Hey guys I figured out something kinda cool today and idk if anyone else has ever tried it but I thought I would post it here just for fun. So if you unlock your phone and go into a landscape friendly app (I just use messaging) and turn your phone to the landscape position. Then turn auto rotation off from your status bar (if your rom supports it of course). Now lock your phone and your lock screen should also be in landscape mode!
Idk what this does to ethe twlauncher but I know it puts my nova launcher into landscape mode even though I have it set to stay portrait. I've noticed this happening other times when I have been using my phone in landscape and then locked it and went to unlock it again right after and my lock screen appears to be in landscape for a short second. Idk if there's any other apps that now go landscape that dont usually or what it does to the twlauncher so let me know if you guys find anything else cool with this.
Yeah, I noticed that. Pretty neat I guess.
Yes, it was like that on my old Captivate running Gingerbread as well. Kinda makes sense that if it's locked in landscape mode, it would stay in landscape mode, including the lock screen.

On CM7, if I lock rotation in landscape, it goes back to portrait.

thanks for sharing. this trick is great if you are web browsing on your phone but you have the tendency to move your hands around a lot... causing your phone to inadvertently rotate between landscape and portrait view.
i agree, the trick works on certain roms.
on a similar note:if you set auto-rotate on but your phoen doesn't rotate...check your launcher settings. for quite some time...i've always wanted my home screen to rotate, but i realize i had my screen orientation settings set to 'potrait' of my launcher settings.

Hello guys, I got this new unit and I already tried to calibrate/ check auto rotate option in settings.
Should my home screen rotate while i move my phone horizontally and/or vertically.
My icons are always in vertical mode.
If i go to gallery and choose picture i taken with the cell it rotates fine.
But if I go into internet browser ( the default one ) it takes like 4-5 tries shakes and moves my phone so it finally works <== this also seems odd shouldn't this works like faster or on first try ????
//Edit: needless to say , factory stock on everything nothing installed apart from opera mini and skype.
Everything else is default out of the box.
But my main question is shouldn't home screen follow my phone movement?
no, custom roms do though, like cm7
So no home screen/icons on it will follow if I place my phone in landscape mode hmm. Also what about the locked screen ( default one ) with the clock on it. Should that move? or same like home screen its only vertical.
Also I find my sensor in apps ( any app for that matter) to be really slow or unresponsive :S You need to move your phone in all directions like good 40-50secs or even more for it to switch into landscape mode :S
If anyone cares I re-calibrated the sensor but this time NOT on flat surface but in my hand the best I can and matched my movements so I works the best like im holding it in every day use.
Fixed my slow-ness or non-responsiveness about landscape / vertical switching.
=)
I don't have enough posts to ask in the dev threads but I'm wondering if anyone else who's tried them has seen this. Basically if I'm on the home screen my tablet is stuck in landscape mode. In any apps auto rotate works. It's not a big deal other than I usually hold my tablet with the controls on the upper right side.
And, yes, auto rotate is turned on.
are you running the newest KANG?
If so, go to settings, trebuchet, general, auto rotate

Perfect! Thanks for the help.
Has anyone noticed the auto rotate sometimes getting stuck, or at least lagging quite a bit? Sometimes I'll have to rotate the phone then rotate it back to get it to work. Granted I am using a 3rd party home screen so that i can have my homescreen in landscape mode sometimes, but that alone doesn't cause problems on most phones.

Yes I've noticed it too. It happens especially when I'm using graphics or cpu intensive apps like YouTube. I'm using the stock LG home screen.

I tried the sensor calibration some time back, not sure if that ever helps at all lol
the subject covers the problem, this happend after mm installed.. was a direct push from sony...
found a couple of threads about turning phone off, then docking then turning phone on. then undock. well now my lock screen goes into landscape kinda nice, but when i swipe up to unlock home screen is in portrait mode. would prefer home screen in landscape while charging. managed to find a app that forces it to work, but does not compress the home screen like the stock lolipop 5.2.1 i think it was, did.
beers
Yeah. This update (570) is as bad as the 5.0.2 build that came without X-Reality. No auto rotation, some sound enhacement features are missing and much more things that keep me from using Marshmallow for more than a full day.
Gee, I thought I was the only one having this issue. Yeah, it's so bad. Even on Facebook when I try to livestream while charging on dock, it's still in Portrait mode.
Im using 2 apps Rotation Control to lock on orientation mode and Power Toggles to toggle sleep mode.
Rotation Control:
I use it to lock on landscape mode all the time. But with some apps, it still opens in portrait mode and even set to auto mode. Still it wont turn to landscape mode at all and can only use it on portrait mode! Some apps, it still opens in portrait mode, but after turned on auto mode and turn the tablet to landscape mode and I can lock it to landscape. But still very annoying to do this every time. it happens. I have never such problem in all mine apps in all mine previous tablets. Only on this M5 tablet.
Power Toggle:
I use this widget to toggles between sleep time. Ex set it to 3-10 min and after a while it turns auto back to 30 sec!
Anyone can tell me what the heck is going on? Is it the tablet/EMUI or apps causing this?
Rotation Control works perfectly for me, although I primarily force auto rotation. I'm rooted if it makes a difference (I don't think it does).
If you use a third party app/widget to change screen brightness or timeout, the value resets after you turn the screen off. That's an EMUI thing, I think. There is probably a work around (I would try freezing iAware if rooted) although I have learned to roll with it. Kindisplay does work to keep the screen on where movement is detected.

I managed to solve orientation problem to allow Rotation Control for app overlay. But the annoying Android system shows up in status bar and can't get rid of that message.
I suspected that was EMUI thing, reset to 30 sec. But can't find any solution to this stupid feature.
This will be mine first and last Huawei device. Good quality but crap software.

That's and Android thing I believe, not EMUI. You can get rid of the notification by following these instructions:
