Hi. So I've got the Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 with [ROM][I9505][XXUBMEA][08Jun] Omega v5.0 ●►JB 4.2.2 on it. I dont figure how the smart rotation works. From what ive seen in order for the smart rotation to be activated I also have to activate auto rotation. It's that correct? From what ive read the smart rotation helps the phone rotate according to the orientation of the face. so i dont need to flip the phone on horizontal(landscape). Please help...

Well what u saying is correct but keep smart rotation OFF and screen rotation ON
keeping Smart rotation off will have ur phone rotate faster and works best.... keeping it On will trouble u many times not working properly as it works depending on light condition
i didnt understand exacty what u said (its my english ) but as i know on my old note u must disable the auto rotate (it automatically do that) and forexample when ur sleeping the screen does not rotate! (it check ur eyes before rotating ) and it would make a litle bit lag i would only turn on at night or stuff as i want to save some battery^_^

Thank you for your quick response.
similar prob
Same problem but all my sensors show pass via *#0*# sensor checks. Tried nordic i9505 I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar 4.4.2, then SIngapore I9505XXUFNBE_I9505OLBFNB3_I9505XXUFNBE_HOME.tar 4.4.2 all the fken same problem. Screen rotation all fine when I flash firmware, root, then flash CWM touch - everything good. Screen rotate works until the first reboot after all of this which might even be a day or 2 later. As soon as reboot phone, screen rotation dies and it is a huge pain in the arse. Sensors continue to say pass via *#0*#. Every few days i have to re-flash firmware, re-root, then re-CWM touch, no need to factory reset just those 3 steps. Has anyone got any solutions for this yet??

if you had removing some bloatware, try this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644293
It's not Samsung Hub on my i9515
I removed Watchon, Google Drive - Video - Music etc. and it stopped rotating.
Samsung added some procedures to break your phone when touching preinstalled apps !

Hi, today suddenly my phone didn't rotate the screen anymore when I rotated the phone to landscape. I had auto-rotate on. This problem had stayed for a while now and I have already rebooted my phone as well as turned off and on auto-rotate. I know the accelerometer is working because I used apps that use the accelerometer, so my guess is it's done software bug. I think it had happened before to me but briefly and it somehow got fixed. I'm wondering if this has happened to someone else and how you fixed it. Thanks!

If u were referring to it auto rotating in the home screen, the stock launcher doesn't not do it
No not the home screen, any screen (browser, Facebook, mail, etc..)

Try an app called ultimate rotate to force rotation in apps as a test

Way to read the OP.
This just happened to me....I have auto-rotate checked in accessability and display...any help would be appreciated.
Happening to me now as well. Not sure whats causing it :-/
Auto Rotate
It is happening to me as well.
I don't know if it pertains to you or no as mine is rooted and it does only on AOKP Rom.
For now what I had is to install Screen Orientation app. It lets you toggle Forced Portrait / Forced Landscape mode from notification bar.
And i have checked auto rotation enable in settings.
Open Instagram, it forces portrait..
help
This is happening to me right now but much worse, I've toggled, rebooted, wiped, reflashed, flashed old backups, different kernels, different roms I was originally running AOKP with faux kernel and my auto-rotate had been working fine then I downloaded temple run and I couldn't tilt from side to side, I would re-calibrate but every sensor app I download says that my; Accelerometer, compass, light sensor, proximity sensor, temp, gyroscope, gravity sensor, linear acceleration, and rotation vector sensor don't even exist, the apps say there not there. I have no idea what more to do to reset them or fix them, they were all working fine before and then they just stopped.
Any ideas or information would be appreciated, the last thing I'm going to try is a full Odin flash back to stock everything (if that is even available yet for the nexus 4)

i read something about losing sensors by using the 4.2.2 radio With a 4.2.1 Rom. anyways it's a documented issue. try going through the 4.2.2 threads. i believe that's where i saw it mentioned.

smacking it worked
read on another forum that "a decently hard smack" would correct it.
they were right, Its working again.

