I can't change my Wifi Xoom's orientation. The sensor appears to work when I test it in Elixir 2, and I have the autorotate slide switched on. I've rebooted and turned it on and off many times... I contacted Moto via online chat, but it was like 20 minutes before chat hours ended and the guy Juc stood me up! Like he asked what version of the Xoom I have and I said "I have the wifi version". Then he didn't respond for 30 minutes even after I asked repeatedly if he was still there. Anyone else have any advice? I can't find this problem ANYWHERE ELSE!!!! It's driving me BONKERS! I already tried toggling the autorotation switch and rebooting (volume button and screen lock) and turning it off and on. I also uninstalled my recently updated apps... I'll post a reply for future reference of others if I fix it with a factory restore.
Can't change orientation???????
- Thread starter Rblacula
- Start date
I think it might be worth a try. It's obviously a software problem, so there's got to be a software solution. Rooting and flashing a kernel or rom could do the trick, otherwise you could reinstall your stock images through ADB (as much trouble as rooting IMHO).
I'm just going to play it safe and mail it to them first. I just got finished chatting with them again and they said to mail it to them. I'll wait the 10 or so days if it fixes him... 
EDIT: Well, I figured since my support guy made me factory reset it, what harm would an external factory reset do? For some reason, it worked. I just don't understand it! At least I don't have to send him in! I would miss Xoomy too much!

I know; I tend to personify my objects such as Xoomy and Nexusy (my Nexus S)! My Xoom is MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!
