[FIX] Yoga 13 auto-rotat​es 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!

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

  • [Lollipop] Turning Auto-rotate off forces portrait mode

    In various situations, I like to use my tablet in landscape mode, but turn auto-rotate off (watching movies/streams while lying down).
    I do this using the pull-down quick menu. After the update to lollipop however, whenever I turn off "Auto-rotate", the button's name will switch to "Portrait" and my tablet (and app) will rotate into portrait mode, even if it was in landscape mode when I pressed the button. I reckon this is done with e-books in mind, but for my purposes this makes this feature useless.
    Is there any way to restore the original behaviour (tablet stays in the orientation it was in when you decide to turn off Auto-rotate)? If there is not currently, I urge you to change it back to the old way (other lollipop tablets seem to have the old behaviour still from what I could gather from friends).

    Well, that just sounds like an opinion. Do you have any source for that? As I said, my friends' other tablets behave differently.
    Is there anyone from Sony around who can shed some light on this or make inquiries? Or is this a users-help-users-only support forum?
    And @Johnny_dee, please don't hijack threads. The whole discussion now is about a whole other topic. Just open a new topic.

  • 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.

  • Yoga 13: HID Sensor Collection : Auto-rotate functionality

    Hi Guys,
    I bought the Yoga 13 with Windows 8 but the non pro version.  I wanted the pro version on so I can connect to a domain so I did a clean install - where I deleted the partition with the old OS.
    Everything went great and all drivers that were are on the other partition that I left alone installed fine.
    Here is the problem:  I noticed that the auto-rotate functionality no longer works.  After doing some research I found that the HID Sensor Collection is what controls this.  If I look at the device manager I can see that their is a exclamation point next to the HID Sensor Collection Driver along with the Light Sensor driver.
    They both give me the error: 
    This device cannot start (Code 10). 
    The process hosting the driver for this device has terminated.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver - this didn't help.
    I've tried searching for this driver online - no luck.
    I tried using the "update driver software" and it says:  Windows has determined that your driver software for this device is up to date.
    Any ideas how I can get the HID Sensor Collection working?
    Thanks for your help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I had excatly the same problem after Windows 8 Pro N 64bit install, the device manager showed HID Sensor Collection and Light Sensor with exclamation points.
    I found out that this might have something to do with Windows User Mode Driver Framework, Windows Media Player contains and utilises it. As Windows 8 Pro N didn't contain Media player, I downloaded it as Media Feature Pack from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30685. After the install HID Sensor Collection and Light Sensor were fine. Also Simple Device Orientation Sensor appeared.

  • N95 8gb Auto Rotate Screen

    I just downloaded the newest firmware for the n95 8gb.
    I had the heard that the newest firmware allows for auto rotate screen from portrait to landscape and vice versa.

    Thank you....

    Yes, sure !!
    Check I've said having an RM-421 phone. That's the N95-4 or N95 NAM. The N95-2 is RM-320.
    Should I assume that americans (not only north-americans) don't need to rotate their screens ??? :-)

  • 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.

  • How to auto rotate Images on Full Screen Slideshow if pictures were taken mixed Portrait and Landsca

    In Muse: How to auto rotate Images on Full Screen Slideshow if pictures were taken mixed Portrait and Landscape

    There is no way that Muse would automatically rotate the images. What you can instruct Muse to do is whether you want to show all image content and leave blank space in either direction OR scale the image to fill the frame resulting in some cropping, but filling the otherwise blank space.
    The options are Fit Content Proportionally and Fill Frame Proportionally respectively.

  • Auto-rotating portrait pictures in iPhoto Library

    I'm using iPhoto 6.0.5 (316) and when I started importing photos from my old Windows PC, all of my portrait shots were auto-rotated in the library which is awesome. But I just noticed that the last several rolls I've imported aren't doing that. All the images are from the same camera so I'm not quite sure what I did (if anything) to cause the difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The orientation tag is part of the image files EXIF data recorded by your camera when the picture is taken. If iPhoto sees the orientation tag it rotates the image for you.
    Unfortunately, there are lots of things you can do to inadvertently strip an image file of the EXIF data. For example, early versions of iPhoto would export photos with most of the EXIF data removed, at least the makernotes portions.
    Did you open or view the photos that didn't rotate in any software that you didn't use with the others? If so, that may be what happened.

  • Canon, auto rotate, RAW with PhotoShop can not handle portrait!!!

    I shot in RAW using Canon EOS Digi SLRs.
    My Canon bodys have auto rotate, so if I shot a portrait image when it loads into iPhoto it turn it the right way up. This is fine. But I use PhotoShop CS3 (it does it with any PhotoShop version) if I drag an image from iPhoto that is in landscape mode and drop it onto the PhotoShop icon in the dock it moves the RAW file to PhotoShop fine and I can edit this in RAW.
    If the image is in portrait, then when I drag it again to PhotoShop it send a JPG version and not the RAW.
    To get round this I need to export any portrait images I want to process in RAW then load them into PhotoShop.
    Not sure if it's a bug or a feature !!!! but it's been in iPhoto for a year or so.
    Now I could try the "edit using...." as the external editor but I also use Aperture and GraphicConvertor so I just drag to the App I want to use.
    Any ideas?

