IPhone :: Orientation Stuck Wont Rotate, Reset Accelerometer?
Mar 19, 2012
I dropped my iPhone (from about 4 ft on to carpet, no big deal) but now the orientation is stuck and it won't rotate into any other views. It acts as if it is constantly being held upside down so that the home button is at the top. It won't switch into landscape or into normal portrait. I have to constantly flip my phone upside down anytime I'm using an app that rotates like FaceTime. It's like the accelerometer can't register the correct direction I'm holding the phone. Same problem when I play games that use phone tilt, the phone is constantly titled to one side an stuck there. I need to reset the accelerometer or recalibrate it at least. I tried resetting all settings, closing all apps, turning the phone off, turning on and off the rotation lock, nothing fixes it?!?!?!

Suddenly the image on my iphone 5S is stuck in one orientation. There is probably a setting to lock and unlock this but I don't know where to find it. Searched through settings to no avail so far.

My iPhone a few years ago was capable of this and it made navigating any direction that was not north much easier.

Everyone is ranting about the auto rotate but I have never got it working on my phone. I read somewhere that it only works with the image gallery but on my E72-1 this is not so. It would be nice is someone pointed me in the right direction.

I have a storm2 that was replaced a few times and the current one is the those newer issued ones with the improved touch screen. I've had it for about 2 months and my accelerometer doesn't work anymore it seems like it blew out. My phone won't rotate and if it does it stays locked and I have to open an app that only works in portrait mode. Does anyone else have this issue? What do I do?

Sometimes it will get stuck in landscape. I'll have to go from portrait back to landscape to get it to rotate back to portrait
To narrow it down if I lock the phone in landscape the unlock it via fingerprint sensor it happens

Like others, I tried the software update, and then my phone constantly got stuck at the four little circles at start up. I followed some instructions I found on AndroidPit:
1. From a powered off state, press the Power button to start your Nexus 5. When you see the Google logo press and hold the Volume Down key and release when the device vibrates.
2. Use the volume keys to highlight Recovery Menu and press the Power button to select. This will bring you to a screen with an Android on its back.
3. Hold the Volume Up key for 5 secs then release and a new menu will appear.
4. First off, you can use the volume keys to select Wipe Cache Partition. This will cause your phone to restart. once this is done, re-do the previous steps to get back to the same screen (the one that Wipe Cache Partition was on).
5. Highlight Wipe Data/Factory Reset and select using the Power key. Scroll down to Yes, Delete All Data and press the Power button again to select.
6. Your Nexus 5 will now wipe your data and reformat.
7. On the next screen hit the Power button to select Reboot System Now.
It has been 40 minutes now and it's stuck on 'Formatting /data'. Is this normal?
I've only had this phone for a couple of months and it was functioning perfectly until now I haven't rooted it or anything.

I reset my iphone 3gs, erasing all data and contents. The process seemed to go as planned, but now I'm stuck with my phone showing just the apple logo,, nothing else.
The phone is not recognized by any of my machines, I've tried everything.
None of the buttons on the phone seem to do anything - I can't switch it off with the top right power button, not by pressing or holding it, it doesn't react to any other button or combination of buttons. It only switchs off by pressing the power + home combination.
I tried with the phone disconnected from everything, tried connecting to the pc, to power supply, no change.
Also tried the tips to hold buttons and than connect the usb, I think I pretty much covered any combination and solution I could find or think of, now I'm more or less out of options.

iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.1, jailbroken

I tried to restore my 3Gs. It was jailbroken on 3.1.3. The restore failed. I tried using tiny umbrella and RecBoot and it still said i could only restore and upgrade, so i decided after trying that a bunch of times to just do the manual reset from within the settings on the phone. It was on the apple logo with the spinnging thing for like an hour, and now its just stuck on the apple logo. I put it into DFU and tried exiting DFU (like i did earlier) using recboot but now it just wont leave the apple logo.

I know this is everywhere, but my case is different. I had problems with my lockscreen which never turned off. I went to another forum and asked for tips, they said to Reset All settings (not erase all content). I did that, and guess what, it is stuck in the apple logo and sometimes with the spinning wheel. Now I CANNOT go into DFU mode because I do not have a backup of anything and if I restore im screwed and all my apps, contact, etc. will go away. I have access to the iPhone system folders (iFunbox, diskaid, etc.)

nothing happens when I rotate my phone sideways in safari, calculator, or the keyboard. I have checked and nothing is locked in landscape mode. Also apps that require shaking do not seem to work. Sounds like a dead accelerometer - taking it back to the apple store tomorrow but will I get a replacement? Will I have to wait 3 weeks or whatever? I just got this phone 2 days ago.

iPhone 3G with iOS 4.0.1 firmware
Jailbroken with RedSn0w
It had been working fine until this morning when the iPhone is now stuck in the loop of restarting and stuck in the Apple logo screen.I have tried to hold both the sleep and Home button to reset. But, it just goes back to the same loop.Since the iPhone does not reach the Passcode screen, it is not even recognized by iTunes. So, I cannot restore it, either.How should I proceed?

Anyone know of any tweaks or such that would allow a jailbroken iphone 4 to maintain an orientation lock in widescreen mode (for surfing safari while in bed..)

Suddenly my iPhone 3GS stopped allowing the change in orientation of the display when turning the phone 90 degrees. A symbol appeared at the top right, that looks like a warning that this feature is locked. Now, I cannot find out if and how to restore this feature.

I have a Verizon HTC One, not rooted. The only update I did was yesterday installed Humin app for Contact Management. Today (while it was 85% charged) it got frozen while reading a message on Whatspp. I pressed Power button for a few seconds and it switched off. But now as I start it by holding the power button, it vibrates after 10 secs, shows HTC, and then shuts off after 5 seconds. If I keep holding, keeps going through this loop.
I pressed volume down button and then power button, and get to HBOOT screen with three Android icons. I can use the volume buttons to go up and down on options, but if I choose Recovery, or Factory Reset or even Show Barcode, and then press power button, this screen also gets frozen!!

HTC One M7 stuck at Android recovery
Did a factory reset for no reason and my phone died while it was resetting. Ever since it's been stuck at the android recovery, Factory reset isn't working, gives me the error : Failed to mount data, pretty much tried everything, with no luck, uploaded a video of me trying so you can see what's happening, I'm almost giving up on it.
Tried wiping cache, connecting to pc shows me a blank usb drive that's inaccessible, can't find phone on htc sync, tried to adb shell: No devices found.
The phone had no problems prior to the needless reset, the phone wasn't rooted.

Suddenly my mail window shows only in landscape orientation, and if I try to type a new message the keyboard comes up portrait on the lefthand side. I don't recall doing anything to cause this. It is an iPhone 5s, IOS 8.1.2
