Had this problem yesterday after installing sportcaster, that is a portrait only app. After I rebooted, it worked fine.

Did a factory reset and it still isn't working.
Any other suggestions?
Will be returning it if I can't get it too work.

I hate to ask, so forgive me if you've tried, but you don't have screen rotation locked do you?

Nah, its clicked on but doesn't rotate.
I'm losing hope. It doesn't work anymore.

That's weird, my autorotate doesn't work either. The other thing I did recently was install he latest update that was released today.

Same here.
It worked fine before.
Those that updated - Can you guys check your auto rotate and report back?
Thanks.

Mine is still working fine after the update.

Okay I powered it down completely then fired it back up and now everything works. Tested all the sensors via the phone tester app. Before, none of the sensors were working for me.

I hadn't noticed but mine wasn't working after the update either. Rebooted and it's working again.

Mine isn't working after a reboot.

Mine hasn't been working either. I haven't installed the new update yet but I will see if that changes anything. Mine has been on and off since I got it. It would work half the time and then sometimes not at all even after a reboot or a hard reset. If this update does not fix this problem I will be asking for an exchange.

I really think its the update because mine was good before all this.
I can't use my camera either because my camera update always fails. It says you must update your camera firmware.

Damn, my auto brightness stopped working also. Can't believe this mess.
I had a perfect transformer... damn you ASUS!
I still have the receipt but they are out of stock. I'm going to keep it until the 12th and see if ICS fixes everything. I can't let go of you Prime.

Had this issue. Updated my firmware last night. Closed out of all my apps. Didn't do anything. Followed it up with a reboot. Started working fine.

So I updated the tablet last night and it did not seem to help. Using the app elixir I checked to see the status of the sensors, and none of them are responding when this problem occurs. I also noticed that if I turn the auto-rotate feature off and turn it back on in 10 - 15 min it starts working again. I have tried everything to figure out what is wrong, but have no idea. I will be going to Bestbuy this Friday and asking for an exchange, but it will more than likely be a return because of stock. Till then i'll be on the forums hoping for a solution.

I just got my tablet last night, and I'm having the same issue Nothing seems to work to fix it, like rebooting it or resetting it to factory. I've never had it work, but I didn't test before I installed the Firmware update. Has anyone talked to Asus about the issue? Figure I'll give them a call tonight and see what they say before I have to try to exchange it through Amazon (and who knows when I'll get the tablet back...). My first Android tablet, really makes me feel frustrated with it.

Yeah, this sucks. My auto rotate and auto brightness use to work.
Let us know what ASUS tells you.

[Q] Does anyone getting this error when restarting the tab?

From time to time (not always) I receive the following error message when I restart. It appears twice:
the application Samsung account (process.osp.app.signin) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
In my accounts & sysnc Samsung account appears always as sync off, and I cant enable it. Is that normal?
I've got it as well. I assume its because the Samsung login servers are down or something.
Thanx for the reply. I thought this was also connected to a different problem. I am not getting the menu items in KIES to sync with the PC and a message telling this version cannot be updated. Maybe a different topic but nobody replied to my previous post. Thanx again.
Yes, I have gotten it when restaring with quick boot.

I get it too. Every time it happens I report it. Does anyone report force closes in here? I think the more reports the higher the priority is, hopefully they fix it soon.

Hopefully because I report it everytime as well. I thought I would have to return mine but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one getting this. Seems to happen when I boot with wi-fi on and it can't access it because the wi-fi is secure.
I get it every time..sometimes twice every time I boot.
It started today for me after installed rscovery and rooted.
I am getting the same error too when starting up sometimes, always comes up twice. Usually after the second reboot it doesn't happen.
same here
Yep... twice every time I turn on the tablet. It's super annoying. I report it every time; I hope they fix it at some point.
Also, I have the GoogleIO edition. Does it happen on retail too?
Yes. I have retail version. I rooted my devices and then unroted it. I read someone did the same? Did everyone in here rooted their device?

What did they say?
I get this too, twice on every boot. The message says you can restore to factory defaults, which will wipe out your accounts and resolve the issue temporarily until you add your samsung account again. This is why we didn't get this message when on first boot.

Problems with Accelerometer and Gyroscope.

Hi
I recently bought Amaze. Pretty awesome! I was all happy and clicking lots of pictures and stuff after which I decided to root because of the battery problem. Never mind that all good. But yesterday I randomly opened up the G-Sensor settings in display and I noticed some lag in the movements of those bubbles, I was confused and I knew this isn't how those bubbles move. I downloaded AndroSensor to check if everythings alright. But it wasn't I think there is some problem with my Accelerometer and Gyroscope :l those number besides the Accelerometer and Gyroscope keep on changing even if the phone is kept on the ground without any motion. If someone has experienced this or has a solution to it please help. I really don't want to ruin my experience with this phone.

I would just say get it exchanged man. I haven't had any issues along those lines and rooting shouldn't have any effect on those sensors =/
I also got probably a similar problem with the accelerometer. The phone began rotating the pictures as well as application windows absolutely wrong, unexpectedly and may say randomly.. and it isn't rooted yet..
P.S. I decided to go for the factory reset..
Now re-installing and re-setting all my operational environment
Anyhow the G sensor seems to resume its duly performance.. ))

Try and get AndroSenser from Market and let me know if the accelerometer values keep on changing even if the phone is kept on a surface with no movements.

Well my Amaze also has a prob with the g-sensor. it doesnt work at all there is no auto rotation , nothing. i have just had the phone for 2 days now. any solutions?
Try removing the battery and let sit for about a half hour. I had the same issue and this worked for me. Good luck.

