Hi,
i have new magic.
the (automatic) screen rotation doesnt work.
i have read that this could be a problem of non-root.
however i want to root my magic and could get different roms.
if i turn the magic to the left the display doent change.
trying apps like bubbles, sensor test, sensor debug, acelerator log, etc.
shows me that these apps realize a smooth rotate of the magic in all three axes.
i try the dice app. while shaking the magic with strong, i get a rotation.
but the rotation only stops when i decativate the automatic rotation (and enabling it again to test further)
does anybody know if theres a chance to edit some files with calibration data etc for the screen rotation ?
some other hints ?
i have also tried the 8-movement but no change.
i'm wondering that the apps (see above) shows a movement in all axes but the rotation doesnt work.
plz help
strange but now it works
i am sorry but now it works.
i used again the wipe rotate settings from RA Recovery 1.52G
and i start the Bubble apps and after turning it in 3 dimensional movements
i realize that bubble show the spirit level with different views.
in the past there was only one spirit-level view and the degrees (could be shown via bubble settings) doesnt reach 30 degrees in the past.
now after the wipe rotate setting and directly 3d-movements (like a 8 in 3 dimensions) the should have trained the accelerator in a new manner i have never seen before.
now screen rotations work.
believe me there is a chance to train the calibration.
( i know that calibration with the 8-movement-method was already described but i try this hundred times without a change)

Hi guys
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this bug as mentioned on the Gyrator website help page? In fact, does anyone get this bug or just a special few??
Q. When I rotate to any new orientation, the phone application pops up, or the today/manila screen appears?
A. As you'll probably know, orientation is disabled by default on the Diamond, because the HTC developers are either too incompetent, or lazy, to build applications which are orientation aware. As such, strange things happen with either Gyrator rotates the screen, or you use any other application to do the same thing.

Yes, it is a PITA. I'm using a file called "rotator-netxscale-2003-4k-v420". It brings up a box on top of other apps to change the screen around. I have it programmed to the down volume button with AEBplus. The trick is never to switch the screen orientation while in TouchFlo3D. If you start your app first then activate the above program to change the screen it is all good, if you go to the TouchFlo 3D interface...it is not a happy camper. Unlike the normal WM Today Screen, TouchFlo3D Home is allergic to landscape.
I use Gyrator2, and TouchFLO is disabled by default in the settings, preventing it from being re-oriented if the device is turned. If you do a little searching, you'll find more threads that can help you configure Gyrator2 to stop the phone app, including incoming calls, from re-orienting. Plus, you can add any app you want in the settings. One I added was the Bubble Breaker game, which would restart a new game automatically if you turned the phone...
The same thing can also be done with MobileMagic.
Just deny auto rotation to the the apps that do not like
to be rotated or that rotate them self, like Teeter.
Thanks for the info chaps but i think that there is a bug in the system which SOMETIMES pops up the phone or manilla when i rotate an app (opera or tomtom mainly) from portrait to landscape using any method (gyrator, gsen or handymenu). It seems that these apps (phone, manilla) dont like any change of orientation even when they are in the background and opera or tomtom is rotated.
I have changed the gyrator2 .ini file to make no apps rotate except the ones i want to. Not even that works........
Any more help please?

