Still having problem? the phone can not rotate properly.
- Go to Setting -> Display -> Horizontal Calibration.
When we start calibrate, make sure that we put the phone on the flate surface. Then tap on the "calibrate" menu.
Wait untill the process has completed and it says "calibrated".

Try to rotate the phone again... and i hope it will work properly.
