I've noticed that my 6P is a bit too quick to switch from portrait to landscape mode.
Is there a way to tweak the rotation/orientation sensor so that it's not so twitchy?
I would like to stay on portrait mode unless I've rotated the phone by quite a bit.
Thanks!

hi, recently got the HD2. the auto rotate does not work even in album(photos) mode. Pictures taken in portrait mode stay in that mode and so does the ones in landscape mode. I have to turn the phone to see the pictures. Is this normal? if so, what does auto rotate do?
try googling gyrator and install the latest version.... simplez
I'm sure everyone has noticed that with 2.2, the orientation control blows. In previous versions, the orientation sensor was active anytime the display was on and it was quick. But now it is only active when an app using it is active. If you're on the home screen, the orientation sensor is not active. So, if you have the phone in landscape and back out to home, the orientation remains in landscape regardless of how you hold the phone after closing the app. If you hold the phone upright and open an app, it will open the app in landscape mode even though you're holding it vertical. It takes up to several seconds for the orientation sensor to come back on, recognize you're vertical, and rotate itself. This is annoying at best and can cause some serious lagging if the app is trying to do other things at the same time.
So what we need is a way to make the orientation sensor be active all the time again. No such option. So we'll trick it! Solution? TASKER!
Create a new profile in tasker, I called mine "Orientation Un-F&ck". Set the context for State > Orientation > Standing Up. It doesn't really matter what orientation you pick, we're just making it check the orientation. For tasks, it doesn't actually have to do anything so I made the task be Tasker > Stop. So it literally just does nothing.
So now tasker is always monitoring the display orientation. The phone doesn't give a crap why or what it does. It just knows something cares about orientation so the orientation sensor is active and doing its thing.
Result, when you back out of an app in landscape, and open an app in while vertical, it immediately switches to vertical. No delay.
I do not know what effect this will have on the battery. Probably nothing since no matter what you do, the orientation sensor is off when the display is off. Most people don't sit there staring at their home screen for hours so I anticipate no adverse effects on battery draw.

I look at the home screen for about 10 hours a day everyday.
thanks

Well there is nothing Tasker can do for you other than generate a timed pop-up that says "Get a life"
Hi,
II have issue with standard OOS camera, the pictures are not rotated to landscape if I take them with Auto-Rotate off.
To me this is new since 2.1.2, as I never noticed this before.
Any ideas ?
Yes, exactly the same for me and I didn't notice it before 2.1.2 either.
Hoping for a quick fix....
On the lock screen and ambient display, the display doesn't respect night mode. It is always in "day" mode. Once it unlocks, it fades to night mode. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix to enable night mode on the lock screen/ambient display?
Bump. Has anybody else noticed this?

From several reviews Ive seen the fingerprint sensor needs to flash at max brightness to work then the screen will go to whatever brightness you've selected

It's not the brightness that's the issue though, it's the fact that it's not tinted yellow for night mode.
The brightness flash is still unnecessary though. When registering a fingerprint, the rest of the display is dim, while the green circle is full brightness. There's no reason they can't do the same thing on the lock screen.
While verifying that fact though, I noticed that the fingerprint registration page disables night mode as well, so I guess it is a fingerprint thing after all. I still think it could be implemented better. I wonder if it's possible to counteract the tint from night mode on just the fingerprint sensor light.
I've found the same. A bit annoying. There should be an option in night maybe to disable fingerprint when night mode is on
Anyone else have this issue.
Does not work for me when using YouTube and wanting to switch from portrait to landscape.
Very frustrating
Just me then?
I'm sure you checked the auto-rotate is enabled.
On my side, I also have to manually press the full screen icon on YouTube app from time to time like 80% of the time, the rotation is automatic
Yes have it enabled. Have tried switching on and off as well as switching phone on and off.
I've noticed also now that if I'm looking at photos they do not rotate either
I'm having the same issue. I have reset the setting multiple times, restarted phone, and tested the gyroscope ability. It just doesn't auto rotate anymore & it's definitely annoying.
