Hi guys. so even though rotation is enabled for lockscreen, it stays in portrait mode. home rotation is fine.
it works on first login after restart, and then stops working.
anybody has this issue?
I had a similar issue once.. Not sure what caused it but was playing with using bixby routines to prevent rotation on front screen in that time frame and ended up loosing rotation on inner no matter what it was set to. It was a PIA to get cleared as jumped around alot looking for answers but believe I ended up turning off rotation, clearing data sets in bixby routines and clearing dalvik/cache in recovery. After that enabling rotation again worked on both and allowed me to add back the routine without issue. Can't say for sure that will work for you but was part of the path I took to resolve my issue. Hope iot helps.

thanks for the answer. for now it seems uninstalling goodlock and all related tweaks including multistar + clearing dalvik cache and using third party wallpapers with 1x1 ratio helped! I don't know what is causing the problem but just doing one of these steps alone doesn't work for me!
btw I just realized I posted this in the wrong subforum. appreciate it if moderators move it to Q&A. thanks.

Auto Rotate Stopped Working
Me too, my auto rotate has stopped working as of this morning.
I havn't installed anything for a few days, and it was working fine yesterday.
I havn't dropped it either.
Running Stock Optus Rom with Voodoo Lag Fix Beta 4.
Any one got any ideas, I am going to try a hard reset, followed by warranty.
Have you tried to turn it off then turn it on?
Maby a restart between it.

Hard Reset did the trick
Tried turning it on and off and re-starting between but nothing seemed to fix it.
Also un-installed any widgets that controlled it.
I ended up hard reseting, that fixed it. In the process of re-installing everything again.
Hopefully not going to experience this again. Thanks for your input DamianGto
I had that problem too, well wasn't really a problem once I got to know my JPK rom.
Scroll down the notification tab and turn on auto rotation. Dunno if 2.1 has AR in notification tab tho, maybe its just a 2.2 thing.

So you only had this feature disabled. The problem is that sometimes auto rotate feature stops working and all you can do is to do a factory reset.
before you do the factory reset you should really try the On/Off switch widgets
here is a good set of On/Off switches

Do you really think I reseted the phone without checking whether auto rotate is on or off?
I tried settings/sound & display/Orientation, I tried the auto rotate widgets, and I uninstalled the widgets. None of this helped, which is why I had to hard reset.
I use the auto rotate widgets every night, I turn auto rotate off while I am in bed so I can still see the screen in a portrait fashion. I actually use locale to turn on and off certain settings like screen brightness, sound volumes and auto rotate based on conditions like - between 10pm & 6am, on any day of the week, when the charger is plugged in activate night profile.
I have reinstalled most of the apps I was using previously, and the auto rotate is still functioning correctly.
It seems that the function stops working for no good reason; and what's worse, the problem is not reproducible i.e. exactly the same configuration works after resetting the phone.
Auto Rotation not working/solved
I've currently updated my galaxy s to xxjpy ,darkys rom 2.2.1 (Highly reccomended) , I had exactly the same issue with the rotation not working and put it down to the custom Rom , after a few days of trying to sort it out i finally gave up and did a hard reset using sgs tools, now sorted , i can only assume it was something i downloaded from the market that caused this , only downside is everything is deleted from the phone so MAKE A BACKUP, hope this helps
It worked when I first booted up. After a few hours it quit. I did a factory reset, and the same thing happened. I then went through my running apps and turned them off until none were running except the system apps. Still didn't work.
Anyone else have this happen that can suggest a fix? If I have to reset and install apps one by one, how do I do that, since on signing into Google the apps auto load

To fix auto load, you can change the system setting to not backup apps; it's in Settings > Backup & reset. I thought upon initial Google account sign in you could switch that setting off too, and that prevents the apps from auto-installing. I have backup turned off because on previous devices and versions of Android it was contributing to battery drain.

I did what you suggested, adding single apps and confirming the ambient function worked. Found an app that seemed to be the cause, and upon uninstalling it the ambient function came on line. However, about a half hour later, it stopped working again. Spent over an hour on the phone with Moto, and they figured out that ambient doesn't respond unless the phone has been asleep more than 10 seconds. That seemed to work for me. So I did my 4th reset/install of the day, and again, it worked for a while, even with all my apps (including the one that seemed to be the cause in the first place). And then, it stopped again.
I searched, and one suggestion was that ambient won't work unless you have a locked screen. I usually don't use a lock, but what the hey, I'll try it. Set up a pattern unlock and (wait for it.........).
Nope.
I'm stumped.......
Mine seems to stop displaying the ambient as well. It will display a few times initially and then stops. I don't know if it extends its sleep period after every interval or not. Also seems like if you lift up your phone to look at your ambient notifications, that disables any repeat display too
I know there's got to be some setting turned on that is preventing me from toggling the apps in Device Administrator because whenever I go to it, I can see the full list, and when I attempt to toggle one of them on or off, settings crashes and locks the phone. I have two apps that have been toggled on, so somehow I was given the ability to do it before this hard to find setting was turned on preventing me from toggling any more apps....
Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

I was getting the exact same issue on my S8+ yesterday. Do you perhaps have the latest/beta version of Call Recorder by SKVALEX installed? With my issue at least, I think it was down to that app, well a conflict between the two versions I had on the phone. May have been coincidence and could have been unrelated of course but removing both (old and beta) then just installing the latest beta sorted the issue, or t least the issue went away at the same time...

