Rotation Broken?

My screen rotation has stopped. It remains on portrait.
I'm guessing I need to exchange the phone.
Any other thoughts or suggestions?
Oh, I'm on the Froyo Beta 2.8.1 of Design Gears'. Been on it for a few days, so I doubt that has anything to do with it.

i hope you have tried pulling down the notifications, and enable auto rotation, or checked it out in the settings....! ! !

Thanks for the suggestiong, but yes, of course Including power off, pull battery reboot; look in several other programs that may fiddle wiht it.
Later, I did one-click back to orig ROM, and it still did it. Went to a 4 hour meeting and after that it works
What I'm afraid will happen now is it will work until my 30 days are up and quit again.

youre lucky that you were able to flash back! my phone did the same thing only when it was stuck in portrait mode I lost all ability to interface via usb... so I was stuck until android magicaly fixed itself today. My phone was stuck like that for 4 days.

Well, I'm back to no rotation, and Screeble is showing as Phone Idle.
I am beginning to think that the sensors on the phone are going out.

I went through the same thing with Assonance. Fixed by installing launcher pro, then recalibrate in display settings, then uninstall launcher pro. I used launcher pro because it has its own screen rotate setting that reset the phones. Give it a try.

Pretty much immediately after posting, I decided to reload my ROM. That fixed it. This happened immediately after doing some software upgrades from the market. Apparently software can screw it up. Or a botched upgrade.

Well, my rotation is broken once again. This is becoming a bit frustrating.
There were 6 apps that updated last night. I'm not sure why/how an app could break rotation. I can toggle it on and off, but the sensor is not working.
I guess I will once again restore to stock, rflash, etc, and see if it comes back. If its the hardware, I wish it would just quite once and for all, and I'd hvae the phone replaced.

This is gonna help so much but that sux

[Q] nightly crashes/reboots?

does the incredible s reboot nightly for anyone?
My wife tells me that every night the phones light shines very brightly all of a sudden and it it either makes a sound or vibrates. I am a sound sleeper so I don't wake up.
This morning I noticed that there is a notification telling me if I want to send the report to HTC for the system crash. And I think I've seen this every day, but I just didn't pay attention to it.
So could the phone be crashing or rebooting every night?

I haven't heard of it before ... not that i can recall at least.
It sounds like that is exactly what is happening, the bright light, the sound, the vibrate... and of course the crash report.. lol...
it is quite odd for it to happen only during the nights though, seems like some event at a particular time triggers it
First try:
Try uninstalling a few apps which could be doing this, for example some app that is set to go off or update ( a weather app or location app for example ) at certain intervals of time.
Last shot:
i would back up all my data and do a factor reset or even better an update to 2.3 if ur not already on it!
P.S ... sorry i cant think of another solution at this point of time maybe some other members can help !

I had GPS turned off last night. Tonight I am going to turn off autosync. Then the next night I'll look into weather. I sorta wish there was an app that would just turn my phone off each night at a certain time.
I'm not sure I can upgrade to gingerbread. I have asia (708) phone. And I'm not convinced the gold card trick for the wwe version works. I figure I can just wait a month for the OTA.

Do you have a management app with a night profile turned on lile juice defender?

Last night I had installed "Night Mode" app. Didn't really work as far as stopping the bright lights. And I don't think its the cause, since I've noticed this several nights in a row. I'll look into juice defender.

I had my fair share of random reboots, however, not nightly
I almost wanted to sent the phone back to HTC, but due to tight travelling schedules, I couldn't.
I tried a couple of things, but I think the action that made all the difference was formatting the SD card with the phone
Maybe you can give it a shot... but please backup all your current data on the SD card first, or use another card
Good luck
PS: Gold card trick worked fine for me... Singapore purchased IS

Disable/uninstall all powermanagers and task managers. Like juice defender and others.
SD card format could work, but its to timed I guess.
If you are charging overnight, use the charger u got with your phone and make sure it has some space so you don't overheat.
After that and nothing works, a factory reset is one of your only options...

Keep trying ... if nothing works out, just factory reset to get rid of it permanently, after taking a back up....

I had a few but non since i upgraded to 2.3.

Hi,
I encounter the same problem and is not happening during the night, it happens just any time. I have no Juice Defender anymore and it was upgraded to 2.3...Still it happens, seldom...
Any more ideas where to look?
Thanks

The past couple of nights it has not happened. Each night I make sure to turn off auto synchronization. I am going to try a few more things.... But for now it looks like some app is trying to synchronization and causing the reboot.

