Default Auto-rotate on home screen stopped working

Hi All,
Picked up a new SGT 10.1 today on the Staples deal. Well, actually two, the first suffered badly from the dust under screen issue and I returned it, cleaned out two stores in the process.

Trouble is, after the first time I engaged the orientation lock (literally the first time I locked the orientation), it no longer auto rotates when on the home screen. Worked fine for a couple hours prior to that. When I go to the camera app, it rotates (although lags sometimes, but can't tell the cause).

I've tried hard resetting multiple times with two different methods, made no difference. Searched around, found only one other person describing the problem and no solution.

Has anyone heard of this? Is there any app I can use to further test the sensor?

Thanks all!!

Try using a game that uses the sensors for movement. That should tell you pretty quickly if it's your sensors or some other software glitch.
