Twist - Auto-rotate sticks in protrait

If I enable auto rotate with the twist in laptop confiiguration, and rotate it sideways, it will not return to either landscape orentation.  You can flip portrait either way.  putting it in tablet more sometimes fixes it, but sometimes the touchpad ends up 90 degrees off, and a powerdown is the only recovery.

I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but after I turned off auto-rotation by pressing Windows Key + o (the letter, not the number), I "manually" rotate the screen orientation by right-clicking on the desktop --> Graphic Options --> Rotation --> then choose from "Normal" (i.e., laptop); 90 Degrees; 180 Degrees; or 270 Degrees, and it seems to stick.  (The Ctrl+Arrow key combination never worked for me.)
Turning off Auto-Rotation while in Laptop mode:
From the desktop, I just used Windows Key + o until the "Autorotate off" message appeared onscreen.
Alternatively, you can press Windows Key +x --> Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound --> Display --> Change Display Settings --> remove the checkmark from the "Allow the Screen to auto-rotate" box --> Click OK
To Right-Click the desktop "by touch" (e.g., you're already in Tent Mode and the orientation is wrong, and it's awkward to try to use the keyboard):
Press and hold your finger on the desktop and a square will appear. Remove your finger from the desktop and the right-click menu will appear, then touch Graphic Options --> Rotation --> then choose 180 Degrees.
Updated:  Just realized that switching to Tent Mode doesn't turn auto-rotate back on, but if I collapse my screen down into Tablet Mode from Tent Mode, when the screen is about an inch from touching the keyboard, auto-rotate comes back on automatically.  Still, if I press the auto-rotate button above the power button to turn auto-rotate off, when I "manually" adjust the rotation of the screen, it stays in place.  But when I raise the lid again to go back into Laptop Mode, auto-rotation comes back on by itself.
I'd love to find out how to disable whatever turns on the auto-rotation function when the screen is in a certain position.

  • Cannot Disable Auto-Rotat​e on Twist s230u

    I want to completely disable the screen auto-rotation on my Twist s230u and prevent it from re-enabling at all.  The only modes I use it in are tablet mode or laptop mode, so I have no use for this.  Is there a way to do this?
    The checkbox under the Screen Resolution section of Display Properties doesn't seem to do jack.  The screen still rotates when this is unchecked.  I've also rolled back the driver of the Lenovo PM Device from 1.67 to 1.66 as per this thread.  Can't say I've noticed a difference after this either.
    Any other ideas?  Thanks.

  • S230u reinstallation and auto-rotate lock button

    Some time ago (after switching to SSD) I reinstalled Windows 8 and upgraded to 8.1. I have made a fresh installation as I could not get the image copying from HDD to SSD to work properly.
    The OS has been working great so far, but the one thing I am really missing is the auto-rotate lock button next to the power button. It does not work at all and never has.
    I do have the System Update 5 software for installing packages from Lenovo and have installed all of the drivers it recommended except for Password Manager and IRST which I do not need.
    I have also manually installed the 'Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 8.1 (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad' package which I expected to be the thing I was missing.
    Is there any additional software that I should install or something that I should enable to get the functionality?
    I know Windows+O does the same thing, but when you are in tablet mode that key is not that handy.

  • Nokia N95 - I don't have Auto rotate

    Hey there, I have the original N95 not the 8 GB and I don't have the auto rotate, I plugged my phone into my PC and tried updating the software but it says it's up to date. My sister has the same phone and she has it but not me.... Is there any way I can get it too????
    Also my sisters phone is a little different to mine although it is the same model, her lights are all blue and mine are white my phone seems a little bulker then hers and she has a camera shutter and mine doesn't... I was just wondering whats the difference? is hers a different model???? is this the reason why I can't get auto rotate? cause her's is different?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    There are a few varients of the N95 for example the N95-1 or N95-3,
    You can check this on the sticker at the back of the phone under the battery.
    If yours if of a different varient and usally tied to network (branded) then you might not be able to do a software update and have the latest generic firmware untill it is approved by your network.
    So i do assume that you do not have the latest firmware V30 and above which has the Auto rotate feature.
    You can check your firmware by pressing *#0000# when on standby.
    Mark me a KUDOS if this has helped...

  • 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.

