G-Sensor Bugged? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Hi, first time poster! Anyways I recently acquired the HTC Fuze which is my first Windows mobile phone and everyhting semmed to by working fine until today. Now whenever I enter any games, the camera, or any program that requires the G-sensor it always assumes I am in landscape mode and I am unable to move to portrait mode even when the phone is fully up right.
The sensor still seems to work, but only in landscape mode. I have applied several tweaks and added several applications, but none that were anything major and none that have to do with the G-sensor (at least I think). I have also tried calibrating it several times and the every seems to work right it just won't leave landscae mode. Anyways, is there any way I can fix this without a hard reset (trying to avoid)? Also my phone is still under the ATT 30 day return policy so should I just return it and get a new one?
Thanks to anyone that can help!

does the calibration tool give any feedback?
are you sure your taking the pictures rightside up w/ the camera?
some games require u to flip out the keyboard for landscape or portriate mode, have u tried toggling the keyboard?

Yes, the calibration tool seems to work fine.

Also about the keyboard,yes I have tried that and it seems to work for some applications, but some applications stay in one mode regardless of whether I have it flipped up, down, right, left, or with the keyboard out.

Okay. it now works again, but the when I want to take a picture it is in landscape mode still. I can take a picture in portrait mode, but all the photo adjustment modes (when you tap the screen) are still in landscape, but I think I might know what caused that. I made of few adjustments to the registry to get some more camera modes and i think that might have caused it. Also, why do American cellphone carriers have to stifle innovation by removing the front camera?
Thanks for your advice Orbitrix.

G-sensor only works sometimes
Usually, the G-sensor does not rotate the phone when it is supposed to in various apps-like photos. I have tried adjusting the timing in Advanced Config and using the calibration tool. Sometimes it works perfectly, but usually, nothing happens. This is VERY frustrating!!!
Anyone have any other fixes?
Rom version: 1.90.707.4 WWE
Rom date: 8/23/08
Radio version: 1.02.25.19
Protocol version: 52.33.25.17U

Some progress??
I just noticed, that if I open the Pictures/Video program, so it brings up the screen of thumbnails, then open a photo from there, the G-Sensor doesn't work when I tilt the TP. However, if I scroll through the photos in the TF3D interface, then select a photo from there, the tilt works very quickly. (I reset interval to 75).

Camera v2.70 build 21026 problem...

Hi,
As most of you should know, this version starts up the camera in landscape mode. It's actually a good feature but I'm having problem with this features.
Changing the screen mode is quite slow (portrait to lanscape and vice versa) if we have several today plugins enabled (especially PocketBreeze). On starting the camera, the screen is changed to landscape. The camera shows what it should but it does not responds to any keypress. This is because the today plugins are taking turns to refresh themselves (even though they a hidden in the background).
So, is there a way to disable this feature? I already checked the in registry and found none.
Thanks.
Strange, my camera of same version starts up in Potrait mode automatically...
After install move new camera.exe to /windows catalog and replece old one.

Camera not saving picture

Hey all,
I just got (and totally love) the Fuze. I've already flashed it to NATF's 2.2 and it's just amazing. The only problem is that somewhere between yesterday and today, the camera has totally flaked out on me :-(.
I'll take a picture (and regardless of if its set to store on the memory card or internal mem) and once I opt to save it, the Fuze just hangs with the "Windows thinking" ball spinning. After a while it goes back to "Albums" and the recently shot picture isn't there.
I implemented the GPS fix and have been toying in Advance Config -- but I don't think any of those changes should have affected the camera. Even weirder, the picture counter is incrementing and I do have open storage on both the card and internal.
Any ideas?

same thing happened to me.
Turns out autoconfig has a bug for the fuze.
For the camera options in autocofig
there's something called portrait, and was initially disabled.
changing it to enable breaks the camera.
took me days to figure that out...l o l

Thanks! That was the problem and now the camera works fine! Is there a FAQ or something this should go into? Without your help I would never have found that.

haa..np at all..just sharing something that i've found out after hours of hard resetting, flashing, installing, etc... l ol
maybe tomorrow'll be you helping me...
cheers!

