Auto rotate not working (Sony Xperia z5 Premium)

Didn't think I would be back so fast, but I have another issue that suddenly started happening.

Checking to see if anyone else has this issue, or if there's a fix,or even if it's a known problem.

My auto-rotate stopped working. Was working fine the last 24 hours, give or take. Which is the duration of how long I've had the device.

I checked all the settings, and googled around, so I restarted my phone, now it works again.

Didn't know about the diagnostic tool until after I rebooted the device and it started working again.

If it stops working, I'll definitely run diagnostics.

But until then; known issue? Anyone else experience the same thing? A permanent fix?

guys its a hardware problem. I had the same problem. I had E6633 (xperia z5 dual) gyroscope, accelerometer and compass was not working. I tried everything (factory reset, reboot in safe mode, xperia companion format). It worked for few minutes and stopped working again. then i sent it to service, they gave me E6853 (xperia z5 premium) it has been 5 days and no problem occured since then.
