Everyone is going to think that i mean no home screen rotate, but i mean no screen rotation at all. The only time the screen rotates is when watching the YouTube app. And then it wont rotate back until i go back to my home screen. I have it set to auto rotate in the pull down shade. I have checked the sensor with an app and its working. I have tried a soft restart and that didn't work. Anyone else seen something like this?

Have you dropped your Nexus recently?

Not since the update. Everything worked fine before the update, now it doesnt. It recognizes landscape mode when i go full screen in the you tube app.

Did you check the auto rotate settings from the tiles? Make sure it's on and reboot.

I did a factory data reset which didn't help. I was messing around and enabled system ui tuner and found this....

What does it mean? It looks like auto rotate means rotation lock. Bug? Am I reading it wrong?

So, in case anyone is wondering. I sent in my phone and they sent me a new one. I didn't get a reason it didn't rotate. The only thing is Motorola didnt have blue nexus 6's left in 64 gig. So i got a white one. Im thinking i must have dropped the original one just before i got the update to 6.0 and it never stood out to me that it didnt rotate. The new one works great though, after all the updates.
