No Auto-Rotation after selecting portrait lock - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I'm not shure if is this the place, but here goes my problem.
A few days ago i decide to root my devide and after a loooong night o brick and stafs... i finally did it
So i proceed to install two rooms based on note 7 firmware... the fisrt one present bugs...
The i try with the second one, this was more stable but then i deactivated autorotate... and the next day when i activated again the screen still on portrait mode, so i decide to go back to stock
The real problem came here the first rom stock... all sensors stop working (besides get wet sim an sd card... still wondering why) so i flash another rom and still the same... all sensor marking 0s
after a long day... i decide to back to custom room and all my problems solve besides autorotating... dont understand why stop working (even flashing with pit the rom stock)
Games and Youtube(when i put on full screen) rotate to landscape... but other apps like whatsapp, facebook, multiwindows, etc... doesn't rotate...
Any suggestion??
I also try this method (enter root explorer and paste this libgnustl_shared.so on /system/lib), but the phone get laggy on the lock screen
Thx

Auto-rotation not working in ICS, possible driver issue and resolution path?

As a noob, I could not post this in the thread where it applied. I hope someone sees it and passes it along.
Problem: the tab does not automatically rotate the screen image when you rotate the orientation of the device. The lock switch is "unlocked". The problem arose after the ICS update was applied.
I found this link in another device forum that seems to be dealing with the same issue.

Basically, he replaced the accelerometor sensor driver files I think.
Hopefully one of the developers here will see this and can hookup with the other author to see what is really going on finally.
Until then, we need to keep a safety pin handy to hard reset the A500 when it goes insane.

Clean boot your tab. This will force the OS to install itself again.
Note: Clean boot will erase all the data/information which is saved on your tablet. Recommend you to back up the data before performing a clean boot.
1. Shutdown the tablet
2. Press and hold volume up key (the key next to rotation lock) until you finish step 4.
3. Press power button for 3 seconds until you feel device vibrates then release power button.
4. Once you feel device vibrates, very quick to switch on/off "rotation key" many times (this activity has to be done very fast, otherwise it will not succeed). To ensure you succeed, switch on/off rotation key when Acer logo appears on screen.
5. Wait for a while (you will see Erase Userdata and Erase Cache on top-left corner on screen), device will reboot and start from OOBE screen.
See if that fixes it.
Didn't work for me had to factory reset tab to get accelometer working again. This is the second time.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
Erasing as suggested did not help. Only thing found to help so far has been the pinhole hard reset. And, even that did not work once I flashed to "Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1" version. I reverted back to what Acer had pushed to me, and it is working as well as before, meaning, it works as long as you have a pin ready to stick in it.
I have something to add to this thread. The auto-rotation issue started for me after switching to the V3 ICS bootloader.
I kind of found a workaround for it. (If you can call it that)
If I start or reboot my tablet in portrait mode. Auto-rotate works
If I start or reboot my tablet in landscape mode. Auto-rotate does not work.
This happens each and every time. It happens on Civato's new FlexReaper ROM & with Smaury's Lightspeed ROM.
Moscow? Thoughts?
Apparently how I finally solved this problem is by flashing the custom ICS bootloader V4 (read: V4 ONLY). Had tried V3, V6 and it doesn't work.
Had tried both custom ROM and stock ROM the problem will still persists with the said bootloader. But once on V4, it just works like a charm.
I have the same issue with the ratation.
Did anyone try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592170# ??
Let me know please

How do I flash custom ICS bootloader V4? Where is it available? And can it be flashed on top of a stock Acer ICS ROM?
FWIW, although I LOVE having Android tablets, issues like this drive me away from Android phones as I can't deal with this sort of bugginess on my daily use phone.
Ahhh, my other half has just phoned me about this, seems it started doing it after she dropped the tablet, I put the ICS update on it the other week, be nice if its a simple fix instead of a me having to take it to bits and repairs it fix..
Although I could give her my Xoom and then use that as an excuse to get myself something new

[Q] Defy+ auto rotation not working?