Not getting notifications

So prior to update i'm pretty sure i was not having this issue.
Now, i'm updated and have not been getting my notifications.
What i have done to see if the issue can be fixed
-reset my phone
-reset the watch
-factory reset watch
-re-install app
After i do some of the steps above it will work but then eventually goes back to the same ole crap of not working. I'm getting a little irritated....
Thoughts?

Nobody?

Try to uninstall any non Wear app, reset and see what it does "clean". I had similar problems any time I used none Wear stuff. It works OK now with only Instaweather and Battery Wear installed. Mini Wear Launcher seems particularly difficult [emoji19]

So are you saying that the mini wear launcher causes issues?

Possibly... Mine works fine without and other threads also mention that they have problems with it. With all the respect for the developers, everything before the 5.0.1 update were more or less hacks because Google never published a developer kit until a few days ago. They all have to update their apps now this kit is available.

Well, i think its a software issue so i am going to do process of elimination by starting to delete apps to see if one makes it stop.
Deleted:
-Rain Alarm: Still drops notifications
-Facer: Pending.......

I would proceed the other way around. Start clean to see if it's really a buggy apps that causes the fault. If yes then install one after the other to find the culprit...

I am now, nothing on it now. Gonna add something every 24 hours to see what happens.

Fingers crossed [emoji6]

Here should be the fix to this:
Go to your phone's settings, on my Nexus 6 there is a notification tab, you go to whatever your's is called, and find the checkbox to enable notifications to your android wear app. Hope this helps! Feel free to give me thanks.

[APP] S2W Phone Call Disabler

S2W Phone Call Disabler
If you have sweep2wake enabled, you may notice the touchscreen is active while the screen is blanked during phone calls. This app will disable sweep2wake and doubletap2wake during phone calls and re-enable them with your previous settings after the call is finished. I couldn't find a way to do it reliably in the kernel, so I made this companion app. It will work with any Nexus 6 kernel that has sweep2wake.
It requires no configuration, just install it, and run it once. After that, it will automatically work, even after rebooting.
There is one option in the app. Since this app only needs to be opened once, you can click a check box that will remove this app from your app drawer. If you change your mind and want it back in the app drawer, you will have to uninstall and reinstall the app.
This app shouldn't use many resources. It runs an intent service when the phone state changes. That means the app wakes up, does its thing, and then stops itself. In other words, it is not always running in the background.
This app requires root!

Many thanks to those who have donated!

Thanks wanted to run your kernel but kept having issues in call.

My so glad to be able to run your kernel been with Vzw m8 for last year... an this app has worked great for me all day. An also I just wanted to throw out I'm on .24 an having zero call issues

3rd!

Works great thanks man

This issue bugs the crap out of me. I'm testing now. Thanks flar.

I assume it's working good for everyone?

Working good for me I think I've had maybe 1 or 2 instances where the wake gestures didn't turn back on after a phone call, but it was probably just a fluke.

Keep an eye on that and try to remember the exact sequence of events where it's not coming back. I don't talk on the phone much so it doesn't get much real world testing.

You have no idea. This app is pure genius.

Not sure why but my copy doesn't have the option yo hide from the app drawer.

Great idea for this app, I'm surprised that there isn't greater call for it, or maybe I'm alone in having major screen issues when in a call with 2t2w enabled.
My issue is that it never turns double tap back on after a call. I'm using LK with it set up through lkconfig. Anyone know a solution to this? Thanks

In fact I've experienced the same once or twice with ElementalX Kernel. I'm going to observe if it is happening again on my next call.
Edit: Tried it twice, no problems, so false Alarm. Everything working as it should be!

Thanks for the app, Flar2! I wrote a guide for this on my website (here), and also made a video tutorial:

Yeah it's been happening a few times over the last couple days, but nothing major.

Great!
Works perfectly, and removed from the app drawer. Screen is completely unresponsive (as it should be) when on a call with the prox sensor covered.
Thanks for this!

Hey @flar2 ... I think I may have found a sequence that keeps disabling dt2w and s2w. It seems if I get a call and swipe to ignore the call within a second or two that it's disabling those two features, they only come back on after I re-enable them in your ElementalX app.

