Since it was new, my TAB S3 rotates to portrait whenever I try to look at FB marketplace. I have tried everything I could find through searches. My wifes S3, bought at same time, stays in landscape mode. We both have screen auto rotate turned on. I even tried turning auto rotate off, it still rotates. Also, when it does this, the pics don,t fit properly on the screen. Help
I had this problem on the original Galaxy Note 10.1. I figured it was just because somehow Facebook was installing an older version. It was a Verizon SCH 925 or so it never got updated passed 4.1.2. I never had the problem on my 2014 edition which was running lollipop stock or Los 14. Have you updated it to Oreo yet? Have you tried stock recovery and formatted the cache partition? Not a factory reset just the cache partition. Tried clearing data and cache for the app itself? I wish I could help you more, but seeing as how it's not doing it on hers but is on yours it's most likely just a corrupt Facebook file that's forgotten how to handle the gyroscope.
Thanks for the reply. I put up with it thinking the update to Oreo would fix it. Just got the update a few days ago, no change in the problem. Have since done a complete uninstall of the FB app and reinstalled with no change.

Why not just install smart rotate from play. It'll solve all your problems.

Have you messed with any of the display settings on this device? Font settings, zoom settings etc?

Compare the miminum resolutions you each have under developer settings, it may at least stop the app from cutting off as apps hew to screen res

Thanks for the advice. The only setting that I could find relating to resolution was Minimum Width. Both were set at 768 dp.

The only thing I found to help was to rotate my tablet to portrait and open marketplace. Then everything displays properly, but ony in portrait.
I had the grey on market place. I uninstallerd facebook and installed facebook lite app instead...Problem solved. Then install smart rotation app to get facebook to rotate.... Happy days...
It's 2023 and still no fix.

Just a reminder for anyone having an issue with games / applications not being full screen. I have heard this can cause an issue with older software but have yet to run into an issue. Download spare parts from the market (free) and run the app. Scroll down to the bottom and uncheck compatibility mode. Reboot the phone and your applications should now be full screen.

XiiaLive Lite was the only app that was giving me that issue and your suggestion worked. Thanks!!!
Hmm I downloaded spare parts and the app just Fcs over and over..
I'm trying to hold off on doing the OTAs but I may not have a choice .
the reason why some of the apps dont fill up the screen is because the 3D's screen resolution higher than normal
Yeah I needed it for the sirius app, surprised side since this isn't the first qhd display

I have not taken any of the OTAs so that should not be related. Maybe try menu>settings>applications>manage applications> select spare parts and force stop and clear data. Also check to make sure its installed to the phone not SD card.

I was using magic gem on my hero, looked great, now it is too small on the screen with my 3vo and after installing spare parts and unchecking compatibility mode and rebooting, it is even smaller. No biggy, I am sure they will have one out for the 3vo soon with the right resolution.
worked for me
Settlers HD did not take up the whole screen on my EVO 3D, spare parts and now it looks perfect, thanks
Having a problem with my phones screen. My screen wont rotate no matter what i do. Auto-Rotate is checked in both the pull down menu and the actual display settings menu. I have tried wiping the rom out and installing it back, installing a differnt rom altogether and still nothing.

My car couldn't start this morning no matter what I tried to do. Can someone fix it?
If I won't provide a basic info of what model/year or even brand of my car, don't you think anyone can help?
Try launcher settings? Try stock browser? MX player? .... and see if it rotates or not.

I am using the stock rom. Latest ICS. It is rooted. Phone model: i777 I have tried using the browser to test it. I have 4 different browsers (Firefox, Dolphin Beta, Dolphin Mini, and Stock) It will only rotate if i go into the browsers setting and manually make it rotate to landscape. When i open MY FILES app it wont rotate. NO app will rotate unless that is the only way the app works such as a game.
That I can't help. I hope someone with stock ROM will help you out.
> 90% of us here don't use stock ROM.

Well I guess I should have said that I also tried other roms as well. I also tried it on the SUPER NEXUS rom. Doesn't make a difference what rom I use it still doesn't work. Guess I'm gonna have to send it to Samsung for repair.
Have you tried the built-in test for the sensors? I believe its in the *#0*# menu and from there you can see if the sensor is registering movement.

Yes I have tried that menu. It is showing that the phone is moving. But the picture of the dog does not turn when I rotate the phone. Only thing that changes are the numerical values.

I just tried that app. I looked at the help section for the accelerometer and if I am understanding it correctly then the screen should be working just fine. Except it is not.
re-flash the ROM
I also suggest you try a different Rom. Try captivating m3. Decide and let me know

I am using latest EMUI version 4.0 in Honor 7 (PLK-UL00C675B351). It's recently used apps button when touched, is not showing anything, rather it turns my wallpaper black for a second and then restores. I have recorded my screen to show the exact problem being faced by me (thanks to new screen recording feature given in EMUI 4.0). I am not able to provide the link to the screen recording due to being a new member in xda.
Due to this I am unable to switch between apps and also not able to stop the unwanted apps that keep on running. Please tell me how to fix this problem. Thanks in advance.

Did you try a factory reset after backing up your apps and data using hisuite app?
You can restore the backup later and check if the problem still persists?

I have a faced this problem too. I solved it by uninstalling the latest installed apps one by one. In my case seven adclear was probably causing this issue. You can try it too. Uninstalling is less pain than an entire reset.

Hi, I had tried each and everything for it. From factory reset to manual updating to existing EMUI version. Nothing solved that problem.
Few days back I was lying on my bed, exploring some unknown features. I came through the 'Floating Dock'. This thing actually solved my issue. This floating icon on home screen has a button which clears all apps consuming power and takes the phone to optimal level. After using it, my recent app widget issue is not creating that problem. I am happy now. Thanks for your help too.

I used the app clear feature from the floating dock on home screen, After this, that problem has stopped. Thanks for your help too, may be used in future if the thing reports back.

Anyone else experiencing connecting to Android Auto and all your settings reverting back to stock mode vs dark/black? I was also having issues with navigating my map on my screen after putting an address in and gave my a route, but wouldn't do anything when I clicked the route.

I forgot about Dev settings. Are you talking about "Day/Night" option?
Also, what should "Application mode" be set to?
That's what I mean, the day/night setting. Setting it to Night forces dark mode (like when it detects your headlights on).
After this Feb 8 update the portrait mode selfies and the video call effects stopped working on my Verizon Galaxy S21+. A reboot fixes it but only for a few hours maximum. I even did the dreaded factory reset and that did not work either. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks.
what do you mean by it stopped working? it force closes?
No there is no blur effect and most of the other effects are non functional. Coincidentally video call effects stop working the same exact time so there has to be a connection there. It will work after a reboot but only for a few hours tops. Factory reset did not help. Issue popped up right after the Feb 8 update on Verizon which included updates to both the camera and video call effects.
There are also a few other people who posted about the same issue on the Samsung Community forums.