Hi all, I just got a Defy+ and I noticed that auto rotation is not wotking. Phone is always in portrait mode (auto rotation is enabled in options), I tried couple of roms and result is same. In CM roms compas calibration is working but screen is still stuck in portraid mode. Flashing officialy SBF didnt help....Is this hardver problem or there is still hope for me?
Looking at these pictures Defy on the left (my defy) has problem with compas. On flat surface both show N correctly but when I place them up my defy is showing wrong N. Is there any way to fix this compas error?
Some news...each time I flash SBF auto rotation works only for 5 sec, so I startet to experiment with system/bin/akmd2. I was mowing that file all over the phone memory, giving him diferent permision...and I dont know how but after phone restart auto screen rotation worked. I was so hapy so I decided to flash CM10 and after that flashig autorotation didnt work again. I have tried to repeat steps with akmd2 file but no help. And one strange thing...I have flashed WiUi JB 3.1.21 and in that rom my autorotation is working. Unfortunately that rom is laggy for me and I cant use it. question is why autorotation is working on this wiui rom but not workign on official sbf and other cm roms? Can I use some files from wiui system/bin to put them into CM and make screen autorotation working again? Thx
Solved
All this time autorotation option didnt work and two days ago I have installed game from google market "Traffic Racer". After playing that game for 10 min I noticed that autotoration is working :fingers-crossed: . I thing playing that game with tilt somehove triggered my sensors again and now after flashing many roms autorotation is still workin.

910F lags at 5.1.1 and after downgrade

Hey guys,
after flashing the 5..1.1 rom my Note 4 started to lag at the keyboard after typing few letters or reading the website or in menu.
I use the N910FXXU1COH4 software. The worst part is that it happened yesterday. I havent got lags before (never ever).
Now I've got also lags when I downgrade to 5.0.1
Do you have any idea why this happened? My phone is ofc rooted and I've deleted most of the useless (for me) crap out of it like Instagram, NFC etc.
Do you have this kind of problems with your phone?
Thanks for reply.
I had the same issues you've stated after flashing a 5.1.1 Sweden rom with ODIN.
It lagged like crazy while other aspects were buttery smooth.
After a factory reset and a re-install with ODIN (just the way I did it- not saying it's the correct way of doing it) my phone is running as it should- super quick, smooth and as a Note 4 should be.
So I'd recommend full-wiping and then re-installing the 5.1.1 tar via ODIN.
I've also rooted now too with no issues.
Good luck.
I've got also problem in games. Sometimes the animation just freeze for about 0,5 s and then it runs again. It happens everywhere. And I've got it from yesterday. Dunno whats the problem...
I'm having lags and stutter too my friend, but i'm gonna leave it like this for now and wait for a proper release of 5.1.1 for my country instead of frankenstein mix it like i did now.
If that does not fix the lags im going back to 4.4.4 and never upgrade it again.
Guys, this problem is quite strange.
I've downgraded to 5.0.1 and then to 4.4.4 and every time Ive got lags on keyboard and TW. My phone started to freeze for about 0.5 s - 1 s. Its very annoying and I dont know how to deal with this problem. And it scares me ! Cuz knox is [1] and the warranty went for a walk I guess so i dont know what to do now...
Have you ever this kind of problem with your phone? Even the downgrade did nothing. Before flashing the 5.1.1 system it was fine. Now going down and wiping whole system gives me nothing ;(
Please help! I dont know what to do now...
On cyanogenmod 12.1 works fine. The problem is I guess with the touchwiz systems...
On 5.1.1 touchwiz is also overheating now :/ maybe thats the problem?
So the problem looks like this : After flashing the Swedish 5.1.1 system it all started up.
I can see it in:
1) Games - when it randomly freezes for second
2) Keyboard - after hitting multiply in letters typing something like asidiasjdasijdsaid -> it sudennly stucks and then after about 1 s the button ive smashed shows up in the text message with the lag3
3) touch wiz - after swiping from homescreen to another screen just dont answer and after about again 1s it changes
4) the top bar - with wifi, sounds, brightness, clock, battery etc) also goes down with lag - I swipe with my finger and after 1 second - it react.
5) sometimes it shows the grey suqare at the bottom "Phone is in factory mode" - red letters. It shows only for a while and suddenly disappear.
I've changed every rom now - from 4.4 to 5.1.1 and its still broken! On the Cyanogenmod it works just fine. Something might be broken but I dont know what. Also in cyanogenmod the only game i play have this lags. Other things works fine.
Any solution, what can i do? everything was ok before flashing the 5.1.1? Ive got the EFS folder backuped via TWRP
// EDIT
So - after I've found the backup which I've done just after buying Note I've restored full system (EFS, cache, system etc) and it helped. I guess 5.1.1 flashes makes that my Note 4 had a very bad day.
You can close the topic. My advice is to always have backup ! Glad Ive done it before.

