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.

I've noticed that since updating to 4.4 that my sensors are freezing.
I noticed it when I went to use SMS and the screen immediately switched to landscape and would not rotate back when I held the phone upright. I unchecked the auto rotate in the settings and it returned to upright. I also noticed at the same time that the screen was a little dark and was not auto adjusting the brightness.
From the phone I entered *#0*# to get the test page and on opening the sensors they where all stuck solid. Only the proximity would work.
Sensor Hub test shows the STM32 pass.
The only way to fix it is to power off and back on. A re-start does not fix the issue.
I suspect a hardware problem. Anyone else seen this before?

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

Try this app to recalibrate accelerometer and compass it fixes mine problems https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2
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.
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 ...
Hey guys. Just got my oneplus 5 and I love it. My only issue is how aggressively it goes from portrait to landscape. I tilt it not even 30 degrees and it goes into landscape which gets very annoying, fast.
Anyone experiencing this issue? Any fixes or ways to calibrate?
So I'm the only one who has the screen going to landscape all the time, with the slightest of tilts? Do I have a faulty device?
To reproduce the issue just take another phone and watch a YouTube video in portrait mode. Put both phones side by side and start tilting. The OnePlus 5 will switch to Landscape mode before the phone is horizontal. My s8+ only switches when my phone is in horizontal position.
Yeah i don't keep my rotation on all the time so I just checked it. Mine is fine too 45 degrees. Once I go more then that, it flips.
Could be your device
hi,
got my phone last week and have the same agressive behavior. Hope an update will fix that
There's actually a thread on the oneplus forum about it. I think it could be related to the inverted display #jellygate
same here, it's about the calibration of the orientation sensor... just stop it with the inverted display thing, i think the engineers at OnePlus know better than some of us about tech, they didn't do it unintentionally

Can confirm this is happening to me too. The rotation is extremely sensitive
