Hi,
I have that rotating "please wait" thing on the today screen, and it won't go away... I only changed some meter icons for iLauncher, what could be the problem? (soft reset doesn't solve it)
have u tried aligning ur screen?
strange, it went away by itself. I like self-repairing devices
well...i have similiar weird problem with my wizard as well. i dont have ilauncher installed but whenever i receive call, the screen will switch on and start with landscape mode. i need to wait for a few second before it switch back to potrait and then only i can answer the call. i always keep by keyboard slide in btw.
anyway facing this as well>

Are you using the supplied case with a magnetic clasp? Since a magnet in the phone is used to tell the hardware that the keyboard is opened many users have reported that simply removing their device from the OEM case has caused this. This is documented over and over again in the forums.
yes. i m using the case.
thank for the info
Guys,
First off - Way to go Mods - its great to have a TyTN only forum at last!
Ok my problem is -
When i 'awake' my TyTN, the screen is sometimes in landscape mode, even though the device has teh keyboard shut and is being used in the portrait mode.
Is this a part of teh infamous alignment bug? And does anyone know of a fix?
ptm
As far as I know, this seems to happen when the device is being used with the case. It seems that the magnet in the belt clip makes the phone go to landscape.

aaah....now that would make sense. it seems to have started when I used the case.
I like using a case. Are there any recommendations for adecent replacement?
Thanks for helping out fella!
Been using the case since got the phone.
Sometimes it does indeed be in landscape mode when I take
it out, but it always reset to portrait mode as soon as I get it out.
Happens to me too.

Hello everyone,
I've been having this problem ever since I bought my phone 6 weeks ago.
I'm currently running XXUBMEA rooted stock ROM. And I've had this bug even before updating.
I searched the forums here but couldn't find anyone complaining about it, although I know a friend or mine who has the phone and is also facing it.
Sometimes the Lock-screen appears for a split second, during that, the brightness also goes to max. If it happens while I'm typing somewhere, the keyboard disappears, and I have to tap on the text box to make it appear again.
Also, sometimes it happens when I'm playing a game in landscape mode, the screen rotates to portrait just less than a second, and returns to normal.
It's very annoying, it happens to me daily, I'd say about 5-7 times.
Anyone else facing this?
Hi
I've just enabled the Daydream function but even though it works in both portrait & lanscape when previewing the various options, when I've actually chosen one and plugged it into my charger, it will only function in portrait mode. Is this a bug on my phone or what?
Thx
**Bump** .....No-one else got this problem then??
After more searching on this, I see I'm not the only one with this problem, and it is in fact, a bit of a bug(ger)....
On my Nexus 7 it rotates in landscape mode too...but not on my S4
I have to start Daydream first and put it into landscape mode before plugging in my power connector...it then works OK.
It's been moaned about on various forums etc since last year....but it still hasn't been rectified!
Anyone have any problems with this? Sometimes it will get stuck in landscape. I'll have to go from portrait back to landscape to get it to rotate back to portrait
To narrow it down if I lock the phone in landscape the unlock it via fingerprint sensor it happens

it sometimes happens. And also another odd issue i noticed was then you are listening to music or watching videos in landscape and you rotate your phone 180 degrees upside down, the audio will stop for a split second and resumes. Is this a software flaw??

No. It's the dual speakers. When the screen rotates the audio swaps speakers.... Because there channeled to a left and right speaker

Yes, I've noticed the same. I wonder if the bug has already been submitted.
I can also confirm that it has happened on mine as well. It happens sometimes when I wake the phone.
Yes... I've been having the same issue. Doesn't happen too often, but it is rather annoying. Seems if I just rotate the device about 3/4 of a turn it will go back to normal. I thought maybe it was a faulty accelerometer, but hopefully it's just a software bug that will be fixed sooner or later.
Same here. Does not want to come back to portrait, needs to go to landscape shake to go back to normal...

My Nexus 6P will not go into reverse portrait orientation at all - only portrait, landscape, and reverse landscape. I have to use a third-party app to achieve reverse portrait orientation.

I was able to fix this using GravityBox, in case anyone is interested.

Same problem here, how did you fix it with GravityBox, pls!
+1 for this issue. Sometimes, when I launch a game its stuck in potrait mode. Only way to fix it is to exit the game rotate the screen to Landscape and relaunch it.
xdaniel91: There's a setting under "Display tweaks" called "Allow all rotations." I just checked the box next to this setting. I might have had to reboot.
Cataclysm has a similar setting under "Miscellaneous" called "Upside-down rotation."
Hello guys, what worked for me yesterday, it was letting fall down the phone against the asphalt by accident when i was getting out from the car. LOL
Some other people suggested a strong shock/hit as a fix in a google nexus forum, i cant attach the link yet.
I've been following this issue closely as I was impacted by it as well.
Here's the link to the Nexus Help forum:

Here's a video I made of the issue:

Lol sounds wrong but i did fix mine, i dropped my phone today from like 2cm high and my rotation stopped working...came to this thread and read your advice, dropped it again from like 1 cm height and my rotation started working again....so thanks!

Holy crap, that worked. My phone fell about 6 inches onto hard tile. Then auto rotate stopped working. I just tapped the phone on different corners on the same hard tile, and it's rotating again.

There's a tiny gyroscope chip on the main board. Contained inside it is a plate (critical mass) with contacts underneath that moves/slides on top of the chip's contacts. When you rotate the phone, the plate actually moves inside the tiny chip, and from there the x,y,z axis is calculated. In my best hillbilly mechanic voice "yer plate got stuck".

Mine has been getting stuck but dont think its the plate. Of course it began happening when I switched rom, flashed new bootloader, vendor AND started using a new launcher.
Fairly confident its not the launcher because no one else is complaining. Hitting/dropping the phone doesnt fix it but toggling auto rotate does. Ive tried every variation of set rotations in the settings of the rom and launcher but this has persisted over a week. Whats frustrating is itll go hours without the glitch (thinking its fixed) then it gets stuck in landscape.
Thats my boring story. If anyone has a fix please share. Thanks
