I have an Xperia X Performance. Lately, the phone refuses to go in to landscape mode. If I reboot the phone, it will work for a while, but then the rotate eventually stop working. I have also noticed that the Camera app always goes into landscape, and won't go into portrait mode. The phone is set to auto-rotate. Help, please!
 
I'll give that a shot. It's a little annoying because sometimes it can be fine for a day before it starts doing it. Safe mode is pretty crippled for me.
 
Wow, safe mode toasted my phone. All my email accounts disappeared after safe mode. I have to re-add them all. The screen rotate did seem to work while in safe mode, but I couldn't leave it that way for long. as I need full functionality on my phone.

Any other way to check what might be going wrong with my phone's rotation?
 
If it worked in safe mode, but safe mode removed your email accounts, I'd guess (but it's just a guess, since I don't have the phone here) that you have some malware in the phone.

How would one go about checking that? Seems doubtful since I only install apps from Google Play and the phone is about six weeks old, but I guess anything's possible.

As an aside, I use BlackBerry Hub+ for my email, so I wonder if that has something to do with losing all my email accounts in safe mode.
