[Q] Rotation lock always enabled? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have a N7 16gb C80 version running Stock rooted. My problem is I enable rotation and it works until i switch apps or press the Home button, then it locks it to portrait again. I have tried hard resetting, and even formatting system in TWRP and manually installing the 4.1.2 update, then rooting, and same. It was doing this on 4.1.1 as well, but only for about a day before the OTA came down.
Any help is appreciated, been working the google machine for a while to no avail.

No one else has experiences this?

[Q] 4.2 - location service is off

I upgraded to 4.2 today OTA. One problem I see: My Google Now weather card won't work. Instead, says "Location service is off". But I have turned everything on. Any ideas? Nothing unusual in setup. Stock, unrooted. Apex loader. I am stumped.
Thanks!

This won't help you but same happens on some 4.2 AOSP based ROMs. If i were you i'd try to flash Bigxie's 4.2 odexed stock ROM without wiping data (only cache and dalvik-cache). You'll need CWMR or TWRP recovery for this.
Mine said that as well, I just selected the card and it took me to the figure location access screen and made me then it on again. After that everything works fine. Did you force stop Google framework to force the update? I believe this is what caused it for me.

Thanks Ryan this fixed mine. I too forced the update. Tried thanking you but can't find the button.:good:
Thanks, all! I see what I goofed. I went to the screen, but went to the settings and overlooked turning it on up top.

Warning new supersu update lock the tablet

I just upgraded supersu from google play. After a reboot, the tablet locks after about 20 seconds or so. After that it is impossible to access anything. The tablet then reboot. The only pudate I did was supersu
It took me few tries to be able to access the settings and remove the update before the tablet locks.
Now it seems to work again without problem.
Don't update until the problem is solved
Mod if this should be placed in another forum feel free to move it

Well the only thing I did was removing the update to supersu.

Be worth reading Google Play comments before drawing any conclusions .

FWIW, I had the same issue, too. I'll also keep looking into it.
Also getting that request for "dumpstate", too.

I have looked further into the problem, it seems that the new supersu may not play well with some apps that request root access. I had avast anti theft software which required root. I uninstalled it reapplied supersu update and it is working. Also avast keep on giving me error even after the downgrade of supersu.
Like you I had the request for dumstate.
Finally I have avast on my galaxy nexus and the new supersu and no problem at all.
So as of now on the tablet I cannot have both (avast and new supersu) together

A friend of mine having the same issue with N7000.
How did you manage to uninstall update before getting stucked.
Same Issue here. Stucked after reboot after SU Binary update.
Managed to run "top" in adb shell which shows me that /system/xbin/su runs to many times......
no problem here on 5 devices

Restart the tablet as soon as you are on the lock screen tap status bar , tap settings, tap applications scroll to supersu and uninstall upday tap ok. You have to do it as fast as possible before 5he tablet locks... I had to do it a dozen times before succeeding
Good luck

This happened to me as well...had to race to SuperSU/settings and changed Default Access from Prompt to Grant and it stopped locking up...couple of reboots then and reset access on your apps after it completely reboots and settles down.....
I had this issue yesterday after installing ROM Android Revolution HD. I thought it was a problem with rom and returned to stock. But on stock I updated it and have no problems.
There's a new update with some bug fixes out. I don't know if it fixes your problem since I did not have it.

[Q] Launcher not working after 4.2.2 update

Hi guys, I just updated my nexus 10 stock and not rooted or anything to 4.2.2. However it's now stuck saying that launcher has stopped, every time i click ok at just loops leaving it unusable. I managed to get into the setting though notifications and tried wiping all data from launcher but still not working. So has the update not installed properly or is it something else cause i'm stuck on how to fix this?
Either do a factory reset or use adb to sideload another launcher.

[Q] Upgraded 4.3. Home button and screen unlock stopped working

My nexus 7 is unlocked/rooted and I applied the 4.3 update (the method that does not wipe your system). Now, my home button stopped working, it clicks and makes a noise but doesn't do anything. It happens with all of the apps and system stuff. Also, when I turn the device on, the sliding unlock screen is gone. I tried to disable it and re-enable it to no avail. I tried booting into recovery and wiping data/dalvik with no luck. I tried searching the forums and the googles but couldn't find anyone with a similar problem.
Any suggestions that would save me from wiping the system? Thanks

In my case, home button does work after 4.3 update, but the facelock does not work, but other kinds of screen locks does work.
Guys i am having the same problem. Is there ANY way we could solve this without wiping our devices?
It would be A LOT of hassle for me if i wipe.
I'd be grateful for any assistance
Thanks
EDIT: NVM, i went through the hassle and WIPED the device. Its working fine now.
I tried everything, but wound up having to do a flash-all. Works fine now.

softkeys don't works

Now soft keys no longer work. Not a problem of the screen as the screen unlock screen phone keys, unlocking and camera work perfectly well how they work by placing the phone in landscape mode. the touch screen at the bottom works with all applications and games so it must be some upgrading of some application google. Would you be able to help me please? OS 5.1.1 Lollipop stock, but before returning stock was also with me always root Android 5.5.1 L. I did a factory reset and I deleted all data from the N4 including wipe cash and all data from recovery. I do not know what to do ...
Can you reflash the system partition with a fresh copy from the stock image through fastboot and see what happens?
