Hi All,
It has been almost a week for my new nexus 10 was unable to rotate the screen by it self if i hold it side ways. I check and make sure the rotate lock is NOT on. I was running on a stock ROM. Then I did a factory reset in the setting. Nothing Change
I update the OTA 4.2.2. Nothing Change
I Root it again then flashed PARANOIDANDROID 3.1 RC [AOSP 4.2.2 Base - Nexus 10] [Hybrid] - Nothing change
At this point I am not able to make the screen rotate by itself. If the screen is in horizontal mode, If i go into a app that is vertical, then it will stock in vertical mode.
I download the android sensor box. shows that my accelerometer sensor and orientation sensor is off. But I do not know how to re calibrate it.
HELP

The screen Auto-Rotate doesn't work for my N1 after upgrading to 2.2.1 FRG83.
My screen orientation is not rotating when turn the phone from side to upright. Side to side rotation still works.
I will need to reboot my phone or cancel the "Auto-Rotate Screen" setting to bring the screen orientation back to upright. Is this the bug of FRG83 or just my N1? By the way, it works fine before i have done the upgrade.
Is it possible to rotate the screen while the TF is docked? Auto-rotate appears to be disabled, such that even if the setting is enabled, the screen will not rotate when turned. If I lock the screen in anything but the "right-side-up" landscape mode prior to docking, it just reverts when placed in the dock. I am looking for the ability to have the screen locked in "upside-down" landscape mode when docked.
Odd as this may sound, if it is not possible, this may be a deal-breaker with me and my new TF. I am in the Navy on a submarine and I want to mount the TF upside down in my rack (bed) above me so that it turns in to flip-down screen that I can stream movies from my external hd. Any ideas?
I read in one post that the auto-rotate was disabled while docked in the most recent update, can anyone confirm this? I will be willing to revert or run a custom rom if this feature is possible in another version.
I am running the latest stock 3.1 update. Thanks in advance.
auto rotate did used to work for me while docked before the last update. Not a big deal really but one thing I noticed.
Thanks, but I can't get the screen to rotate while docked no matter what version I try.
Flashed to Prime 1.5 since it was based on the previous 8.4.4.5 - no go.
Flashed to stock 8.4.4.5 - still a no go.
I ensured auto-rotate was enabled when docked, and it would not rotate.
I locked the screen "upside-down" and then docked, but it still reverted back.
If the previous version allowed this, any ideas on what i m doing wrong?
Can anyone else confirm that their screen rotated while docked?
Is there any mod that can enable this feature?
I too would appreciate a way of changing the orientation while docked or while locked to a certain orientation by an application.
Hi,
I've got a problem with the accelerometer of my nexus 10, when I'm in automatic rotation mode the devise doesn't rotate automatiquely when I rotate it. And when an application force the portrait mode I have to desactivate the automatic rotation mode to go back in landscape mode.
Thanks in advance

I believe GPS Status & Toolbox can re-calibrate the accelerometer (along with Compass, and get AGPS data), might be worth looking into
Fixed my screen orientation problem.
I spent a good four hours or so trying to figure out why my screen orientation wasn't working properly even after a reboot and boot into safe mode. I could only get one portrait with buttons on bottom and had to rotate an extra 30 degrees or less than 1 degree to cause it to flip between landscape orientations. Loaded up Google Skymaps and the Horizon was off by about 30 degrees in landscape, but fine in portrait. First went and downloaded Android Sensor Box and found the X-axis would run up to +15.5 and only -3.7. Anyways the calibration reset in GPS Status & Tool Box 4.0.1 fixed it immediately.
Awesome call on that program espionage724 would have never found it if I didn't find this thread and your post.
Edit it came back although a combination of running the program and hitting the lock button seemed to fix it. This time the axis offset was reversed though. Probably an operating system bug and only seemed to come back after I attached an OTG USB cable so =/ ?
Same problem here
I have the same problem with a new Nexus 10. The rotation did not work in any application at any time. With the Sensor Toolbox, I see that the sensor is working to some extend. Recalibrating with the GPS Status did not change anything.
Is this a hardware defect, so that I should send mine back to Google?
If you happen to get the orientation working, I'd be happy if you share it with me.
I've noticed that since updating to 4.4 that my sensors are freezing.
I noticed it when I went to use SMS and the screen immediately switched to landscape and would not rotate back when I held the phone upright. I unchecked the auto rotate in the settings and it returned to upright. I also noticed at the same time that the screen was a little dark and was not auto adjusting the brightness.
From the phone I entered *#0*# to get the test page and on opening the sensors they where all stuck solid. Only the proximity would work.
Sensor Hub test shows the STM32 pass.
The only way to fix it is to power off and back on. A re-start does not fix the issue.
I suspect a hardware problem. Anyone else seen this before?

Hi all,
after the upgrade to KitKat 4.4.2 I'm having some problem such as application root permission loss (AdAware) and, the most boring, screen rotation malfunction.
Some weeks ago, it started blocking the screen in portrait and the accelerometer stop working. It was possible to rotate to landscape the screen only with specific screen rotation apps or via games that set the rotation by their self. Any reboot didn't solve the issue but "magically" every malfunction disappeared after some days of sickness ! LOL
Some days ago the problem back on my Nexus but with some variations. I turn on the tablet and the screen keep in portrait and after some minutes it turn to landscape automatically. No way to restore it to portrait except with a reboot, any other third part application can only turn the screen to reverse portrait or landscape or reverse landscape!
Any ideas about this pain in the back?
Thanx