Thanks!
I had this problem too, on both my Sprint Touch Pro and AT&T Fuze. Wouldn't save in photo mode (though video, contacts photo, panorama etc. modes were okay). There was no error message on the Fuze so I didn't realize there was a problem until I went looking for some pictures and couldn't find them. After I figured out what has going on I checked the Sprint version to see if it had the same problem. The Sprint Pro at least gives an error message about not being able to save the file.
I had installed Advanced Config on both devices, so I thought it might be one of the settings in there that had killed the camera. However, telling AC to restore all settings didn't fix it so I've been tearing my hair out looking for other causes. Fortunately I found this thread before rendering myself completely bald.
Is this a bug in AC, or was I wrong in my assumption that "restore all settings" would restore everything to default?
I wonder how many people with Fuzes have this problem but don't know about it due to the lack of an error message.
Cheers,
Elizabeth
Thanks, saved me hours. My pictures would save sometimes, but only half of the picture. Works perfectly again now.
glad someone helped you out!

Thank you for sharing. Can't say how much time you saved me but you did!
Some searches I used to find this were:
raphael camera issue
raphael camera pause
raphael camera saving problem
touch camera issue
touch camera pause
touch camera saving problem
omg! this has bugged for the last month or so, and i've been too busy to do a good search on it! i thought i didn't try the right combination. i don't remember changing anything with AC, still thanks so much for the solution funnysam
Does new Autoconfig version fix the bug?
The latest version is 3.3.0.0.
Does anyone know if that bug was fixed?
I ask (instead of providing feedback from my own experience) because I had the older version installed first, and then installed the new version over it, so maybe the bug persisted.
AdvConfig 3.3 doesn't list the option for portrait now.
AdvConfig 3.3 doesn't list the option for portrait now.
Hmm, interesting.
I performed a "Reset all settings" did a soft reset, and the option for the Portrait is now visible, with "Enabled (default)" selected.
Once I disabled that option, camera is working great.

Same problems, and this works for me
Thanks, Bros
I'm using AC3.3 and have some weird camera issues. The closest option I can see in AC3.3 is to "Encode photos in portrait mode" and have NO selected. Is this the option you guys are talking about?
Yes. That's the option.
For me, that fixed the issue of the camera taking *forever* to save the picture and then display the options buttons. Even if I left the camera to finish, the picture never saved.
And, it didn't matter whether the shot was landscape or portrait - with that option enabled, the problem persisted until that setting was disabled.
Too bad, because that would be a nice feature!
Thank you!!!
This problem has been plaguing me for the last 2 days. Seems that whenever I get my Fuze working just the way I like, something else happens to irritate the crap outta me. Thanks for posting this!
Hm.. I'm using Advanced Config 3.3 as well and it doesn't display the portrait option. Does anybody know the registry setting this is modifying?
I am glad I stumbled across this series of posts. My experience with the Autocofig Bug gave me several days worth of heartburn. Thank you for the help!! It was much appreciated!!!