  • Our HP laserjet , model P2050 , does not print on both sides even though the " auto rotate " box is

    checked.  Is there someway to cause the printer to print on both sides?  ( There is another printer box that  comes up in other  instances and it has a "Preferance" box which , when clicked on, gives a different way to choose  two-sided printing, and that one works to cause the printer to do as wanted.)
    The  box that shows " auto rotate' doesn't have a print preview.

  • 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.

  • Auto-rotate is not working in my Nokia X6. Please ...

    Hi. So I recently bought a Nokia X6, and everything seemed to work fine. However, just today the auto-rotate stopped working on my phone. I turned the sensors off and then turned them on again and it stopped working. What could be the reason?
    Also, now when I turn my phone on, it just turns off again, and I need to turn it on again.
    P.S: I don't know if this has an effect, but I was installing an app on my phone, when the battery went empty, and the phone turned off in the middle of the installation...
    EDIT: Also, my phone gave me a "System error" message twice...

    It's ok, I did a hard reset and everything is working fine now. I guess the problem was with the app that I installed. By the way, that app wasn't compatible with the phone, as the phone gave me a message that it isn't, and yet I insisted on installing it. So perhaps here lies the problem.

  • [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!
    Go to Solution.

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

  • 8.1 | 11s | Auto-rotate only works for landscape & button does nothing

    The way auto-rotate is sort of doing it's own thing right now. The way it works is if  the screen is upside down (winbutton up) -> tablet mode, rightside up -> laptop mode. Those are the only two switches that it makes, and it doesn't rotate to a portrait mode, which I would really like.
    The auto-rotate button doesn't seem to do anything anymore. The dialog will appear on-screen but it rotates the same wether it's on or off. 
    I can make the switch with ctrl+alt+<,> but that doesn't disable the keyboard, and it flips back to landscape when I move it. 
    Is there some list of upgrade issues?
    Other issues I have/had are: cpu throtling in tablet mode, dolby stopped working though audio works fine with new driver. Also the upgrade messed up my DNS settings. Updating the wifi driver & forgetting the network driver didn't solve it. I had to go to the conection's settings and set the DNS manually on IPV4 and disable IPV6.

    Check for newer drivers and install if any, then post if you still have the issue.

  • N95 & Auto-Rotate Function in V21.0.016

    Wife & I both have new N95's RM-159 from 3.
    Firmware Version is V21.0.016 as mentioned in subject line.
    What neither phone seems to have is the auto-rotate function. After hours of searcing I've been unbale to find out why with this version of the firmware this isn't supported on these phones. Under Display settings no mention of auto-rotate. I've checked software updater & am told the FW is the latest revision.
    Do I need to install the accelerometer plugin to get this function to work as you have to do with rotateMe(c)Samir?
    Any help would be appreciated before I ring 3 customer services and ask them why it isn't supported.
    TIA.

    Your phones are normal.
    The N95 doesn't have that function as part of it's firmware. Only the N95 8GB has had this feature added in the v20 firmware.
    The firmware on the N95 is not the same as the firmware on the N95 8GB.
    It is rumoured that the feature will be in the next firmware release for the N95 which is due in the next few months.
    So the only way to get auto rotate on the old N95 is to install a program like rotateme.

  • Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?

    Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?
    I have experienced this on iPad 1 as well as iPad 2.
    Basically, when you set the side switch to toggle screen orientation (or mute), after a period of use I will have either my sound cease to function or the ipad screen will not orient correctly.  This depends on what i have chosen the side switch to toggle.  I am not sure what causes it.  The time it takes for the problem to appear is inconsistent. Some say it is caused by third party applications.
    One can find numerous threads on here if you search for "sound on my ipad stopped working" or "orientation not working".  It appears to be the same problem. Fudging with the toggle switch settings can fix it (but it takes a weird order to get it out of its non functioning loop). 
    Here is a thread that addresses the sound issue:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/15263298#15263298

    Its only for notifications.. it is not for sound from videos or music!

    After ios 7 update on ipad mini, auto rotation stop working. Anyone facing this issue too?

    for ipad,
    if you go to settings-General
    You can select between using the side switch to lock rotation or mute.  If you select one mute, then the lock rotation icon will show up in the control center.  If you select lock rotation, then the mute will show up.  THe side switch is then used for the other option.
