Can somebody figure out how to stop the screen going into portrait when phoning, as its totally annoying when using the tab in landscape view. Worked fine with honeycomb so must be a way to prevent it happening.

I figured out this couple of days ago :
It remains in landscape mode in the following criteria :
1. Using your bluetooth connected keeps it in landscape.
2. Activating "Loud Speaker" also keeps it in landscape mode.
3. Connecting it to your ear phone also keeps it in landscape.
It only revert to portait in case you are using it directly on your ears.

I've been using it with loud speaker and it stays in portrait for me. How is it working that way for you??

It is working in these 3 modes in landscape for me as it should be, don`t really know what`s going wrong with yours.
Have you tried the ear phone or bluetooth ?
Ok thanks, I've sorted it now with the app auto speaker. Keeps it in landscape.

Was there a way to make auto speaker happen in ics or just the app I'm using autospeaker

It doesn't keep it in landscape mode when receiving a call though! Bummer

Hey... My sgs cant recognise orientation anymore( landscape vs portrait), bubble level wont work, neither do compass. What happened overnight? Didnt drop it.... Just found tons of auto-updates. Maybe one of them caused it....
Autorotate is enabled btw... Got froyo too

I had this about a month ago. A full wipe should fix it. Although I have to admit I didn't look for other solutions very much at the time.

Anyone had this one? Since 4.2, the screen momentarily goes black, with a similar transition to hitting the task manage soft key, but transiting to the left in landscape, then flicks back to normal use. Happens in apps...screws up some games, puts others into pause mode as if a task has been switched. Thought it might have had something to do with auto rotation going a bit bonkers, but not sure....
Not heard any reports...have looked through the forum, couldn't find anything.
Weird...it just did it then....but the keyboard stayed on screen, xda disappeared to the left...
Any thoughts and thanks in advance

Ok..just happened again while in portrait mode. Definitely saw it flick to landscape. Rotation is locked btw.
Hmmmmm.....

It happened to me three times last night after update to 4.2 :crying:
Ok...so, while sitting in a tedious meeting, Nexus in landscape, propped up with its folding case the screened flipped upside down and stayed upside down. 3 times. My ipad using colleague giggled.
Any way to recalibrate the tilt sensor? Or any other suggestions?
It's not the end of the world but...there must be a patch solution or other? Before 4.1 I used the auto rotate app, I forget its correct name...
Thoughts?

I used logcat to monitor the Nexus 7 until the random rotation happened. After looking at the log I realized that it was always the same process being activated and that process was nVision.
Since nVision always rotates into landscape mode I was suspicious that perhaps when it tried to update itself in the background it was changing the screen orientation. I disabled notifications and then uninstalled the app and the problem has completely gone away. I have had no random rotations at all in the last 24 hours.

Thanks very much. Ill give it a try and report back

Okie doke.
For the record.... 48 hours and no random flips to landscape and back. I'd be willing to be a substantial amount of money this was the culprit. However, whether this is a 4.2 issue per se vs. Bad behavior in nVision is an open Question.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Ok. Disabling nvision notifications still flips out. Will uninstall later.
Thanks again

Uninstall it. I still think it checks in and screws your screen, whether it shows you the notification or not.

Doesn't work for me either. Yet another disappointment with this phone.
Works just fine for me.

the default player "Video"... you must turn on the smart pause on smart screen settings.
Also, make sure there's sufficient light for the sensor to pick up your eye movement.
I finally got this pause thing to work, had to be directly under a light for it to work, so stupid! How many people watch video with a light shining on their face??

How is the phone suppose to track you when it can't see you?
Swyped from another galaxy
hmmm, the hand movement over the off-screen phone works even in a dark room. I think it uses the same camera to catch the hand.
anyway, the pause works, but as said - only in bright environment
By the way, the eye Pause works for YouTube app as well
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I hold my hand covering the camera to reset the current face when it cannot detect. I also find it hard to get it working flawlessly.

For some reason I cannot get the eye gesture to work for scrolling Web pages any suggestions? Is there a distance you have to keep your fave from the screen?

You have to tilt the phone....and just hold it like if you were watching a portrait video.....speaking of which...
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET THE WHOLE LOOK AWAY PAUSE WORKING ON THIS PHONE?!?!?!?! Since day one I've been trying to get that to work and nothing....not one single time did that damn feature work....
I hope I helped @corybucher if so hit the thanks =) lol
P.S. corybucher ........this is in the wrong section...it's supposed to go in Q&A a mod will probably move you soon
believe the look away pause feature is only for the stock video player
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
The look away or "Smart Pause" feature also works in the youtube app. It worked for me without even trying and is definitely a cool feature to show off the s4. Just make sure you enable "Smart Pause" in the settings under settings, my device, smart screen.

Just in case you weren't already aware. The "OK Google" hot word detection apparently breaks the ability to record video. It makes the camera app think your on a call. Kinda crazy. I hope it's something on the Google end and they fix it. I was using it for the last day and LOVED it!

Are you sure Google should fix this? Seems to me more like lg job (or our mod devs). The Google camera video recording works. Anyway thanks for the info!

That's odd. If you Google it there are other people complaining about it as well. Also I am using Xdabbebs modded camera app.

Downloaded Google Camera from the Play Store and it works. So, guess it's a mod problem.

I've found the issue is with on screen phone. Turn off on screen phone and OK Google hot word detection works but no video recording with stock camera app (the Google camera app will record). Turn on screen phone on and video recording works fine but OK Google hot word stops working. Very strange.

Semi on topic, but this also breaks the alarm when the phone is plugged in. The phone thinks that you are on a phone call, so it doesn't let the alarm fire with sound.

It's not strange really. Always listening makes the phone think you're in a phone call. Alarms don't go off when you're talking on the phone. This is an oversight in design.

Does the nexus have the same issue? LG phone and all. I'm guessing it's an LG issue but who knows. At least it's easy to switch between modes by turning on screen phone on or off.
