UMI Z Pro - Keeps flipping apps to Landscape and wont go back - UMi Z Questions & Answers

Hi.
Just got one of the Z Pros today, it did a couple of OTA updates got it all set up, but it now randomly switches the screen to Landscape for all apps.
Only way to get it back to portrait seems to be to reboot it. Anyone else found this and is there a way around this, really annoying and will be going back if cant be sorted.

This happend to me today after 5 days of having the phone, I just used the orientation toggle on the drop down menu to fix it

[Q] Homescreen in Landscape mode?

I dont know what happened but my Galaxy S3 can tilt from Portrait to landscape while in Homescreen this morning.
But now when I tried it again it does not do it anymore, I did not restart the phone or anything. I'm on stock TW and not rooted.
Am I missing something here why I cant do it anymore? Take note that currently the screen rotation is still turned on.
I had the same issue on samsung tab and have been said by the samsung tech team to recalibrate the tab , tried it and got it resloved.
got the issue again after tried the stap again no luck, tech guys said I need to do a factory rest and that fixed the issue.
Hi mate, currently in my case my homescreen is still in portrait mode . But I'm just wondering why can i adjust it a while ago to landscape mode while I'm in home screen but now I cant.
The only difference is I'm connected to my wifi router a while ago and now I'm not connected to it.
Take note that I did not use any MHL adapter (I read somewhere else that using MHL will enable that functionality).
Hmm. maybe a bug. But that was cool

When you say the 'issue' is the issue that it was rotating or that it wasn't? Is the homescreen supposed to rotate? I'm trying to decide if I should get a GS3 or a GNex today and I'm not familiar with how touch wiz normally operates.
What do you mean by Homescreen? The screen you get when you have unlocked the phone? If so then mine has never tilted into landscape mode and is always in Portrait, is this not suppose to be the case?
@Claytop
Yes mate. But right now it's not going to landscape anymore. Don't know why. I guess its a bug. hmmm

sorry for my ignorance, I never saw the default homescreen rotate in landscape mode. but in the tab both default homescreen and application homescreen rotate.
can other users confirm if the default homescreen tilt/rotate in landscape mode??
I am going ok with the touchwiz if you need a faster response probably you need to root and put in some good rom.

I believe that's the normal operation in the homescreen because no one replied experiencing same scenario I mentioned
Iv installed a sikipedia widget and when i click it the home screen goes to landscape mode...
would very much like to have this as a standard.
It's better to factory reset the device. If u still face the issue, try going with roms. It may get better.

[Q] Flickering Multicolored Lines

For the past week or so my phone has had flickering multicolored lines flash across the homescreen(s)/lockscreen when I turn the display back on. Sometimes it will also happen if I'm sitting on the homescreen with the display already on.
Here is my Rom history as the problem began:
Was on supernexus (Android 4.2.2 I believe) - issue was not present
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6 (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset before install)- started having the issue
Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6.2 (wiped cache/dalvik)- issue still present
Flashed AOCP 5.7 yesterday (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset and formatted internal SD)- thought issue was gone, but it started happening again today.
I tried taking screenshots but the issue disappears as soon as I press the volume+power button to take the screenshot. This only seems to happen when I'm on the homescreen/lockscreen, I dont think it has happened while in any other apps.
I'm wondering if this might be an issue with the specific version of the Nova launcher, as I believe that is the common denominator between these Roms (isn't AOCPs launcher based on CM's nova?). I just installed go launcher and the problem seems to be gone (for now).
Has anyone else seen something like this? I apologize if this has been discussed somewhere, I spent several hours searching Google and XDA before posting. I can post a picture later when I have access to another camera phone.
Same issue here
I have the same issue at the lock screen. Prevalent on all JB roms I have tried, carbon, revolt & slim bean.
I'm currently using Carbon nightly. I have not seen a fix for this yet. I have heard it might be an issue with the processor waking up from sleep.
After installing Go Launcher Ex opening it a couple times and then going back to using the Aspire launcher that came with AOCP, I haven't had this issue again all afternoon. Didn't have it at all yesterday though, so it might come back.
I played around with all the brightness settings but it didn't seem to do anything. Do you happen to have any pictures of the effect you are getting? I'll try and post a picture of mine tonight if it happens again. Thanks!
About 3 hours ago, I changed some GPU & lock screen settings and the issue has not reappeared.
I will post back either later tonight or tomorrow morning with some info.
I haven't taken any photos of the problem yet. By the way, do you usually experience the issue on lock screen coming from a screen off state?
ditto on this. I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed and I get these lines intermittently.
Try turning off CRT animations and disable hw overlays.

disabling hardware overlays always fixes it for me
same issue
Have the same issue going on had freezing and resolved that now I'm stuck on these lines multiple diff ROMs I am running cm10 I see people saying he overlays can someone provide a little more info on what that is and where to find it? Attaching screen shots of these multi color lines we speak of
Nvm can do it with the browser will edit this later and add them with a pc

Go to settings, developer options scroll half way down and you will find it. You will have to disable it every time you reboot or you can use two paid apps from the market. These apps are tasker and secure setting they are both worth every cent.

