Auto-rotate is not working.... why?

Have you tried recalibrating it?

That's my only complaint to date with my Inspire. I go to text or web or whatever and when I rotate the phone it takes sometimes up to 5-6 seconds to rotate or wont rotate at all unless I shake a little. Kinda annoying. There has to be a fix for it though, recalibrations dont work.

I have the same issue - and have tried all the fixes mentioned, but no luck. My g-sensor works for a while, then locks up without any particular cause. Tried restarting, closing all apps that maybe using the G-sensor (like Teeter), removing the battery, even turning off/on auto-rotate option in the Settings->Display menu.

The only thing that works for my HTC is to fully reset the phone to the factory settings (Settings -> SD & phone storage -> Factory data reset), but then you loose the Google account, ALL app settings and home screen settings, all sorts of little bits of information you've entered like WiFi access point names, etc etc. All in all - this is a pain in the butt to do every few weeks and unacceptable from HTC. Once this is performed, the sensor works again just fine (with or w/o calibration), but then craps out in a few weeks.

One other thing: once this is a problem, if I start the Teeter game, it tells me that my device must have the G-sensor installed and that this game will not work w/o it, and then it quits. That implies to me that the SW occasionally looses track of what HW is installed or perhpas the sensor itself stops responding occasionally. But if this was the case, why would the SW reset fix this hw problem? I conclude that this is some sort of stale setting that sw ignores and eventually it makes the sensor non-responsive...

So HTC staff - any known fixes, or should I return the phone...? It's a great machine, but this issue, if not fixed will put it on my black list of never-buy-again devices.

Thank you,
Oliver.

Hey guys... just so you know... it seems that the new inspire update has fixed the auto-rotate bug for now already. I'll let yall know if it comes back for me... peace
