Droid Maxx XT1080M Screen Rotation Problem and Notification Drop Down Issue

My droid maxx xt1080m screen rotation got stuck on landscape while viewing photos the other day. I went into settings and unchecked the box for auto rotate screen. My photos were still in landscape and would not go back to portrait. I turned off the phone and restarted, went back to the gallery and pictures were back to portrait. I then went into the settings and checked the box for auto rotate screen, went back to photos and they will not rotate. Nothing and I mean nothing will rotate at all. Photos in the gallery that used to rotate, apps that used to rotate will not rotate. How do I fix this?
Now I also notice that the notification list at the top will not drop down when swiped down. I will have to swipe it 7-8 times to get it to come down. This is my second maxx as the first one got stuck in a loop on boot up and would not reset.

Can you boot into SAFE MODE ??  You can also UNINSTALL that Gallery Lock APP from the online Android Market (PLAY).
Safe mode:
- Power Off
- Power On
- Press & HOLD both up & down volume buttons at the same time -- for like 3 mins while it boots up. Keep holding these down!
- Phone should eventually come up and say SAFE MODE in lower left corner ..
Does THAT work???  If so, see if that app is in your APP drawer and try to uninstall it.
If that doesn't work, you can boot into the Maintenance Menu using a similar procedure that can get you to the ability to do a Factory Reset, if that's what you want to do.
let us know.

  • Message says "screen resolution problem" and says to set higher than 1020 x 600. My screen resolution is set higher. Why am I getting this message all the time I use firefox?

    when I go on to Firefox I keep getting the message that there is a screen resolution problem and it says I should set it higher a than 1020 X 600. But my screen resolution is set higher. It is set at 1360 x 768. Why am I getting this message continuously?

    I've had the problem too... for at least a month or more. It would happen when logging into yahoo mail. But it happens only with firefox... not explorer. I contacted yahoo and he had me first disable add ons... no change... and since it didn't happen with explorer, they said to contact firefox. So I followed the advice of cor-el's post (on this page) and made the text on my page smaller... It did fix the issue.... but, I liked the size of the text the way I had it. So, how do I get it back to that size, and not have that annoying message any longer? thanks!!

  • IOS 8.3 notifications drop down does not expand on full screen iOS 8.3 iPhone 5.1

    HHow can I get notifications drop down to expand to full screen in iOS 8.3 on iPhone 5.1? See attached screen shots

    The resetting of the iPhone has helped for a week, and because of that I have tried something more drastic: restore the iPhone with iOS reinstall. So far no problem after 1 day. I will keep you posted. Maybe I will need to set this iPhone as new, which I really hate to do because I will loose all contacts and saved Wi-Fi hotspots. I don't want to either reset the settings since it is quite time consuming to log in the accounts (I don't remember the passwords).

    I am trying to use the trial creative cloud software on a PC windows 8.1 - I've downloaded and removed Photoshop CC 2014 two times - every time I open the file it says there is a problem and it shuts down and closes. I can open indesign and maybe other apps but photoshop no. Any ideas?

    I don't think I can access the crash report? Excuse the ignorant questions I'm about to make am a relative tech novice.
    Soo - as mentioned every time I open photoshop it crashes - it just says there's an error and the program will shut down and if there's a solution windows will notify me. Then nothing...
    I've tried to look in photoshop files for the detailed crash report & the system event viewer but cannot find a file with those names. I've also looked in the windows files for files with those names but cannot find them either - so I don't know where to look.
    Any guidance would be great.

    I recently downloaded the updates for my ipad. Now, when I connect my ipad to itunes on windows 7, it appears to sync.

  • Illustrator CS4 and my drop down menu displaying different typefaces is no longer displaying font preview.

    I am using Illustrator CS4 and my drop down menu displaying different typefaces is no longer showing all of them, just blank spaces where they would be...that is unless I put my cursor over it and I can then see the typeface. This is more of a nuisance than anything and didn't happen until I updates OS X to Yosemite. I currently am operating OS X  Yosemetie 10.10.2
    I have attached a screen shot. You can see that the font highlighted as the cursor is over it I can see the preview...but one I move the cursor it appears like all the others in the list and is blank.
    HELP!

    Solved using this previous users had the same issue; Font previews not appearing correctly in the character window after upgrading to Yosemite

  • Missing Export and Use Drop Down Lists

    I cannot export my .mov files to any format other than .mov as the Export and Use drop down lists are missing. When I go to File > Export the text for Export and Use are there followed by blank gray space as if the drop down lists never existed.
    I just upgraded to Pro today and had infrequently used QuickTime Player previously. I have the most current version 7.6.5. The other functions appear to be working normally, but I am not a "familiar user" so I can't say for sure.
    Any ideas?

    Well I could not copy & paste the text from the Movie Inspector, so I have typed it below (except for the complete source info).
    Source: C:\....Filename.MOV

    I have also downloaded a couple of iPod hip-hop ad movies (.mov) and they have the same problem (no export drop-down lists), so I don't believe it is the movie format.
    I have not tried to uninstall/reinstall QuickTime Pro yet, but wonder if I should....

  • How do you disable the notifications drop down menu???

    I'm hoping this can be done! I have been working in a painting app and everytime I try to use a stylist near the canvas edges I get the ipad's notifications drop down menu... I tried turning everything off under notifications in the general settings but I'm still getting a drop down menu now telling me that I have no new notifications...arrgggg!

    I don't think you can.  Others using that type of app have also complained.  Send feedback to Apple and the developer.

  • I updated firefox to 4.0 and then to 5.0 and it doesn't look like it is supposed to, I still have the navigation tool bar at the top of my page and the drop down boxes too (file, edit, view etc). Why is this an how can I get the proper new versions?

    When I updated firefox to 4.0 the only things that really changed were a couple of buttons and the position of the tabs, the blue navigation bar and the drop down menus for file etc didn't change at all.
    My computer also freezes when visiting certain websites with firefox, not Every time I visit but frequently. The websites are usually commonly visited websites (Gmail, stuff.co.nz) and don't do it when I am using internet explorer or another computer. This started when I downloaded the upgrade.
    I use a net-book with Windows XP.

    To get the new style UI you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
    If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

  • Lumia 920; Screen rotation problem, seems to be a ...

    Hi,
    Since a week I have a problem where my screen will not rotate anymore. When I soft reset the phone it magically works again, but after some usage with the phone it comes back and I cannot rotate it anymore until the nextt soft reset.
    I hoped a hard reset / restore to fabric settings might help, but it didn't. Did not install alot new apps (only whatsapp actually). There are no updates available on the system to get it more up-to-date than it is.
    Since the problem is gone when doing a reset (for a short time that is) I doubt it is a mechanical problem and I fear Nokia will not see it as a malfunction in their phone. Anyone has seen this problem?

    I will do that, weird thing; When making a photo, It saved sideways in my album.
    Hope the service point have a good solution. But was hoping someone new a quick fix.

  • Screen Rotation problem

    Hi, my screen rotate does not work. I tried everything but... I think that sensor does not work properly because it doesn't matter that auto rotate is on .HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ???

    You may need to perform a software repair using PC companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
    Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
    Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).
