My Dell venue 8 pro's screen orientation used to automatically orientated itself depending on how I held it. Now though the screen won't adjust, how can I fix this?
Thanks

Bring up the charms menu from right, at the bottom right you can find screen brightness, open that and you can toggle screen orientation lock from there

I tried that however it won't work?, I tried to play istunt 2 which uses the accelerometer as well and it doesn't work either, is there any reason why this is happening?

Not sure why its not working, have you tried a restart? Also check for the latest chipset drivers and bios update from dell's support site.

I had the same problem right after I got my Pro8. I had to disable the sensors device in the Device Manager and re-enable. That got everything working again.

))) idk that's how i solved my problem:))
but if you restart your SP3 and and switch between that button it will change the option in the right slide menu to brightness or screen lock orientation...
