Auto-rotate stopped working (temp fix, then keeps breaking) - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Update: Still not fixed
I got a rooted LG V20 H918 still on nougat, I rooted almost a year ago with no problems. About 2 weeks ago, auto-rotate stopped working, I fixed it with a restart and about 3 days later it would stop working again and I'd use the same fix.
UNTIL, 2 or 3 days ago, it stopped working, a restart would't work and I searched the web all over trying every solution I could find and none worked. Then my phone got really hot and started restarting on its own every few minutes. sometimes its like a full restart and sometimes it feels like a soft reboot and much quicker. Everytime it would restart it would say "Android is upgrading 100%".
I then decided to go into TWRP and wipe the cache and dalvik cache, this was my SOLUTION. hurray! My phone took about 10 minutes to start after the dalvik cache wipe and Auto-rotate was finally working, my phone wasn't overheating, and everything was normal.
Until Today! It stopped working and restarting all over again I really don't want to have to keep wiping the cache and dalvik cache every 2 or 3 days.
Im thinking there is an app or something is stopping the gyroscope from working, so when i wipe the cache it temporarily works until it catches up again.
Any ideas on what I can do to find the culprit?
Edit #1: Cleared cache only in TWRP, didn't fix the problem. Just cleared dalvik cache waiting for reboot.
Edit #2: Just cleared Dalvik cache, still not working, now none of my solutions are working. Don't know what to do.
EDIT#3: I found my solution, the only reason I state it's temporary is because the last two things I did that fixed it only last a day or two. Although, I remember someone mentioning after they uninstalled nova launcher they never had a problem again. But I had Nova launcher forever and never had a problem, I think the problem for me started after I Installed the new version of Youtube vanced and micro G, so I disabled Nova launcher, vanced, and micro G. Restarted my phone and so far my auto-rotate works. Hopefully, this will be my permanent solution.
EDIT #4: Stopped working again.
TLDR: Found temp fixes, none work anymore. auto rotate don't work and phone restarts maybe every 5-15 min.

bump?

Interesting thread.
I have very similar problem with my G4.
Did you find solution for it?
I'm thinking of disabling gyroscope but don't know how!

Help network keep crashing

Hi,
The problem that I have is that everytime I turn on my S4 "Messages" crashes and afterwards "com.android.phone" keeps crashing.
It started when I was on Google Chrome Beta where I got a few crash notifications (I think it was 2, don't remember). I didn't think much about it then, but when I went to the Play Store to install Chrome, where it said it was already installed. Recently I have removed a lot of the bloatware including Chrome on the S4 and nothing happened by it and I have restarted my phone a few times after that. But in the Play Store when I clicked on the uninstall button it got stuck on uninstalling (most likely because it wasn't installed in the first place) and when I restarted my phone thinking it might solve the problem. The whole problem with "Messages" crashing and afterwards "com.android.phone" crashing again and again, started.
Now I have to keep Flight mode turned on or I can't even use my mobile.
I have tried following solutions:
- Wiped Cache & Dalvik Cache
- Factory Reset
- Reinstalled all the bloatware
- Reinserted SIM card
- Removed sdcard
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 (XXUAMDM) - Root - Stock rom
I hope someone can help me figure out how to fix this.
I found out what the problem was. I didn't reinstall all the bloatware. I only got the first 20 installed instead of them all. So now it works again.

Galaxy s4 Framework problem

Hello,
A few hours ago, the 3 minitframework app had a message that said that my framework was out of date, so I downloaded the 3.2 version (wich is the app version), flashed it and my phone started to reboot itself over and over again. I tried reseting setting, wiping chache and dalvyk cache and also flashing back the old framework but nothing seems to work. I also tried rebboting into safe mode but when my phone is in the main screen, it reboots itself again and again.
Please help me with this issue cause I dont now what to do.

Weird behaviour on boot?

Hey,
The last time I updated Cataclysm I had some issues and needed to restore from a backup. Everything went fine afterwards and the phone is behaving normally as far as I can tell. But I am getting the "Starting apps" dialog on every boot. Is this normal?
I tried clearing cache and dalvik but, not only didn't it fix it, that "Upgrading apps" dialog that goes over all your apps on the first boot did not show. Shouldn't it show every time you clear the dalvik cache?
Thanks
It's normal.
Thanks. So the Starting apps dialog is normal. But shouldn't it optimize my apps every time I cleared the dalvik cache?

No not necessarily. If you have not changed or flashed anything.
Really thought that should happen. Oh well, glad everything is fine. Thanks!
I just got a Nexus 5 this past Wednesday and it has 6.0.1 on it, I did a Factory reset after the 6.0.1 ROM flash, On the first reboot it did "Starting apps" at boot for 2 seconds, Messed with stuff for a bit then rebooted didnt see the stating apps again, But after a day and a half I rebooted and saw the Starting apps at boot it lasted for about 5 seconds, So I rebooted just now to see if it would say it again but it didnt it booted right up without saying it.
It's weird im not sure why it does this, My Moto G 3rd Gen did this same bahavior when it was on Lollipop 5.1.1 but with that one it said "Optimizing Boot", Its like the longer you let it sit in between reboots it will do it, everything seems to work fine still but its very strange.
I just found it weird because I don't remember it happening before I restored a Nandroid. And it didn't happen on my Nexus 5 on 5.1.1. Well, truth is, everything is running fine so I won't worry too much.
Thanks for sharing your experience
Yeah same here

BT doesn't turn on

Hi,
I have a rather strange problem: since this morning, BT refuses to turn on. I've alreaddy reflashed the latest software version (N910FXXS1COK2_N910FOXA1COJ3_DBT), cleared cache and dalvik-cache, deleted cache and data of the bluetooth app and even deactivated all XPosed Modules, but nothing helped. I've recorded a catlog, maybe someone here can see what is preventing it to turn on. I don't really have any idea what could have been happened. I tried to make an backup with TitaniumBackup which seemd to have failed because I turned off the screen, because it had'nt backed up much about an hour later when I looked for it.
Ok, after wiping about everything in TWRP and reflashing firmware again, bluetooth is finally working. But does annyone know how this could be fixed the next time without wiping everything?
probably part of the bluetooth on the software side got screwed up.

LineageOS 14.1 Default clock keeps stopping at launch. (solved)

Hello people, well...The title says it all, i recently flashed LineageOS on my phone, (about 3 weeks ago) it's gone flawlessly till now, but this morning i noticed the default clock app, crashes instantly when i try to open it (i used it few times in this time frame, but i confirm it was working previously).
I already tried to update the rom to the last nightly, tried disabling/reenabling the app, and also tried to install the newest version i could found here, didn't help... any thoughts?
Nevermind, fixed by uninstalling all the updates of the app, disabling the apps and forcing stop, then i went to twrp, i cleaned dalvik/art cache, waited for the boot and it started working again.
