plz help: screen rotation doesn't work, but...

Hi,
i have new magic.
the (automatic) screen rotation doesnt work.
i have read that this could be a problem of non-root.
however i want to root my magic and could get different roms.
if i turn the magic to the left the display doent change.
trying apps like bubbles, sensor test, sensor debug, acelerator log, etc.
shows me that these apps realize a smooth rotate of the magic in all three axes.
i try the dice app. while shaking the magic with strong, i get a rotation.
but the rotation only stops when i decativate the automatic rotation (and enabling it again to test further)
does anybody know if theres a chance to edit some files with calibration data etc for the screen rotation ?
some other hints ?
i have also tried the 8-movement but no change.
i'm wondering that the apps (see above) shows a movement in all axes but the rotation doesnt work.
plz help

strange but now it works
i am sorry but now it works.
i used again the wipe rotate settings from RA Recovery 1.52G
and i start the Bubble apps and after turning it in 3 dimensional movements
i realize that bubble show the spirit level with different views.
in the past there was only one spirit-level view and the degrees (could be shown via bubble settings) doesnt reach 30 degrees in the past.
now after the wipe rotate setting and directly 3d-movements (like a 8 in 3 dimensions) the should have trained the accelerator in a new manner i have never seen before.
now screen rotations work.
believe me there is a chance to train the calibration.
( i know that calibration with the 8-movement-method was already described but i try this hundred times without a change)

Can I make my Tattoo to switch orientation to 360 degrees?

I tried this with the 2.1 OpecEclair ROM,but i returned to original Android 1.6 and now I don't have this option.
Can I unlock this option(360 degree rotating) whit the original ROM?Also now I can switch orientation only when I'm browsing or typing SMS.I want to rotate in the menu or at the home screen.
I will appreciate any help.

?? 360 degrees?

is it possible that you mean 180° ?

360° is all the way round, so it's the same as before. 180° means upside-down..

I can understand 270°. But 180°? What's the point?

I think, maybe he wants turn the view 180 degrees, when in horizontal mode, becouse he is left-handed and this will be more comfortable for him. Or maybe, not... Where he's gone, he doesn't answer to our questions :/

auto rotate function

Hello guys
I am trying to enjoy the auto rotate function on my desire but it is very annoying and inaccurate, i was hoping the auto rotate would only work when the phone is at 90 or 180deg instead of i.e. 60-70 and about140, calibration doesn't help, does anybody know an app or a dev that could somehow fix this 'issue' and make it to rotate only when it hits 90 and 180?
regards

Anyway to force landscape 90° clockwise instead counterclock?

So far many apps are pretty lax in whether you hold the fire landscape with usb port on right or left. I was holding it to the left since I had it and had no problems.
Now I have a case like a book flap and I prefer the flap ontop hanging back,.usb port on the left. Couple.of.apps force it upside down, having to hold it the other way looks and feels stupid now. Anyone know if there's an app or what.exactly would control that? The kernel?

Found an app, Orientation Control
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.coinsoft.android.orientcontrol&hl=en
This has an override to force the landscape the other way. Only problem I've seen is if you have it set to autorotate like default, then those apps will still rotate counterclock. If you set this to forced, it will do it clockwise but lock and disable the auto rotate.
So an extra step if you know youll be using something for a while and worth manually setting and locking the setting.

my display is stuck in landscape now since yesterday while i was trying to install swiftkey x. i never actually got it installed so i cannot say it is the cause of having the display stuck. i was also tinkering around in nook colour tools, but cannot seem to find anything nook colour tools' settings that fixes my problem.
any feedback is appreciated.

Landscape Mode

Playing around with settings and Seem to have stumbled on something. I see that in the settings (Screen Shot included) were you have the ability to change rotation modes, If you tilt kindle to landscape and un check 90 degrees and 0 degrees and keep 270 degrees checked it will stay stuck in landscape, I personally think that for myself kindle is much more portable in this position.
And no need for more added applications :laugh:
** I searched and searched with no success on this issue as I have found here, if I did miss this and has been discovered and i'm wasting space forgive me.

Don't most 4.0+ roms already have a Auto Rotate screen switch so that you have turn that on and off from the notifications?

You are correct but with this I have found that this is a secure way of locking in tablet orientation without system having other settings to fall back on (ie: 0, 90, etc)
