Everything works fine, and when i first got it, the 3d gallery would move when the device was tilted, now, i think i might have changed a setting somewhere and the accelerometer doesnt work, someome please help.
First start by searching the forums, I can tell you this question has been asked before. Second, if you have searched all the forums and still can't find an answer, post your question in the proper forum. Or in the case of cyanogen use the irc for quick help.
You're asking in the wrong place...
Does it go to landscape when you tilt the phone to landscape in apps such as the browser or mms? If so, its the gallery app

Go to settings, cyanogenmod settings, user interface, and make sure that your desired rotation settings are selected under the accelerometer options.
I would just reflash the rom should fix it

if i reflash, will i lose all my settings and contacts?

My accelerometer stopped working in some apps. I have Elixir & it shows that the accelerometer is outputting data, & if I use my camera it can sense whether it's in portrait or landscape, yet if I pull up my browser, messaging app, or gallery it won't switch orientation.
What the hell is wrong & how can I fix it?
Mine started thus today in the browser, thought nothing of it until my browser assumes the phone to be upside down and refusing to change it's orientation, how odd.
I'm currently on RCMix 1.0 ics build. Prob gonna reflash later or go back to gb build if not fixed, see what happens.
Make sure you have "Auto-rotate" in Quick settings if you're on sense...

No problem! I'm glad to help!
Using stock rom, auto-rotate just quit working.
Looked for a setting but nothing seems to help.
Any ideas? Did my accelerometer just die? I will find one of those games that uses it and see if the game detects movement of the device but other than that, I am clueless.
you should consider doing that first and posting your results after
Accelerometer is working at least in the games, just proved that. Still no joy with apps like Dolphin Browser. For example, in Dolphin I went into settings and checked the "Auto" selection under "Orientation" but it just stays portrait no matter which way I tilt the device. If I check Landscape within Dolphin it does keep the browser landscape all the time but that's not really what I am after. Any help would be appreciated. Thnx

Doh! I kept looking at the settings over and over and going into the Motion section but none of that made sense. I just didn't think to go into Display. Wow, I feel like an idiot..
Fixed!
Now the question is, who/why was it unchecked? I didn't uncheck it. Oh well, problem solved.
Thanks!
Hey guys. I just recently switched to a T-Mobile One S from my Sprint Evo 3D. I've loved the phone so far, but I've noticed one dumb thing about it. On the Evo (running a gingerbread ROM), when long-pressing a phone number in a text, email, webpage, etc., I get a context menu with options to call, text, add to contacts, and so on. On the One S, I don't get any of these options, it just highlights the number for copying.
Am I missing something, or is this feature really gone? Is this true for all ICS ROMs, or just the stock T-Mo one I have? My brother seems to recall something about an Apple patent infringement that made Google or the phone makers omit this feature. Can anyone shed some light on this?
If the feature really is missing, is there a way to add it? Maybe there are ROMs that have already done this?
Thanks for any info!
Thank Apple for that.
Flash a ROM with a 1.78 base like leedroid maybe, you'll lose wifi calling though. Did this never work on Tmobile US One S or did this get disabled in 1.84 update?
If you're rooted, you can remove the HTC linkify app and the functionality will return...Not sure if you can disable via app manager if unrooted

I just tried the instructions linked in this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696536
Unfortunately, the only change is that now tapping on a phone number doesn't do anything (it used to bring up the dialer). Long-press still just selects the number for copying.
So now I can't even dial numbers by tapping them. I'm going to restore the build.prop backup and wipe the caches again and see what happens.

Did you reboot? Have you tried Settings/App Associations and clearing out the defaults? You might also have to clear the defaults in your dialer to get it to work.
I did reboot to recovery and clear the caches after deleting the apk and doing the build.prop changes.
I restored the build.prop backup and deleted the first instance of ro.da1.enable and then edited the second one from "true" to "false." This got the tap-to-dial working again, but the long-press stayed the same. I tried adding the ro.da1.method=false line, but that didnt seem to help.
I was going to check the app association settings, but that option in settings has disappeared. Is this because I deleted HTClinkifydispatcher.apk?

