[Q] problem with g sensor - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Yesterday i bought a tablet. Im not rich so i bought a cheap one: Tomtec excellent 8. After playing for some time with it i saw that my g sensor isnt working the right way with some games. Move left is go right which is annoying with racegames. I also saw that you can change g sensor in settings. It says its needed for some games. But this is still not the change i need. with this change the axes change 90 degrees. Think it has to do with the fact that a lot tablets have landscape screen as default and not portrait.
But what i want to know is if theres a fix for my problem. Maybe some of you know a tool that can change the gsensor? I cant find a solution for this, but some other tablets seem to have the same problem (flytouch 3). My tablet is not yet rooted, and im not sure if i change the g sensor the hard way, will it then always be changed? I only want it changed with a couple of games.
any help ????

No one???? So there is not such an app?

G-sensor support in WM6.5?

Hey guys!
I hope i post this in the right section now!
Anyway, i recently bought a Sunno S880. Problem is i cant really seem to get the g-sensor to work. Does WM6.5 support g-sensor? Cuz for me it doesnt work in any menu, not in picture gallery.. well nowhere really. Is it suposed to be like that? It kinda feels like my phone has some homemade, halfdone WM6.5. I've seen alot of phones that has that little bounce back in the menu when you come down the the end, or the top. Mine does'nt have that. When i press on the g-sensor icon in settings, all i get is a white screen with a bunch of squares in the middle. I suppose they are chinese letter which my phone cant show cuz i dont have the language installed. The only option i have in there is to press 1 button, then a window pops up saying something else in squares, and i get the options "Yes" or "No". I have tried pressing both yes and no but it doesnt do any difference.Everything else on the phone is in the correct language. Has anyone else experienced this?
My build is 28205.5.3.3 if that does any difference.
I know the g-sensor is working tho cuz i can use it in games.
I also have another question that i hope anyone wants to answer. I've been reading quite alot on the forums about costum ROMs. But what i cant quite figure out is what exactly is it that determines if a ROM work on a phone or not. Cuz, as the noob i am, i would think that as long as the resolution is correct, any WM6.5 would work on my phone, but then again, im a complete noob. So if anyone could just tell my why not all WM6.5 roms work on all phones i would be happy
Cheers
David
Anyone?
Same problem for me too, Last Week I purchased through online this phone Sunno s880. Exact your build mine too. I checked with those website, they are not responding properly. I installed Resco Photo Manager, then auto rotate works for viewing photo's. One more thing i couldn't use GPS. is it working for you? if works can you tell me the gps settings.

[Q] Orientation sensor problems

Hello guys. I have a problem with my orientation sensor on my Nexus 5. I think that is a hardware issue, because it didn't resolve after reboot or clean install.
The funny part is that it works in games, but not in apps like camera (i can't use panorama or 360 mode). Also, the auto rotate doesn't work. The phone has suffered from a drop on the floor, and i think that's the root of problems .
Anyway, i guess that i should take him to service. Do you guys have any ideea of the price? The orientation sensor can be replaced or it will be the motherboard?
So, recap. The phone has suffered 2 drops. The first one had shut down the auto rotate feature, the second one has maked the sensor to work better in games. I take care of my phone, but sometimes it happens.
P. S. I checked the auto rotate option.
P. P. S. I checked this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/sensors-fix-nexus-5-t2704915
Ty for any sugestions.

