Help Acceleratometer not working?

Occasionally apps Web pages etc won't rotate with the screen, regardless of auto rotate being on or off. This includes certain apps like youtube going to full screen mode no matter how auto rotate is set. Seems the only way to correct this is to reboot. Anyone else having this issue or have a fix?
 
This bug popped up yet again last night. I didn't feel like restarting so I just put the phone down and went to bed. This morning rotation works fine.

So in addition to rebooting, I guess just letting the phone sit for a while can correct the issue...
 
Old thread, but a solution to sensor problems, especially after flashing custom firmware to the GSN2 is this:Turn off auto rotate, power off, boot into Odin/download mode, once there - pull battery and reboot. Turn auto rotate back on, should work fine. Otherwise may be a hardware issue...Hope this helps somebody.
