Auto-rotate stops working, accellerometer is working fine?

Last night, I noticed that autorotate in
- Mobile Safari
- Coverflow
- Photos
on my iPhone are is/are no longer working. I was worried that the accelerometer might be broken, but I tried two games that make use of the accelerometer, and both are working fine - Marbles and Labyrinth. I haven't installed anything new since the last time I noticed it working - I think I've set up two imap accounts, and modified my EDGE network setting since, but no new apps.
Has anyone seen this problem? Are any jailbroken apps causing this? I've read about various "auto rotate" problems in these forums and elsewhere online in the past, and it's always assumed the accelerometer is no longer functioning, but as mentioned, it's working fine in some apps that make use of it, so it appears to be a software issue / bug. I will most likely send mine in for service / replacement, but before I do, I was wondering if anyone has any idea or reference about this being a software glitch. I haven't done a restore yet, just wanted to see if it's a problem anyone's seen yet.

I am having the same issue in Safari in a never jail-broken phone. I can launch Safari and when I rotate the phone horizontally, the screen remains vertical. I have been able to get it to rotate on a rare occasion, but then it will not rotate back to vertical unless I exit Safari and reopen it.

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.

Why does my 9810's auto rotate stop working all of a sudden?

My 9810's PIN is: 2978D267
As said in title, the auto-rotate has ceased to work all of a sudden. I've tried removing the battery several times for total reboot and no luck, also tried drawing the keyboard back and forth and no dice. the other anomaly being the inability of recharging its battery with either 1A or 1.5A, wall socket dependant.
I am on the sixth month of use, the place I purchased this handset from is no longer exists so I have no idea how the promised 2 years warranty is supposed to be.
I hope that I can get some clue from here. Thanks.
regardless of race, religion, social status, material, what not

Let's make sure we're on the same page. When you remove your battery, is your phone turned on? Yes = proper battery pull, no = nothing will happen.
If your phone is turned ON, then it's time for an OS reload using BlackBerry Desktop Software.
Try that and post back with your results.

Auto Brightness stopped working on my 2010 MacBook Pro

The auto brightness stopped working on my 2010 MacBook Pro (2,4ghz, 4GB). It doesn't do anything anymore. I've tried restarting. I've also cleaned the surface on the sensor to make sure there isn't any dust sitting on it. And yes, it's auto-brightness is actived. I've also tried deactivating it and reactivating it. I'm running MacOS X 10.6.4. since it was released but I've had this problem for only the last couple of days.
What can I do ?
Any help is welcome.

Hi Linhtran, in regards to your iphone charger acting up its sounds similar to what happened with my macbook I decided to go to a different apple store and ask the same question the man working there said that it was highly unlikely to get two duds in a row I showed him the receipt I got from paying for them and he set up a refund and then looked at my computer and charger he said it was possible my computer was responsible for shorting them out he then took my computer in for testing and thus this was the problem and so far its been working well, I suggest going to your local apple store and telling them what's been happening and if they keep giving you the same answer and still nothings working try taking it to another store, or it could possibly be a electrical problem at your home, the reason I'm thinking this is because I know that apple integrated some kind of block on there chargers to stop high levels of electricity getting to your phone and stuffing it up so if its working in your car that would make sense because a car has a consistent amount of electricity whereas in a house or apartment building you don't know what could be happening with the wires I would try getting an adapter for your country and trying that in the meantime (considering that adapters are built for the specific purpose of converting the volts of electricity to match your equipment) and in the long term getting an electrician to come and check it out, an easy way to know wether this is happening is to see if any of your other stuff (lamps, computers ect) are having the same problem. Hope this helped!

How come auto-rotate sometimes works, and then stops working until i reboot?

I am going to be as specific as possible simply because some people seem to have similar problems, but mostly they just can't get it to rotate. I have a 6, and for whatever reason it is finicky with auto rotating after going into an app. Say i am in messages in portrait mode and i exit in portrait mode. When i go back in in landscape mode it won't rotate without me first putting the phone into portrait, allowing the gyro (or whatever controls this) to reset, and then rotating it back to landscape. However, if i reboot the phone, it will work without issue for a short while, automatically detecting which mode it's in and adjusting itself accordingly, until it stops working again. This happens with most pre-installed apps like Messages, Safari, and Mail. Any help would be appreciated. I also get freeze ups from time to time while typing, where the screen isn't responsive at all after switching modes, so i have to rotate, and then back again to get the keyboard to accept entries.

