Rotation stops working

Can you clarify what you mean by "pages"? You mention scopes, but they never rotate?

Can you please have a look into ~/.cache/upstart/unity8.log an see whether these messages are printed when you rotate the phone:

qtmir.sensor: Screen::customEvent - new orientation 1 handled
qtmir.surfaces: MirSurfaceItem::setOrientation - orientation= 1
qtmir.sensor: Screen::onOrientationReadingChanged
qtmir.sensor: Screen::customEvent - new orientation 2 handled
qtmir.surfaces: MirSurfaceItem::setOrientation - orientation= 2

For some reason rotation now stopped working at all.
By pages i mean that what is displayed on the screen.
My system settings were landscape, while the today scope would be portrait.
Also apps, in this case terminal, were landscape.
( i whised i had made screenshots... )

I checked with the app "SensorStatus" if y and z were stuck, but that
was not the case,
i got different readings when tilting the device.
X seems to be stuck at -19.4890... but that was the way it was from the
beginning.

I did restart the device, but to no avail.
Any suggestions on what process to check on the phone to see what the
cause of the problem is?
( dbus? )

Kind regards,
Ed

Hi,

No, there is never a line printed about orientation when i rotate the
phone.

Kind regards,

After a full night at the charger, rotation works again!
No idea if it is a power related bug.

I can't think of anything i have done to make it work again.
I did set an alarm, removed some unused apps and enabled gps.
Hope it keeps on working, i will check later when the battery is lower.

Kind regards,
Ed

Hi Michał,

I found a way to reproduce the bug, i hope that helps.
If you open the "SensorStatus" app all readings (x, y, z) are giving
changing values.
If you keep the phone in portrait mode and you hit a table with the
bottom of the phone ( gently ofc ),
the X reading is stuck at -19.48900.... and rotation is locked.
If you then hit the table again with the lower right corner, X will give
changing values and rotation is restored.

My guess is that a (gentle) bump will overload the sensor somehow and
keep it stuck.

Can you confirm that you can reproduce the bug?

Kind regards,
Ed
