light sensor issue for me is intermittent, if I restart the phone then it would be fine for a day or two before it stops working.
The compass however simply does not register, the service menu shows no value for it and in Google Maps the arrow is always pointed North.

Sensor problem; gyro, proximity, accelerometer, compass
