I'd be lucky to have my phone stuck in landscape mode Cuz usually you can't do that on the launcher without a rotation locker app. But anyway, try restarting your phone. If your lock screen goes sideways immediately, or your boot animation goes sideways before the lock screen, it has to be a system setting or kernel declaration. If your lockscreen stays portrait for >5 seconds but then goes sideways, it's an APP that's doing it!! Check for any games you've installed, any games that lock sideways and force quite them+clear data. See if that does it.
Post back your results, and I'll try to help you more,

I tied all the usual tricks. Restarts, battey pull, eben went into bootloader and cleared cache. No go. Have no clue how it hppened and couldnt seem to remedy. I ended up doing a factory restore. All good for now.
Forgot to backup my apps and so its taking a bit longer to get back to my old setup

That's weird.. a problem that shouldn't require a factory reset. I'm sure it was some app with load-on-boot privilege or some setting somewhere. I'd still like to know what caused it.

I couldn't find anything. I looked everywhere. It was weird because i had just pulled it out of my pocket to check the time. Lockscreen looked the same as always. I noticed i had a missed sms so I unlocked it to respond and was then stuck in landscape. I didn't notice if it went right to landscape or not. Funny thing is I could rotate the screen 180 and the image would be totally inverted. Made me think the gyroscope sensor was on the fritz. Wasn't there a way they could be calibrated in the past?

what launcher are you using?
Switch back to stock TouchWiz to validate if it's hardware issue - but it's most likely just a setting in your launcher.

What can I do to fix this? Restarting the phone always fixes it (although that's not really a "solution" per se), sometimes restarting the phone app fixes it. Sometimes the keypad is there, but is up and to the right (off the edge of the screen, covering the leftmost side of the list of calls).
i think i had the same problem. try changing to landscape and back to normal.

My phone dialer doesn't rotate...
Yes, annoying this. I got the problem the other day then things went back to normal after a soft boot. I am aware that rotating the app does fix the problem (until the next time) but have never tried it.
To get your phone app to rotate, install BSB Tweaks. Once done select the phone app as an item to be rotated which should give you what you are looking for.

Thanks, this fixed it!
Wondering if there's been a better solution uncovered to this than "rotate the phone". That's not very fluid since the phone tends to rotate/unrotate in call and the keypad disappears again, making using menu options in voicemail (for example) much more of a pain than it needs to be.
Don't even understand how this is a problem, given that my TP2 had the same dialler and had no problems...
Bump ...
No chance for a response here...?

BTW, the dialpad issue has been fixed for at least two months now - there's a dll or a cab floating around somewhere

Would really like to find these...searching the forums yields nothing...
Still hoping for a reply...
Try overwriting the dll posted by fards with total commander or resco. Using wm 6.5 myself so haven.t tested.

Randon wallpaper size change

I'm enjoying my N10 but randomly the size of my screen changes. Maybe it's not all that random because it happens when I change orientation BUT it's not consistent. I can get it back to the smaller image by turning the tablet around and opening and closing apps but it's pretty ridiculous and I'm inclined to ignore it but it surely isn't right. I don't seem to find a thread where anyone else is having this problem. I suppose if I changed to a pattern of snowflakes I might not notice it but the snowmen shouldn't be changing sizes. btw I am using ADW Launcher and hope that's not the problem becasue I like it's features.
Anyone?

I used to have the same problem with my nexus 7 and I was unrooted and completely stock running no launchers. So it's not that. But still... It's something lol.
try the app: "Simple Image Wallpaper"... after installation its not under the app drawer but is found by clicking and holding on the main screen, clicking wallpaper, and then selecting "Simple Image Wallpaper" and then just going through the settings. you can also have it change images for when you rotate it so you can have the snow one on landscape and a different one for portrait mode.

Excellent and thanks. The app actually installs under "live wallpapers". It took me a minute to find it.

my screen turns "on" itself to standby mode

Hello, when it happens something that I do not understand with my N4.
Whenever I lock my N4 pressing the button the screen turns off after a few seconds but then (this is random) it turns back on itself, arises on the lockscreen (my home is a diagram) and shuts itself anew after 2 minutes (because it's my time to sleep after non-use).
It breaks my head.
Have you any idea?.
Any special app ?
I do not know, this is not for a particular app.
When I use my phone normally and I put it to sleep, it locks, but the screen turns off after a few seconds the screen turns on for no reason.
And this happens several times per hour alone.
Sorry for my bad english, i am french.
I have the exact same thing! It's annoying! I presume it's a program I installed, but I don't know which. And I'm too lazy to uninstall them one by one... Any program I can use to see what's waking the screen? I'm not rooted btw...
Yes I think that is the cause of a program but I do not know which.
Is there an application to list the process?
Have you installed 'flipturn' or whatever it's called app ?
I don't have an app called flipturn. I don't have any app that starts with the word flip...
Me too i dont have an app called flipturn..
If you don't have any "special" app, I would do a factory reset
It's not bothering me so much that I want to lose all my save data by doing a factory reset....
I had this issue and figured out how to fix it. Problem is, I don't remember how I fixed it. I think it was due to an app waking my phone. Check your apps to see if any of them have the permission to wake your device.

So I made ​​the restoration, i havent had the problem for more than 24 hours (I know because I watched all the time to see if it was ok or not after each lock, I watched as the one for minute)
But since today is the problem recurred.
So what I'll do, I'll redo a restore with the factory image but not new to reinstall my applications because it has to be somewhat of a blind application of the play.
Because I do not think the problem is hardware or it will be declared soon after the restoration, or it is returned after a ten hour (just after installing all my applications because I do not make on).
Its an apk, I had that problem with this apk..

I wish I had that app so I could just remove it. Unfortunately I've never installed that app so must be another app.

[Q] Galaxy S4 standby doesnt work

So i've had the S4 since it got released and i like it,
but for some reason the standby doesnt work at all.. i have it set to turn off the screen after 30 secs of idle and it does not work.
anyone else having this issue?
mine works fine. see what apps have been installed. maybe some app requires not to go in standby and prevents the screen to go off

Have similar problem - screen do not off completely. Does not mateer what time I chose, does not matter if smart stay is on or off. I do not have it's icon visible in the status bar whet it is off. Anyway screen is always on. Any help?
Same problem here. The phone just dims its screen but it never shuts it off.
This is quite annoying when the phone lights up to show the low batt warning and just drains all its remaining energy. Perfect.

Try disabling all smart stay options (smart pause could still be on).

Seems that I found the reason. But still do not have permanent solution. After restart screen went off without problem. After running some application it became constantly on again. When I closed some applications (long press home button and swipe open applications) screen also turned off normally. So probably some application makes such a problem. Have to check which one.

Blue notification led stuck on.

Ok, this is really starting to annoy me. My notification light is stuck on blue ALL THE TIME. I have no notifications and restarting doesn't fix it. Whenever there's actually something for to be notifying me of it also pulses the colour it should be and mixes with the blue light. It's weird. I'll upload a picture in a minute.

my Wife's phone has the same problem. I have yet to figure out what is causing it. I've done everything except a factory reset since she doesn't want me to do that. I did notice when I installed the last update from Google while it was rebooting the blue light stayed on.

No, I don't want to factory reset either... Might try reinstalling the entire 4.3 factory image without wiping my personal data. Tell me if you figure it out

OK, last night I updated a whole lot if apps and this morning the light was finally off. I can't see how the apps could have been the problem because the light stayed on even in recovery mode.
Anyway, I'm happy now because it's gone.