The issue turned out to be the mouse. It was somehow shorting the USB ports. I tried a different mouse from restart rather than only after the problem began.

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.

X61t upgrade and auto-rotate not working

I just bought an x61t off trademe for $50. I've always coveted one because my old x60s was the best thinkpad I've ever owned. This one is solid and underused. I intend to upgrade to win 8 later, and add some more ram and swap in a SSD. Just use for text input and browsing.
My problems are finding a user manual/guide, finding any thinkvantage legacy upgrade and, the biggest problem is auto rotate and tablet interface buttons don't seem to be working.
Looking on Lenovo sites hasn't been helpful in finding any of this information or solutions. It may be obsolete and unavailable.
can I download button drivers from anywhere? Any other solutions you can help with are appreciated.

Hi syrahnose,
Here's your Hardware Maintenance Manual and here's a Service and Troubleshooting Guide .
You could also run TVSU and see if it comes up with anything for your tablet.
There are quite a lot of guides and manuals here .
Regards,
Dave
Edit: Windows 8 should run fine on your machine. I'm running Windows 8 on a non-tablet x61 and it runs fine.

Auto Rotation not working correctly Radius p55w B5112

It has not worked correctly since I bought it. I have recovered from image fresh again, and then went through and hit windows update and updated 134 updates. Auto rotate does not work in tablet or in presentation mode. The keyboard never shuts off and I can type in tablet mode. If I have this on my lap, the buttons are pressed. I have a lock on my screen rotation, it is greyed out and I cannot access it. Any other suggestions to fix this?? Everthing else works great!

Model Name: P55W-B5112
Part Number: PSVP3U-003003 Support site here If it is brand new and not working correctly then I suggest bringing it back and requesting a replacement or refund. It should work perfectly brand new without having to fuss around.

Safari Auto Fill Stopped working

The auto fill in Safari 4 has stopped working. It used to be when I went to, say, eBay, my name and password would automatically be there. Now, the spaces are blank. But, when I type in the first letter of my ID, the rest of the ID and the Password appear, and function properly.
What happened to this, and why did it change, and how do I get it back to all being there right away?

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Where you see: Usernames and Passwords, make sure that box is checked.
Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities. Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the eBay keychain on the right. Quit Keychain Access. Launch Safari if it isn't running. Navigate to eBay and login. When prompted, click: Always Allow.
Since you are running Snow Leopard, *make sure Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64.* Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*

SMS Auto-Correction Stops Working

I've noticed lately that sometimes I'll be typing and my iPhone's Auto-Correction feature stops working. For example if I were to accidentally type "dod", it would normally correct it and change it to "did". Or if I don't capitalize " i ", it'll change it to " I ". Lately however, this feature hasn't been consistently working and it's becoming increasingly annoying to have to meticulously type out each individual character. Any ideas what might be causing this, or how I could fix it?
Thanks in advance!

You might have inadvertently stored some incorrect spellings in your keyboard dictionary. You can reset it by going to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Keyboard Dictionary.
Check this page for hints on using the keyboard dictionary: http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/#basics.dictionary

Windows 10 Screen Auto Rotation Not Working/Option is not visible or available

I just upgraded to Windows 10 through the microsoft app. Everyhthing works fine except the screen rotation doesn't work at all. The option to able or disable this feature is dimmed meaning that you can't interact with it. Please help if you know the solution.

Same here on Envy x2 13-j001ng, rotation does not work. I have verified that orientation sensor itself works (via Sensor Diagnostic Tool 0.7.2) and sensors services are running, but rotation does not work. Additionally, accelerometer controls in Asphalt 8: Airborne don't work either, so I suspect an issue lies within WIndows.

Ipad 3g volume buttons, sleep, and rotation stopped working

Yesterday, the volume buttons, mute switch, sleep button, and rotation all stopped working at the same time on my Ipad 3. The top button still works for powering on/off and resetting the Ipad. I did notice the unit was warmer than usual when it happened, but have seen that in the past after extensive use.
My hunch is that it's the button and ribbon causing the problem internally - either stopped working or came loose. Any thoughts or experiences from others is appreciated.

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