Mine had issues when I first upgraded to nougat with mirroring but it magically fixed itself lol
Only thing I've noticed is even with Auto rightness off the screen still dims itself ever so slightly when you leave a lighted area and go to a darker area, I'm assuming it's the blue light filter....Even though I have that option turned off.

Only issue I've had is a daily "Android System has stopped" popup, but it's pretty uneventful. Nothing crashes, phone doesn't restart. Just hit "ok" and go about my business. I assume it's related to the disabled package list I've carried over from MM.

Hi Norbarb,
Last weekend, I was on QA4 then I Odin'd back to APK1 and took the Official ATT OTA update to Nougat 7.0.
I just tested screen mirroring and it worked without any problems. Sorry, I don't have a Samsung BluRay to test.
Now the issue that I've been having is reboots. In the beginning, when I was first on N7.0 I had no problems whatsoever for a few days.
- On Feb. 20th, I kept getting a message that one of my apps unexpectedly closed. Now this app is old and wasn't even supported on MM (it's called Webcams widget) but it had worked flawlessly on MM and Nougat QA4.
- Then on Feb. 21st I had a couple of reboots happen, I went into a solid Bootloop that started in the afternoon and kept rebooting for around 10-15 times! It stopped long enough for me to actually Power Off my S7E down in the normal manner and I left it that way for around 5 minutes.
- I searched for solutions and finally ended up clearing the Cache Partition like this:
Wipe cache partition
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up key, Home key, and Power key at the same time.
When the phone powers on, the Android System Recovery screen appears approx. 30 seconds later.
Release all of the keys.
Press the Volume down key to highlight "wipe cache partition."
Press the Power key to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight “yes” and press thePower key to select.
When the wipe cache partition is complete, “Reboot system now” is highlighted.
Press the Power key to restart the device.
My phone went without a reboot for almost 2 days then yesterday afternoon I had one single reboot. My next test (if needed) will be to clear each app cache/data. Unless it gets really, really bad again, only then will I resort to a complete reset.
The only difference between using my phone on the official QA6 and the sideloaded QA4 is that I had turned off auto-updating for my Play Store apps when on QA4 (and earlier). I had a lot of updates occur when updating to QA6.
Doing more research today, I found an article talking about some common Nougat problems and possible fixes here.

Did you preform factory reset ?
It help me with lot of problems. Just make backup using Samsung Cloud and after factory reset using restore from Samsung cloud you will have 97% all of you settings and apps back. It is wort to do it.

Actually I just took a guess and re-enabled com.qualcomm.atfwd. I don't have a wifi display BUT I haven't gotten "Android System has stopped" since I turned it back on. This was never an issue on MM. If it happens again I'll try a few more packages related to Android System before a factory reset.

Package Disabler Pro. It's the only one that currently works in Nougat as far as I know.

I switched to OnePlus 3T today, and here are few observations guys...
Compared to Nougat on S7E... different level of speed and responsiveness, way different.
I used CM and AOSP roms in the past, on different phones, I know they fast, but this... speed demon out of the box, with MM or Nougat.
Feel bad for leaving S7E forums, but believe me guys, it is a flagship killer indeed. Unbelievable.
I will go back to Sammy with S8 only if they will be able to keep up with this kind of speed, plain and simple.
I was hoping with every generation that Sammy will get rid of touchwiz lags... new phones and new chipsets were piling up, but it never changed, unfortunately.
Touch wiz nougat is a bloody mess next to 3T nougat...
Yes yes, I know. But I never used edge panels... or OOD that much.
Peace out guys!

Hello. My first post here. I have been lurking & reading for years.
I have a few of the minor issues that others have, like the colors will be washed out sometimes, pull down notifications are a bit harder to read. My main issue with this update is that my recently used apps will randomly close when the screen is locked & only keep 4 or 5 open. I want them to all stay open & I close the ones I no longer need. That is why I got this phone in the first place. Now apps that I need to go back to later & continue working are gone. Very annoying. I assumed it was a new performance setting activated without any explanation of how it will affect normal usage. I can't find where to change that particular setting, if it is changeable at all now.

Thanks for the tip. I tried that a few times. No change. Even added frequently used apps to be unmonitored. It is still closing all recently used apps, except the last 4 or 5. I just now turned off the app power monitor completely. It didn't change the estimated battery life hardly any. We'll see how that goes for a while.
