Unwanted screen rotation with 3.0

Ever since installing 3.0 I've had the following problem with both mail and safari: the screen rotates into landscape view too easily (i.e. when I slightly move the phone), and then it's practically impossible to get the screen to rotate back. Anyone else having this issue?

I have the same problems and I took mine to the Apple store to see if they can fix. They said my phone came in contact with water somewhere but my phone has never been exposed to any extreme case of water. They said it wasn't submerged but the botom was exposed,, thus voiding my warranty and I either can a) ride it out until it completly craps out on me or b) buy new phone. Is this my option?

Unwanted Stage Rotation with Adobe CameraUI example on iPad2 - HELP PLEASE!

Hi all!
I'm working on a puzzle game for the iPad 2. I'm using the Adoble example that is layout here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/CameraUI.ht ml
Everything is working fine execpt for when the navive camera app shuts down, either by "use" for a photo or "cancel" the stage of my app is rotating 90deg counter-clowise WITHOUT firing a StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE event. If I turn the ipad after this strange happening the StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE does fire and everything is adjusted normaolly per my "adjustLayout" function that is nomally called when a StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE event fires.
Can someone verify this is the case? I'm currious to find out if this is an adobe or apple bug, and more importantly is there a work around for this?
THANKS!

I have some more info...
The when the ipad camera app launches it will not adjust for orientation.
The behavior I described does not happen if the ipad2 is held in portatriat mode with the home button on the bottom.
Also I'm currently running air 2.6 and ios 4.3.3. I'm going to try air 2.7 and ios5 beta soon and see if it makes a difference.
Can someone else verify this and any possible fixes?
Thanks!

Screen rotation - how to disable at all

Hello,
for my desktop system with Windows 8.1 Prof,
I want to disable the screen rotation with keyboard
and if possible also by desktop context menu.
In
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AutoRotation
I changed the Enable item value to 0,
but rotate it is still going with keyboard.
This make troubles with computer games.
Thank you for advice
Erhy

Hi,
As a alternative way, please check wehther you have some video\graphic related software installed in your system, they're always used to control these graphic settings or some hotkey settings, but all depends on the PC model or the graphic card mdoel.

Screen rotation kills mouse on Thinkpad X220 tablet

Screen rotation with xrandr causes the screen to black.
Switching to the tty and back using Alt-Fx, gets the rendering back, but now the mouse click on the touchpad, stylus don't work anymore. I know xorg-server was updated recently, but I'm not entirely sure if this is related.
I got rid of my old xorg.conf.d files, and the problem persists. It's also does not seem to be related to xsetwacom.
I'd be very happy if someone knows of a way to fix this.
(Sorry for the half-baked description.)

You're triggering Chiral Scrolling. You can disable it in the UltraNav control panel.

Moving desktop icons with Yoga screen rotation and Windows 8

I have a Yoga 11s. I have a bunch of desktop icon shortcuts and folders on my desktop as I rarely use the Windows 8 "tiles." Unfortunately, when using the Yoga as a tablet, whenever the screen rotates, all my desktop shortcuts and folders move around. Is there any way to get them to stay in place in Windows 8? I realize that when one rotates the tablet around that the icons have to move around to accommodate the screen rotation, but when I rotate the screen back to the horizontal position, they don't return to the position they were in.
Thanks!

I did get a potential solution over on a Windows 8 forum. Unfortunately the solution doesn't stop the migration of the icons. It only restores them to their original position with a few mouse clicks. I have yet to find a solution that keeps the icons from moving in the first place.
I downloaded a program called Iconoid. When you first run the program, a little windows pops up. You click on the positions tab, then put the dot in the selection that says "use relative positions for all resolutions." You then hit the "save icon positions (relative)" button and now the program remembers where all of your icons are.
When you rotate the screen and all your icons get messed up, you open Iconoid (in systray for me), go to that same "positions" tab, then hit the "restore icon positions now." That moves all the icons back to where they were. You just have to make sure that if you change your icons on your desktop a lot, that you hit that "save icon positions (relative) button once in a while so the program gets updated icon positions.

Why when I return to a document after leaving with the screen rotated, is it saved upside down?

I am on an iPod Touch (4th gen?). I draw in Ideas and although the toolbar and screen don't rotate with the device, the preview and result DO save rotated. Why?