I think so...I didn't even do any build prop changes and I can tap to call from the browser but can't get the menu you described. Don't think I've ever seen that on any other phone I've used, so maybe it was specific to your previous models software?
I got the app associations menu back by restoring the linkify apk, undoing the build.prop changes, and clearing the two caches.
So now I'm back where I started. I have a softball game now, but I'll give this another try when I get back.
I'll get a screenshot of the menu the Evo 3D brings up when I long-press on a number.
Ok, I just went through the process again, and I don't get anything different as far as SMS and dialing goes. I tried clicking on a YouTube link, and I was given the choice between the browsers or the app, whereas before it would just open in a browser, so I know there's a change.
This time I renamed the linkify apk, deleted the first ro.da1.enable entry, and changed the second one to "false." I also restarted and wiped both caches.
Maybe the long-press menu was just a Sense option in Gingerbread. Does anybody know of a way to add this to a Sense 4.0 ICS ROM? Thanks a lot for the help so far, by the way.
I don't have any suggestions, but I remember this function/ability since you have brought it up. And I would like to get it back as well.
Going to look into it.

It will work if you double click the phone number, for me works
@syntropic - That'd be great, thanks!
@sebysebu - I tried double-tapping, and it just pulls the number up in the dialer like a single tap does. Is this what you get, or are you getting something else?

First of all I want to say that, also, I would like to have this function again.
Secondly, yes, this is what I get, I didn't tried before the single-tap, only the long press and the double-tap, my mistake, sorry. But after it pulls the number up in the dialer you can just dial then end the call quickly, then long press and you have those options. It's true that is more time wasted this way, but it can be done.
Anybody have any new ideas on this? I'm willing to use my phone as a guinea pig. I'm no expert, but I'm fairly familiar with command-line stuff.

Please post in the correct section.

I recently install CM10 on my TF101 and Auto rotate is not working i try various roms but still not work i was wondering if there a fix or something please let me know
Auto rotate is activate in setting but do nothing
Which CM10 version are you using?
I tried several and auto rotate worked on all of them (it is one of those things I am using all the time).
Right now I don't have CM10 installed, but I think there were two places where you could activate autorotate... Maybe you have it enabled on the quick settings but disabled otherwhere.
Take some time and thoroughly check the settings
Thanks!!!
Thanks CalvinH for Reply Right now i have [ROM][JB][PA:CM10 HYBRID] Unofficial ParanoidAndroid For the TF101 - [15/10] STABLE-1 install on my tf101 y check what you said i get inside setting and autorotate is activate and in laucher setting is activate too so I dont know what is the problem Any other ideas? I really need the auto rotate
I used that ROM and it worked... Sorry but nothing comes to my mind.
If you haven't already done it, post this question in the ROM thread. The dev is following the thread closely and answers every question / bug.
Good luck
I'll keep it short for now and update this topic start as needed.
Here you can find instructions on downloading & installing a preliminary version of Cyanogenmod 10 for Alcatel OT-995.
I'm fairly happy with the progress I've made recently, though it should not be considered stable. Some features are known to be broken, for others it's your job to point out missing functionality.
Links of interest:
Installation instructions
Downloads
Installation instructions
Changelog
Issue tracker
Source code
Please read the installation instructions carefully
Most basic device functionality should be working. A list of known issues (incomplete):
Video mode camera overlay may bug; workaround: launch regular camera, switch to video
Occasional artifcats on window transitions
Hardware video decoding is unavailable, use MX Player or VLC instead.
Not implemented: HDMI out, FM radio
The custpack partition is used to store /system/app, that's why a separate CWM images is required to install CM10 releases. This also means it's backup/restore functionality is currently broken. Advanced backup might allow you to just backup/restore /data though.
You may mention any broken functionality here, but I prefer receiving an issue report here, as that allows me to keep track of things more easily.
Do check whether your specific issue has already been reported, and try to be as detailed as possible.
You should be comfortable flashing/recovering your device - if not, this might not be for you yet - wait until we smoothen things out
Bring on the feedback. I'm sure I missed something in the guides or release.
Disclaimer: I'm still working on a best-effort basis, every now and then my spare time is severely limited..
Nice - nice indeed.
many thanks for taking time and developing for ot 995.
it was just today that i had installed ics and now this??? my lucky day...
anyway, will help you in reporting bugs.... keep rocking.....
extra great news ! Iuss, i'm downloading it right now and flashing it Thank you very much for this release (even though is preliminary)
EDIT: I flashed it. Booting was quick. I was setting the phone and i restarted the phone.
So at first touch everything looks nice
- Scrolling is a bit strange (is scroll downward the screen goes up).
- The phone is charging and the LED is not lit.
- Camera works (photos, video, and panorama with some greenish overlay).
- Data not working. Confirmed.
- Wifi works
Tnx again iuss!
Thanks for the hard work, I'm sure this will be WAY better than Alcatel's ICS release. Just love me some jellybeans :silly:
Just booting it up now. Nice boot logo, I haven't seen that one before. Yours?
Yes, thanks very very much!

