Auto Rotate does not work.

[TCSoft]

i had the same issue after the warranty expired
i took it apart and had some little pushes on the bus connectors
it works again
you can google how to take the Nexus 7 apart
if your warranty expired

Yeah, my tablet has the same issue, but it seems to work intermittently. I installed this app and now I just manually control rotation

Nexus 9 Tablet Auto Rotation Fix

Try the following link: it works!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbGi0yohfMA

Details:

Check first that "Auto-rotate" is turned "on", and does NOT work. Then:

1. Go the apps screen
2. Open up: Google
3. Got settings: top left three bars, the "settings"
4. Select Now Cards
5. Under Show Cards: De-select (turn off "Show Cards")
6. Turn off Nexus 7, and Restart.
7. Make sure "Auto-rotate" is turned on.
8. Auto-rotation will work again! (on most Nexus 7 tablets?, if it still does not work, "uninstall" Google Now all

together, and reboot. If you re-install Google Now later, and set it up, and reboot,"Auto-rotate will still work)
9. No need to tinker with the hardware, and open the tablet!
10. Spread the word.


Technical details:

When Autorotate does not work:
All my tablets are running Android version 6.0.1.
Kernel build: 3.4.0-g09a22c6
android-build@wpdv14.hot.corp.google.com #1
Wed Apr 20 00:06:25 UTC 2016
Build Number: MOB30M

1. Download and install: Check My Android.
2. Open the App
3. Select: "Sensor"
4, You will see that the following sensors are disabled, or do not work:
1. MPL Accelerometer
5. MPL Gyroscope
7. MPL Gyroscope
5. Turn off the "Now" cards in Google, as above
6. "Auto-rotate will work again.
7. Sensors 1, 5, and 7. will work again.
8. Interesting note:
If you turn on the "Now" cards again, in Google. Power down the tablet and resart. The "Auto-rotate" keeps on

working (ONLY ON SOME NEXUS 7 TABLETS (I have 5 of them, some work, some not)), and all sensors show OK? For now at

least!!! No idea why??
To play it safe, just turn of the "Now" cards, (or uninstall Google Now), and reboot!!

Wow, this worked for me! I'd given up and just assumed this was a hardware issue. Hope the fix holds and doesn't require doing this frequently.

Edit Oct 2nd - Welp, auto-rotate always fails again shortly after re-enabling Google Now. Tried uninstalling the Google app updates (contrary to the quoted post you can't fully uninstall the app) and auto-rotate worked, but I chose to reinstall it. Rather have GN than auto-rotate.

Auto Rotate Screen function does not work.

Hello everyone facing the same problem with an Accelerometer. Although I've got pretty old tablet Prestigio PER5574BC (eBook Reader) I didn't have any problems with it until now. I've tried resetting tablet, wiping cache, rebooting many times and surely tried to turning Auto Rotate Screen function on and off. Unfortunately, nothing helped. Can anyone tell me what shall I do in such case?
I really need quick solution cause I need my tablet a lot.

I've been using Rotation Control to manually change the orientation as needed. Not optimal but it gets the job done when needed.
