nexus 7 unable to rotate if device is warm / overheat

[gameson]

occasionally when you play game on any device, the device will get warm.

On my N7, for the last 3 months, if my device gets warm, then the auto rotate will no longer work. even if the setting is set to auto rotate, it will not auto rotate. the only way to fix it is to restart the device. Before then, my N7 works absolutely fine without any hiccup.

there is no solution to this other than not playing games on my device.

anyone experience this? How to fix it?

Thanks.

I've had 3 nexus 7 2013 and all have had this exact problem.. No help here, other than a reboot..

There have been reports that the ribbing contacts become loosened over time. There are YouTube's showing how to put some insulation tape inside which most certainly does improve things. I still get it sometimes but a lot less than I used to.
