General :: Auto-Screen Rotation In Gallery / Camera?
Nov 15, 2012
I've got a Samsung Galaxy III and have problems trying to view images in my gallery using the auto-rotate screen option and rather then having to manuallly press the rotate screen "icon" which does gets annoying. I just want to tilt my phone so the images can automatically change to portrait or landscape on its own depending what angle the phone tilts. I've ensure the auto-rotate screen is checked from Settings under Display and even tried unchecking it and checking it again as well as switching my phone on/off.
NOTE: That the auto-rotate screen option does work fine for me with everything else like watching videos, texting, internet browsing, music and even viewing the overall images in the gallery but when going in and viewing the pictures individually from either the Gallery or the Camera. All I've got is a rotate screen "icon" to press on manually each time I'd like the picture to be portrait and if I want landscape I have to press on the screen rotate icon again. I noticed the auto-rotate screen option doesn't work on my Home Screen and Lock Screen as well but that isn't the main issue.
I've been reading around and tried pulling out my battery on "Odin" mode, wait 30sec-1min then turn my phone on again and that didn't work. I've also did the same procedure and ensure I unchecked the auto-rotate screen option and checked it again after I turned on the phone. I tried the Gyroscope Caliberation option and calibrated it and that didn't work either. My sister has the same phone as me with the same version installed but she doesn't have this problem and I'm wondering if it's something to do with how my phone software's set up?

Since the 2.2 update my screen auto rotation is horrible. When I want it upright, it goes sideways. WHen I hold the phone sideways, it flips the other way. Apps that I open seem to always start out sideways even when the phone is upright. I turn it around, nothing happens. If it does rotate back, it is so delayed you think it is not working. It never seems to be the direction I want it, getting very frustrating and annoying to keep flipping the damn phone around all the time to try to get it right. I sure hope the new FRG22 update, if it ever comes, can fix this problem. So far, 2.2, besides flash, has been a big disappointment for me.

I am working on a home screen widget. I hope this widget can support auto rotation. For example, if the phone is in portrait mode, I want this home screen widget to be 2 cell * 2 cell on the home screen; if the phone is in landscape mode, I want this home screen widget changes be 3 cell * 1 cell on the home screen.

I have an android application that I want to always be running in landscape mode.
I have the following code implemented to keep the app in landscape mode all the time:
inside my activity in the Application Manifest
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
This seems to launch and keep the application in landscape view for the whole duration of the application. Perfect!
However, if I have the app running on my HTC Aria (Android 2.1) and the phone locks, if I unlock the phone, I see the application for probably half a second and it's in portrait orientation and then quickly switches back to landscape mode. It is quite frustrating because all of my views are jumbled around and it looks unprofessional as you can imagine. This happens in both the emulator and on my real phone.
Does anyone know how to stop the application from temporarily rotating when the phone is unlocked?
I have tried overriding onConfigurationChanged() but with no success.
I have also tried putting setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); into the onResume() but the app still shows as the incorrect orientation for a split second when the phone is unlocked.

Is there a way to only have an android device, specifically Acer Iconia A500 running 3.2.1, to only rotate horizontally and not vertically.

Somedays back My phone just got stuck at the boot animation... So I restored it to its factory rom: upai_n9880I stock rom: 20120804_e1811_v75_jbaol1_g88. But when I went using the camera, the camera was inverted and if I turn in to lanscape, it would rotate but get inverted like in portrait mode. Now the games were also working flipped... The guy in Temple run now turns right if I tilt to the left and so forth.
So I tried flashing the phone with Taiwan upai N9880_ICS_V.01... but the issue remains. I tried reformat the flash and re-installed Taiwan Rom... the issue remians.

I have somehow stopped my desire auto rotating to landscape on all screens and I have no idea how to resolve this. I have changed the view on the browser to always be in landscape just to sort out the problem however none of the other apps such as email and photos will rotate... If anyone can tell me where the setting is to restore this i would be very grateful. I have tried google and the user guide but just cant find it.

I am back to having the Nexus gallery that cannot rotate from port to land mode since I rooted my phone. I used the same .apk that I did when I had an Eris on 2.1v3 and it worked fine on that phone. Is there something special I have to do now that I am on 2.1 root?

it is possible to code an app so that it does not rotate if/when the user rotates their device. I have built an app that is designed for portrait view only. When it is flips to landscape, it gets distorted. I have apps on my android that do not rotate when I try to rotate my device.
I am using Eclipse to make my app. I'm hoping it is something that I need to add to the manifest.

Anyone run into an issue where auto-rotation stopped working?
I uninstalled 3 recently installed apps, but no dice.
Running ADW.Launcher, and it used to rotate fine until last night.
Uninstalled those 3 apps one at a time, with a reboot after each, and nothing.
Sure would hate to have to reinstall the phone from factory wipe...
I did go into ADW.Launcher and disable+enable auto-orientation. Also tried LauncherPro, same results: no rotation. Any apps out there to TEST the built-in sensors, like the orientation sensor?

