Motorola Droid :: 2.2 Screen Auto Rotation?

Aug 16, 2010

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.

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?

Android :: Home Screen Widget Support Auto Rotation

Mar 9, 2010

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.

Android :: Stop Auto Screen Rotation In App When Unlocking Phone From Standby

Aug 24, 2010

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.

Motorola Droid :: Screen Rotation On BB1.1

Feb 26, 2010

Running BB1.1, but it doesn't allow the screen to rotate automatically, even though that option is turned on in the settings. I noticed Ultimate 3.7 does allow this, what other ROMs allow it? It's a minor feature, but one I like to have....

Disable Auto Rotation With Eclipse

Feb 22, 2012

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.

Samsung Captivate :: Lost Auto-rotation

Aug 30, 2010

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?

Samsung Galaxy S :: Auto-rotation Issues

Jul 31, 2010

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?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Auto-Rotation - Over-all Performance

Feb 28, 2010

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.

HTC Desire :: Auto-Rotation Fault Since Update

Nov 21, 2010

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.

HTC Hero :: Auto Rotation Functionality Has Stopped

Nov 24, 2009

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.

General :: Star N9880 - Auto Rotation Error

Nov 26, 2012

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.

Motorola Droid :: Auto Screen Brightness Setting?

Feb 9, 2010

Long time lurker, please no flaming.The Droid has an awesome screen, especially when set at full brightness. However, I typically have it set at the lowest brightness to conserve battery. On my old Windows phone I was able to have the brightness adjust to full when it was plugged in. I've looked for this setting on the Droid and thus far have been unsuccessful in locating this ability.Does anyone know if this setting exists or if there is an app that would do this?

Motorola Droid X :: Phone Auto Application Updates / Now Stuck On Startup Screen

Nov 25, 2010

I just bought my Droid X a couple of weeks ago (2.2 and Rooted). It wanted to do some auto app updates and I told it to do them all not sure if it was before or after that that I noticed a red light by the ear "piece/speaker" and the phone was on and a battery level warning came on which I thought was premature. I plugged in the power cord the light went to green and I looked over a few minutes later and it was dead. I could be a little off on what happened when but that's what happened.

It wont power on now and I've tried holding a few different buttons while powering on and still nothing. I did check the settings the other day and it was successfully backing itself up not sure how to use that backup though. I just looked over after typing this post and the Motorola "M" was on the screen but I couldn't get it to do anything so I pulled the battery and tried again to boot it and nothing.

HTC Droid Eris :: Auto-rotation From Sleep Mode / Delay In Waking From Sleep Mode

Jan 5, 2010

I apologize if these topics were already covered in previous threads.I wasn't able to find anything related in my searches. Auto-rotation for keyboard when answering a text message received in sleep mode does not work. If I actively send a text when phone is already awake, keyboard rotates with no problem but when I go to reply to a text that I received while phone is in sleep mode, the keyboard does not rotate. Is this the norm?I am also experiencing a delay when the I wake the phone. After unlocking the phone, I used to go straight to my home page, now I get a "loading" message which takes several seconds. Is this due to the number of apps I have loaded? Is it possibly due to number of photo frames I have on my home screen or the complexity of the wallpaper?

Motorola Droid X :: Enabled Auto Matic Update For Market Apps Still Won't Auto Update

Sep 26, 2010

So one of the cool things about Froyo is being able to check off Enable Automatic Update for market apps. So i have that checked off for like 80+% of my 80+ apps (that took a while to do let me tell you). Now i have had three apps have updates available since i checked off the box, yet they never actually automatically updated. I waited, hours, still never updated. Is there a setting i need to modify? Do i need to tell it what time of day to do it? Anyone else noticing this? I only really want it in apps that i don't care about reading the new features. But it is annoying that i have it enabled and it does nothing.

HTC Incredible :: New 2.2 Screen Rotation

My 2.1 rom only went into landscape mode when I turned the phone counter-clockwise. I have found that since updating to 2.2, the screen will go into landscape if I go either direction! I really liked the old one way landscape, and I wonder if this was intended, or just the result of an unfished leak...

Motorola Milestone :: Screen Auto Tilting Disabled

Dec 18, 2009

I got my Motorola milestone just yesterday and I'm pretty damn happy with it. One thing though, the screen won't automatically flip horizontally when I tilt it. It does when I open the keyboard though. I could swear sometimes it did flip on its own, so I'm not sure if it was just my imagination or what. Any advise?I'm able to play abduction without any problems, so I'm sure it isn't a hardware thing.
