Delay when rotating phone 90 degrees - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Can't help but notice that when I rotate my phone on any screen (it doesn't seem to matter) there's quite a delay for the screen to rotate 90 degrees -- is there any way to shorten this delay?

it has been the same for me with all my android phones at some point it gets really slow

Mine lags too when rotating. Sometimes I have to shake it to get the sensor to recognize it's rotated. Galaxy S8 snapdragon

T-MO HD2 Screen rotation issues

T-Mobile HD2.
Im having issues with my screen not staying rotated. When im in a browser or pretty much anything. My screen will rotate just fine to landscape view but it only stays rotated for about 2 seconds or so then it flips back. I haven't made any changes in the last week and this just started yesterday.
anyone have any advice for me?

minor annoyance with motion sensor

I only have to tilt my phone about 10 to 15 degrees to the left to cause the screen to flip to landscape, I have to tilt the phone 40 degrees to the right to do the same which is sort of what I expect. a slight twist of the wrist to the left while using the phone portrait is all it takes and simple things like laying it on my desk in front of me cause it to flip to landscape if I'm not careful. each day I get more annoyed with this behavior, anyone else having motion sensor issues?

On many devices the sensor is not calibrated properly out of the box. You can easily do this yourself, but you need to root your phone.

Touch screen has a seizure once in a while

At random intervals when I use my G2 the touch screen will tweak out and repeat touches like 5 times in 1/4 of a second and it will get hard to use the UI because it opens and closes random apps by touching randomly so fast.
Could it be my case? It wraps around the front of the phone and gets almost on the edge of the display.
Usually turning the screen off and on seems to fix it

Gyro-sensor issue?

I've had my nexus 6p for about two months now, and yesterday, something weird happened to my gyro sensor. It seems to be completely out of place, not allowing me to rotate my phone in any app in any way. Occurred to anyone else?

The only related issue I've had is when it's laying flat and displaying in portrait, then I open an app and it opens in landscape. Kind of annoying.
I'd ensure rotation is enabled in display settings, and use an app like Sensors Multitool, under rotation vector it will tell you if the sensor is responding to movement at all. If it's not responding it's likely a stuck sensor. Either defective, stuck in position from a fall, or is held in place by static (in which case powering it off for 5 minutes should get it working again temporarily). If the app shows that it's responding to movement but still not rotating, I'd suggest a factory reset.

i left it off for 12 hours and it works perfectly now!
Now that you mention it ive had issues with it locking in landscape--recently in past 24 hours. Havent looked too much into it but toggling auto rotate usually fixes it. Thought it was my launcher (recently switched to asap) but i dunno....never had this issue before yesterday--closest thing would be its TOO sensitive and switches mode with the slightest movement. But thats not the same as it locking up in landscape

Screen rotation issues

Hey guys. Just got my oneplus 5 and I love it. My only issue is how aggressively it goes from portrait to landscape. I tilt it not even 30 degrees and it goes into landscape which gets very annoying, fast.
Anyone experiencing this issue? Any fixes or ways to calibrate?
So I'm the only one who has the screen going to landscape all the time, with the slightest of tilts? Do I have a faulty device?
To reproduce the issue just take another phone and watch a YouTube video in portrait mode. Put both phones side by side and start tilting. The OnePlus 5 will switch to Landscape mode before the phone is horizontal. My s8+ only switches when my phone is in horizontal position.
Yeah i don't keep my rotation on all the time so I just checked it. Mine is fine too 45 degrees. Once I go more then that, it flips.
Could be your device
hi,
got my phone last week and have the same agressive behavior. Hope an update will fix that
There's actually a thread on the oneplus forum about it. I think it could be related to the inverted display #jellygate
same here, it's about the calibration of the orientation sensor... just stop it with the inverted display thing, i think the engineers at OnePlus know better than some of us about tech, they didn't do it unintentionally

Can confirm this is happening to me too. The rotation is extremely sensitive
