Screen auto-rotation problems after multi-window update

[zocipro]

I still have problem with a AUTO rotation as especially testing on the images..Did anyone find real solution or need to check hardware sensor or something ?

Had my Galaxy note about a month.

This problem occurs around every two days or less for me.

I've tried all fixes mentioned in this thread to no avail.

Like others have said, not absolutely terrible just very annoying, especially after spending ?370 on it unlocked.

Really love the phone and if this problem could be fixed I would say its almost a perfect device, for me anyway.

Very frustrating though as the phone can do so much yet constantly does this which is such a basic for phones of this calibre.

Fingers crossed for an update to fix this in the UK.

Go to Phone app -> Click the Keypad on top -> Rotate -> Fixed!

I have to do that once or twice a week ever since I updated to 4.1.2.

This worked for me. Thanks!

Screen auto-rotation problems with Android 4.1.2

Ok. I tried everything suggested here.
The only thing that fixes the issue as well as prevents it from happening is turning Auto-Brightness ON.
I know it sounds unrelated to the problem but it works!
Weird bug!

Note: You can still use 'Velis Auto Brightness' app to set your prefered brightness while the system auto-brightness is ON. Works perfect and auto-rotate keeps working!

Oh wow that works! I just turn on Auto and fixed it and turned off Auto again. This is so weird... but thanks! It is probably the fastest way to fix it.

can somebody explain detail for this step :

"Go to Phone app -> Click the Keypad on top -> Rotate -> Fixed!

I have to do that once or twice a week ever since I updated to 4.1.2.''

i dont understand where is 'phone app' > where is 'click the keypad on top' > where is 'rotate'

The phone app is the program you use when you use the phone.

When you are in the phone app, there 4 icons on top, one of them is called Keypad.

Once you are in the phone's dial pad screen, you could rotate the phone and it will unstuck the rotation.

BUT, before you try that, I suggest you try the easier fix just posted above. It is to check AUTO brightness. It is a much faster fix! Thanks Stefanos!

Already try to check Auto Brightness before but nothing change.
When i go to keypad on left side and i turn my phone to landscape position screen not rotate.

Are you sure your Auto Rotate is on? If it is, try rebooting your phone.

 

[luqmanhakim]

sure already check/tick for rotate screen... green colour

 

[luqmanhakim]

already rebooting

Just disable multiwindow and reboot device. This will help ..

Ever since the newest update I've had zero problems with screen rotation...even in multi window mode. Before the update I was restarting at least 5 times a day.

After rebooting, the auto-rotate will work, but after a few days it'll stop working, even with the toggle turned on. All sensors were fine. Sometimes apps will rotate into landscape mode and stay like that until I turn off auto-rotate. Smart rotation is turned on, but before the update, auto-rotate has always worked even with it on. So I'm inclined to think it's just a software problem.

Rebooting will solve the problem, but it'll come back after a few days. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

 

[Morrissey4200]

Yes i have a note 3 and the same problem bit mine stop and i have tu turn my phone off and on

 

[tritzim]

had this issue too.

after I used multi screen, my phone start crashing every time i used camera or video in landscape.

I tried the following;

1. rebooting
2. rotate phone app
3. checked/ unchecked smart rotation

finally it worked, not sure what fixed it.

Turned off "Multi-Window". Screen rotation problem disappeared.
