[Problem]Screen Rotation - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My wife's S5 screen rotation isn't working. I wondered why she sent me an upside-down picture the other day, and then she complained about the screen last night, after she used my phone to look at a Facebook post. I've checked all her settings and everything is in order. Does anyone have a clue what could be wrong?! Seems the sensor isn't working, but don't want to hassle with a replacement, unless I'm sure.

You can check priority from "setting" option in your phone.

Vibrant Doesnt Rotate Sideway..

I brought the phone the day it came out, I remember using the phone Sideway while messaging my friend and playing with the Swpe. But yesterday I notice, when I turn it sideway, it doesnt do anything anymore. Same problem with web browsing... is there a setting for this?
Go to settings, sound and display and check the orientation box.

Touchscreen freeze after standby

I've fixed the sod after flashing 2.14 radio on my tmous hd2. However, now when I return from standby, the screen turns on but I can't unlock it using touchscreen. I can unlock it fine if I enable the menu button, after which the touchscreen will still not work but menu button does. Then after about 30 sec everything works.
This problem only happens after being on standby for a long time, ie. 30 min plus. I'm using shubcraft rom.
Is this the freezing error from g sensor or something else?

I had the same problem... for some reason it went away on its own.... which probably means it will Come back on it's own but hey...
I'd look into the g sensor thing though.....

Try waking up the phone with the yes/call/send/green key. (Instead of no/hangup/red/power key)
Also if you disable auto rotate from settings display, you won't get touch freezes because of g sensor. You can try it.
You can even disable g sensor completely if you want, but you don't need to as auto rotate fix works.
Please provide feedback.
I've uninstalled some programs and changed the settings and it seems to have gotten better. I put back on the auto rotation settings and so far so good, so I don't know exactly what did it.

You may also take a look at your setcpu profiles is yore using it. My screen off profile was set at 245/245 and I had a lot of wake-problems. I adjusted it to 384/384 and it is 95% better. The battery barely suffers. Just my .02.

Yea I have it at 384-245. It's not too bad lately. I've updated the kernel again, happened once recently.

I've noticed that if your wifi is set to "always on" i get this error consistently. It went away once I disabled that setting.

Cannot turn off voice caller ID read out

A friend of mine has a fascinate with the latest OTA update. He has somehow turned on a voice caller ID readout and cannot turn it off. I have gone through every setting in the phone and cannot figure out what to turn off. The car dock is off, and I have checked the box that said something like "always use my settings" and yet its still on. I have searched through Google and found other people with the same issue, and no resolution. Has anyone here had this problem? And what did you do to fix it? Thanks.

Wi-Fi always turning itself on?? :(

Last night I installed a few toggle widgets. First for auto rotation then for sound profiles then the Bluetooth one and in the end for Wi-Fi.
However after installing the Wi-Fi widget.. I noticed Wi-Fi would turn itself on without even asking my permission. This I noticed when I woke up today morning and saw an unexpected amount of battery drain. I immediately checked and the Wi-Fi was on. I remember correctly that I had switched it off in night (which comes under my daily habits after hitting the bed). Anyhow I immediately got rid of that widget by uninstalling but issue still persists.
Can anyone suggest anything to stop phone from turning Wi-Fi on itself?
Below is the app and my Wi-Fi's advance settings.

By the way.. I must add.. My phone is totally stock. And I I have had no problems with any of the apps prior to installation of this widget.

Sometimes apps like this can be a little flaky. I have HD widgets that I use to turn on my wifi and it can misbehave also. I have compensated by having a app that turns the wifi off at a particular time of day. You can also set it to turn wifi off when the screen is off. Other than that I would suggest looking for a widget that works better. There is a ton out there.
It was my bad that I downloaded this widget. I don't want to download some app to ''manage'' Wi-Fi setting off. I want to make it how it was prior this widget installation... Turning on and of myself. Is there any way.... Without the help of another app or widget

I think i need to change KEEP WIFI ON DURING SLEEP option to Never.
Can anyone attach a snapshot of his advance settings in wifi option? Like i have attached above
I believe it's the "battery guru" app you have installed... that's primarily what it does, keep you on Wi-Fi as much as possible

Emmmm.. You sure?
Because it started last night after I installed that widget. It "never" happened before that. :s
Can u post ut advance settings page's screenshot? Just need to match settings.
Pretty sure... it was happened to me, I noticed it after the learning mode was completely

So far I think this was the cause.. Snapdragon BatteryGuru.
Go to the settings in BatteryGuru and turn OFF the "Manage Wi-Fi" option. It's been an hour I have turned it off and wifi hasn't turned itself on. Therefore, I believe this option was causing wifi to show up.
I remember a friend of mine turned this option ON (the same day when I installed that wifi toggle). I just realized that after reading QUIETLYloud's post. Thanks a bunch mate.
This will help people in future.

Have you:
-Turned the phone off and take out the battery for at least 30 seconds?
-Made sure the toggle for 'Screen Rotation' is highlighted in green?
-Try a factory reset? (Back up important data first, SD card will not be touched)
-Make sure your gyroscope (I believe that is the sensor for rotation) is working correctly by installing a 3rd party app such as androsensor.
If not I would send in your phone, that is if it is still under warranty.
No
