Auto-rotation doesn't work anymore

Flythe — Wed, 05 Apr 2017 19:15:26 GMT

Hi there,

the auto-rotate function of my Xperia X suddenly stopped working. All apps will be displayed in portrait mode, even when the device is being held horizontally, except for the camera app, which stays in landscape mode. Auto-rotate is enabled, I've cleared Xperia Home's cache and rebooted the device, but nothing has helped so far.

Hi @acadia,

Does the rotation kick back in if you restart the phone, and then fail later? Or is it always not working?

Always, but that doesn't matter anymore. It started working again after just lying around for a coupke of minutes. I really don't know what happened there.

@acadia,

That's really strange

If it happens again, please try it in safe mode and see if it's the same thing. It could be a third party app behaving weirdly.