On an iPod Touch (and iPhone), the toolbar does not rotate because there is not enough screen real estate to show them rotated. However, the orientation is still saved. So, if you rotate your device to landscape, then the idea file is saved as rotated.
In general, on both iPod/iPhone and iPad, the idea file is always saved using the orientation you are last in. This provides you with a way to rotate your content, although there are arguably better ways to accomplish doing such a rotation that we have not implemented.
Hope that helps,

Thinkpad Twist with Windows 7 - screen rotation

So a client of mine bought the Twist with Windows 8 on it and really did not like windows 8 and asked me to repalce the install with Windows 7, wiping out the drives .... I managed to get all but 2 devices identified and install, one has an ID of PNP0C40 which is related to a button and the other one PNP0C60 is related to a convertable laptop display sensor.
The PNP0C60 is likely related to my problem, no screen rotation.
Is there a driver for this sensor that might work with Windows 7?
If the answer is, we do not support windows 7, could someone reccomend a forum where folks are trying to downgrade the Twist to 7? my searches come up with mostly amazon reviews.
Thanks, if anyone needs help with any of the other drivers for Win 7 on the Twist ... I'd love to help
Ken

I was in the same scenario, my company bought a Twist for testing but we want Windows 7 because we can't train everyone on using Windows 8.
I finally found a project on SourceForge that seems to be working great.
http://yeokhengmeng.com/2013/01/auto-rotate-screen
I had to install the ThinkVantage Active Protection System before the program would function.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS014892
It's a simple install, you calibrate the different rotations of the laptop, read the README it will tell you how to get going, it takes 5 minutes.
I added it as a startup item for all users but I had to follow these instructions to get rid of a security prompt.

I've been testing it and it's almost better than using the built-in button because it's automatic.

My screen won't rotate with the phone

I'd like to know why my screen does not rotate with my phone. And how do I fix that.

iOS: Screen does not rotate

Screen rotation not available (with rotation of tablet Hp Henvy x2)

Hello, When I turn my screen 90 °, the monitor will not switch. it remains always in landscape mode instead of going in portrait. In Settings> System> Display the "lock the screen rotation" is disabled. Thanks

Well, after searching every where, somewhere (not sure where now) I saw the suggestion to turn off bluetooth and NFC. I turned off both and it *seems* like the issue may be corrected. But what if I want touse a BT device, I guess I am stuck?
As to your questions, I my have changed to a larger mouse cursor, either that or the default cursor.
I think I may have had "mouse trails" clicked, not sure if that it the same as a mouse shadow? Neither ofthese options seem to make a difference.
I had a standard Windows provided background for use, no personal photos.
Hopefully this partial fix (turning off the other settings) helps someone else. It seems to have fixed the problem for me, at least in the last 3-4 days since switching I have not noted a return of the problem.

I wish I were writing with a fix. I, too, have a new X2 -- I like it very much. I have not seen what you describe.
Instead, I have more questions; I am intrigued. I wonder if the way in which you have the system set is having an affect on the way it is behaving.
Do you see the problem regardless of which mouse pointer you set?
There are a variety of choices -- I use an extra large white arrow most of the time; sometimes I switch to a black cursor just for grins. You can change the selectors, too. Right-Click on the Background Screen and click Personalize ...
Are you using the entirely useless, but oh-so-pretty "mouse shadow"?
I am wondering if changing the pointer has had any effect on the disappearing act.
What about the background? Are you using a personal photo? Lots of colors? Does changing the background make any difference?

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.

A small symbol has come up on my i phone 4 left hand side of the battery. looks like a small padlock with an arrow going round it. i cannot seem to get rid of it? it was not there originally. i understand its the lock that stops the screen rotating.

A small symbol has come up to the left of the battery symbol. i have found out that this is the screen rotation lock. not sure hoe this has been turned on and i cant seem to turn it off. I read that there is a button above the volume control on the i pad which turns it off, but this does not work on the i phone4?

Try this:
-double click the Home button: this will make the System Tray appear at the bottom of the screen.
-if you do not see the screen orientation lock button then flick to the right: once you see the screen orientation lock button, just tap it. That will change it back.
I hope this helps!

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?

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.

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).

Dual-monitor setup + screen rotation

Hello, I want to use my desktop computer with a dual-monitor setup. I have connected both monitors successfully, but problems arise after this point.
The first problem is that they both just display the same screen and that xrandr only detects one screen called "Screen 0". I can change the screen resolution with it, so at least it sees things correctly, but I don't know how to extend my screen area to a new desktop. Not sure if this is relevant, but they're both monitors of the same model.
output of xrandr wrote:[user@archbang ~]$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 1600 x 1200

800x600 0.0

The second problem is that I can't rotate my screen (I want this because it has pivot functionality). I'm using the xf86-video-ati driver.
