Lenovo A916 Has Lost 'Auto-Rotate' Since Upgrade to Dual SIM/Dual Standby

When I first received this phone shortly before Christmas from a UK supplier, it did not operate with Dual Standby. Only rebooting allowed you to swap SIMs.
I have since been successful in updating the firmware build to A916_S1205_141013 which gives me Dual SIM/Dual Standby and is a lot less biased towards a Chinese user and is multi-lingual.
Google services are all there too.
My pleasure was somewhat dampened when I discovered that I can no longer 'auto-rotate' the likes of jpeg files in Gallery. I checked that the facility is turned on in Settings>Display. Apps which force a landscape format, e.g. Netflix work fine.
I loaded an app called Hardware Info which confirms that my phone has a 3-axis accelerometer, which I assume is how it knows which way up it is!
I have also used the ServiceIT app as mentioned in this forum. This confirms that my G-Sensors are working.
Does anyone have any ideas what else I could try to reinstate autorotate?
Incidentally, I got my stock firmware upgrade from www.needrom.com.
Lenovo A916, KitKat 4.4.2, build A916_S1205_141013
SIM 1 - Three 4G, SIM 2 - O2 2G

My Mac has gone really slow since upgrading to Mavericks. Any suggestions as to how to speed things up again?

My Mac has gone really slow since upgrading to Mavericks. Any suggestions as to how to speed things up again?

First, back up all data immediately unless you already have a current backup. If you can't back up, stop here. Do not take any of the steps below.
Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|timed? ?o' | tail | awk '/:/{$4=""; print}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Reset the System Management Controller.
Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
Step 4
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

ICal has lost all events after upgrade to 10.8.3.

iCal has lost all events and calendars except for birthdays after upgrade to 10.8.3. If I sync to my iPhone, will it wipe them from the phone, or will it get the events from the phone?
I have Time Machine working, but am unsure how to restore calendars from it.
PLEASE HELP.

Not sure why you think having to re-authorize would indicate an incompatibility or problem with their software unless you meant you have to keep re-authorizing the plugin?
Some plugins need re-authorization when you change a certain file or files in your system.. or if the file structure itself changes.. or the drive is renamed for example.. It could simply be that IK used a different form of authorization routine to their other plugins or versions of their plugins, with Amplitude 2.... Nothing to do with an incompatibility...or problems.
Anyhow I am happy you got the matter resolved and yes, random bursts of white noise is a classic sign of a plugin running in demo mode and needing authorization or re-authorisation as I suspected in your case.

Safari has stopped working properly since upgrading to Mountain Lion. Have parental controls in place and it will not add websites. Also short cuts at top of tabs now all messed up!

Since upgrading to mountain lion the other day (from lion) safari has not been working properly. I have parental controls in place but seem unable to add new web pages to allowed list - wasn't expecting to have to anyway - these are webpages that were working perfectly well on safari prior to upgrade. Also the shortcuts above the tabs on safari are all now messed up.
Any advice on how to fix - I am not a computer expert so keep it simple please!
In the meantime I am having to use Firefox.
Thanks
Andrew

Since the Portico update, my phone no longer shows images in landscape mode. I can no longer do landscape mode while texting. It also will no longer scan bar codes. Anyway to fix this?

My iMac has slowed down incredibly since upgrading to 10.9.

I have an iMac running Intel 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo with 4GB of RAM.
All of my Mac apps like iPhoto, iTunes and even opening browsers is painfully slow.
I haven't added any virus stuff or anything since the upgrade; the upgrade was almost certainly the cause.
Does anyone know why? Is there a fix for this?

Thanks Michel.

Portege Z10T has 'lost' 4g hardware since Win 8.1 update

Since I updated last night to Win8.1, my Portege Z10t 4G i5 model no longer has an aircard/4G anymore.
I've tried re-installing original drivers/software and the updated software, to no avail.
Numerous restarts and checking for updates too.
Help please.
If it helps this is the Telstra 4G version.

Hi
I did not find an LTE (4G) driver on the Toshiba Australian page but I found one on the Toshiba EU driver page.
[Toshiba LTE Driver Windows 8.1 - 64 Bit|http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=4&selSeries=362&selProduct=7902&selSh ortMod=null&language=13&selOS=46&selType=all&yearu pload=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=a llMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=al l&selectedLanguage=13&type=all&page=1&ID=88595&OSI D=46&driverLanguage=42]
The notebooks should be the same therefore in my opinion the driver should work too.
Try it out and please give me a feedback.

Bluetooth settings for BT Arc Mouse lost on restart since upgrade

Upgraded OSX last night and on restart my Bluetooth BT Arc Touch mouse is not working.
I remove the mouse from the bluetooth settings and, resetting the mouse, it then finds the device and I pair the mouse again.
It works!
Then when I shutdown my MacBook Pro, next time I switch on the mouse does not work again. Its showing as "Not Connected" in the bluetooth settings.
Very, very frustrating.
Have downloaded latest Arc Touch mouse drivers but no fix.
Any ideas?

PS.
In menu bar, bluetooth icon states "Bluetooth: Not Available".
Bluetooth is switched on.
The mouse is blinking red and green which means "Device is discoverable (trying to connect to the transceiver)."

5800 has an auto-rotate bug

Hi
After only 7 days of ownership, the phone developed a problem with autorotate.
All apps were stuck in landscape mode & refused to budge back to portrait.
I had downloaded a few apps from Ovi last night, and upgraded the memory card to a Sandisk Class 2 16GB.
The spirit "Level" app works, so I guess it's more likely a 5800 software/firmware than sensor problem.
Tried advice given by others on this issue - turned autorotate off, restarted phone, then re-enabled. This didn't work on first attempt, but did the second time.
Called Nokia support - they talked me through a hardware reset, though not sure what good this did as I'd got it to work already by above method.
Most annoying, because I'm otherwise loving this phone (although coming from a Samsung Z510, that's not a big ask ... !).
Hope it doesn't happen again.

