autorotate on the home screen doesnt work in 4.2+ if thats what you are referring to, not on stock at least. some custom roms reenabled it.

Been on 4.21 for a couple of days and it worked just fine on my homescreen until two hours ago.
Edit : autorotation does not work on home screen above 4.2. I remembered wrong. But that is not my problem ...
But that aside - autorotate doesn`t work at all..

[Q] G-Sensor not working Help

Hi all,
I have had my Vega for two weeks now and my G-Sensor has stopped working. I am currently running Fuji-Vega Modded Rom based on Modaco Rom v0.7.
I have put back the original rom back on from the Vega website Version 1.10 but the G-Sensor still done not work.
How can I check if there is a problem with the hardware before I take to back PC World/Currys.
Many Thanks
Pav
Hi PavSingh!
I also have the same problem, the gsensor stoped working. No screen rotation and also the games doesn`t works.
I have Corvus5 with SP1.
Someone have the same problem? how can i fix it?
Thanks
Have you tried a reboot. I have had this a couple of times and a reboot has fixed it
yes, I also wipe and reinstall corvus5 and corvus5sp1 and the accelerometer doesn`t work
I am starting to think that something on the sensor is broken
Thanks
try to move the switch on top of the tablet...
Ok thanks a lot. The problem was that switch, i think that switch is to lock the buttons not to lock the gsensor. The kids have been playing with it and the have changed the switch.
Thanks a lot.

[Q] Auto Screen Rotation went dead

Hello all,
My Iconia A500's auto screen rotation just suddenly went dead on me. Flipping the lock toggle near the volume buttons on and off doesn't do anything.
I've tried resetting the device via the reset button, factory reset it via the settings menu as well as the recovery menu (oh yeah, it's rooted, currently using thor's CW recovery v.1.5). I've also tried installing another ROM, deleting the cache partition and dalvik cache, fix permission, all to no avail.
I don't think its faulty gyro since I can still play NFS just fine. Its just refusing to auto rotate the screen.
Any of you guys ever experience this? Or maybe have any ideas I can try out ?
Thanks in advance!
hello, are you using thor ROM?

I did, just to see if it can fix the issue (the auto rotation went dead while i used a rooted stock rom). why?
Oh, I'm aware that Thor's newest ROM doesnt support the hardware autorotation toggle. I've tried the software toggle without any effect.

No issue here on 4.2.2 stock not rooted, try wiping the cache or if that doesn`t help do a data factory reset.

I am also facing similar issue after i upgraded from 4.4 to 5.0 through Odin. My phone is 32 GB, running BTU/UK unbranded firmware. I rooted it to resolve the issue and tried some fixes like Editing ro.securestorage=true, changed it to ro.securestorage=false but it didn't work. Please help.

Hi, thank you for the reply. I did some work on the device and flashed CM 12.1 via TWRP. Wifi worked good in it but I missed S Pen & S health (S Pen Helper Add-On wasn't good in CM 12.1). Hence, i searched about downgrading to 4.4 KitKat only to get back wifi and Stylus both. I have been partially successful in my effort i.e. I have flashed BTU firmware 4.4. and got the Stylus back but wifi problem persists. The wifi button simply does not turn on. It's different from the problem most people face regarding not scanning particular router or forgetting passwords etc. I am just trying to explain so that you guide me to the specific solution. I have tried short code *#0011# and turned OFF power save mode too but it didn't fix either. I liked the CM 12.1 but the trade off with Stylus was not in my favour therefore I had to revert to Stock ROM. So the current state of my device is shown in screenshots attached. Please help!

Tried both the applications. Even rooted my phone for the second app to give it access but nothing worked. IMO these apps can only fix when the wifi button is green but the internet connectivity got some issues like resolving DNS etc. In my case, the wifi button stays grey always. It turns dull green when i tap it and goes back to grey again. From the settings menu, when I swipe the wifi icon right to turn it on, it freezes for a while and gets back to left. I can still use Wifi with Custom ROM like CM 12.1 but I can't compromise the S Pen functionality which is why I returned to Stock ROM. In Stock ROM, Data Network & Bluetooth etc. are working fine. It's just the wifi which won't Turn On at all.

Wifi sudddenly broken?
I have been using AICP nightlies and everything has been great.... I was looking around in MiXplorer and dropped my phone (pressing many buttons catching it) and now my wifi will not turn on... at first my data wasn't connected either but then I flashed the http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=11326 and l got my LTE back but still my wifi will not turn on... . Oh yeah, and it says "Google play services error" persistently... I've I also wiped dalvik cache, cache, system and restored the system i had backed up w/ TWRP . No luck. I tried dirty flashing the newest release for hltespr which was the 20150925 from today with GAPPS-LP and no luck.... Whatever I hit in MiXplorer really effed some stuff up I suppose.. I have a full backup I can flash but it was over a week ago and I will lose a bunch of work..... Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue w/out formatting and completely wiping and starting over? If I have to go back a week or two it will truly be detrimental. Thanks in advance to any kind sir who will accept this mission!!!:fingers-crossed:

thanks for the reply. i did a clean flash. didnt work.
i flashed the boostack, rebooted back to recovery, flashed the rom and gapps, wiped cache and rebooted. it boots fine. but then i still dont have auto rotate. seems like the drivers werent installed or something
Obvious questions, but did you check the rotation settings inside the display menu? Also, is Adaptive brightness toggled on?

Check the md5 on your download to make sure it is not bad Install twrp 3.0.4.0 you could also move everything you want to keep to a sdcard so you can do a total wipe. Now install rom and gapps only and check to see how everything works before adding root or apps.

This is an old thread, but I am hoping you found a fix for these issues. I am having the same issue. If you have a solution to share I would greatly appreciate it.

That's a drag. Thanks for the quick response though.
Hello, I also have an issue with the accelerometer (and by consequence the auto rotate function).
I am on full stock Nougat B09 (no root) and the issue was also present on B06.
Rebooting the device solve the issue, and factory reset does not make this bug disappear.
That being said, I think I located the root cause.
The magnetometer seems to be never working, even after a reboot. When an app wants to use the magnetometer (like Google map, or the compass), it make the accelerometer crash....
Anyone else having this issue ?
Does you magnetometer works flawlessly ?
Thanks.
@arachneon,
Hi, you can change it in the tools---compass, and in that compass you can waggle the phone in the way of "8", if all that cannot fixed you can also seek help in the nearby ZTE after sales service repair center. Thanks!