in my case, it was an app called gravity screen. uninstalled it, reboot phone, and the auto rotate is enabled now
Hey guys,
This is my first Samsung after multiple HTCs, so this has really annoyed me... I preordered from Orange back in April, so I've had it since release. Everything was fine, though the battery life was far from perfect.
In the last week, maybe two, I noticed that the screen wasn't turning properly. Then it was stuck on the right side, whenever I turned on Screen Rotation. After 4 restarts, it just does nothing. I tried wiping and starting again, but to no avail...
I've also been into the *#0*# menu and under Sensors, the Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Magnetic selftests all fail. I thankfully don't play any games that require them, but taking photos is stuck to landscape and I can't view them in landscape on my phone...
Any theories?
same problem here mate!
Rooted, installed CWM recovery, fooled around with some Google Edition Roms and now I`m on the same problem.
Out of the blue, the sensor stoped working!
Flashed my original ROM with Odin and that didn`t work.
And background of the recovery (now original) the android has a red triangle and he is lying flat.
Everything else is working...
Someone plz help!
I'm sorry about how this sounds, but I'm glad it's not just me!
I didn't try rooting yet, so it's not related to that. I'm going to call Samsung (no web support...) Tomorrow if I get a chance.
Had yours overheated a few times beforehand? I'm wondering if the sensors are ruined by the heat...
Not sure if it is the heat...
My GS3 was always hot when using! And everything was fine for more than a year.
Your light sensor is working?
Mine is not working either.
To be more precise:
Accelerometer, Proximity, Barometer, Light, Gyroscope, Magnetic, Gesture and Temp-Humid
all of the Sensors of the *#0*# test
=/
Nope, light sensor doesn't recognise when I'm in a call and put it to my ear, or remove it... It senses nothing.
Today I unstalled the 3D Image live wallpaper app (since it uses the Gyroscope) and restarted the the phone, every sensor was up and running again.
So I installed the 3D Image live wallpaper again and after a while the sensors stopped again.
So I unstalled again and rebooted the phone again and... Nothing! This seens to be completly random.
Do you use any Gyroscope 'intensive' app?
I factory reset my handset and nothing, so it's not an app or wallpaper I'm using. After the restore I used the Internet Browser to check the screen rotation, nothing.
I've a similar problem here... the sensors sometimes doesn't work, sometimes does work, it's random. Already tried to restore factory defaults and many different FWs, always with this same behavior....
My S4 has only 3 weeks, and it came like this, but I took some time to identify the problem...
I have the same problem, I tried factory reset several times, changed the FW for all available versions and the problem continues. In my case the only difference is that the sensors operate for a maximum of 30minutes after I reboot the phone and then stop again.
Has anything else happened like getting water near the phone in order for sensors to not work..
Or the phobe fell down?

Can the problem due to the installation of a third-party launcher like Nova or Apex? When using these launcher, none of the sensors work. When back to the default TW launcher, some work while others not working.
Is this a bug?

I used stock Touchwiz. My sensors suddenly stopped working. I did a hard reset and problem still existed. Today I will get my phone from repair and post some more info.
Using the *#0*# test mode, all functions are working. However, some of the sensors are working like hit-and-run state. Wondering should I bring it down to the service center.
Got my SGS4 today and flashed it to GE ROM. Everything woks fine, but I tried taking a picture with Photosphere and it kept on drifting off.
I guess that means I have a similar problem. Will test Service menu later today...
OK, Service Menu does not work on GE edition ROM...but I found a little app called Sensor Test for free on the PlayStore and it shows all sensors working fine with the exception of the accelerometer...that gives nonsense values...
It does sound like a fault with hardware not software or anything you have done so you should be able to walk into the orange store or [insert carrier retail store here] and they should replace it as long as your under contract at least thats how it works here in the uk with the sales of goods act
Okay. Strange things. I only habe severe problems in Photosphere. Flashed a different ROM and service menu dass all OK.
GPS toolbox looks OK with the compass ticking slightly to the right, then jerking back. Needs More research...
Update: I flashed back to a 4.2.2 ROM (also Google Edition) and now my problem seems to be gone...
Are you all on 4.3 or do some of you use 4.2 ROMs?
Update2: Turned out to be coinsidence...drifting started in 4.2.2 as well. I then tried my trust old Galaxy Nexus and saw that it also drifts now. I'm completely confused...
Got my S4 back from repair center. They replaced the main board and now everything appears to be working ok.

