Hello my dearest friends, instead of auto rotation not working, I'm having a different issue on this S4, everytime I put the phone in landscape mode, it turns upside down from the angle I turned (eg. I turn the phone 270º and it turns the screen 90º). When I rotate to landscape mode, the only way to return to 0º is turning the phone upside down (like if 0º is on the top of the earphone speaker, not on the bottom)
I thinks this is related to Gyroscope sensor with problem, but since it's still working, but just can't rotate correctly, I was thinking, SINCE I'M ROOTED on LOLLIPOP, if isn't there a workaround for this issue by inverting the Gyroscopic sensors using xposed module or some other software (I even tried to edit build.prop but the line supposed to be there wasn't found)
Thanks in advance!

I just got a hold of a mytouch 3g with a defective accelerometer (due to water damage) and wont adjust orientation according to the way im holding the phone. its stuck in portrait view all the time and was wondering if there's a means to:
A. Toggle between landscape and portrait mode (with an app)
B. Emulate the accelerometer to report the necessary values to keep the phone in landscape mode, so i can simply toggle rotate to switch between the modes
C. Re-calibrate the accelerometer in such a manner to keep the phone in landscape mode and toggle rotate setting when needed.
Iv done some searching in regards to the matter. I have not come across any (usefull) apps that will manually rotate modes, nor have i found any workarounds. I have CM 6.1 rc1 installed on the phone. Id be grateful for any help. Thanks.
EDIT:
the phone is out of warranty, and iv trouble shot the accelerometer fully (cleared settings via recovery bla bla)
Hi
i have the same problem - have you found anything to solve it.
Thanks
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

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.
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?

keep happening when reboot or soft reboot it works like a charm
but after a 1 hour or so it freezes again
Today it flipped and my live wallpaper was tripping like he'll
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
Hi everyone,
since a few weeks i got problems with the proximity sensor on my i9505
First i thought that it is software related but after clean installing a new ROM yesterday i see that the problem still exists...
It happens when the proximity sensor should react, when i am close to it, it reacts and activates but the problem is that it wont turn off again...
i dialed the test menu and went to sensor test, as i see the sensor sees the distance normaly, when i bring it close and when i move it away i see that the numbers react how they should, however after the sensor is once trigerred with a close object it starts to vibrate and the screen turns green (how it should), but after moving away it registers the distance but it won´t stop to vibrate and turn off :/
Anyone who knows what could be wrong?
I have to mention that the display was changed once (because of the glass broke) but it was working normal for months...
EDIT: after testing again i see that the sensor sees the distance just as it should the only problem is that once that the sensor action is triggered to 1.0 from 0.0 it stays at 1.0 no matter if i remove my hand...