I've recently come up with a one-button, 1-click easy fix for this problem. If there was a widget that let us control display preferences like orientation, this problem would be solved. As it is, I hit the dashboard key every time I'm in fullscreen mode and I want to check the time or switch the skip to the next itunes song, so having a widget action to make this switch would be a decent stop-gap solution.
Can anyone point me in this direction?

IPhotos has lost my Photos when upgrading to Yosemite

When I upgraded to Yosemite like many people I have seen on forums there was a issue with upgrading the iPhoto library when upgrading to 9.6. Finally it looked like it had worked but now all of my photos do not appear in iPhoto. The files seem to be there still as the iPhoto library file is still1.26TB in size (i have a lot of photos). I have tried doing a full rebuild of the Library but it did nothing. I also purchased iPhoto Library Manager but this does not help either. Please can anyone help?
I am using iPhoto 9.6, OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) on a iMac (27-inch, Late 2013). The Library is stored on a "My Book Thunderbolt Duo", 8TB in raid 1 configuration.

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

The internet has been really slow since upgrading to lion.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has had issues with lion and the internet. So far the internet is running really slow even though I have a new router and a high speed internet connection. I was thinking it might be the ram because I only have 2 gb. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

2 GB RAM is the minimum for running Lion - it prefers more; my Macbook now works better once I doubled it to 4 GB. If yours can handle more, I'd go for it.
You don't have your model in your profile, so I can only link you to the general site; you'll need to check which model identifier yours has:

My phone has lost its pictures since i upload the 7.0.2 softwear, but i had them backed up how do i get them back??

I updated my phone with the 7.0.1 softwear yesterday it uploaded but has left some of my apps and pictures ff my phone, they just keep saying they are downloading when i click on them???

12344321jonny,
You should be able to go to your icloud and reload everything that was on your phone. apps, pictures, music and etc. cause if you always make sure it does it back ups then you will still have this in your icloud.

Since upgrading to iOS 7.0 on my 3G iPad I have been unable to send SMS's, is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I have recently upgraded my 3G iPad2 to IOS 7.0 and I have since then been unable to send SMS's (not using iMessage). Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Thanks everyone, I thought that I had lost some functionality since upgrading as I can only send messages via iMessage and in our household there are 4 iOS devices and whenever anyone sends a message they do not receive the reply but it does come up on my iPad ( I don't always carry my iPad) so it can be hours before realising that the message has been received. The only solution I have is to turn off iMessage on the iPad and then everyone receives their messages normally.

ITunes library has lost the past year's worth of content, but the files are still in the directory

Help! How do I restore the past 11.5 months' worth of content to my iTunes library?
Well this is weird. Suddenly my iTunes library has lost everything added since late January 2014 - almost a year's worth of content. Podcasts, audiobooks, iTunes purchases, MP3s bought elsewhere and imported, movies, TV shows - all gone. Apps added in the past year also seem to be gone, although apps acquired before then have the most current update. As far as I can tell, all of that content is in the file directory structure - it's just not in the iTunes library system.
Curiously, the "last played" data all seems current, except that many of the more recently played songs have gone missing; tracks that were modified in the past year, but were added in 2013 or before, are still listed as being modified in 2014. Anything changed in the past year remains changed; but anything added in the past year simply isn't there.
I have no idea what caused this. Earlier today iTunes crashed for random reasons, but that happens every week or two anyway; and for that matter this issue could have developed a couple of days ago, and I just didn't notice it. (I'm sure it can't be older than that - I would have noticed.)
I've got good Time Machine backups, but I'm not sure how to go about restoring this - I suspect that this help page tells me the steps I need to take, but I'd like to have some confirmation before going through those steps. (And that procedure doesn't involve Time Machine anyway, right?)
Theoretically I suppose I could also go through my directory and add the files to iTunes, one by one, but it would be extraordinarily complicated to figure out what needed to be added. I'd also like to get back all the metadata - played, unplayed, play count, last played, and so on.
Restoring the files from Time Machine doesn't seem to make sense to me, because the files aren't actually missing. Would restoring an iTunes Library.itl file help at all?
Thanks in advance!

Hm ... I guess I can't edit the post above. Anyway, I seem to have solved it by ...
Quitting iTunes.
Going into Home / Music / iTunes, and renaming the file "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library (corrupt).itl".
Entering Time Machine, and restoring the "iTunes Library.itl" file from a few days ago. I went back two days, which seemed far enough back to be "before" the problem but not far enough back to have trouble with recent acquisitions.
Re-opening iTunes - and everything seemed to be back in order.
So that's fine for now. We'll see if the solution is stable.
Very, very tentative assignment of blame: I believe iTunes crashed earlier today after I'd synced photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, and then iTunes crashed while iPhoto was closing (and taking its sweet time doing so). If that was indeed the case, that's at least the second time in the past couple of months that trying to sync iPhone photos to iPhoto has caused me significant problems. (The last time led to 80% of my iPhone suddenly being occupied by "Other", and a full restore of the darn thing.)

IPhoto does not recognise iPhone since upgrade to iOS 5.1

iPhoto does not recognise iPhone since upgrade to iOS 5.1. Have tried every suggestion I could find but to no avail. Using iPhoto 9.3 and IOS 5.1. This has only started happening since upgrade to IOS 5.1
Image capture does not recognise iPhone device either, yet iTunes synchronises ok

Any helpful suggestions to resolved this issue welcome!
