As title says. At night the phone sits in a desk stand in landscape orientation. Alarm goes off in morning, big clock in middle of screen, digital time underneath, no buttons for snooze/stop. Unlock the phone, turn it to portrait and back to landscape, then next time it goes off the buttons are there! Anyone else had this?

Hi,
when i open my wizard to show the keyboard, i noticed that the screen is put into landscape mode just before some switch is activated.
When i fully open the screen since yesterday my right upper part of the screen seems not to work anymore. So i can not use the OK button, the sound volume, etc. My Start button is working.
Also the calendar is automatically started when i open up the keyboard.
When i put back the screen to portait mode just a tiny bit (just after the locking and before the screen goes to portrait mode) the screen starts working like it is supposed to be in landscape mode eg. all buttons are working again?
Hi,
Since I had my 8525 I have always had the comm button set to rotate the screen in landscape. I like to keep it like that and I haven't been able to figure out of to force the 8525 to staying in landscape at all times..so I just hit the button a lot.
A few minutes ago I completely reset my 8525 for the first time. I then changed the button to rotate the screen and it is now rotating it in the wrong direction.
It used to rotate the screen as if the keyboard was out, but now it is rotating the screen in the opposite direction.
Any idea why this happened or how to fix it?
Edit: I think I fixed it.
Have you checked the screen settings for the orientation setting?
how do you make it so my device remembers what mode it's in (portrait or landscape) after it sleeps and wakes up? if i switch it to landscape and it falls asleep, when i wake it up, it switches back to portrait mode. I want to keep it in that state that it fell asleep in.
OK I've had this happen to me for at least three days now and it's finally to the point where I'm posting to see if anyone else has experienced it. I use the Vega in landscape virtually all the time and because of that I lock it in that orientation. However, once or twice an hour the screen will briefly flip to portrait (power button would be on the left in that orientation) then back to landscape. It's very brief and as I said it flips back just as quickly but it's very annoying. It has happened while watching videos too which is more annoying as it takes longer than a browser to change orientation while playing.
I've tried recalibrating it, rebooting the tablet and everything short of reflashing the ROM. I'm really hoping to avoid reflashing to test it as I've finally got the screen calibrated to an almost perfect level thanks to the other calibration app on the MoDaCo forums. Has anyone else had this behaviour before? If so, have you found a fix?
I do not have your exact problem but something similar. Just now I picked mine up and screen was upside down (when the device was right side up i.e. buttons at top and right). I checked the rotation button and it was not locked. When I rotate the device it will not switch rotation at all - when I go into settings and turn off auto-rotation it flips right-side up. It seems like the accelerometer is knackered but it would seem to be working in order to flip it when auto-rotation is switched off. The daft thing is that in various screens it flips to being right side up. It boots up the right way round and the lock screen is the right way round but as soon as unlocked it flips upside down. I too have tried rebooting and all sorts - thinking of flashing it as a last resort.
I seem to have fixed this now. I use quickboot and on a whim rather using my reboot shortcut I used power off. I then used the power button to start up with the rotation lock switched on - when I turned it off once booted it was back to normal. I suspect the rotation switch bit was a red herring - I reckon the shutdown/restart fixed it.
settngs>g sensor>games mode can cause some accelerometer antics try turning on and off
What does the gsensor mode do when activated, as I haven't seen any difference?
Has anybody experienced issues with turning the screen on and having whatever app you had opened last be in landscape mode?
Like I turned the screen off with the phone in portrait,, then laid the phone down flat on its back, not on any angle,, then turn the phone on and have the screen be in landscape mode.
This has so far happened a lot on texting and messaging apps.
If I have Messenger (stock SMS) open in Portrait and shut the screen off, then rotate to Landscape and turn the screen back on, it is in portrait, but immediately switches to landscape. It is not already in landscape mode.
I generally use Tasker to lock everything into portrait and use the Quick Settings toggle to turn autorotate on if needed for an app. Games that only work in landscape will override to landscape automatically when they launch.
Yesterday, i had the messenger app stuck in landscape mode. I couldn't make it go into portrait mode no matter what i did. I'm not sure how i got it to that state, but a reboot fixed it
