Greetings,
I just upgraded my redmi note 7 to miui 12 android 10. (I'm using the xiaomi Europe ROM) All is good except I'm facing a problem that I didn't have on Android 9... My screen can rotate upside down (reversed portrait)! Normally a screen should only rotate to portrait and landscape.
This is very annoying for me because when lying down I have to enable and disable the rotation to use the phone every time
My phone is rooted if that helps.
Thank you.

Hi,
I've got a problem with the accelerometer of my nexus 10, when I'm in automatic rotation mode the devise doesn't rotate automatiquely when I rotate it. And when an application force the portrait mode I have to desactivate the automatic rotation mode to go back in landscape mode.
Thanks in advance
Cyril
I believe GPS Status & Toolbox can re-calibrate the accelerometer (along with Compass, and get AGPS data), might be worth looking into
Fixed my screen orientation problem.
I spent a good four hours or so trying to figure out why my screen orientation wasn't working properly even after a reboot and boot into safe mode. I could only get one portrait with buttons on bottom and had to rotate an extra 30 degrees or less than 1 degree to cause it to flip between landscape orientations. Loaded up Google Skymaps and the Horizon was off by about 30 degrees in landscape, but fine in portrait. First went and downloaded Android Sensor Box and found the X-axis would run up to +15.5 and only -3.7. Anyways the calibration reset in GPS Status & Tool Box 4.0.1 fixed it immediately.
Awesome call on that program espionage724 would have never found it if I didn't find this thread and your post.
Edit it came back although a combination of running the program and hitting the lock button seemed to fix it. This time the axis offset was reversed though. Probably an operating system bug and only seemed to come back after I attached an OTG USB cable so =/ ?
Same problem here
I have the same problem with a new Nexus 10. The rotation did not work in any application at any time. With the Sensor Toolbox, I see that the sensor is working to some extend. Recalibrating with the GPS Status did not change anything.
Is this a hardware defect, so that I should send mine back to Google?
If you happen to get the orientation working, I'd be happy if you share it with me.
After purchasing a Nexus 7 and fairly satisfied with it, I decided to purchase a Nexus 10 from Walmart since I want a bigger monitor estate and this 7 inches tablet start to get annoying when I read books on it. When I first used it, it was an awesome experience but then it goes downhill as soon as I upgraded it to 4.2.2.
One of the main reason why I want to get rid of my nexus 7 is because the screen keeps flickering if I am in a dark room and guess what kind of problem I have with the nexus 10? It is the auto brightness!!! If I understand this device correctly, the sensor is on the right hand side beside the camera (portrait mode, volume button on the right) and I am right handed. So now whenever I type something, I think I accidentally cover the sensor and the auto brightness kicks in and once I am done typing or lift up my hand, then the auto brightness kicks in again. It really annoys the hell out of me and please don't tell me the solution is to turn off the auto brightness. I mean the auto brightness option is there for a reason.
Does anyone have the same problem?

That is just the way you are typing, I guess.. If you don't want to Change the way you type (sensor would be more than half way up the screen, keyboard is only 1/3)..why not try another keyboard in landscape mode? I am using swiftkey 3 for tablet, split keyboard across both halves of the screen and like it much better than full keyboard in portrait mode.
Change they way you use it or turn off the sensor would be the only options. Rotate it to other positions and try not to activate it is the only other option.(you can use it with sensors/switches anywhere.. If you are just holding it with your left, then rotate switches into your left... Fix the problem with your right activating the sensor.)
Thank you for the respond. I would have thought it is due to design issue. I mean why they put the sensor on the right. There must be someone else is having this issue but then I don't see any posts about it so it must be the user.
Today is the 2nd day only so maybe I can change the way how I type or browse (I also notice the auto brightness issue when I browse online). I don't have this issue with other brand tablet though.

Hi All,
It has been almost a week for my new nexus 10 was unable to rotate the screen by it self if i hold it side ways. I check and make sure the rotate lock is NOT on. I was running on a stock ROM. Then I did a factory reset in the setting. Nothing Change
I update the OTA 4.2.2. Nothing Change
I Root it again then flashed PARANOIDANDROID 3.1 RC [AOSP 4.2.2 Base - Nexus 10] [Hybrid] - Nothing change
At this point I am not able to make the screen rotate by itself. If the screen is in horizontal mode, If i go into a app that is vertical, then it will stock in vertical mode.
I download the android sensor box. shows that my accelerometer sensor and orientation sensor is off. But I do not know how to re calibrate it.
HELP
Hi all,
after the upgrade to KitKat 4.4.2 I'm having some problem such as application root permission loss (AdAware) and, the most boring, screen rotation malfunction.
Some weeks ago, it started blocking the screen in portrait and the accelerometer stop working. It was possible to rotate to landscape the screen only with specific screen rotation apps or via games that set the rotation by their self. Any reboot didn't solve the issue but "magically" every malfunction disappeared after some days of sickness ! LOL
Some days ago the problem back on my Nexus but with some variations. I turn on the tablet and the screen keep in portrait and after some minutes it turn to landscape automatically. No way to restore it to portrait except with a reboot, any other third part application can only turn the screen to reverse portrait or landscape or reverse landscape!
Any ideas about this pain in the back?
Thanx
