After updating Lineage on 6-8-18 (first update since initial install), automatic screen rotation is completely unresponsive. Rotating the device will not change screen rotation at all, and it will stay in portrait orientation indefinitely. The only exception is when watching videos fullscreen, when it will shift to landscape, but only after manually selecting the fullscreen option. Restarting the phone will fix this for a couple hours at most, but it stops working soon afterwards. Have only been able to rotate the screen manually via an app.

Hi,
when i open my wizard to show the keyboard, i noticed that the screen is put into landscape mode just before some switch is activated.
When i fully open the screen since yesterday my right upper part of the screen seems not to work anymore. So i can not use the OK button, the sound volume, etc. My Start button is working.
Also the calendar is automatically started when i open up the keyboard.
When i put back the screen to portait mode just a tiny bit (just after the locking and before the screen goes to portrait mode) the screen starts working like it is supposed to be in landscape mode eg. all buttons are working again?
I find automatic screen rotation to be very annoying, so I have it turned off. However there are some times when I need to go into landscape mode. For my previous phone - Samsung Omnia - I had set screen rotation to occur by clicking one of the hardware keys. Is this possible on the Vibrant?
I am running stock android 2.2.1 on my N1. Since last night, I've noticed that my home screen would reorient itself according to whichever way my phone was being held. It even did upside down. I thought that screen orientation only worked inside apps and not the home screen. I restarted the phone just now and the glitch is gone. Having the ability to reorient the home screen does not matter to me, but I'm very curious as to why and how it occurs.
OK I've had this happen to me for at least three days now and it's finally to the point where I'm posting to see if anyone else has experienced it. I use the Vega in landscape virtually all the time and because of that I lock it in that orientation. However, once or twice an hour the screen will briefly flip to portrait (power button would be on the left in that orientation) then back to landscape. It's very brief and as I said it flips back just as quickly but it's very annoying. It has happened while watching videos too which is more annoying as it takes longer than a browser to change orientation while playing.
I've tried recalibrating it, rebooting the tablet and everything short of reflashing the ROM. I'm really hoping to avoid reflashing to test it as I've finally got the screen calibrated to an almost perfect level thanks to the other calibration app on the MoDaCo forums. Has anyone else had this behaviour before? If so, have you found a fix?
I do not have your exact problem but something similar. Just now I picked mine up and screen was upside down (when the device was right side up i.e. buttons at top and right). I checked the rotation button and it was not locked. When I rotate the device it will not switch rotation at all - when I go into settings and turn off auto-rotation it flips right-side up. It seems like the accelerometer is knackered but it would seem to be working in order to flip it when auto-rotation is switched off. The daft thing is that in various screens it flips to being right side up. It boots up the right way round and the lock screen is the right way round but as soon as unlocked it flips upside down. I too have tried rebooting and all sorts - thinking of flashing it as a last resort.
I seem to have fixed this now. I use quickboot and on a whim rather using my reboot shortcut I used power off. I then used the power button to start up with the rotation lock switched on - when I turned it off once booted it was back to normal. I suspect the rotation switch bit was a red herring - I reckon the shutdown/restart fixed it.
settngs>g sensor>games mode can cause some accelerometer antics try turning on and off
What does the gsensor mode do when activated, as I haven't seen any difference?
Has anybody experienced issues with turning the screen on and having whatever app you had opened last be in landscape mode?
Like I turned the screen off with the phone in portrait,, then laid the phone down flat on its back, not on any angle,, then turn the phone on and have the screen be in landscape mode.
This has so far happened a lot on texting and messaging apps.
If I have Messenger (stock SMS) open in Portrait and shut the screen off, then rotate to Landscape and turn the screen back on, it is in portrait, but immediately switches to landscape. It is not already in landscape mode.
I generally use Tasker to lock everything into portrait and use the Quick Settings toggle to turn autorotate on if needed for an app. Games that only work in landscape will override to landscape automatically when they launch.
Yesterday, i had the messenger app stuck in landscape mode. I couldn't make it go into portrait mode no matter what i did. I'm not sure how i got it to that state, but a reboot fixed it
