My phone is a LG Optimus G (a F180 converted to E975, stock Euro firmware), but from googling this issue it seems to be a problem that can strike any phone with no readily apparent solution...
I first noticed it while playing Star Wars KOTOR, where it'd get stuck; flipping the phone (to better orient the charging lead) started leaving the picture upside down. Initially, I could fix it by long-pressing the home button to get at my notification bar and toggling auto-rotate off and on, before it crapped out entirely (necessitating an orientation-locking app), which led me to think it was a software issue...
But after googling the problem and seeing how widespread it is, I'm thinking maybe these sensors are just prone to failing? I saw all sorts of possible solutions offered, which apparently work for some, but it seems nothing solves it for many, including factory resets and flashing firmware... I uninstalled KOTOR when I was done with it, but to no avail. I don't fancy figuring out how to flash the firmware again, but if that's what it takes...
Does anyone know anything about this issue? Am I stuck with a slightly crippled phone now?