Do you have any backlight handling apps? I used lux all the time and it stopped after I disabled it.

Just enabled "Disabled HW overlay" and "Force GPU rendering". Like some of the users suggested, I found about the possible solution from this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhhPPke_Nbw
(go to 1:40)
I usually get the flickering with the lock screen (I use WidgetLocker Lockscreen). I was having some flickering this morning and checking both of those options seemed to immediately cut out the flickering.
I ran across it(the flickering lines) on one of the 4.2.2 roms, can't remember exactly which one but what I ended up having to do was disable one of the tweak apps it came with and install Trickster Mod only. Worked for me, no more flickering or rebooting, not sure what the cause may have been but have had no other issues after that for I believe it was 2 weeks
Please elaborate

By chance can you give some more details about this Trickster Mod like where to find it and what it is supposed to do?
A link to a thread would be great

Scroll down to my post there. If you still need help, just let me know.
Trickster mod I believe is mainly for Rom's that have Kernels that can be OC'd or Under Clocked. Kind of the same as Android Tweaker or SetCPU but is a little smoother for me IMO.

Wallpaper disapearing! SGP311

Just noticed when I turn my tablet in landscape/portrait mode often the wallpaper disapear and the screen stay black for few minutes (like the no wallpaper mode in CM). It happends even with stock walls...
Didn't do nothing special to the tablet, just rooted.
Only me ?
I have found this problem as well.
Me too. It could be a kind of lagging.
Ok, just for the sake of statistics, it happens to me too... (Stock rom, rooted)
Thanks all, so I'm not the only one.

[Q] Landscape lockscreen without root?

Wondering if anyone knows a way to force the lockscreen into landscape?
I mount the XZU in landscape in my car and I can force the device to landscape for everything I need but if it turns off, it comes back into a portrait lockscreen.
Any way to do this?

have you tried Adaptive Rotation Lock from the market? it forces my Note 2 lockscreen into landscape. however i don't think it works on the Galaxy S4, so i guess it depends on the device..
Worked great, thanks! I needed to reboot to get it to work.
I'm glad to know this works on the Ultra Z as I ponder getting the device myself

I'm enjoying the XZU greatly and this was one of very few stumbling blocks. Using this app, just ensure that the "lock screen on portrait" option is unchecked and that "auto start" is checked them give it reboot after install and setup.

Cool, I'm hoping the U.S. Sony stores will get the C6806 model in so I can go actually see it and see just how big it is, and if it would fit in my pocket lol.

The ones that didn't catch the 11.0.7.0 update, and that was a lot of users, have a longer change log.
And they still didn't solved Mi Sound Enhancer and Bluetooth peripherals collaboration albeit big part of population have exactly those peripherals!
January ?? It's a joke ?
Why they don't have the security update of february.... ?

If you just look a little bit further than your nose you might understand the reasons for delay.
I was not expecting an update this soon since many has to stay at home in China.
I updated yesterday and for some reason my stock wallpaper (the one with the mountain) used to be dynamic and change throughout the day (sunrise, sunset, night, etc) and now it's fixed on the night time, if I disable dark mode the wallpaper goes back to being daytime. So it's pretty much a static wallpaper instead of a dynamic one, is there a way to re-activate the dynamic one?

I believe that factory reset will solve Your problems, unfortunately.

Just did that, at first it seemed to be working fine but after setting up the phone at some point I disabled dark mode and enabled again it went back to the same thing.

Did You look at \Settings > Account & Sync > Xiaomi Cloud > Home screen backup ?!
If not, then "old" and "broken" Home screen is always restored so my advice will be to delete those backups and then try again and see will You have any issue with this!

I'm pretty sure I had no backup because I had to setup everything from scratch again, google did restore apps, contacts and such, but home screen, system settings and such I had to do from scratch.

In Your place I would check this more closely because if I remember correctly this restore behavior is set as"default" for "Home screen" and this item is constantly restored during ROM upgrade or reset.
Just checked, it's disabled. Right now if I disable dark mode the background stays at night time (its almost 8pm so that's normal) i'm going to check tomorrow to see if the problem persists.

Thank you.
Just checked the issue with the wallpaper, if I disable dark mode the wallpaper works just fine and cycles throughout the day as it should, as soon as I enable the dark mode it forces the wallpaper into night mode. Happened with this update, factory reset didn't fix it and I tried to look for an option but couldn't find anything. Extremely annoying but hopefully it gets fixed.

Hmm maybe this is logical and intended behavior?!
If You look more closely if one activate dark mode then whole OS "thinks" that You are actually using Your phone during night time and You have exactly this kind of behavior!
I believe that there lies Your "problem" and in fact You don't have problem at all and this function works like it should i believe!
