I just got my note and am having problems with auto rotate.
I ran the tests in *#0*#
It looks like they all passed fine
But sometimes mine rotates n it's own and when it rotates, it sticks in Horizontal.
I do not understand the calibration instructions for Horizontal and Gyroscope.
For instance, when it says place device on a level surface and press calibrate, does that mean just place it on it's back on a table? Also, after it is done calibrating, should the gyroscope "ball" on that page move when you move the device? Mine is always stationary.
On the horizontal calibration, how do you position the device before you hit the calibrate button? Should it be landscape or portrait?
IMO they don't explain these very well and it's confusing how to set this up.
Yes, just place it on a table or the floor. Not sure with the gyroscope since i don't have the Note yet, but i imagine the ball moves.
If this is a bug it's a software bug. All Desire HD owners including me had the auto rotate bug when it got released. These are bugs that's very common on freshly released Android devices, and it will get fixed.

Here's the question I have:
I only have 30 days for return if it's broken. Nobody else has complained about auto rotate yet and I would think that would come out pretty fast. I figured out mine had a problem 30 seconds out of the box.
Hi les_garten (another maemo/TMO refugee here!) - I've had my note for over a week, haven't seen any spontaneous rotations at all. I calibrated my gyro on day 1 though I think you don't ned to unless you are having problems. Once calibrated, the blue ball just sits in the centre of the circles, it doesn't move at all.

Thanx for that info! Mine also rotates when I turn horizontal, then won't go back into portrait.
How do you do the Horizontal calibration. Do you stand it on it's edge in landscape mode?
I'll never give Nokia another Nickel! Great idea with dismal execution.
horizontal calibration just involves sitting it flat on a flat surface. After calibration the ball can be "rolled" across both axes - like I said above, for me at least the gyro calibration screen does not allow the ball to roll at all either before or after calibration (hope that's what's supposed to happen, I've never had a phone with a gyro before, I would have assumed the ball was meant to move in response to tilt/turn ....

if you go into the dialer and dial *#0*#
then do sensors and run the Gyro tests and graph, it seems to be fine.
I have to keep auto rotate off.
It will rotate Landscape, but won't return to portrait.
It wil flip Landscape on one side and Landscapeon the other side, but won't do portrait, till auto rotate is turned off.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?
I guess I could whack it and start over, but that blows! That would at least tell me something I guess.
It's really irritating. And I would hate to keep it if it is broke.
I have the auto rotate bug also...you need to try many times before it will rotate... kind of embarrsing.. but I am sure it will be fixed first..but sometimes I wonder..if samsung have tired the phone at all before they ship it...such fundamental feature should work...without any problems

Thanx. I just did mine last night as well.
Very happy now!
i just got a galaxy note 3 weeks ago and it is running gingerbread 2.3.6
i have the same problem for the auto rotation problem, when i test the gyro and horizontal calibration, the ball doesnt move or move in a very laggy motion, when i lever my phone to a certain angle in all direction, the ball will not move in some area of the display. i had calibrated once before it has this problem, the ball move smoothly in any angle...now my message will auto rotate to landscape while i holding it in potrait...please help
I can't actually help fix anything - but if you enter *#0*# in the dialer and then select "sensor" from the LCD tests, then "image test" (under accelerometer sensor) you'll get a picture of a dog whichshould rotate between portrait & landscape as you rotate the phone, and there is an overlayed real time display of x and y axis angles as registered by the accelerometer.
This test should at least show whether the h/w is working or not.
Fix here

I can fix that.This is from galaxy S2 but i dont knows how for Note, i try and working for Note. But after install from CWM, i see Setting/Display/ Gyroscope calibrationand Horizontal calibration. It not working. I was very afraid and i flash new rom N7000ZSLPF---------4.0.3 http://hotfile.com/dl/156123968/e690f65/N7000ZSLPF_N7000OZSLPF_OZS.zip.html
And now Gyroscope not work but rotation is work good.
Sorry my English

dude plz helppp......................I have to keep auto rotate off.:crying::crying:
It will rotate Landscape, but won't return to portrait.
It wil flip Landscape on one side and Landscapeon the other side, but won't do portrait, till auto rotate is turned off.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?

It's really irritating. And I dont wat to do:crying::crying::crying::crying:

Hi All!
I had recently bought my mother an S4 i9506, and recently she has switched to a flip cover (with a magnet - what I think to have caused the problem)
Now what happens is if anyone's finger or any object for that matter covers any one of the two sensors next to the earpiece (the 2 that are directly next to each other with the right one of bigger size) the screen turns black until the object is taken away.
[EDIT] its the proximity/gesture sensor
Now this is really annoying and internet searching has turned up nothing of use to me, So any help is welcome.
It just renders the phone useless practically as the sensor seems super sensitive and I have no Idea of how to at least switch it off.
Thanks in advance
i9506 - android 4.3 build XXUUBML6
Not Root
Thanks in advance
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
The phone model is a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime G530AZ.
It is on stock 5.1.1 firmware.
Experiencing the problems in a couple different ways. The first instance that I'll mention involves the keyboard while in the stock messaging app.
The area that you press on to bring up the keyboard in order to compose the message is completely unresponsive while the phone is turned vertical with screen in portrait mode .... now, I found out today that if I turn the phone sideways/ horizontally and the screen rotates into landscape mode, then the messaging area becomes responsive and the keyboard pops up just as it should without any problems.
The next instance with the issues that I mention is with playing certain games from the Google play store such as candy crush ... etc.
While the screen is vertical, with the rotation in portrait mode, then the touch screen becomes unresponsive with certain aspects of the game which involves usually, tracing a line with your finger across various Adams on the game screen... Though if the screen is rotated into landscape mode attempting the same action which the touchscreen was previously unresponsive to suddenly works like it should /Touchscreen working normal versus how it was working whilst in landscape mode
I know there's gotta be a fix for this I mean it really does not seem like a hardware is you though i'm not a professional So I'm reaching out to everyone here that might possibly be able to help... If anything at least maybe direct me the right direction for a fix or solution you-know-what I mean ...
Just recently achieved root user access with KingRoot apk ... Though the issues with the touchscreen began long before achieving the root user access so I'm fairly positive that that is not the reason for the problems due to that fact .
Now i've tried looking everywhere online and google search is not returning any where close to the results that I am looking for about this issue...
Any and all assistance/advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Please and thank you for your time ...
Hello everybody,
I have a accidentally cracked Pixel 4. The Display cracks after it falls from around one meter height. I decided to fix the screen and buy a new one. It seems to be not an original Bit the board of the new and the old screen seems to be exactly the same. I opened the phone and replace the screen without any damage. After the screen was inserted I test it if it woks. Success! Everything works (I not tested the touch Funktion yet) after I build most of the things together I give it another try and I recognized that the touch Funktion does not work. No matter how hard I press or hold the connector down etc. I tried many things also a Hard Reset. I never seen such problem before. And my question is: is this the screen, the phone or a software problem? And how I can fix this issue? I am completely confused because I fixed many phones but something like this is new. Regularly the complete Amoled does not work.
If I go to the left upper corner, there is some movement in the screen and this also stays if I release my finger (video).
