Probably the screen multi flex cable that's moving slightly when keyboard is moved. Could try re-setting the connector at the d/pad.

Help: Phone goes into automatic landscape mode

Hi all,
My phone has been acting weird recently. Whenever i access the phone app, the screen goes into landscape mode without me tilting the phone. It doesn't seem like it is able to escape the landscape mode. This is also true for the sms app. Does anyone else have the same problem, and does anyone know how to fix this. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Have you tried recalibrating the G-Sensor?
If that doesn't work you can try violently shaking the phone or give a slight knock on the sides.
Worked for my wife's iPhone. Never had the problem again after that.

Does anybody noticed this ? is it software bug or faulty sensor ?

The screen is rotating sometimes with the phone flat on table or sometimes holding it in my hand in portrait mode
It doesn't happen all the time but sometimes it does

It's pretty normal for a phone to switch to landscape mode while on a table, tables are virtually never perfectly flat. So that's that. But if the device gets stuck in landscape mode while you're holding it out I portrait mode, and you need to switch auto-rotation off and on in order to fix it, that's a bug that a few people have noticed worth this device (including new). The only fix so far is to toggle the auto-rotation.
You need to calibrate it.

I am not sure yet. On other devices I knew how to, on this one I have only seen it on the maps. You have to tilt it doing the 8 shape until it says calibrated.

This happen because your phone was on landscape mode before you lay it flat on the table. And because launcher doesn't rotate to landscape, you thought that your phone is in portrait mode until you got into the settings.
