Xperia M2 - Auto rotate isn't working

Hello forum members,

I got my Xperia M2 back a few hours ago after having it repaired. However I've noticed that the Auto-rotate refuses to work even with me looking in settings, display, Auto-rotate.

I've had no luck on getting it to work. Whether it's activated or not, it doesn't seem to respond to it.

As a last resort I've ended up here. If someone could provide a solution it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Reece.

Pls listen to me: there is another thread here in m2/aqua  forum.  It's called ''accelelometer bug'' .

If u go and read there. that is your problem. so:  local xperia care will not help, nor will repairing with pcc.

It's something only Sony can come up with in a new update.

U are all invited to read and reply on that thread.

Hi everybody,

My walkaround was to rollback the sortware version to the latest 4.4.2 (18.3.C.0.40).

Seems the bug doesn't show up.

Waiting for the android update to fix this s..t.

Cheers,

Could the problem source be the magnetic part of my cover flip?

It is upsetting when problems appear where they not supposed to be at all. Third party apps? 4 minutes call. What the … is going on. Let’s concentrate on the problem. The screen not rotate. WHY? I do not need to know ridiculous workarounds. It supposed to be new phone. If I wanted Lego Game I will by Lego game. So I will ask strait. Will M2 problem with rotation be solved? Or I will have to reboot he phone every time? What kind of a phone is when you afraid to speak longer or download an application (who cares which party). BTW 2 times repaired in 3 months since new. Now this. Is it really Sony getting weak on the phones? I use to have Sony phones a few times and they were good. Or I just both the crapy one (Saturday night shift job)?

The problem was fixed in an update a couple of months back, but it has returned with build 18.3.1.C.1.17. Now, the problem is worse. Auto rotation stops working within seconds of switching on.

Same problem here. Auto rotate is done. I dont't know if its gonna be like this till the lolipop release or should we roll back to the previous update, and if so how can we do it? any ideas?
