[Q] Auto-rotate function fail - G-sensor calibration aborted - HTC Sensation

Hi All. The Screen Auto-rotation has failed on my Sensation. Everything is set to allow it in Settings but no joy.I've tried everything [almost] inc Battery Removal, Disabling Flip-over Speakerphone & Live Wallpapers, and calibrating G-sensor but it always says Calibration Aborted. Anyone got any other ideas?

Oh dear. Bubbles not working. That's a hardware fault then?

And how about Elixir2 and its sensor diagnostic utility?

Hmm... try to re-flash stock ROM (if you have not done this yet). If this does not solve the problem, then the problem is hardware.

Okay. I'm running Bulletproof at the mo.
Where would I find the stock ROM please?
[I got it in August from Vodafone. Don't remember any branding but it did have all the 360.com bloatware.]

Where would I find the stock ROM please?

Thanks. Will report back tomorrow

installed original ROM and it still does not work, so sending it back. Glad it wasn't the Bulletproof ROM's fault! Thanks for your help

G-sensor
Hi. I installed ARHD 5.0.2 on my Sensation 4G. Now auto-rotate doesn't work. It sets screen to horizontal, but it doesn't set screen back to vertical. In other apps sensor works perfect. Calibration didn't help. What should I do?

Help
Hey guys I also got a same problem.
My phone slipped off my hand and fell off and the last time i use it(not rooted), i swear that the g sensor still worked.After that fall, it didn't work, sensor tools didn't detect it help me.

Camera Stopped working

Has anyone had this problem here, i tried searching the forums but no answers only people with similar questions. Well i dont really know how or why it happened, i never dropped my phone and take good care of it, but i usually am use to upgrading and downgrading the phone back and forth with wm6.0 roms..specifically with Ivans V3,4,5 and 6. I dont think its a driver or software issue since i even tried downgrading to WM5 but still the problem persists. When i tap on the camera icon or click the camera button the Display goes black for like 3 seconds then the camera application starts but i dnt see anything, i thought that maybe it was a glitch in the camera application so i installed Cool Camera but the problem was still there so if anyone knows whats gone wrong with the phone id apprecate it if you can tell me how to fix it and what needs to be done.
Same issue. And it takes a really long time for the camera application to start.
i have same problem :s

But some guys have mentioned that it could be a driver issue, im confusde...are the drivers stored in the rom along with the OS or some place else?
since you flashed your rom and still the camera didn't work...
it all points to a hardware problem

so you can't touch in 4ext.
hardware problem
but its strange what could have happend........ am still confused.........
First of all try to look at these threads - maybe the connection got loose:
Touchscreen Fix - Sensation
Touchscreen Fix II - Sensation
If this does not helps, try to flash the RUU
And if still nothing > RMA
ohh sujith
yes try the fixes mentioned by davebugyi ...before reverting to GB as i said
i totally forgot about them

I've noticed this too before, but not since the latest release (4/3/13), could be a coincidence, but if you are on an older build, try updating.

yeah, that is the latest. I'm not sure what the problem is. try a fix permissions in recovery, I haven't been having a problem. also try in different light conditions, as that could be related, as well as any crap that has built up over the sensor (just left of the notification light, you can see it at the right angle)

I have this doubt. What it's "more latest" CyanogenMod-Dev-edison-nightly-20130401-2132-signed.591fan.com.zip(previously mentioned) or CM10-nightly-NONE_CN-20130412-2102-signed.zip from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869692

mmm and What exactly do Fix Permissions in Recovery?... I just wanna know XD. Anyway It doesn't solve my issue
I would also like info on this because my proximity sensor is broke and always thinks there is an object by the phone, which makes in-call operations impossible...

[Q] Touch screen stops responding must reboot to fix

Recently two n5 we have in the family started doing the same thing,
touch screen is not responsive (buttons do work) and the device must be
rebooted holding the power button to get it working again.
Quite annoying since it happens couple times every day.
Searched around but didn't find any reports.
Both phones stock, rooted, gravity box and touch control installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I'm going to take a wild guess here, But try uninstalling touch control and see if the problem occurs again. touch control has no issues on my phone btw.

Thanks for reply!
What kernel are you using with touch control (Franco 33)?
It was working perfect for us with Franco till about rev 29, after that we got problems with graphic errors on the display once in the while, relished stock offered from touch control installation, and now this problem for change.

Just had to be send mine back for same problem, only turning it off didn't fix my problem. Not rooted
Hmm...this just started happening to be as week this week. Happened twice today. I'm running the stock ROM & kernel.
I wonder if an update to some app is causing this.

Installed FC 33, the touch screen problem is not there anymore but the graphic distortion is back.
It happens once in the while and looks like poor TV signal for second or two.

Oh OK, if I reboot it's working fine and since 2 devices have the same problem using same set up, it shouldn't be hw problem.
Well mine has gone back.. Sounds like a different problem.

Fingerprint Issues

Hey. I got a new S6 yesterday.
Everything was fine, except one thing. The scanner doesn't work anymore, since about an hour. I tried to test the sensor using *#0*#, and all the fields said "PASS". Setting a new finger works perfectly fine too. But whenever I try to use it on the lock screen, literally nothing happens. Not a single thing.
Is someone able to help me? Is this a known issue?
Kind regards and warm thanks

I bought it with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow preinstalled. Already checked for software updates but it didn't find any. I don't really want this to happen again, you know..