    Ray,
    I believe that what you see is normal. Perhaps I can explain why.
    You turn your camera 90 degrees to take the vertical shot. Although your camera never shows you this, the shot is horizontal, with an added flag to display as rotated. When you import it into your library, iPhoto recognizes the original RAW photo and saves it in the Originals file. But iPhoto also recognizes the rotate flag, and it obeys. Since the core philosophy of iPhoto is to preserve an untouched original file, the rotated version gets created and saved into the Modified folder (as a jpeg, see below). There is no way to turn this off.
    A note about RAW files. iPhoto will store the RAW file and even export it for you, but it can't display or directly edit the RAW data. So, the RAW file is tucked safely away in the Originals folder, and a jpeg version is created and stored in the Modified folder. In your case, this jpeg is also being rotated to portrait orientation. Again, there is no way to turn this off.
    What you can do about the rotation dilemma is turn off the auto-rotate feature in your camera. Upload using Image Capture to a file on your desktop. Open the portrait photos in Photoshop and save (overwriting the original, unrotated image). Once saved, import the folder into your Library. This should give you the correctly oriented RAW in Originals, which will export when you drag it to Photoshop. Note: Preview will not work for rotating the file, because all it does is add the rotate flag, telling Preview to display the file with rotation. It will look okay, but when you export or upload to a website you will still see the original, unrotated file.
    Regards.

  • Portrait only, auto rotate (apple directive!)

    HI Guys,
    I have an app that looks great in portrait mode it was based on a book and the layout had to be exactly the same as the original.
    apple rejected as it was just in portrait mode and didn't auto rotate. So after some discussion they have agreed that if it auto rotates
    in portrait (upside down) they will accept it. This is my code, I don't seem to be able to prevent it going to landscape when I add auto rotate
    is there a way to have auto-rotate portrait mode only? I'm pulling my hair out cos the client wants it sorted tonight.
    function onChange(event:StageOrientationEvent):void
    switch (stage.deviceOrientation)
    case StageOrientation.DEFAULT :
    trace("Rotated DEFAULT.");
    break;
    case StageOrientation.ROTATED_LEFT :
    StageOrientation.DEFAULT
    trace("Rotated left.");
    break;
    case StageOrientation.UPSIDE_DOWN :
    StageOrientation.DEFAULT
    trace("Upside down.");
    break;
    case StageOrientation.UNKNOWN :
    StageOrientation.DEFAULT
    trace("Unknown.");
    break;
    cheers
    KBN

    hi, i picked this up by reading a few other psts. hope it helps:
    private function stageOrientationChangingHandler(event:StageOrientationEvent):void
         if (event.afterOrientation == StageOrientation.ROTATED_LEFT || event.afterOrientation == StageOrientation.ROTATED_RIGHT) {
              event.preventDefault();
    basically event.preventDefault() keeps the stage from changing to that particular orientation.

  • Yoga 2 Pro Auto-Rotate Disabled (button is gray) on Win 10

    Hi all, Upgraded my Yoga 2 Pro to Win 10 today, and the auto-rotate feature stopped working. The enable auto-rotate button on Win 10 is disabled, and in the display settings, the auto-rotate is switched on, but this doesn't make a difference. Don't know if the problem is with Lenovo or Microsoft, but would appreciate any help I can get...

    Folks - any of you restored back to windows 8 to see if it still works? I did after my win 10 upgrade (with no rotation) and to my dismay, rotation no longer works in the factory image. I spoke to Lenovo and they are treating it like a hardware failure (apparently the factory reimage is the smoking gun for them). I'm starting to wonder if the Win 10 upgrade could have hosed the sensor!? FWIW - I have installed windows 10 about 5 times now on my Yoga 2 Pro, and in every case, the rotation lock function appears as a option (after the graphics drivers are updated by windows update) and pressing the button causes the on screen display to indicate that the autorotate is being toggled.

  • 5800 - Does new firmware fix auto-rotate problems ...

    Ever since V 50.0.005 I've had problems with auto-rotate stopping working after a while (memory leak anyone ?) with a reboot being required to fix it. DAK if this is fixed in V 51.0.006 because if it is I'll go through the hassle of changing my product code to get it early as it's driving me nutzzzzz.

    The real issue lies somewhere else.. atleast thats what I think because I did not face such problem on my Nokia 5800 xm with v  50.0.005. It was happenning just occassionaly and not so frequently or permanently as some posts suggest. 
    Auto rotate should work perfectly when the phone is held vertically.i.e. the top and bottom edges at same distance from the body.. Normaly when the phone is held in palm the bottom edge is nearer than the top edge as it is slanting. The feature will not work 100% in this condition...
