Auto rotation problem - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not rooted and on stock 4.3 rom uk
the problem is that auto rotate keep refusing to work and the only way to get it up and running again
is to completely reboot, then it works fine for a few hours then packs up again.
when the fault is present i have gone into keypad and typed *#0*# and sensor and it shows fail there
as it works on reboot it seems like a software problem to me ?
any help would be appreciated

Do you have an external sdcard? If you do and are rooted, disable mediaScanner. Report back if this works for you.

It is stock and I have tried a factory reset with no luck

Try to see if you have the same problem without the sdcard plugged in.

have done that problem persists

I had that problem, and I solved by by disabling mediaScanner, using tasker to enable / disable it. If i leave it enabled, I have your problem whenever my phone wakes up from deep sleep.

Reflash stock man, some software might be damaged, so it cant be reset by a factory reset

have now given up and taken it into samsung for them to repair
48 to 72 hours is the quoted repair time

Turns out to be sh*t in the sensor

Help Nexus 4 bug

This is when it happens:
I put an audio jack from the phone to the car radio and listen to music with Spotify.
After 30 minutes when I arrive I turn my car off and take my phone, from that moment it's stuck in a restart loop.
This is the second time it happens.
The first time it happens I did a factory reset in the boot because the normal reset didn't work because of the restart problem.
After a while it started working again because even the factory reset didn't really work.
Now I just turned my phone off and I am just waiting a while checking if it starts up after a while.
Edit:
I waited a while and turned my phone on and now its fully working again.
All stock? Rome, kernel etc?

[Q] keyboard missing (not in pen mode)

hi, i have a galaxy note 2 currently running 4.1.1 and a friend of mine downgraded it from 4.1.2 and it didnt work properly so he reflashed it to at&t (originally telus) and then reflashed it back to telus. He was attempting to unlock it. Ever since then, whenever i open messages and attempt to type, the keyboard doesnt appear. there is nothing that appears at the bottom where the keyboard should be. its just black and its definitely not in pen mode. When i usually start the phone up, it says "unfortunately, Snote has stopped working". and then when i attempt to open the app for Snote, it says there isn't enough space. When i go to enter my wifi password on the other hand, the keyboard appears. please help as soon as possible. thanks.
Note 3 here...

Granted you're in the wrong forum, but with all the messing around you've done, I'd do a factory reset if I were you.

Hi there,
I have the same problem, though not a solution.
Deleted all my recent installed apps (thinking one of them would be the cause), but no results...
cleared system caches and rebooted a few times, though no result

Auto rotation not working, sometimes

Running 4.4.2, was running fine then one day auto rotation stopped. Tried turning it off and back on in settings/accessibilities. Tried running in safe mode. What I've read other people have the same problem. One possibility is factory reset, don't want to but all else fails. I can eventually get it to work by turning it on and off. But it still comes back.

Wiped dalvik and wiped cache a few days ago, seems OK now.

Why is my S4 i9505 randomly rebooting after rooting?

I rooted my phone a couple of days ago using cf auto root. I haven't flashed a custom recovery yet. I deleted 1 systen app which was the YouTube app so i could install a better version. Then my phone randomly did a quick reboot. It went to the spinning samsung logo and then to lockscreen. It took about 15-20 seconds. It skipped the samsung music that usually plays during boot and skipped the screen that says samsung galaxy s4 gt i9505. And, sometimes the home screen just freezes until i go to a different application (like settings) or holding the home button. Since i rooted, these random reboots hav happemed about 8 times. Today it happened about 2 or 3 times. I've noticed that is triggered when the screen is powering off when i press the power button or after a minute of inactivity when it automatically dims and then powers off. But it doesnt happen like this everytime. However, one of them happened was while i was talking to someone on the phone.
A couple lf people have said that installing the latest firmware on my phone will help. But isn't there any othet way to fix it?
Why is this happening? What is causing this? Will this problem go if i unroot?