Not, I don't have that app nor do I think this is AN app preventing me from adjusting Device Administrator toggles
I Had the same problem in my note 7, only thing I could do was a reset all app settings, that solved the issue
At some point after upgrading to Android 9 I started having the following issue where if the screen turns off due to inactivity and I turn it back on by pressing the power button, I see whatever screen I had open before it went to sleep but it's frozen. Scrolling touching etc still perform (invisible) actions but the screen is frozen until I either press the app switch button or perform some action that would change the current application. While the screen is frozen the drawer from the top works just fine. Also when the app that gets frozen is the desktop (I'm using the default launcher), I can see the background scrolling if I swipe left or right but the widgets don't change, they are frozen.
Does anyone else have the same problem? Any ideas what could be causing it?

FWIW I have not really solved the problem but I am circumventing it by having the screen lock immediately instead of waiting 5 minutes. That way I have to unlock with a fingerprint every time the screen is off, and unlocking refreshes the screen which "fixes" the problem.

There were lot of reports of glitchy phones after the Pie update.
The cure was a factory reset or software repair with Xperia Companion
Use Xperia Transfer to back up your calls/contacts/texts before you reset the phone

Can you please link a thread, where users told, that problem is solved after reset?
I have the same frozen display (since Android Pie), when turning display off and on again.
Don´t wish to reset and install all again, if that does not help.
bye,
Ralf

Hi Ralf,
the phone will always work better with a reset after a major update, all the Oreo applications are trying to work under Pie. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Oreo apps aren't made to work under Pie and they can error.
here, is one example, or another, but I didn't jump to Pie because of all the negative feedback and the scores of people trying to downgrade.
A reset will fix your problem and if you use Xperia transfer then the amount of personal information lost will be minimal.
Thanks for the links.

This sounds to me, the combination of "old" Navi-apps with Pie is the problem. May be only with Pie on some Sonys.
I'm afraid, a reset will not change the frozen display.
All other apps till now do not freeze after display-on except MagicEarth and Osmand+
This 2 apps i deinstalled (+ deleting the data) and installed again.

Xperia transfer shows me only 2 apps for backup.
I'll probably try a reset in the next few days anyway.

Looks like there is know issue with the Osmand+, the date of the post is may last year, but it may just be a 'feature'
When backing up with Xperia transfer, make sure you select all the boxes that are optional. It's things like text messages/contacts/phone history that are useful after a reset. Some apps can't be moved and have to be downloaded directly from the playstore, but Google should give you that option, after you log back in to the wiped phone.
Edit: I can recomend Sygic, free maps for one country, works without data.
In the meantime, I found more users with this problem and a little solution that another user describes:
I can confirm I have the exact same issue since Android 9 with my Xperia xz1 compact.
I normally have no lockscreen options set. So when I wakeup the Phone, it sometimes kind of 'locks' the screen. Widgets do not respond, I cannot switch home screens. The time on the status bar remains correct. If I then click on an app and go back, everythning behaves normally.
So I'm quite sure this must be a software issue, as other people have this problem to.
My workaround for now is to have a lockscreen option aktive. But I would rather have not, for conveniance.
I tested this also with safe mode and complete factory reset of the phone. The 'bug' is still there.

If I disable lockscreen, then apps stop when it is switched on again. However, I always have to enter pin or use fingerprint sensor, or smart lock.
This often does not work when cycling and is dangerous when cardriving.
On Android 8, the lockscreen did not need to be active.
So the problem is not Osmand and MagicEarth.
It is a Sony 9 bug with Android 9.
bye,
Ralf
Found in an other forum an easy method to reproduce the problem.
disable the screen lock (it must be set to "None");
lock the phone and then unlock it;
lock and unlock it again.

Because I believe that Sony will not fix the error, I could imagine a solution:
An app (possibly tasker), which puts a selectable running app from foreground while pressing the power button in the background and immediately brings it back to the foreground.
Does anyone know such a tool?

So, did you ever find a solution?
Hey all, anyone having the DND settings force closing?
I can turn it on and off (which is enough really), but trying to set it up, like on a schedule and such just force closes the settings.
I see quite a few threads about this on many Samsung phones over the Internet, and of course no "solution" really works, and I'm afraid I'll have to do a full reset.
I'm pretty sure it's an app or app update interfering but really cannot put my finger on it.
(I tried to clear cache and also delete data from Settings app, of course).
Any extra suggestions, just in case?
I had this after restoring data when setting up the phone
I ended up resetting the phone again and starting fresh with no restore and everything seems to be working now

Damn, that makes sense.
I trully don't use DND that way, so I'll be lazy about this lol.
Just it triggers my anal senses ^^
Thanks so much for your help! I'll try this sometime
