HP Envy X2 screen rotation broken

Hello, since a couple days ago the auto-rotation on my HP Envy X2 stopped working. The only way I can change it is manually in the "Screen Resolution" settings. Not sure whats causing it, any help would be great  ThanksLincoln

My HP Envy X2 auto rotation stopped working after a Windows 10 upgrade. Called HP support several times --- completely useless. One tech was completely lost in Windows 10. All attemps to correct auto rotation failed. Yes, I knew were ALL the settings even better than the foreign HP techs. It would be nice if HP could utilize American labor for American's support instead of these foreign techs. It is really a complete shame when Americans need jobs big American companies like HP are outsourcing. Where is the loyalty for buying an HP?

  • External screen rotation broken?

    Hi all,
    I've got a unibody macbook (first generation) with the Nvidia Geforce 9400M GPU. When I installed Snow Leopard in the place of Leopard, screen rotation stopped working for me. I have a mini-displayport to dual-link dvi adapter connected to matrox triplehead2go digital edition with two 24" flat panels connected for a screen resolution of 3840x1080.
    In Leopard, I set the screen rotation to 90 degrees, and I rotate my two screens and everything is great. In Snow Leopard, no matter what I set the screen rotation to, it never actually rotates the display. According to System Profile, screen rotation is supported:
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M:
    Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
    Type: GPU
    Bus: PCI
    VRAM (Total): 256 MB
    Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x0863
    Revision ID: 0x00b1
    ROM Revision: 3343
    Displays:
    Color LCD:
    Resolution: 1280 x 800
    Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
    Main Display: Yes
    Mirror: Off
    Online: Yes
    Built-In: Yes
    Display:
    Resolution: 3840 x 1080 @ 60 Hz
    Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
    Mirror: Off
    Online: Yes
    Rotation: Supported
    Adapter Type: Mini DisplayPort To Dual-Link DVI Adapter
    Adapter Firmware Version: 1.01
    When the screen is set to be rotated, instead of saying Rotation: Supported, it says Rotation: 90, or 270, or whatever it's currently set to.

    Lack of official support (from Matrox) doesn't have anything to do with the problem.
    I have USB keys, and external hard drives, that aren't officially supported by the manufacturer on OSX, and the drives work just fine because there is no bug in the OSX drivers. Like DVI, USB mass storage works using standards.
    If in Snow Leopard, external drives stopped working when the drive size was exactly 3.5798 GB, it wouldn't matter whether or not the manufacturer of the drive supported OSX, there would still be a problem with the driver.
    The TripleHead2Go is just a monitor, and DVI doesn't support rotation, it's something that's built into the Apple/Nvidia drivers.
    In any case, to prove the point, when I use the TripleHead2Go and set the display size to 1920x1080, rotation works just fine. When I use the TripleHead2Go and set the display size to 3840x1080, rotation doesn't work at all.
    The driver no longer handles rotation at 3840x1080, which it used to in Leopard. If I had $55,000 just to prove a point, I'd buy the Barco LX5 Projector, which supports 3840x1080 natively.
    In any case, the point I'm trying to make is that the device works fine in Snow Leopard, OSX just sees it as an attached monitor. The problem is with the driver not handling 3840x1080 as a display resolution when rotated to portrait. It works just fine in landscape.

  • 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.,

  • 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.

  • I dropped my macbook pro and the screen is broken can i still use it with an external monitor? Or can I or how do I transfer hard drive files to my mac mini?

    I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
    Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!

    I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
    Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
    Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
    And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's.

    So does this mean that I cannot have rotation lock off and the mute function off at the same time? In other words, can I have my screen rotate automatically as I hold my iPad in either portrait or landscape AND hear sounds from my apps at the same time?

    In other words, can I have my screen rotate automatically as I hold my iPad in either portrait or landscape AND hear sounds from my apps at the same time?
    Yes, you can. You can configure the Side Switch (above the volume button) either as Mute switch or Rotation lock.
    Settings > General > Use Side Switch to: choose what you like the Side Switch to function as.

  • How do I restore my ipod to factory settings, but I have a passcode lock, and my screen is broken so I can't type in my password when I connect to itunes?

    Okay so I have had my ipod 4th gen for almost 2 years buy the screen has fallen out of the back casing, (I bought it as refurbished) and I am trying to reset it to factory settings, so when I get a new one I can register my device on apps/games since some apps require that you can only register on one device, but I think the thing that connects to the screen is ripped so the screen won't turn on and I can't physically touch it. What I want to know is how can I restore it with me not being able to type in the password lock since the screen is broken?
    or is there a way to disable the passcode lock through the computer?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • IPhone 5, Is there a way to stop screen rotation for specific apps?

    The automatic screen rotation feature is useful - sometimes, and just plain annoying other times.  I prefer to read my e-mail in portrait mode, however the slightest movement or rotation while doing so will cause the screen to rotate (with the phone generally still in portrait position).  I then have to shake the phone to get it to rotate back.  This is very annoying.
    I would like to be able to lock the screen rotation for only a single app (e.g. mail) while still keeping it active for the camera, or videos.  Many of the book programs that I use, have this feature built-in, however this question is for apps that do not have this built-in.
    The built in rotation lock is all-or-nothing, and is generally a pain to use.  It adds another step to just about everything I do (If I read mail, then want to view a video, I have to go back and unlock it).
    Is there a way to lock the screen rotation for a specific app?

    I would have expected this function to be available in settings where the application specific settings are located.  (At least for the major applications like e-mail).

  • I cannot sync my phone because my device is locked and the screen is broken. how can i get around this?

    My screen on my iPhone 5s 16g has broken and i just received a new one in the mail. i want to sync my old phone to iTunes so i can restore my new one, but cannot sync do to the fact that my screen is broken and i am unable to unlock the phone… how can i get around this?

    You don't. If you use a 3rd party to "fix it" or attempt to do it yourself, Apple will reject the return and charge you the full price of the phone as if you had not returned it at all.
    It's too late. You should have been backing up before it failed.

  • My ipod touch screen is broken and whenever i press the lock screen button, the screen is white, what can i do to fix this?

    so my ipod touch screen is broken, and whenver i try to unlock the ipod screen, all that i can see is the top right hand corner of my ipod, and the rest is all whited out. Also, the jack which support the headphones to stay in place, one of the balls in the jack is pushed in which causes the headphones and stereo jack to slip all the time. I also have a problem which is when i try to sync my ipod to itunes. Last time i did it(which was 4 years ago), i synced my ipod and i started out with 225 songs, after the syncing process was complete, i ended up with 119 songs. I'm afraid to resync my ipod or back up my ipod to a computer because i dont want to lose the wonderful collection of 589 songs i have now. I'd really appreciate it if i got some feedback. Thanks.

  • My iphone 4s' screen in broken, without dropping it.it just went hazy white to dark green and i can no longer see my screen, can i have a screen replacement?

    My iphone 4s' screen is broken. I haven't dropped it or anything, or else it must've shown through its physical appearance. It just went into hazy white and green and now i cannot use it. Can i have a replacement for it? Thanks

    Apple doesn't replace the screen, they replace the entire phone.  If you've tried the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) and your screen is still broken, bring it to Apple for replacement.  If you're not in the warranty period, you will pay $199 for the replacement.
