Auto rotate N97

I got another N97 today. My old one would auto rotate the screen when turned. But the new one does not, it onle does when you open it. I have tried looking to see if I can find a setting to change, but no luck.
Am I missing something?

Annoying fact: N97 auto rotate while making phone ...

While you are in a conversation and you look back at the screen, you want to press hold,loudspeaker, cut off line or other in call function, the phone will auto rotate to landscape mode, which is very annoying, since the buttons layout will be different and will cause delay.
On the iphone, this auto rotate function is switched off during conversation, which is very practical.
Is there a function on the N97 to turn off the auto rotate during call conversation WHILE the general auto rotate function is switched on in Settings?

Just tried it on fw v2.0, it still rotates during a phone call and there is no option to turn auto-rotation off during phone calls.
I found this design flaw in the UI very annoying. The phone rings, you pull it out of your pocket to answer and the screen rotates to landscape, and let's face it the N97 is not the snappiest phone so I missed a few calls waiting for the screen orientation to get itself sorted. I ended up just turning auto-rotation off, it will still change to landscape orientation when you open the keyboard.
*** Any Nokia employees reading this please forward this issue to the N97 team so that for the next fw update they can either turn auto-rotation off when receiving/during a phone call or include an option for this. ***

N97 Auto Rotate and Backlight of Keyboard

Normally the backlight of keyboard will turn on when the keyboard is open and screen will auto rotate. However, the following situation will trigger the backlight of keyboard when the keyboard remain close:
1. Auto-rotate display: On.
2. Sensors: On.
3. Then turn the phone so that screen rotate from portrait to landscape.
This happen on my N97 with firmware 21.0.045.
Is it a bug?

how do you see back light on actual keyboard when you don't slide it out? the device is close up and i can't see on the keyboard so i can't notice if there is back light on keyboard when screen rotate vis versa from landscape mode to portrait mode. I have
1. Auto-rotate display: On.
2. Sensors: On.
3. Then turn the phone so that screen rotate from portrait to landscape and i can see any lighting through the slider.
Nop it's not a firmware bug.

Auto-rotate function disabled with v20 update on N...

Has anyone who's updated to v.20 on the N97 experienced a disabling of their auto-rotate functionality. I've been looking for some info on this but am not getting much on it. I know two peope who updated and the feature has literally vanished from the handset. Any advice or suggested fixes?

Can you not find it under
settings > Phone > Sensor settings > Turning Control? If you can't find there then maybe reinstall the firmware.
Good luck

Yoga 2 Pro tent mode and auto-rotate not working

I have had a Yoga 2 Pro since June. Recently the Tent mode and auto-rotate features do not work.
When I put the Yoga 2 Pro into Tent mode the keyboard and touch pad are still active underneth. However, they shutoff when in tablet mode. Lenovo Transition starts automatically and is running.
Auto-rotate does not work at all now. The screen is un-locked.

Yoga 8 and 10 Tablets - KitKat 4.4.2 - Auto-Rotation

After upgrading to KitKat 4.4.2, some customers report auto-rotation does not always occur while changing modes on their Yoga 10 tablet (B8000-F/H). Reports include the Lenovo Launcher home page, Facebook, and SolMail. Hard resets do not resolve the issue.
Please note that Lenovo has escalated internally on this issue. I was able to reproduce these reports on a KitKat 4.4.2 V24 build. I noticed slow auto-rotate and I quickly developed a habit of automatically "shaking" the device one time when changing the mode to force the auto-rotation.
These reports originated from this thread: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Android-based-Tablets/KitKat-roll-out-for-Yoga-Tablets-starting-Jun...
Note: This has only been reported by Yoga 10 Tablet users. If this is occuring on your Yoga 8 Tablet, please let me know so I can escalate it for the Yoga 8.
Thanks to YannisK for the pics.

Print Module: Auto-Rotate to fit and Photo Info Text

When in the print module with "Auto-Rotate to fit" selected, A landscape images correctly rotates to fit the page, but the text that is selected in the "Photo Info" setting does not rotate. Thus, the text appears along the left side of the image .
Any suggestions to get it to appear correctly on the bottom?
Also, Font size is selectable but not font type.

What OS?

Our HP laserjet , model P2050 , does not print on both sides even though the " auto rotate " box is

checked. Is there someway to cause the printer to print on both sides? ( There is another printer box that comes up in other instances and it has a "Preferance" box which , when clicked on, gives a different way to choose two-sided printing, and that one works to cause the printer to do as wanted.)
The box that shows " auto rotate' doesn't have a print preview.

Auto rotation is not working properly with iOS 7.1.2 upgrade

I recently upgraded my iPad to iOS 7.1.2 and noticed that auto rotation isn't functioning properly. How will this problem fix, will I have to wait till the next update ??
It takes too much time, or doesn't happen at all.
I have an iPad mini with retina display, 128GB storage.
Thanking you in anticipation .

