Screen not rotating? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just noticed the screen on my phone won't rotate, no matter what I do. Anyone else with same problem? . Is this a bug or software problem.

You have Rotation ON and, say, Google maps won't rotate?

Thanks it was exposed. As soon as I stopped it. Rotation worked.

How did you fix it? I'm also experiencing no rotation.
Edit: Cleared the cache, all seems fine now...

I'm also experiencing no rotation with some camera apps. It always records video as if I'm holding the phone sideways. I unticked all the xposed modules I have and wipe cached with twrp and the app's cache but the problem still persists.

The previous posts reminded me that Google maps had given me the option to stop the screen from rotating. I tried to find where to turn rotation back on but couldn't find it. So, I went i to app manager in my phone and cleared the cache and data for the maps app.
when that alone didn't work, I restarted my phone. Now rotation is working again. Good luck, hope this helped.

Maybe is illegal to record vertical videos in your country. Just a joke.
Some apps, like Horizon have that feature to record videos always horizontally no matter how you hold the phone.

Updated from 4.4 to 6.0.1, rooted, installed Xposed and a few modules, uninstalled and freezed some apps via titanium backup and got that problem, too.
Does anybody have a new idea how to solve that?

Have you read this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/question-mm-users-uninstalling-facebook-t3363211

I read so many threads but none could help me solve the issue.
So I guess the only way is to re-flash the stock firmware and then use another App to delete these facebook apps.
Really annoying as I just finished setting up anything as I wanted it to be.

I think you only need the libgnustl_shared.so file, no need to flash ROM again.

Poorly only libgnustl_shared.so didn't work out for me.
Luckily reflashing the ROM did work out.

I've done some testing removing bloatware and noticed it's Titanium Backup's fault... If I use any other tool to remove bloatware I don't face this problem with the rotation... I had to reflash the custom rom I'm using several times to reach this conclusion...

I had the same problem, & for whatever reason that version of the file failed to work for me. I had success with this one, following the same steps. https://www.4shared.com/file/ivpHIjB...tl_shared.html

S-Voice crashing

Has anyone else had an issue with s-voice not working? Mine opens fine, takes the voice command, acknowledges it, and then black screen and crash. I've rooted and disabled all the AT&T labeled apps in TiBu and that's it. Any input on troubleshooting would be great!

That's exactly your issue by experience, you can't disable chatOn, somehow it is needed food S voice to work, if you removed them you still need to restore with Kies or Odin, if you didn't remove them, then unfreeze them.
Yeah I had removed them in TiBu and then restored them, but the problems persist. Right after I posted the thread I read another with the same problem. So, right now I'm in the middle of a reset.

Tryng to restore them after been removed doesn't work , like I mentioned before, the same happened to me, it seems that once you remove them something gets corrupted in the shared apps and it doesn't get fixed restoring those apps back in order to fox you must restore with Kies or Odin. but don't worry, you won't lose your data, settings and apps, you will get all the original apps back just re-root, and this time just remove the rest but these ones.

Greenify problem J500FN Lollipop

Hello, I always used Greenify in my devices, but with J5 I've a big problem, I'm not able to use it anymore. I don't have root and I don't want to use it, so I use Greenify non-root mode. It worked for 2 days, but then it has stopped working. The app asked me to activate it in accessibility settings, but when I do it there's a message that says "Settings has stopped working". I can't hibernate apps anymore, and I don't want to root my phone. I'm on Samsung Stock lollipop and I already tried a data factory reset, I also flashed last firmware with odin, nothing to do. In Marshmallow there isn't this problem but I don't want to upgrade, I also tried to clear data and chache or to uninstall Greenify. Is there a fix? Help!

You need to install a TTS, like GoogleTTS. Then choose GoogleTTS at language settings if i remember properly and then the problem is gone. I had same problem in past, and after i googled, i got this answer which solved my problem.
Im not sure, but i think Greenfy does slow down the phone over time. I always used it, even now, but ill check about this on google sometime.

You don't need root lol. Just check Google Play for Google TTS and install it, or download it from apkmirror if you don't have gapps. Then put it on in settings like I told you in my previous post.

Same problem..Whatsapp, spotify and i think other apps too even with every power manager setting turned off keep being killed by the power manager itself. A reboot fix the problem but it comes again few hours later. No solution for now. I tried every possible thing to fix it. The last thing i did was disable these apps packages from the doze list via ADB. Still not sure if it works.
I too am having the same issue. It comes and goes, but is overall unreliable. I have turned off all power saving features for Whatsapp but sometimes it still happens.
Thread on the ZTE site.
Did any of you restore whatsapp from titanium backup? If so, that's your issue
I am also having this issue. Disabled all the power saving settings. I have to un-install and re-install Whatsapp every few days to resolve this issue.
same problem..
no fix yet.. restart sometimes work sometimes it does not.
Perhaps convert the app to a system app when rooted f.e. with link2sd. Set power savings if possible again to a minimum,reboot and test. Might help.
Anyone ever resolve this issue?, I need to stay on marshmallow
This is not a stock rom issue. It happened on literally every rom that I used. To fix it you have to reinstall the whole system.
It happened on certain installs of ROMs on my old Moto G2. AICP, CM13, CM14.1, AOKP, you name it. As you may guess none of them had some failed power management system.

Having this problem on B25 (B32 just came out so I'll try that soon), but I did restore from Titanium. Never a problem on the LOS based ROMs. I'll try backing up chats, then uninstall, reinstall through google play, restore.. see if that works.

Can't share photos from gallery

After rooting my phone the share button in gallery is not working anymore and after pressing it nothing happens. when I reflash stock rom it's working fine but somehow after rooting it's not working
share button in Google photos and file manager and everything else is working just Huawei stock gallery
Anybody knows how to fix it?
Clearing data for gallery and reset preferences did nothing
Tried safe mode to check if there is any app causing it but no luck too

Did you have installed Xposed? For me, it was Xposed that caused delay in opening the menu.. it took lot longer, about 30-45 seconds, for share menu to appear..
Try TWRP

Hi Ahmedoov
Try installing TWRP recovery (guides are here on the P8-Lite forum) then clear your data/cache partitions, ( Make a backup of everything first , I recommend Titanium Backup)

Thanks for remembering me about Xposed, totally forgot about it
I disabled Xposed and it works so I tried to enable the modules one by one and after 9 reboots finally found the reason. This one caused it
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.bocharov.xposed.fscb
I'll try to contact the developer now. Thanks again

Guys, an easier way is this. Just turn on Battery Saver mode and your update or download will start immediately...

You can also delete Google Play Services cache, this works pretty well in those cases. Even if you have problems trying to download a device system update.
Even it's data (in this case you'll have to add an account for Google's data backup again).
However, keep in mind this kind of processes won't work well if you have enabled apps, device features or Magisk modules that force device to save battery in some way.

Would be good to tell us which system you've installed.
Any custom ROM? Are you in stock?
On the first case, check ROM installation.
If it came with gapps preinstalled, better flash an updated version of that ROM (clean or dirty would change, depending of Android major verion in which that update is based), otherwise flash another gapps, I use OpenGapps.Try to flash, at least, nano gapps.
If you're on stock, things are quite different, since there you haven't the same way so solve things, more than than reflashing firmware.

Stock Android One version 9 (Pie) with regular updates. :silly:
Looks like something is screwed up there.
Is your device rooted?
I feel that would be better to backup your data and flash latest firmware with Mi Flasher tool.
The same is happening some times and on my A1 and is fully updated stock rom without root or any other thing...
I think it has to do with the latest version of Google store or Google services...
