Is anyone besides me having a problem with their accelerometer being way off? When I use a driving game the screen is in landscape but the accelerometer acts as if it is in portrait.
Is there a fix for this? I've looked at the Galaxy and Nexus One fixes and they don't work for our device. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi My screen crashes in portrait if i slide the keyboard out it works fine in landscape. This doesnt happen all the time but i have noticed it happening more often than not nowdays.
Anyone know how to fix this.
Cheers
hi i have the same problem...
Any one got any ideas ?
Hi all,
My phone has been acting weird recently. Whenever i access the phone app, the screen goes into landscape mode without me tilting the phone. It doesn't seem like it is able to escape the landscape mode. This is also true for the sms app. Does anyone else have the same problem, and does anyone know how to fix this. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Have you tried recalibrating the G-Sensor?
If that doesn't work you can try violently shaking the phone or give a slight knock on the sides.
Worked for my wife's iPhone. Never had the problem again after that.
Rencently, the auto rotation stops working sometimes. I found this when viewing photos from Gallery app( stock) when switching between vertical and landscape photos. I turned on Screen rotation already. But it won't rotate. I thought it's hardware problem but a reboot solved the problem.
It's really annoying when I play racing games and use gyroscope as control. The car just keep spinning! Again, a reboot solved the problem. But it will come back always. I still can't decide whether it's a software or hardware problem? Os is stock 4.4.2 xxUenb1.
I noticed the auto screen rotation does not work well at all. If I turn the auto rotate on, the screen is stuck in the landscape orientation and never returns to portrait. This is very annoying and I have turn off auto rotate, but then this is again annoying when watching videos and playing games. Then I tried to search for some topics online. It seems that there are some others reporting the similar issue for other devices running Android 4.4.2(but not galaxy note 3). I do not know my problem is prevalent, it is a hardware or software (firmware) issue. Also, the accelerometer works for first hour or so after rebooting, but then freezes. Please help urgently.

Can anyone confirm that screen only rotates when the phone is almost perpendicular to the ground? Is this a kernel or a hardware issue of my phone. Is it supposed to be like that?