Confirmed fingerprint due to custom ROM

I used Le Max 2 for 1 year with factory ROM 19s without problem. After that I flash Slim7 ROM. After 1 month, fingerprint is dead.
Confirmed flashing ROM causing 95% death of fingerprint sensor.
No death of fingerprint ! Is a software issue i have posted one solution for this issue in the stock rom post
I have flashed loads of different custom ROMs, the only issue I had was a slow sensor on Pixel Experience.
It's highly improbable that a custom ROM breaks the fingerprint sensor hardware, it's probably a software issue.
Try to flash another custom ROM, or revert to official EUI builds. If all else fails, do a QFIL flash (this wipes everything though, so backup your stuff before doing that kind of thing).
The first thing you have to do before any flash, is update the firmware, not the rom, and then flash any rom you want to.
Custom rom never break any part of hardware, only if its a bug and its not working yet.
so 95% of finger print problem, is user related, not rom.
it is no a hardware problem ! mine is dead after one week , after 2 month it s ok , i have installed cuoco and now figerprint is dead but if the fingerprint can take a foto it s a software issue , now i must wait a long time for this issue and the fingerprint was alive , you can try this method :

I have the same with stock rom pedrazamarcos, how do you install that modem. My fingerprint stop working
Just want to share as it's as crazy as it might sound. My Le Max 2 x829 fingerprint miraculously came back from the dead after using the phone for the past 3 years without it. It stopped working since the 4th day after using for the first time back in 2016.
At that time, I searched these forums for solutions as it would be troublesome to ask for refund by returning the phone to China (Gearbest). I ended up using Small Eui Rom since then, but still the fingerprint didn't work. I just thought it was a hardware defect and didn't bother to install different kind of roms to revive it as the results posted here by members were inconsistent.
Then now, when I was about to retire this phone, I looked for some PIE Roms here to try new features of the Android 9.0 as the Small Eui Rom was just stuck at Marshmallow.
I upgraded my TWRP to the latest version for this phone and decided to install Revenge OS Pasta 2.5 Official Rom. I followed their instructions to flash from TWRP and added the 26S zip modem file in the process. Everything went smoothly, and I liked the rom very much and it worked fantastic, even the IR blaster worked flawlessly with the remote app from this rom. But, still no sign of fingerprint revival at that time.
Then, I searched these forums again if there's an updated solution for this old problem. I found a thread mentioned using 446D modem file and suggested that the phone should not be rebooted after installation, but instead shut it down. So, I followed the step and wait for few minutes before turning on the phone again. To my disappointment, it didn't work. The fingerprint was still dead. I didn't install any apps other then ones included in the rom and i didn't even register my Google account.
So, I just turned it off again and charged it overnight. The following evening I decided to turn on the phone again to try adding finger again, and to my surprise, the fingerprint sensor vibrated again for the first time in 3 years! Unfortunately, it failed to register a finger before time out as it could only vibrate 2 times in a row. I rebooted the phone again a few times, but it went silent again as nothing happens when trying to add a finger.
I just shut it down again and left on my desk without charging as the battery still around 76% after a few reboot attempts.
I left it for about 3 days without touching it, until one evening I decided to turn it on again. To my big survive, the long thought dead fingerprint sensor miraculously came back to life! At first, it worked sluggishly as it took a long time to register a finger, but at least it could complete the process for a finger. Fortunately, it performed better for the subsequent 2 fingers. On the 4th finger added, the registration process went smoothly!
However, after the finger registration process were done, the unlocking process were inconsistent as it sometimes worked, but failed most of the time. So, I just turned it off again.
The next day, after turning the phone on and waited a few minutes before using the scanner, the unlocking process were much better as it read faster and faster. And now, it just worked again like it never died! Yes there were still some time it was unresponsive, but it unlocked quite fast when it worked.
Maybe my experience could be useful for anyone who wants to try. I just overwhelmed this could happen!