Hmmm, don´t have that Problem. Dunno why, but it works as it should.
Hi, just found a bug using gyrator on my new touch HD when typing a message in landscape mode. The dot (.) and comma (,) are inverted, so trying to type one of them gives the other as a result. Haven't yet tried without gyrator if the keybord gives the same problem, and will post it here later on.
Thanks
For some reason even though it never used to do it, my touch hd has begun to rotate the screen automatically when it's in my pocket etc.
When I press the standby button to wake it up it's usually the wrong way up now, and it's annoying having to wait a few seconds to rotate the correct way round. It never used to do this, but it would still rotate things like opera and photos etc by turning the phone and that's great.
Why would it have begun behaving like this? I have got Gyrator installed but have never set anything up on it and it's been there for ages so I doubt it's that.
Cheers!
Have you upgraded with any og the Gyrator / G-Sensor cabs?
Regardless - search for "changescreen" on the Themes/Apps/S/ware forum and use that to set programs you do not wish to rotate.
Thanks mate.
No I haven't upgraded the gyrator cab or the G sensor one (I don't think anyway....).
As I say I haven't even used gyrator as I'm not certain how to set it up and decided I didn't really need to anyway.
Have installed changescreen (cheers for the tip) and set Manila in it to only have upright portrait mode. It seems to work but not quite fully.
For instance, if I have the phone on its side (landscape) and on standby, then wake it up, it comes on in landscape.
It does then change to portrait after a couple of seconds, even if it's on its side so the software does what it should do, but that delay while it kicks in is still pretty annoying to be honest.
Is that normal with this app?
Bottom line is that the phone didn't do this until recently so there must be something that has changed and can therefore be undone, but I don't know what.
Appreciate the help.
I have been trying to find a ROM to hold onto for a while.... One thing I would really like is if it could rotate to landscape using the 'g-sensor' ? I saw some showing screen shots with landscape views, but are those using the G-sensor or are they just landscape after pushing a button or something saying like 'rotate screen' etc... ? I would like it to rotate automatically...
please advise me on this...
The easiest ways to achieve this are either run an app called Gyratur or use BSB Tweaks to achive the same result.
Both can be found on here by using the xda google search facility.
Please come back if you have any further questions.

Are there any graphical issues to be expected in landscape view?
I was looking for the same, then downloaded this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468488
You can put in exceptions and setup which apps you wont to rotate and how far to rotate. Not tried the ones mentioned above
I cant get that app to work completely for me, it does landscape sometimes and when it does everything doesnt rotate with it and/or it has a black screen
I use Gyrator 2, and haven't had an app not work in all 4 rotations yet.
I did try BsBTweak's rotate function, but it messed a few programs up (like Live Messenger, for instance).
gyrator 2 seems to work the best so far, only it is a little too sensitive -but that is customizeable I believe....
Hi everybody, i have a problem about my hd2's orientation sensor. It's not working. Screen not rotates neigder auto rotation on nor off... Is there any way to rotate screen on android?
May be a small script can be work as well, but i can't find anything...
If your using android rom it should be automatic, if not go to settings...display and check the auto-roate box
We need more details please.

I too was looking for a way to manually change screen rotation without using the g sensor however there is (as of now) no app to force screen rotation , if your g sensor is completely busted you will not be able to rotate the screen . try downloading Max protractor from the market and see if you get any feedback in that program to confirm it is the G sensor and not a bad kernel .
Orientation sensor looks like a chip, i see it when i disassemle the phone. And it was broken (physically damaged). If i can find a working one, i try to replace it. whatever...
Yesterday i find a little program, name is "Rotation Locker". It works very well for me. I suggest it...
PS: Apologize for my bad English
Hi,
I have Note 4 and i rooted my phone with no issues 8 months back. Last week all of a sudden auto rotate stopped working even though the Auto Rotate option is checked
I browse through the forum and tried some stuff but nothing worked out. Following are the basic checks i have performed
1. Restart multiple time
2. Reset cache
3. Tested all the sensors using the *#0*#. I tested the image test and while holding the screen vertical the coordinates were x=0 y=77 z=10 and the image in vertical position however when i moved the device in vertical position the coordinates we x=79 y=0 z=11 but the image stayed in the vertical position.. it didn't move to horizontal position
Surprisingly Cam seems to be the only thing working fine. Once i flip it in horizontal position, all the controls get adjusted accordingly
Clash of clans or lords automatically adjust to horizontal position and once closed screen is back to vertical
Youtube once opened in Full screen, it switches to horizontal layout
Only thing i did within last week was to remove Facebook using Titanium backup. I took the backup of all the files and removed it. I dont know if it has anything to do with the auto rotate issue. Just to roll out the possibility i restored all the files but the problem still persist
Gurus and Experts, please help
Moiz
Just to add up to the above issue, my pedometer has stopped working as well.
Surprisingly all the simulation games are working without any issue or glitches

Same thing happened to me after uninstalling FB and some other bloatware. As far as I could find out browsing the net it's related to missing shared libraries (uninstalling an app removes shared library), but it's hard to say, which file exactly. So your problem is most likely related to missing library, which is not recovered even by restoring the app from TItanium backup.
So if you don't have a full backup of the system, I'm afraid there's not much you can do to restore the function.
