Galaxy S6 Edge screen rotation issue

Has anyone else experienced a screen rotation issue on the S6 edge? My device is locked in portrait mode and will not rotate. Before you ask, YES SCREEN ROTATION IS TURNED ON.
I have spoken with both Verizon and Samsung tech support and they didn't have a clue other than swap out my phone. Doing a google search on S6 screen rotation issues pulls up a few hits with other people reporting the same issue. I have done 6 factory resets so far and it has not corrected the issue. I'm convinced this is a software glitch that will someday be fixed (hopefully soon).
I wanted to see how big an issue this was so I can determine if I stick it out with the S6 edge or return it within my 14 days and get something else.

Facing the same issue. Screen does not rotate at all. Went to local Verizon store, was informed that they do not have the device in stock and would only be able to replace once it's stocked.
The irritating part is that they didn't have any estimate when the replacement would be available. Seriously, either Samsung or Verizon underestimated the phone.
On pressing further, the alternate provided option was that I can order the new piece at retail price which would be overnight delivery and once I return my existing device, I would get the amount back.
I have decided to wait couple of days before taking this option. But I am wondering whether they actually don't have the device or they just want a new sale instead of replacement.

Galaxy S6 Edge Screen Rotation and S Health steps NOT WORKING

I know about the screen rotation problem after some research. I bought my S6 edge on 4/10 and the screen rotation stopped working on 4/24. Now my s health daily steps stopped work today(4/26). I called samsung this morning and they tried to clear my cache to fix the screen but no luck on fixing. They think the s health problem is due to the screen problem also. Is there any other tips for a fast fix or do I wait for a software update? Also does anyone else have both these problems together?
Thanks
Victor

No help anywhere. Verizon told me to wait for the update coming soon. So i been waiting and checking everyday. I can replace my phone with a refurbished one but I want a new one since mine was new when this issues first occur.

S6 Edge Screen Rotation

Brand new phone and I'm wondering if I need to return it due to non-working screen rotation. When I have the camera open, all of the camera options are upside-down. Changing the screen rotation makes no difference with any feature so I am wondering if this new phone is broken?

I'd return it; it's a known, reported issue, i.e.,

ZR screen rotation issue with lollipop

I updated my Xperia ZR to Lollipop yesterday, and found out the screen doesn't rotate itself when it's connected to the charging dock. Instead of rotates to horizontally in Android 4.1-4.4, the home screen now stays on portrait mode in Android 5.0.2. Anyone else has the same issue?

Hi,
Regarding the screen rotation, have you guys for example tried to boot the phone into safe mode to see if same behaviour appear?

IPhone 6 Plus screen rotation issue

The home and lock screens on my wife's iPhone 6 plus rotate. Can this be shut off? And if I turn on the screen rotation lock, will it stop rotation of the lock and home screens as well as the regular use screens (i.e. - apps, Safari, etc...)? Can these two functions (lock and home screen rotation and all other screen rotation) be set independent of each other?

I feel your pain! I have the same problem with my new iPhone 6. My iPhone 5s has cooler/brighter whites, but my iPhone 6 with a supposedly better screen shows them warmer/duller. I stopped at two T-Mobile stores this morning to compare my phone with their display models, and in both cases my phone look dull and drab. Because of the warmer whites, text has less contrast and therefor looks blurrier, too. I was considering going to an Apple Store to see if they could exchange the phone, but as you've demonstrated there's no guaranty that you'll get a better phone. After spending $850 on what I thought was a phone with a bigger, better display, I now wish I'd just stayed happy with my 5s or even considered switching back to an Android phone.

Galaxy S6 Edge Preorder Allocation Issue

I am still waiting on my preorder of the Galaxy S6 Edge 64 GB. There are numerous stores in the area that have it ready for pick up today and yet I can't get my so called "pre-order." My wireless chargers are in at the store. I went in again on Saturday to see if there was an ETA and there was not an update available. The associate checked the system and there were 68 units sitting in the DC. Only reason I preordered was for the free charger. The longer it takes to get in the units, this may hurt my trade in value on my Galaxy S5. Today it is $145 but next week it could be $100.
Can somebody please check on the poor allocation of product in the market? How can stores have it to buy today when you haven't fille preorders.
This will probably be my last time to preorder at Best Buy no matter what incentives you throw at me.

Hello grimlock49,
Buying a new phone is always an exciting experience, and the best way to ensure you will have your favorite phone when it is released is by pre-ordering it. I can certainly understand your disappointment that several days have gone by, and you have not received the anticipated e-mail notifying you that it is ready to be picked up. I'm truly very sorry this has happened to you.
Using the e-mail you registered on the forum, I was able to locate your pre-order, and it looks like they are available, and ready to be picked up. I hope by now you have received your notification, and are able to visit the store at your earliest convenience. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. I assure you your feedback regarding the time you had to wait will be documented for review.
Again, I sincerely apologize for any frustration you have encountered and I hope you are enjoying your new phone!
Regards,

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.

Screen rotation doesn't work on Dell Venue 11 Pro

I'm running Windows Technical Preview for Enterprise Build 9879 on a Dell Venue 11 Pro. It has the Intel Core-i5-4300Y processor and Intel HD graphics chipset.
All devices are recognized in Device Manager, but the screen does not rotate if I turn the tablet.
Is anyone else having issues with screen rotation?

I have Dell venue 11 pro 5130 version with the atom processor. And I think my tech preview just updated to the 9879 Build... I have only had tech preview installed less than a week.
The previous build I had (and I have no idea what the build was) Did rotate the screen just fine, but now I have to manually toggle the orientation.

What's going on with ios8... Screen rotate does not work anymore, wifi doesn't work very well anymore and apps are crashing or running slow... Come on Apple sort this mess out

ssince I updated my iPhone 5s to ios8 ive had nothing but problems...
first the the screen rotation is not working... Checked the settings and lock is off.... The wifi is intermittent, some times it works sometimes it doesn't....
the he iPhone is really slow now, like really labouring.... It hangs and crashes all the time.... I have to close apps down completely because they won't work from quick launch anymore.... Even writing this the phone is labouring.... It's like my old 48k spectrum.... I don't expect this from Apple and when you spend £400-500 on a phone you expect it to work and play propperly.... come on Apple you need to sort out this mess of a update.... Ios 7 was no bother......

Same issue here... iphone5S 64GB. It's intermittent. Sometimes the rotation works fine, sometimes it doesn't, but most of the time it doesn't work.
The first time I figured out it wasn't working was when all newly-taken photos and videos were showing up in portrait mode though I always hold in landscape mode when photographing.
Rotation lock is disabled (tried toggling it on and off). Tried recalibrating the compass on a whim, no effect (although my compass seems to always require calibration when it's launched now).
This issue only started happening after upgrading to iOS8. I did a reset/restore through iTunes rather than an OTA upgrade.
UPDATE - power-cycling the phone seems to fix it temporarily.

I have just updated my brand new iPad mini 2 with IOS 8.1.2 and the screen rotation became slower ,at the lock screen it became more obvious it takes 1-5 seconds to rotate and the "slide to unlock" slider animation is freezing and lagging ,at the application screen takes 1-3 seconds ,the problem goes when I restart the device ,How Can I solve this problem .

Hi there farahatology,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into general performance issues with your iPad mini. One thing you may want to try, to rule out software issues, is restoring your iPad to factory settings as shown in the article linked below.