[SOLVED] Album / Camera problems after installing Diamond 2 G-Sensor

I am looking for somebody to please attach to this thread a .reg of virgin (or nearly) settings stored in HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera
I'm trying to figure out a problem I've read about in other threads with unsatisfactory resolutions (hard reset and/or disable a feature). There are actually two problems.
1. My camera started locking up after taking pictures and pictures would not save. In Camera\Image there's a setting EnableEncodePortrait that controls whether the camera automatically rotates the picture 90 degrees. If you disable this, the camera WILL take pictures again, but...
2. The Album shows all new pictures rotated incorrectly 90 degrees. Basically, every picture is portrait and not landscape.
Now, these two problems seem to oppose each other. If you want the pictures autorotated to the correct orientation, you need the setting enabled. But if you don't want the camera to freeze you need it disabled. lol
Obviously somewhere along the line in my tweaking I've fouled something up. I'm thinking it's just a matter of finding some setting to tweak back to an appropriate value, so I wanted to compare the registry from a virgin install to mine. I would hard reset myself, but then I can't test to see if I fixed the problem or not.
Can I get a hand, my fellow tweakers?!
Thanks!
----
EDIT: I've found that my problem was the Diamond 2's gsensor. After I uninstalled that, and set EnableEncodePortrait back to zero, my problems magically disappeared.
are there anyway to have camera work proper with diamond 2 gsensor?
i dont think the solution is to uninstall and forget about it. i never have any problems with camera. i know the camera uses the accelerometer to decide whether to have the picture in landscape or portrait. i have an issue with double rotate in album though. ill have to get some proper screenshots of what i mean. other problems i have is teeter freaks out. i solved that by deleting the entry for it in gconfig. the rest i havent decided yet.
thanks
i uninstalled and live happily ever after~

How do I allow landscape for ALL apps (incl phn, home screen, start menu, etc) WM6.5

I've had my leo (us version) for a little over a year, and in the traditional MS way of things, the dern thing needs a hard reset. If I get motivated enough, I'm going to try android, but that's another story.
For the moment, there is one thing that has pissed me off about WM6.5 on the Leo since I started using it: it forces portrait mode in certain apps like the home screen, phone, start menu list, remote desktop, etc......
Is there any way to.....uh..... "unforce" portrait in these apps? I would like for it to just work like all the other apps that read the Gsensor.
I know it's possible, because there are moments when I cut my phone on/off or cover the proximity sensor and I can see those apps in landscape mode for just a moment before they automatically switch to and "lock" in portrait mode.
I googled it, and searched here, and can't seem to find a straightforward answer. I've also found work arounds for specific apps, but don't want to fix 1 or 2 programs that are limited by this, I want to just fix it so any program will react to the g sensor.
Anyone know anything about this?
TIA!

Problem: Display rotation don´t work

Hello,
i have issues with the Display Rotation.
The Accelerometer don´t work anymore at my phone. Last Week i was wondering that the Display won´t rotate at the Album. Then i checked the Display Settings. Auto Rotate was checked.
at the Service Menu *#*#7378423#*#* the Accelerometer don´t respond. But the Gyroscope work fine.
At this Time i have installed the Concept Software from Sony. Today i´m back home from Holiday i go back to offical Stock Software. But it won´t work also.
Smartrotate on or off are the same...
The last idea is to repair the Software with the PC Companion. Is there an option to calibrate the Accelerometer?
I have the same issues with my D6653 - auto rotation doesn't work (but very rarely it does come back). In service menu the Accelerometer doesn't respond, as well as Proximity switch is off and doesn't work on calls.
This is not a rom-specific problem as I've tried to revert back to stock firmware but alas no changes. It must be some miscommunication between hardware and software.
Any ideas what to do? Can it be related to kernel?
yesterday i've had the same problem i needed to wipe to have the accelerometer back to work
Hi all rather than opening a new thread I am upping this one
On my D6603 screen rotation is very erratic and often not working.
Any idea what I can investigate?
I wander if it could be app/service related of hardware deficiency.
Thanks!
Any luck with this?
I am currently using an EM95X Android Box with a Viewsonic touch screen. The touch screen has been working perfect with the box. My issue is with the rotation ability. Anytime I force the screen into portrait mode the system UI crashes. Unfortunately, I need the monitor view to be vertical. I cannot figure out how to stop it from crashing. I have tried several rotation apps with the same results.
I have went into the build prop to view the rotation texts and the only thing I have found is this:
"Persist.sys.app.rotation=middle_port"
I thought I might be able to find somewhere I can change the rotation, but I have not.
Any suggestions?
