[Q]How to calibrate the G-Sensor of Nexus S? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying my best to find a way to calibrate the G-sensor of the Nexus S, but failed.
In this mobile phone, i can not find a "sensorcalibutil_yamaha"or "/data/misc/AK8973Prms.txt" or the calibration tools that HTC phones have..
and I tried using GPS Status or a software called Bubble to calibrate...it just works in the software itself but not the system. so still, my doodle jump keeps jumping right when i put the phone horizontal on the desk...
So... Is anybody have some way to solve this problem?
I think there must be a file which have the settings of the G-sensor coordinate but where is it?
or even better, can we find a software to calibrate it?

i have that problem too.
i use tricorder to check. it's a bit tilt to the left, which makes doodle jump keeps jumping right.
it be great if there's a way to calibrate the g-senor.

sorry for jumping this thread, anyone found a solution? (using ICS)
it's really annoying that my nexus steer left like 10 degrees when it's straight, hard to play temple run / mega jump like that.

It doesn't help the G sensor, your solution may help a compass issue

Proximity sensor adjustment?

Hey guys I have the CoreDroid non Gingerbread rom, and noticed that I practically need to have the top of the phone touching my head in order for it to keep the screen off. So if I tilt the phone any which way I will end up either hanging up or pressing any number of buttons. Is there an app or setting I can change to increase the sensitivity of the proximity sensor? I noticed I did not have this problem with the stock rom. Thanks guys.

I was told by HTC that the proximity sensor was a hardware issue..hence the reason for my replacement - I didn't look into it really..
So there is a fix for it using an app? What if it doesn't work period - is it a hardware issue?

For anybody following this thread who also found that the above link is dead, this one may help you. It's a proximity adjuster app, so you can use it to set which levels you want to have the screen react at.

GTA III Accelerometer Issues

I managed to get GTA III mobile on my inspire and it runs great. Very little lag even with the extra effects enabled and without overclock.
However, the accelerometer seems to be 90 degrees offset, I have to hold the phone portrait in order to steer straight and steers hard right/left depending on which landscape I'm in. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?
How is your accelerometer doing in other apps?
If it's not responding as desired, you can download/try one of the accelerometers calibration apps found in the market.

I have plenty of other accelerometer/racing games and never had this problem. Something to do with GTA III. I'll try calibration.
Personally I'd try redownloading the app and try it again

Did you download the data when the app prompted or download on your PC?

I downloaded when prompted. Tried calibration and still no fix.
I just tested it on my phone and it also bugs.
I really don't know what it could be.
You could try other ROMs.
I've actually tested 3 different roms myself, but they didn't prove much difference in performance for me.

I have the same problem on my htc sensation, you have to hold the phone upright, aill look around and post here if i find a fix.
im running the the newest beta ics on my inspire it runs great for about 20 secs of play then the hole phone freezes i am oc,d tho but also have tried on gb builds and same thing happens havent tried using the acc but i need to figure out why it freezes any ideas i do skip the beginning intro doubt that would be the prob ive downloaded the data twice just to be sure and same prob even with chainfire disabled on the gb build same thing

What version GTA III do you have?
V1.1 quit after playing some 30, 40 sec.
1.0 appears to be fine.
Edit: doesn't quit, it freezes, having to "battery pull"(it's not even a force quit).
ya thats how it was for me the whole phone froze couldnt power off or anything 1.2 fixed it for me
Yep same here on stock GB non rooted inspire... All other games work fine..

Any other better performance in 1.2?
Ya runs flawless for me now although I wish it worked for me on ics without the freezing problem

The issue persist for me on 1.3 as well
I heard is it's a compatibility problem; when a game is built to be played in a tablet, where it's default screen is landscape, the accelerometer in the game will play normally, but when playing the game in a phone, witch is made to be always in portrait, (badly made games dont know it's in portrait) the game wont compensate for the 90 degrees between sideways and upward position.
If you downloaded a hacked version or whatever, didn't get it from the market, this may be the issue.
Edit, idk if the explanation was too confusing, I just woke up.
technically it works like this:
If a game built to be played on tablet, or badly built game:
When played on tablet: 0 degrees difference in accelerometer.
When played on phone: 90 degrees difference (from landscape to portrait devices) that the accelerometer SHOULD compensate for, but doesn't. Same with the tablet, if the game is playable in both landscape and portrait, it should compensate those 90 degrees when switched screen modes...
just bought it from market. Still no fix (SGS3).

[TIP] multi-touch

If you turn off HTC Gestures, you will get 10 point touch.
Otherwise its just 2.

Forget the noob questions:
1) What would be gained from 10 point touch (i.e. benefits)?
2) What does HTC gestures actually do for us?
1. Some apps require more points. i.e. a guitar app forming a chord.
2. htc gestures is only for the 3 finger swipe up for "Media Link HD" which is for wireless screen mirroring.

Nice one (I was wondering wth htc gestures were). When I first saw it I was hoping it meant for things like lockscreen gestures, etc.
We really need a sticky for tips, etc for things like this. I know we have limitations without root but I bet there are still quite a few little tips/tweaks that would be helpful.
Nice tip. I was wondering why some gaming was failing. Downloaded xmen from amazon app store yesterday and the joystick kept screwing up while i pressed the other keys.
I was having a problem where my phone would go to Media Link while I was on calls (guess my face was rubbing it and kicking off the gesture). Turned the gesture thing off and no longer have that problem.
**** yeah!
Quick question: I'm trying to play shadow gun but every time I let go of a second touch it stops holding the first touch. Is there any way to fix this? It makes the higher end FPS games unplayable.

are you using one of those CM9 based roms? if you are, then it is a known bug.

I'm using CleanROM DE.
So we won't be able to use AOSP based roms without issues then?

Once we get source they can fix that on aosp roms.

First of all I'd like to know if the only solution to touchscreen problem is screen change...
In this case I'll try to change it alone, I saw some youtube video and It seems to be easy....
ach sintech touchscreen .... 70 euro....:silly::silly:
AW: [Q] touchscreen problem desire s
Change touchscreen and screen both. You can destroy the display very easy. So the 70€ are a good price for good quality.

Guys... I believe I found a little piece of software (on another forums) that might make all of our troubles go away
This is from Lignja (earlier comment):
if you have touchscrean and swipe problems on your sensation, download SGS touchscreen booster from market, install it, press on super optimized, and pull first 3 collums on end left, and 2 last on end right, then press apply... your sensation will worke like a charm, you wont have any swipe problems or locking ring... then you can test it and turn back ond defult or uninstal that application and it will still work... hope it helps you like it helped to me... soz for bad english..
I'm testing it now... so far it's working... fingers crossed

Trouble with "Look-around" Stick
Hi, first of all thanks for this thread.
I just installed the app and it works pretty well but i figured out one problem. I cant turn around properly in Dead Trigger 2. The Character stops to turn after a slight look into one direction. I have to push the stick a several times in order to do a 180* turn.
It would be great if anyone could help me. Is so much more fun with a Controller.
