Hey everyone.

Facing a problem with my Galaxy S4 that I started using in August 2013. Screen rotation was a problem since about a month ago: when I turned on screen rotation on the top pull-down bar my screen didn't rotate. Within the camera app, all photos taken were only in landscape mode - it doesn't rotate to portrait even if I hold my phone normally.

First thought it was a software bug, but after factory resetting, upgrading to Android 4.3, it's still stuck :( can't get anywhere past stage 1 of Temple Run!!! :s22:

Did a quick google search on the matter, it seems to be a MCU problem, when I fire up the tests using *#0*# on the phone dial pad:

Anyone else encounter this problem before with screen not being able to rotate? Means it's time to knock on Samsung warranty? Roughly how long will I be phone-less while they repair my phone?