Got the same issue, at this point it doesn't work at all yet if I flash a rom with out a full wipe it'll work again until I restart. That being the case it feels like a driver issue to me... I'm not sure if anyone has a tool that will allow me to flash the proper drivers?

Call HTC as far as i know the phone hasnt even been out a year yet which means they should all still be under warranty. Htc sent me a new back, a battery and charger for things i made up so i could have back ups should anything go wrong. All sent for free and they dont even ask for the bad parts back. Their customer service is great. Unless you like messing with stuffvif a factory reset dosent fix it. Get a new one. & to the guy with the? About the accelerometer numbers they always dance around a little even when set down flat. As long as the phone rotates correctly and maybe get a game that uses it and az long as everything functions your good dont freak out because the numbers dont hold completely still.

Screen bobbing

I just got my 5 th prime today, still has bleeding but i give up, cant be without it any more so ill keep it. Everything is working fine, updated to ics, everything still working fine. But then i opened youtube and It was glitchy like my last ones. But after watching a video and it was done, my screen started bobbing up and down. Everything on the screen would move about .5 in up and down twice a second. I tried ending YouTube and it did nothing, so i restarted and ran YouTube again and it seems ok.
Anyone have this issue yet?

I had this happen only once. I think it was after first update to ICS or one of the later HC updates. I just rebooted the tablet n never seen it happen again. It looked just like you said or screen shifting. Then the home n back tabs looked like they were glitching..lol. everything has been great since. Never occurred again. Nothing to worry about unless it continues to occur. Sometimes bad apps cause issues if they not updated. Like Google earth was causing crashes, freezes, and even rebooting at first on the prime. Then Google updated it and it works fine now.

I've used same solution for any apps that might freeze up or random browser freezes. ICS still needs kinks worked out and Asus needs to enable wifi direct, face unlock, and NFC as these are standard in ICS.

Unless the tablet has an NFC chip in it we won't get it, has to have the hardware to back it which to my knowledge it does not.
I'm also experiencing the bobbing, and its terrible! I just got the dock, and since then, the screen sporadically bobs... but when it starts, its almost continuously bobbing!
//edit, yeah its on youtube mostly.
Lol, I first read this as "blobbing". I have this issue too though. I noticed it only when connected to the dock and when the tablet was charging from the dock battery. Undocked and all was well, but it started when the tablet battery hit 70%.
Its almost always YouTube but today I saw the same effect for the first time on alive wallpaper...
Noticed this occurrence a couple of times during random YouTube browsing. It's definitely something (in theory) that a software patch can and will resolve.
ICS is still relatively new on the Android scene... so let's just be patient, whilst hoping for the best.

Have the screen bobbing too after watching youtube. Have to reboot to fix. Also have the problem of the physical keyboard not working when trying to enter a search in the youtube app.
Was this thing tested at all before it was launched?

[Q]Screen will not rotate

Hi guys,
Has anyone ever had this problem. To my knowledge the phone was never dropped or shocked yet the accelerometer seems to be stuck. (yes rotation is on ) I used a diagnostic app to see if any data was coming from the accelerometer / gyro but it does not move at all. I was rooted and ROM'd with TWRP and Clean Rom (been that way for months), but put it back to stock kernel and rom. Nothing. Same problem. has anyone any knowledge as to changing the gravity sensor chip or any ideas at all? THanks in advance for any suggestions.
joe
Rotation Lock Adaptive Free app. It has many rotation options that may be an answer to your problem.

I had the exact same problem. Androsensor showed that the accelerometer was not working at all. After googling...all I found was to bang on the back of the phone. I didnt believe it at all, but after hours figured I would try it. Took the back cover off and banged on the he phone fairly hard. Turned it back on and everything was working. There are several sensors that apparently get stuck sometines.
I did the same thing with switching roms. Try banging the phone before you waste more time. I was all set to go to Best Buy the next morning to return it.

Did you take the battery cover off? I laid mine face down with the battery cover off. I really couldn't believe that it worked. There wasnt any other information for a fix that I found. You might have to return it.

Any one else get black screen?

It's happened alot over past two weeks and it's now done it 3 times in past 2 1/2 days. Screen stays black press any button does nothing and hold down power still does nothing. Only way is to hold volume up and power for 3 vibrations then power back on its really annoying and must be due to some problem....?

Go to settings and disable auto brightness. I'm not sure why it works, but after researching for a while on this same issue, this is the setting that worked for me. Try it and update us if it works.

Did you guys update to 257 without wiping? I didn't wipe, but there might be some bugs sticking around from 532. Do a factory reset (full wipe if you have recovery) and see if that solves it.
any updates on this issue .the device screen simply doesnt wake-up from sleep ,unless you hard reboot .
i'm on 290 stock ,and testing the auto brightness disable method.
update : issue persists with auto-brightness disabled .
Hmm, it has to be a software bug. I can't see how this could be a hardware issue. Have you tried everything? Wiping? Re-flashing? Flashing a different ROM?
I did still get it on stock rooted rom. Twice in a day

Happened to me view times when i tried to play movies, weird thing its not all movies, just some of them. Then i tried to remember what did i just installed because it never happens before. For me it was Nooxzoid, i uninstall it, and it back to normal.
So maybe try to remember does it happened before or just recently, maybe some app went roque with your phone.

I have it just once though two days ago. Force reboot it by the button i almost gone mad when it's still not working, but somehow after a minute, it's normal again. I don't know why. But in case of yours, try to upgrade to the latest ROM first. That might fix it for you. No point for rooting if you can't fix the problem so let it go.