Got mine back, too (Germany, datrepair.de). Don't know what they changed, but it's still not functioning. So disappointed...
Hey i just had the same issue, suddenly (nothing happened, i was playing some game, not even with heavy graphics or anything) and when i was back to my home screen i noticed the auto rotation doesn't work, after i tried rebooting and taking out the battery i re-flashed my omega rom and still, nothing.
In the sensors test they all fail.
Is there anything else other than sending it to repair?
I mean did anyone succeeded in repairing that issue with some simple means?
Thanks!
i had the exact same problem
i claimed warranty, still waiting
Okay so im running rooted stock rom and from out of nowhere yesterday my autorotate stopped working. I also notice that my phone is no longer counting any steps via S health. I ran tests and all my sensors are functioning properly and even the icons in the camera app rotate when i change my phones orientation however nothing else will rotate automatically.
Anyone have any experience with this or something similar? I'm totally lost here and desperately avoiding a factory wipe, Any help would be much appreciated

Did you ever fix this? Same thing just happened to me. If I need landscape orientation, I have to switch to youtube, start a video, maximize it (which forces landscape), then switch apps back where I was.
Thanks,

Hi guys, i hope everyone is doing great....this is my first post so if i post this in the wrong section or forum please do advise me or feel free to move it.
Alright i have a Samsung S5 SMG900i Australian one; unfortunately somehow the sensor stopped working what i mean is that gyro fails on screen test , auto rotation not working , neither when i play games that uses tilting , so yeah....phone seems broken, curious thing though is that if i reboot in safe mode and quicmyl get out of it and restar in normal mode, gyro will give readings and start working until it breaks down again within a few minutes; ive reinstalled using lates, old, experimental, nighlys. any room either official or stock still gyro and tilt sensor not working can anyone help me with this? Another thing is i love playing Airplane games now that gyro or tilt sensor is not working i want to see if i can either fox this issue , or i could get an app that draws a stick over the games and simulates the gyro with my movements? What i mean is; if i want to play a airplane simulator but the plane wont move because my phone is broken, anyone knows of an app that can simulate gyroscope or tilt movements with a simple joystick so i could move the planes as if i was moving the phone?.
I count with
S5
Cm13 latest nightly
Xposed
Root apps and adb
Please so helo me either find an app that can simulate gyro with a joystick or any way i could use root or xposed to force the gyroscopic sensor reset?.
Very very thanks in advance and i apologize for my bad english i tried my best to make myself as clear as possible.
Cheers.

Open the phone dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* , if it doesn't work the first time try the code again and it should open the hidden testing menu, choose device test and you can manually test all the phones sensors to confirm if the proximity sensor is working or not. I had a s7 that did the same thing, the proximity sensor just quit working one day and I confirmed it wasn't working with this method. Good luck.
same result, not working too.
maybe problem is from hardware,
any idea on how to fix it, just something like using xposed or what?

I just dealt with it, sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. There's an app on the play store that you can use for screen rotation, I ended up using that when I absolutely needed rotate the screen.
i dont care about rotation screen.. i just want the back screen working normally, if tap transfer button on color display it won't open it on epd screen when i rotate the phone..
I don't know if it happened the same with you, I own a YD206 so I am not sure how YD201 behaves, but there's a problem with proximity sensor that makes it working all the time, I have wrote a comment about it and will try to contact Yota about this, meanwhile it would be important for people that are not aware of this problem because is such a faint light to actually confirm if the same is happening to them, YD201 or YD206:
I discovered that I also have this problem, I was with the wrong radio, had to flash the Chinese radio and it suddenly appeared, this is what I have found I have an YD206, so I wonder how the YD201 behaves:
On YD206:
With wrong radio. radio (Russia xx versions) on YD206 , in KitKat or Lollipop ROMs the proximity sensor is OFF by default BUT, as soon you turn ON an app that uses it, it won't turn off again, it keeps blinking even if you force kill the app that started. However it will turn off if the screen is off, after 5 seconds after. Also it's important to acknowledge that 2G only with this radios fails. On Lollipop Wifi won't turn off automatically, just manually.
YD206 With the correct radio. radio S01_003_3034_CN1_M05 2G 3G (UMTS) and 4G (LTE) all work and with better reception, but as soon the screen is ON, the proximity sensor starts working, does not matter what app you have open, when you turn OFF the screen the proximity sensor will turn OFF in about 5 seconds. If you are using the EPD screen the proximity sensor will turn OFF faster than 5 seconds, but as soon you touch the EPD it will turn ON for 3 seconds or so. On Lollipop Wifi won't turn off automatically, just manually.
So the problem acts differently when you flash a different radio, I am not sure where's the bug comes from, but it seems there's also a bug with YotaRom. There's a Xposed module to disable proximity sensor in specific apps, I haven't tried that, I also would like to know how this behaves with the Marshmallow Beta.
(For the ones that are not aware of this problem, keep in mind that to see this problem you need to be on a dark place to see the very faint red light of the proximity sensor.)
Best regards,
