[Q] Portrait screen orientation - upside down

---

Hi

From some time (even before I have flashed custom rom) I have a problem with screen orientation. At some point some apps when using portrait mode are upside down. To use them I need to rotate n700 to landscape and then it's okay, but returning to portrait - upside down. Interesting is that some apps are not affected by that like Go Launcher - it is always the right way, some games as well. I tried to recalibrate sensors but have no luck.
Only way to cure this is a reboot.

Anyone knows the solution?

Thanks.

Su v 3.0

Hi,
I recently experienced this same problem on my VPAD after upgrading superuser to 3.0 as the notification asked me to. Also tried recalibrating g sensor with no luck.

Yes I also had it too before the upgrade to superuser 3.0, but now after I did the 3.0 upgrade it seems to be happening more often!!!

Does anyone have the older SU available?

It happened after rooting by SuperOneClick. To solve it I did:

1) remove root
2) reboot device
3) orientation is OK
4) make root
5) orientation is OK

Su v 3.0

Hi,
Sorry, double posted. Thanks for the replies. Will give it a try.

I gave it a try and whenever I re-root, the upside down problem comes back. Rooting using superoneclick 1.7. Also tried restarting VPAD between attempts and updating to superuser 3.0.4 via the market after rooting.

I have found out, that ONLY RESTART is enought. I think that the bad rotation is due to running superuser application., usualy this cases come if I use any "root" application.

Try using VTL.Launcher - apk available in Market, download & install, replace stock launcher or select as default to run.

Been using it for a while, and even with new su & binary updates, it does a very job 95% of the time in the proper orientation, depending on the Apps.

Easily uninstalled if not liked or decided it's not for you for whatever reason.

It is not about launcher - you can lock launcher on portrait or landscape position and it will not change orientation for itself.
But if you go to any menu - like applications for example - it's upside down.

I can say however that after flashing EUviewpad 1.6 rom by Amalgation - I don't have this problem any more. With previous ones - this was veeeeery annoying.
The symptom was like bad orientation of g-sensor. In normal use it was enough to switch off orientation dependency for apps - but game like Labirynth uses g-sensor to move ball on the table. And of course tilting tablet off you causes the ball to move ....... against gravity, up the hill

I am happy this is no longer in this ROM.

I also said to myself - yeah, one reboot and that's it. After screen has turned upside down just right after the reboot and this was for 10th time - I was really pissed off.

Ghrrrrrrrrrr, joy too soon .......

Just today, after actually normal activity - screen turned upside down, I was listen to the music on poweramp.

I have notices that the problem returned after installing terminal emulator. I of course don't know if this is related but screen started to switch upside-down after that. Will try to uninstall and reboot and will report.
