I just got a new lumia 800, all the maps software on the phone do not rotate as I rotate the phone, even having the "rotate with my current direction" selected in the maps settings.
On Denim, all of a sudden my screen rotation quit working several days ago. Rebooting the phone fixed it a few times but now its completely out. Yes rotation lock is off and toggling it doesn't make a difference.
I signed up for Windows Insider on my Lumia 1020 and the next day I was prompted to perform a system maintenance update. I went ahead and approved it and it ended up being the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade. The upgrade went smoothly. For some reason Windows Maps will not launch. This is also affecting the HERE app.
With the most recent Lumia Camera update, screen rotation takes approx. 4-5 incredibly long seconds. I have deleted the app and reverted back to the Lumia Camera Classic version, which is still available for download.
my screen has stopped rotating when I put the device into a landscape axis. I have seen many post about people who want to disable this feature but I like it and now my device has stopped doing it.
My xperia z2 phone does not rotate the screen when held in upside down position. In other words, it does not rotate the screen 180 degrees from a normal up position. 90 degrees either side rotation is okay. This happens in the safe mode as well. Is that a bug or a feature? Is there a remedy?
And NO, it is not locked. Photos, books, webpages and email will rotate 90 degrees in either direction - meaning they'll go from portrait to landscape, but will not go all the way around 180 degrees. Homescreen will not rotate and none of the apps will rotate. I've tried turning it off and on several times, deleted all recently installed apps, reset all settings. I bought this phone 2 weeks ago...
So my accelerometer/gyroscope stopped working since I dropped my phone. I tried to calibrate it but without luck. I think it might be broken, can it be replaced?
Here's a video of testing the sensors - [URL] .....
Since the Lolliopop update, change the orientation from horizontal to vertical (or vice versa) often results in the no screen rotation i find I have rotate the device at least 180 degrees before it detects anything
I have noticed that my screen rotation no longer works on my Atrix. The phone still detects the correct orientation (AndroSensor app's 'Orientation' degrees change correctly as I rotate the phone). Games that rely on the accelerometer still function normally. The operating system just seems to do nothing when I rotate. Browser doesn't go to landscape, and other apps that normally can switch to landscape, just don't. The setting to Auto-rotate is checked.I have pulled the battery, I have rebooted, I have tried changing settings, rebooting, changing them again, but I can't get it to work as it did a few days ago. Searching this sort of problem online seems to come up with similar issues with other people across a myriad of different Android devices, yet no one really has any solution on how to fix besides doing a 'factory reset'. A factory reset doesn't seem to be a good fix for this to me.
The closest reasonable explanation I can come up with is that with the added Motorola software, there might possibly be another 'rotation' setting behind the scenes that we can't access that got out of sync with the normal Android rotation settings (read on how this might be an explanation for the problem on Samsung phones), but who knows what is really going on. Very annoying though, since the phone sensors appear to be working properly. I can't even write a simple text message in landscape mode because of this, making it frustratingly difficult with the small on-screen keys on the regular mode.
I updated the Baseband Version to NF6. now the screen rotation dosen't work anywhere. Tried rebooting and removing battery. Screen Rotation is turned on.
When viewing photos, videos, websites, etc. my phone used to smoothly rotate the screen from portrait to landscape view (and vice versa) as a single "window". So as I'd tilt the phone and whatever I was viewing would remain on the screen and rotate with the phone. All smartphones have this effect so I hope I'm explaining it clearly. Now it doesn't have that rotating effect any more. I can still view things in portrait and landscape, but instead of rotating with the phone as I tilt it, whatever I'm looking at on the screen disappears from one view and reappears in the other. Although the functionality is still there, the look and feel and overall experience is diminished.
I've checked the settings and screen rotation is turned off. I've turned it on and off while rotating the screen and the problem remains. I've powered down my phone and removed the battery a bunch of times and nothing's changed. I even reset the phone in safe mode and that didn't work either. Is there another setting that turns this effect on and off? This problem just appeared out of the blue the other day.
I am not sure if Moto is aware of the bug introduced in .173. Ever since the OTA a few months back the orientation/rotation sensor randomly stops working. I haven't been able to track it down to any particular app, but instead have a feeling that it's caused by any app that forces a horizontal orientation. I don't want to limit it to just that though, but basically after this bug is triggered, tilting the phone manually into horizontal orientation doesn't rotate the screen and any games/apps that use the tilt sensor stop responding to it completely. I launched Elixir tools while this issue was occurring and in the Sensor section of the app the two sensors that deal with orientation, the orientation and the rotation vector sensors are jumping all over the place. A reboot fixes this for a few days or possibly until i launch an app that triggers this bug and then it's the same thing all over again.
I looked through the faqs and it said to go to update and add map while in the app. I can't find anything in the app that will let me update -__- Do I have to be connected to the pc? I can't run Zune because I don't have SP3. I would like to just use my wifi connection for this.
I can start to download them, then the process stops without any pop ups, so I start it again and it tells me it cannot reach maps at the moment. I've checked on wifi and 3G nothing seems to change.I was able to get the maps before I reseted my phone onto my xbox account.
I bought the phone 3 weeks ago and was shocked to find out it only worked online ... not at all the way it was advertised (imho).Nokia Maps ''always free of charge'' was the one big reason I decided for a Nokia loyalty rather then going to Samsung or Apple.
1. Is / will Nokia Maps be available soon for Lumia 800 in offline mode, like the good old Nokia I had for 4 years?
2. Is there a good alternative (is Drive really an alternative and is truly offline)?
3. If none of the above - which Nokia smartphone does work offline with Nokia Maps? I still have a week's time to bring it back to the store!
I am trying to sync. favorites I create on maps.nokia.com with Nokia Maps 2.5.29.357 on my Lumia 900 (WP 7.5), but they will not transfer from the web interface to the phone. Favorites I create on the phone transfer just fine to my account on maps.nokia.com. Is there a way to "push" favorites to the phone from the web interface?
Since two days I own a Lumia 820 and provided a microSD card for my device. Now I'm searching for the settings to use ther microSD card space for downloading maps.
How can I configure my Lumia 820 to use the microSD for downloading maps?
Managed to get all my old 120 favorites on N8 syncd to Nokia maps from [URL] Now, how do I search within the favorites? It just lists them in alphabetical order and no option to sort or search. If I display the favs on maps it is very slow and names do not appear?
I purchased a Nokia 610 today and am trying to download the UK maps in Nokia Drive. Have setup WiFi. Select the UK (All) map to download.At random points throughout the download process the app crashes and returns me back to the start screen.
I have removed and reinstalled the app with no change.
i am having a problem with my lumia 800. whenever i try to download maps in nokia drive, after the download starts and reaches around 20-25% , suddenly the home screen appears and i have to redownload the map. the problem is arising every time. I have lots of free memory so memory isnt an issue, my software is also up-to date.
I just got a WP7, and it's got an app called maps, and it can tell me where I'm at. I don't have a gps plan with ATT.does anybody know if it uses the phone's gps to find my location or does it locate my phone by some other means?
I am using Nokia Drive and Maps on Lumia 710. Say I want to go to a school in a particular area. I need to search for the name of that school and only then set my location. If I try to zoom in to that area on the map, I do not see the school or other places of interest/businesses in that area. This is irritating as in google maps, if I zoom into a location, I get all the businesses/areas on interest in that area. Am I missing something?. If not, then nokia maps needs to have this feature as it is very useful.
