Earlier this year, Google launched the Pixel 6 phones with punch-hole AMOLED display, Tensor chipset, and Android 12 OS. Soon after its launch, some users started facing fingerprint scanner issues, followed by network issues, and screen-cracking issues. Now, there’s a new bug reported by netizens where the screen does not automatically rotate.

As reported by AndroidPolice, the screen rotation on some Pixel 6 units do not work. It seems that the phone’s sensors aren’t responding and it is making the phone stuck in portrait mode.

The publication tried troubleshooting one of such units and as expected, the major problem was with the sensors. The gyroscope and accelerometer sensors didn’t return any data to testing apps like Sensor Test. Similarly, the compass sensor was also not working as again, it didn’t show any data. When tried in map apps the apps didn’t show data of the way the phone was pointed to. However, some other sensors like Barometer, Proximity, Magnetometer, Light sensors were found to be working in the unit tested by the publication.

As of now, there’s no clear fix for such units. But, at least a simple reboot may help. We expect the company to respond to such issues and provide a fix as soon as possible.
