Denim Installed - Slow Rotation

[wizake]

really weird. I havent noticed the issue to return on my phone.

Double damn. I just checked and the fault is back. I swear this trick worked this morning. Very odd.

Can anyone confirm that a factory reset sorts this issue out for good?

this has worked for me. am sure it worked for you earlier

 

[AndyCalling]

Well, I've now factory reset the phone. The issue has gone, if it comes back yet again I shall report here.

The factory reset and restore from recent back up method has been fine for me over the last 3 days

 

[AndyCalling]

Yep, looking good. If I can convince Hey Cortana to stay on I'll be pretty bug free.

It'll be appreciated if you pop back after a little while and let us know if it's still fixed.
I'm trying to hold off the reset root.

I have this issue too after updating last night. UK EE. Don't really want to hard reset, as I have done too many of them with my old 920 that would always screw up with spinning gears etc. The update went great last night for once. Hoping for another fix

Rotation still working fine. I'll let you know if it changes.

I've gone with the full annoying factory reset and all seems good so far.
Cheers

But you're having problems with the ois?
I take it you was experiencing this before denim then?

 

[lethalfriend]

OIS issue is different than the rotation. Rotation was working fine before and even now. Maybe it'll come to me as well but for now things are ok.

 

[Rick_Air]

Yes I know they're different, I was just asking if it had happened since Denim or not.

Easy check for rotation problem, launch the app rotate from portrait to landscape a number of times. If you've got it you'll notice it get slower at rotating.

Just tried as suggested, all is working fine for me

 

[Rick_Air]

Probably alright then. To be fair I've not come across many with the problem so have no idea what's causing it for those like me.

Having same issue here. Got me a gold edition and rotation is show as ****. I uninstalled the lumia camera rebooted and rotation is fine. Installed lumia camera and rotation is slow again. Very annoying. I even updated to latest PFD and didn't help.

Just installed Lumia Denim on my 930 last night. Australian Country Variant. Latest Preview For Developers OS version.
I've found this slow auto rotate is not limited to the new Lumia Camera, also happens with Coach's Eye when it uses the camera features. Yet, the old Lumia Camera Classic does not affect (cause) the slow auto rotate.

Those who have done a factory reset, or what not, can you test after all your normal/typical apps are installed ... and especially try any apps that use the camera interface/API.

 

[Rick_Air]

As I'd said in a previous post I'd only found Lumia camera 5 to be the culprit but after using it it would effect anything where screen rotation was required.
It made playing games where rotating and twisting the screen is the control method impossible.

I'd tried uninstalling, which didn't help once the app was installed again. Switching off and on would fix it untill using the camera again.

A factory reset seems to have fixed the problem, been 3 days I've hammered the camera app and other apps and not had it happen since.

 

[Roy Khoh]

Thanks for trying other camera apps, Rick.

Yes, I tried many of my other camera apps also... Pro Shot Camera, Office Lens, ... can't remember them all now because I deleted them one by one to test if there were any conflicts of apps.

Only Lumia Camera 5 and Coach's Eye were the only apps I found to instigate the slow 4 second delayed auto-rotate; and yes, everything else is affected once the problem arises. Only a restart of the phone seems to restore normal rotate functionality again.

So, to think an update to Lumia Camera 5 to fix it may be hopeful, considering that at least one other app using the Denim OTA update also exhibits the same behaviour.

I don't really want to do a factory reset, you lose all pictures and videos (and saved games) that aren't backed up in "the cloud", right? Last time I did something like this, was upgrading from 925 to 930, and some of my purchased music weren't available anymore.

Still early days, hopefully there's some form of update of app/firmware that might resolve this.

 

[Rick_Air]

Yeah I didn't want to reset either. I copied my photos to pc first to copy straight back on and my apps all (so far) seem fine.
It was a lot smoother restoring from the same 930 though due to all the software being the same version etc as I too had a few problems when restoring from my 925 to my new 930.

I did loose my twitter app of choice due to it being discontinued and my hardly used snap chat client.
