CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 65
A user rotates a cell phone horizontally to read emails, but the display remains vertical, even though the settings indicate autorotate is on. Which of the following will MOST likely resolve the issue?
Answer options
- A. Recalibrating the magnetometer
- B. Recalibrating the compass
- C. Recalibrating the digitizer
- D. Recalibrating the accelerometer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The accelerometer is responsible for detecting the orientation of the device, so recalibrating it can help the phone recognize the horizontal position. The other options, such as recalibrating the magnetometer or compass, do not affect screen orientation and thus would not resolve the autorotate issue.