Try a reset and see if it fixes the problem. You will not lose any data.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Auto-rotate is not working in my Nokia X6. Please ...

Hi. So I recently bought a Nokia X6, and everything seemed to work fine. However, just today the auto-rotate stopped working on my phone. I turned the sensors off and then turned them on again and it stopped working. What could be the reason?
Also, now when I turn my phone on, it just turns off again, and I need to turn it on again.
P.S: I don't know if this has an effect, but I was installing an app on my phone, when the battery went empty, and the phone turned off in the middle of the installation...
EDIT: Also, my phone gave me a "System error" message twice...

It's ok, I did a hard reset and everything is working fine now. I guess the problem was with the app that I installed. By the way, that app wasn't compatible with the phone, as the phone gave me a message that it isn't, and yet I insisted on installing it. So perhaps here lies the problem.

[FIX] Yoga 13 auto-rotates to portrait on startup after Win 8.1 upgrade

This was going to be a question post but I just stumbled across the answer on my own, so here's the solution instead!
After upgrading the Yoga 13 to Windows 8.1 through the Windows Store app, and even after installing all the new drivers, I found that every time I restarted when the lock screen came up it would suddenly rotate 90 degrees left to portrait mode. It would fix itself if I rotated the laptop or hit the hardware button to turn auto-rotate off and on again, but still kinda annoying.
So here's the fix:
-Seach for "local services" and open it up
-Scroll down to "Sensor Monitoring Service"
and double-click
-Mine had its startup type set to manual, change this to automatic
-Restart the computer
Note:
My Yoga was running a clean install of Windows 8 when I upgraded to 8.1, so I'm not sure if this applies to a Yoga with the factory install intact (or if it even gets this problem with the factory install, since I don't see any other posts about people having this problem).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

With a factory configuration the serivce is set to Manual, Trigger Start, and this config seems to work well...

8.1 | 11s | Auto-rotate only works for landscape & button does nothing

The way auto-rotate is sort of doing it's own thing right now. The way it works is if the screen is upside down (winbutton up) -> tablet mode, rightside up -> laptop mode. Those are the only two switches that it makes, and it doesn't rotate to a portrait mode, which I would really like.
The auto-rotate button doesn't seem to do anything anymore. The dialog will appear on-screen but it rotates the same wether it's on or off.
I can make the switch with ctrl+alt+<,> but that doesn't disable the keyboard, and it flips back to landscape when I move it.
Is there some list of upgrade issues?
Other issues I have/had are: cpu throtling in tablet mode, dolby stopped working though audio works fine with new driver. Also the upgrade messed up my DNS settings. Updating the wifi driver & forgetting the network driver didn't solve it. I had to go to the conection's settings and set the DNS manually on IPV4 and disable IPV6.

Check for newer drivers and install if any, then post if you still have the issue.

N95 & Auto-Rotate Function in V21.0.016

Wife & I both have new N95's RM-159 from 3.
Firmware Version is V21.0.016 as mentioned in subject line.
What neither phone seems to have is the auto-rotate function. After hours of searcing I've been unbale to find out why with this version of the firmware this isn't supported on these phones. Under Display settings no mention of auto-rotate. I've checked software updater & am told the FW is the latest revision.
Do I need to install the accelerometer plugin to get this function to work as you have to do with rotateMe(c)Samir?
Any help would be appreciated before I ring 3 customer services and ask them why it isn't supported.
TIA.

Your phones are normal.
The N95 doesn't have that function as part of it's firmware. Only the N95 8GB has had this feature added in the v20 firmware.
The firmware on the N95 is not the same as the firmware on the N95 8GB.
It is rumoured that the feature will be in the next firmware release for the N95 which is due in the next few months.
So the only way to get auto rotate on the old N95 is to install a program like rotateme.

Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?

Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?
I have experienced this on iPad 1 as well as iPad 2.
Basically, when you set the side switch to toggle screen orientation (or mute), after a period of use I will have either my sound cease to function or the ipad screen will not orient correctly. This depends on what i have chosen the side switch to toggle. I am not sure what causes it. The time it takes for the problem to appear is inconsistent. Some say it is caused by third party applications.
One can find numerous threads on here if you search for "sound on my ipad stopped working" or "orientation not working". It appears to be the same problem. Fudging with the toggle switch settings can fix it (but it takes a weird order to get it out of its non functioning loop).
Here is a thread that addresses the sound issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15263298#15263298

Its only for notifications.. it is not for sound from videos or music!

After ios 7 update on ipad mini, auto rotation stop working. Anyone facing this issue too?

After ios 7 update on ipad mini, auto rotation stop working. Anyone facing this issue too?

for ipad,
if you go to settings-General
You can select between using the side switch to lock rotation or mute. If you select one mute, then the lock rotation icon will show up in the control center. If you select lock rotation, then the mute will show up. THe side switch is then used for the other option.
