Details:

Check first that "Auto-rotate" is turned "on", and does NOT work. Then:

1. Go the apps screen

2. Open up: Google

3. Got settings: top left three bars, the "settings"

4. Select Now Cards

5. Under Show Cards: De-select (turn off "Show Cards")

6. Turn off Nexus 7, and Restart.

7. Make sure "Auto-rotate" is turned on.

8. Auto-rotation will work again! (on most Nexus 7 tablets?, if it still does not work, "uninstall" Google Now all

together, and reboot. If you re-install Google Now later, and set it up, and reboot,"Auto-rotate will still work)

9. No need to tinker with the hardware, and open the tablet!

10. Spread the word.

Technical details:

When Autorotate does not work:

All my tablets are running Android version 6.0.1.

Kernel build: 3.4.0-g09a22c6

android-build@wpdv14.hot.corp.google.com #1

Wed Apr 20 00:06:25 UTC 2016

Build Number: MOB30M

1. Download and install: Check My Android.

2. Open the App

3. Select: "Sensor"

4, You will see that the following sensors are disabled, or do not work:

1. MPL Accelerometer

5. MPL Gyroscope

7. MPL Gyroscope

5. Turn off the "Now" cards in Google, as above

6. "Auto-rotate will work again.

7. Sensors 1, 5, and 7. will work again.

8. Interesting note:

If you turn on the "Now" cards again, in Google. Power down the tablet and resart. The "Auto-rotate" keeps on

working (ONLY ON SOME NEXUS 7 TABLETS (I have 5 of them, some work, some not)), and all sensors show OK? For now at

least!!! No idea why??

To play it safe, just turn of the "Now" cards, (or uninstall Google Now), and reboot!!

I was able to resolve this by simply squeezing the screen and back plate together with my fingers.

Work for me thx alot

Wow .... Back press trick fixed autorotation AND not booting without charger plugged in. A bonus !!!! Thanks !!!!

amazing ! it worked for me as well by just pressing the back. thanks

I used the Check My Android app from the Play Store to verify that the accelerometer was NOT working. I then did the press down treatment (resulting in several cracking sounds) and voila the auto orientation worked again.

The press down treatment is to put the tablet on a flat surface screen down then press firmly with a thumb all over the back side. I pressed once every square inch.

Banging it, restarting and rebooting (holding power button down) did not work for me.

I downloaded an antivirus software and cleaned out my tablet. It asked me to remove some possible apps (mine was towelroot). After cleanup, I restarted my tablet and auto rotation WORKED AGAIN.

Maybe it was a virus or a corrupted application that helped me once before to connect my keyboard. But anyway, after removal, my keyboard and all the functions on my tablet worked.

So try using the antivirus and restarting it as well.

This is a hardware issue. You need to remove the back cover and remove and reseat the larger ribbon cable. This will fix the issue 100%.