Very nice indeed.
Testing it right now
First of all. Fantastic job! Well done! I tested the rom.
My experience was
# My camera and video worked pretty good. It took pictures and video was working. Maybe a little problem with the focus on Video. And some greenish with the transition between taken picture and camera.
# Wifi, Phone works
# No Data/3G
# Led Backlight keys dosen't work when u wake the phone up from sleep. But if u change the light settings the Keys lights up, and works.
# Multi touch works good and responsive.
Thanks alot an keep up the good work!
It seems very nice, but I'm confused because I was asked to unlock my sim again which was done when I bought it months ago, and it didn't even work with that code. What could be the cause, and would it work if I went back to ICS?

You should adjust the settings for your screen brightness. What i did was that I used the quick settings widget. There's an option for brightness click that one, and the backlight keys should light up.
Awesome start...
Iuss, CM10 is great. It has a few quirks, but so far I am loving it.
I have run into one issue, I can't create a Google account. I ran recovery, booted CM10, and went to create my Google account under System settings > Accounts and there is no option for Google, just Corporate and Email. Am I missing something?
I was able to manually download Titanium and restore many of my apps, but several won't load. That's too be expected though. But being able to create a Google account is pretty important to me.
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Did you flash gapps? If not do that,then see if you're still not able to start your account. I flashed it before I booted for the first time and not only did I get prompted to start/login to an account, most of my apps were reinstalled.

tumaini418, yes, I did (I followed iuss' instructions including the download links). Another odd thing that has happened is I have lost the ability to access SD Card through USB.
Fortunately I backed ICS before setting CM10, so I was able to Recover back to ICS, and I suddenly have access to my SD Card again. I'm going to stay with ICS for tomorrow as I must have a working phone, but I'll try ICS again later this weekend.
Could you say me if there is a CM9 build which should be totally functional?! It help me to wait CM10!

There is a Alcatel official ICS rom that iuss fixed so that anyone with this phone can use, but no CM9.
I almost forgot, the same rom is available in a tweaked and stripped version also. Thanks to mistercheese.

That was supposed to work, seems I had my brightness control set to 'half' (or whatever it is) - then it does work. Will replace the proprietary liblights - it appears to be broken and/or depend on framework hacks.

As other said, you either forgot to flash gapps, or used the wrong CWM image when flashing.

Previous releases (CM9 included) had less functionality.
iuss concerning the phone asking for a sim pin. I got the same thing when switching from airplane mode. It's a popup. I tried to enter a pin I used in the screen lock before, but of course that wasn't it. It's very confusing because my sim has never had a pin to unlock it.
