[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.

Compass sensor and GPS satellite not work

Hi guys,
I've just discovered that compass sensor on my Xperia Z1 (LB) does not working. I can't event calibrate it by using service menu, all the index (Yaw, Pitch, Roll) is empty.
Also with my GPS sensor, when I run the test, it just says "Waiting for location update" like forever.
I tried stock rom but didn't get any luck.
Is there any one here experience the same issue?? Help me please !!!
Thanks in advance.
