MickH 211 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Ayup! 😛 Long time no see. I have this issue where Auto-rotate will stop working and it's a struggle to get it working again. It works fine from the keyboard. Open it up and it goes to landscape, but sometimes when I close the keyboard it goes straight back to portrait even though I'm holding the phone in landscape. Any ideas? 🤔 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brunoais 333 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Is Auto-rotate ON? Does it happen with running an app that doesn't like to work in landcape? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MickH 211 Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Auto-rotate is indeed on. I'm not sure if it's an app that's causing it, it's only just started happening in the last week or two. When Auto-rotate is turned off the manual rotate icon doesn't always appear either. Just to add: I've just now opened the keypad and the screen remained in portrait. Edited November 24, 2020 by MickH 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt an app is causing it. It's an issue with Pro1 firmware. It can work well for weeks and then it does not anymore. Try Fx Service, see if it works for you. I have not had any autorotate issues since I started using it months ago. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickH 211 Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 I think I've found the culprit, actually. Firefox. I'll do a bit more poking around, try other apps and browsers and see what happens. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use Firefox on stock too, and do see the autorotation bug from time to time, but not correlated with FireFox usage. If I open any app that use the sensor (e.g. "AndroidSensor" or a camera app), the problem disappears for me) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
