Photos no longer rotate automatically??

Don't know if this has been posted, but I always leave screen rotation on. A few weeks back outta no where, this icon appeared in the top right hand corner of Gallery. If i rotate my phone even with screen rotation on it no longer rotates UNLESS I press that button in upper right hand corner. Anyone experiencing this issue and if so, is there a FIX??

I also have an i337 but haven't seen that feature. Occasionally my autorotate quits working and I have to go back into settings and re-enable it. I'm not sure why it does that.

Next time it happens I'll have to see if that button pops up as in your screenshot above.

My image page differs from yours by not having that rotate button. Instead (and further to the left) I have a screen mirror button (whether the option is enabled or not).
 
You might try the program Rotation Control. I find it very useful for a number of things.

BTW, what kind (brand/size) of bike is that?
 
@Eirian, this is all I have enabled on my phone. I checked the smart stay options and nothing. I never had this issue before. Now the phone is a At&t i337. @Goodspike, thats my 2002 YZ250F, I race hare scrambles here in South, Central, and North Florida. I literally just finished placing new plastics and graphics, chain, tires, and a bunch of other stuff. The bike runs like a champ :)

I have noticed this also. I think it just Gallery itself. When you browse in portrait then select a photo and look at it individually it will no longer rotate if you change orientation to landscape for example. You have to go back out to gallery albums then rotate the screen to landscape, then select the individual photo to see it in landscape. This is repeatable and it was the same on my old S2 also.
 
At Dave, not too many folks here have even seen that rotate icon the the upper right hand corner. Like I said i'm blown away how and where it came from, I for sure didn't apply any updates cause again i'm rooted. This crap is like really annoying!!! I don't want to, but i'm about to just unroot my G4 and restore to factory settings to see if it goes away. If there's any fix out there people, please let me know before I unroot???