Just got my hands on the SGS and I am really liking it... there is, however, one question... does anyone here experience issues with auto-rotation? For me - sometimes it works - sometimes it doesn't - and I find myself shaking the device to make it work (again - sometimes)... how does this sit with you? Does it ring a bell, or do I have a bad device?

Just curious about Android OS Auto-Rotation system, and how it matches up to competitors. Before anything I am NOT complaining, just a thought.
So everyone has seen how the Auto-Rotation is on iPhone, Palm Pre' and Android handsets, and I was curious... shouldnt Android phones be able to do this task just as smooth as iPhone and Palm Pre'? Bringing this to my thought was the app "Floating Image". The Auto-Rotation on the app is amazing, and that just shows me, and makes me wonder, why cant all the other apps have the AR as smooth as this? (Even the keyboard). The slow delaying fade away is kind of a drawback (to an extent) know that Im 100% Android is capable of doing over and beyond that.

I have a apk file, where i dont have the source for it.
When i run the apk, it automatically rotates the screen,
/WindowManager( 879): Setting rotation to 1, animFlags=0 I/WindowManager( 879): Config changed: { scale=1.0 imsi=0/0 locale=en_US touch=1 key=2/1/2 nav=3 orien=1 }
then after closing the application or coming out from the application,
I/WindowManager( 879): Setting rotation to 0, animFlags=0 I/WindowManager( 879): Config changed: { scale=1.0 imsi=0/0 locale=en_US touch=1 key=2/1/2 nav=3 orien=2 }
how to disable the rotation.

This morning I installed update 2.17.61.2 and since then I've noticed a fault with the auto-rotation feature. For things such as internet, SMS inbox, email inbox etc. the screen view is stuck on landscape and will not auto-rotate back to portrait when I tilt the phone
Also I tried playing Teeter and the ball doesn't move no matter how much I tilt the phone. I've tried resetting the G-Sensor Calibration but it doesn't resolve the fault.

I've had my Hero (G2 T-Mobile UK) for about ten days and feel I made a great choice. However, I noticed today that the auto rotation functionality has stopped. I've checked it is selected in settings and have callibrated too but it no longer works. Also, from the standard music player I cannot get back to the album cover-flo display, only list views and current track etc. The original view of the installed album art you can flick through has gone - or at least I can't find my way back to it. I updated to latest firmware before using the phone and can only think that one of the apps I've loaded has messed up these features? The apps I got were all recommended ones from another thread somewhere so shouldn't be buggy but I did grab about six, one after the other which maybe the problem? The day after installing them I switched the phone on next day and got some kind of reboot screen?? Maybe the phone needs a soft/hard reset but will this wipe it and how do I do it - or should I delete my apps? Hope someone can help cos I love the phone and don't really want to do without these features.

Is there a trick to use the gyroscope instead accelerometer to rotate the screen? Or, is there any "Hack" to improve rotating speed? iPad have a very nice rotation.
Btw, I have Galaxy S2.

How to make screen mirror like as apsis coordinate...???
I tried:
Code:
persist.hwc.mirroring.enabled=1
persist.hwc.mirroring.transform=1
For example:
< | >
I found how to rotate manually:
Code:
Set in build.prob -> ro.sf.hwrotation = 0 for 0, 1 for 90, 2 for 180, 3 for 270 which you want...
But I need to mirror effect on all based android system

know of any apps that looks like iOS' camera or gallery? If you know of more than one app that would be even better, but knowing just one would be fine with me.

I have a problem with my camera so I try to install are the 4.2 camera on my haipad I9300 mtk 6577. No success so now I want to go back to the original ics camera and gallery.. Unfortunately I delete the original ones when I install the 4.2 camera. So I download the camera apk and Google gallery. Apk and put in system.app the gallery shows up but not the camera. The gallery crash very often. I cannot make the camera shows up. Every time I turn on the phone it appears "Android update". I don't have a recovery.

I spend two weeks now trying to get this working with no success. Here is what I want to do: I have several geo points around the user and his phone. I want to display this point overlaying them on the input from the camera (kind of standard AR (Augmented Reality) app). Part of my requirements are that the user can use the phone in either landscape or portrait mode.My plan was like this.
1. Register for Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER, Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD 2. Pass the result to Sensor Manager.getRotationMatrix(), getting back the R matrix that should be telling me how to translate points from the Phone coordinate system (defined here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/SensorEvent.html) to World coordinate system (x -> East, y -> North, z -> Sky) 3. I want to translate points from World to Phone so I take the inverse of R (I'm using Matrix.invertM()) to get R_In 4. Using the GPS I translate the geo points I want to display on the camera to points in the World coordinate system and then I run them through the R_In matrix to get their coordinates in the Phone system. 5. Draw the points in the screen only if the have (phone coordinates) z < 0 and x and y such that they are visible. This is my grand plan... however I have problems quite early (2). I do get the R matrix back and it looks good when I align the phone to the world coordinate system ( I get the identity matrix ). However when I try to translate an imaginary point from the Phone coordinate system say (0, 1, 0) to the World coordinate system I don't get the numbers I expect.
