Hello all.
Not much of a poster but i would like to see if i can get some help with my phone.
I've had it rooted and running Trigger for a couple months now......but recently i came into a problem. The phone will go into landscape mode on its own and sticks there.
It wont rotate back no matter what i do.
Yes i've tried toggling the auto-rotate settings but it still wont rotate back.
The only way i can get it to go back to vertical is by reflashing the rom, but it doesn't take long before it goes back. I've also tried flashing other roms but same problem.
It's really starting to get frustrating and i don't know what to do. Any thoughts?
Have you tried re-calibrating? Go to Settings>Display>Horizontal Calibration and let it do its thing. I ran into this with trigger and later, project v.
You mean anytime in landscape mode it locks that way? Like when using the camera or watching a movie? Or it only locks when using landscape on the home screens?
that sounds like a hardware problem to me but maybe if i knew more about what your doing i could say otherwise. there are sensors inside your phone that tell it when it is sideways, upside down, rightside up. not that i encourage this but...... have you tried bumping it off of a table to see if it flips back? maybe the sensors are acting up???
My evo 3d (running Eternity Infected Rom) suddenly started to give me problems with the screen.
Randomly, the screen does not respond properly to my input. For instance I will click on an app at the top of the screen, but an app at the bottom of the screen will get selected.
The same goes for typing and scrolling. When I turn off the screen off and then back on, the problem seems to go away momentarily.
I didn't get the screen wet and nothing out of the ordinary has happened.
I get the same problem after doing a full wipe and flashing back to an old recovery, or flashing a new Rom.
Any ideas?
When I go to Settings -> Display -> Calibration, I get the following error
"Unable to find an activity to perform this action"
Do you use any lock screen replacement apps? WidgetLocker? I have also seen this issue being caused by JuiceDefender with some screen off settings FWIW
I don't use any lock screen replacements. And everything was working perfectly for months, and then suddenly the other night, the symptoms began.
The only change I made to the phone, is I added a bunch of music to my SD card from my iTunes. But that shouldn't effect anything.
I had a similar issue with an evo4G, in fact I've been through 4 of them so I'm receiving a free upgrade. Hopefully I'm not plagued by the same issue.
try this fix from the sensation forum... seemed to help me... ill report back in a few days to confirm..
have had this issue now a week and i have to either rstart or screen off/on to fix

Hey! Just recently I haven't been able to get my phone to auto rotate the screen. And before you ask, yes, I have screen rotation checked. I've Googled around and I haven't seen anyone with a fix for it, and was wondering if anyone here might have a solution or even know why this is happening. Thanks in advance!
I've noticed the same issue with mine yesterday. Had it in my back pocket and it slide sideways in my pocket and wouldn't auto rotate. Had to reboot in order to fix it. Did this to me twice yesterday.
Yeah, my first instinct was to reboot, so I did that. Didn't do a thing.
I have an issue after the update. On random moments the screen rotates by itself despite the phone being in portrait position it rotates to landscape for a second and returns to portrait. It's irritating. Anyone has the same problem?
If this happens when an app supports landscape it stays on landscape, when not - like home screen it just kind of flickers to landscape and back.
I tried turning auto-rotate off - does not help. I calibrated the sensor - does not help. Scanned for viruses - none found.
First flash any previous fw and check if problem persists.

I'll wait with flashing back and forth until someone may know what is the deal with this.
Dzięki
Did a factory reset. It helped. Screen flickers no more.
I have the exact same problem! Auto-rotate is off and running in portrait mode.
It started about two weeks ago, but I ignored it because I thought flashing a new rom would fix it. It didn't.
Before I was running Xliterom (ICS) but yesterday I flashed Vanilla Rootbox (JB).. the problem was still there, and I obviously wiped data/cache/dalvik etc. So then I decided to try Foxhound and the problem is still there. Can anybody help me figure this out? Hardware problem..? Could it be some app causing this?
It just happens at random times, in random apps. Even at homescreen sometimes.
I received my sprint s6 edge today and have noticed that the screen will randomly go to landscape while browsing without any or very little movement and then it will get stuck in landscape. The only way to get it back to portrait is to return to the homescreen or another screen that forces portrait view.
Anyone else experiencimg this issue?
It's very odd I seem to be the only person with this problem. I've never had this issue on a phone before. I've noticed it seems to get stuck in landscape most often when using the stock browser, but it does happen with other apps.

Nope .well yes if i force it to like when im in the youtube app for example i can swtich it there by pressing the button. I guess im loving the phone soo much right now that im overlooking the auto rotation as something minor .i hope they push an update to fix it .im still trying to search for a solution myself
Mine is totally stuck as well, ie thats broken. Anyone got any ideas on this, I am seeing more and more people on various forums with the issue.
At this point its back to AT&T for me....
it only rotates within the APP. To obtain full rotation you have to have a 3rd party app like NOVA and enable screen orientation within the settings.
Mine just started doing this today too. Noticed it first with my camera app symbols being upside down and all my pictures coming out upside down too. Then realized my screen rotation isn't working.

Hopefully this is just a software thing and they can push out a quick update.
Just realized that my screen rotation was normal before the update. I took a couple pictures at some point before the update and those are the only ones not upside down.
Has everyone with an issue installed the update? Anyone notice if it started afterwards?

Got my s6 edge yesterday and gyro scope doesn't work so the camera buttons and picture are stuck on landscape and no apps will go to landscape mode so I tried the test screen which says the gyro is failing getting replacement on 21st, dial *#0*# to test it.

Screen Rotation
I have the Galaxy S6 Edge with Sprint and I took it in today because I am unable to view photos in Landscape mode I also downloaded some movies on it and when I went to the video player They wouldn't go into landscape mode either I finally figured out that If I turned off the screen rotation setting then went back and played the video a small screen rotate option apprered I tapped that and the video went into landscape mode I turned the main Screen rotation setting back on and it came out of landscape mode
I tried using the Internet in landscape mode and it wouldn't go period they checked my sensors and they were all working so I did a master reset I still can't view photos in Landscape mode videos are the same and if I view the Internet in landscape mode it locks in that way and I have to close it completely in order to get out of landscape mode
It has to be a s9software issue and Samsung needs to get on the freaking ball
I am also experiencing this issue.
I am returning the phone tomorrow, after speaking with Samsung and my carrier they agreed I should return it.
I made a thread on the androidcentral forums about it which I wanted to link, but I can't post a link here because I'm a new user. Good stuff.
I looked at the axis device movement graph thingy for my phone. Phone x coords are stuck at -32768 :/
I can't post a link here because I'm a new user. So, that's great. But there is an image on the androidcentral post of it.

Im saying the same thing. This has to be more of a software issue if the sensors are working. hopefully there will be a mnor update of some kind

I'm almost positive and the reason why is because when I was in the Spint Store and Best Buy I was checking out The S6 Edge both had photos downloaded on them as well as a few short film clips and the landscape mode worked perfectly
At Best Buy over in the Samsung area they have taken Wonders of nature movie that comes preloaded on the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 tablet and downloaded it on the all the S6 phones so you could really be amazed at how beautiful the display is on these phones
I watched that movie in landscape mode without having to go through all the hassle I'm having to now.
That's why I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on and neither could the techs at the Sprint store because they S6 phones that have been on display don't have this problem because they haven't been updated.
Or at least they hadn't been the last time I pcked one up and looked at it and that was Friday

Mine worked initially, at least I think it did because my pictures were normal. I took a few pictures when I first got it up and going and then later that evening I downloaded the big software update and at some point after that it was different. Not sure if it was the update or something else.
