[Q] ATT auto update recently?

[tnerb123]

Did ATT release some sort of stealth patch over the weelend? As of Sunday morning my home button now links to Desktop Home instead of the standard Android home. My phone also gets stuck in landscape mode.

I am running stock froyo with root and clockwork only installed!

The funny part about this is I can restore to a previous saved backup and have it start in non landscape. But once I reboot, say goodbye to portrait mode. You get stuck in landscape.

Anyone else had this issue and fixed it?

Highly doubt it, not their speed.

Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.

No att did not send some update to you.chances are it is a messed up accelerometer for the rotation problem and possible a setting change or random bug that has affected the homer button

Well the funny thing is I do a factory reset and things are fun. No problems and every thing works perfect. Once i reboot after re-setting things up, it forces landscape mode and changes the home button. The accelerometer isn't broken. The reason I say this is because i can switch between between landscape and portrait just fine until I reboot the phone for the first time. If it was broken, it would not be able to do this.

One thing I am going to do is try and go back to factory in an area there is no service and see what happens. If it still does it, then I may be infected with something. But would be interesting since I haven't installed anything in weeks!

If ATT is sending stealth updates, then who knows what the heck they are doing with our phones!

There are no stealth updates. Recalibrate your accelerometer and it will work fine again. I never had the problem on my Captivate, but once I upgraded my brothers to KB1, his had the accelerometer issue. Horizontal calibration in Settings>Display fixed it.

I think I had the same problem.. Everything became landscape...
I just rebooted and it was fine..

Well recalibrating did not work. Still stuck in landscape mode. Rebooting does nothing. Still trying to find a place to test the theory that I was on first connect with ATT.

One other thing. If I clear the delvik cache, it rests the portrait mode and switches correctly from there until I reboot the phone. Then it switches back to landscape only. This is driving me nutts. I can not get this crap to top happening.

So does anyone have any ideas on what to do with this? If I factory reset and clear delvik, I get the screen to work fine till I reboot. Once I reboot the phone, it gets stuck in landscape mode. I have tried everything on this and still can not get this to work. I am just about ready to ODIN it and see if that resolves the issue.

I have re calibrated about 50 billion times and it does nothing! Its not the exceleromitor since I can factory reset and it works till I reboot.

How about replace? That's where you are at.