[Q] Touchscreen lag

Hi everyone ! I'm posting this here as well as in the SP forum because I think this kind of problem isn't limited to one model or brand.
Story:
I recently got my Xperia SP's digitizer changed (apparently most phones don't like faceplants ) and when i got it back I noticed a "slight" change.
Symptom :
When I touch the screen and slide my finger there's a little lag before the move is recorded by the phone, like, I have to move my finger more than 1/2 inch away from the starting point or it consider my finger didn't move from it. (thus resulting in little jumps when sliding through menus or if you wanna draw a circle it start by drawing a straight line ) After the phone catches up however (so, as long as I keep my finger on it) it follow up well just like it has to. It's not related to the latency of the screen (as I said, after the first move and for as long as I keep my finger on the screen there's no problem) so even if it's after a hardware modification I believe it's a software related problem.
Resolution tested :
Through research I think my problem could come from a change between the dpi of the stock digitizer and the one I got in replacement, so the stock touch_slop value isn't adapted anymore. I tried to change it in my build.prop, but it mades no difference and the problem is still here. Although it doesn't mean the problem doesn't come from that (The way Android handles touch_slop has changed in the latest versions) I don't know how to fix it and I need advices. Has someone already encountered that problem ? How can I fix it ?
So, long story short : I need a way to tweak the dpi value of the digitizer that's stored somewhere on the phone.

[Q] Touchscreen lateral movements delay (sensitvity Issue ?)

Hello, I have an issue with the touchscreen of my nvidia shield tablet.
I bought the tablet only one week ago and I'm on the Stock lollipop version 5.0.1 (2.2), but I had the same issue with the KitKat version.
When I hold my finger on the screen and I change direction, the shield take a long time (about 1 second) before validate this change of direction.
This issue make all my games unplayable in touch mode. (If I use a controller, this problem doesn't exist)
I wanted to post a video to show the problem but I can't because I'm a new user. (I can pm the link if necesserary)
On this video I activated, in the developer mode, the trace of the movement to see that the lines moves very late after my finger. (I'm doing the same test with LG G Pad to compare and see that it respond perfectly)
In the Real Racing Game: I move my finger with very little fast movements and the wheels doesn't move at all.
I tried the calibration tool in lollipop but the problem persists.
I tried also a Custom Rom ([ROM][4.4.2][wx_na_do] AOSP for Nvidia Shield Tablet LTE US)
My questions:
- Does every Nvidia Tablet Shield have this problem or is it only mine?
- Is there a way to configure the pressure and move sensitivity (from the config file /system/usr/idc/touch.idc)
I would like to know if someone has the same issue to know if I have to send back my tablet in warranty.
Thanks in advance for your time.
I've had this issue, but only while charging. More noticeably while charging using 3rd party chargers, though the nvidia charger does have some "lag" as well.

Thanks you for your answer.
I have always this problem, I never tried when the tablet is charging.
In fact the touchscreen is relatively responsive when I touch and release quickly.
The problem is when I let the finger on the touchscreen and I change the direction slowly with small moves.
Hello,
I re-up this post because I really need your help.
I sent back my tablet to the seller for my touchscreen issue.
But they don't undertsand and tell that there is no problem with the touchscreen.
They compared to another Nvidia shield and told me that the response is the same than mine.
I can't believe that all the Nvidia shield has the same response because for me all the games are unplayable.
So I would like to know if someone has the same feeling (delay) about the touchscreen when you slide and change laterally the direction with your finger to play games like racing or platform games.
Thanks in advance
Sorry if I open this again.
I've been going crazy with this issue too and have been looking around for a fix, too.
I tried applying different configurations to my /system/usr/idc/touch.idc file, without any noticeable differences.
The only setting that works for sure is 'touch.size.calibration': the possible values are "none | geometric | diameter | area | default". Whatever I set besides 'none' will make the touchscreen work like a touch pad (you scroll around and there's a little cursor moving, you tap and it taps on the cursor's location).
I'm not sure which setting (if any) can calibrate the touchscreen for small movements. The documentation is a little unclear (I only found this: https://source.android.com/devices/input/touch-devices.html ).
Does anyone know more about this configuration file? I believe it's a common issue for all the shield tablets, it would be great if we were able to fix this.
Please note that root is required to edit that file, of course. Plus, the /system partition needs to be writable (mount -o rw,remount /system).
Same issue on new k1
Same issue on K1
I purchased an new K1 today and am experiencing the same issue. After enabling "show touches" in developer options it is very clear that the display periodically becomes unresponsive. I have also tried to re-calibrate the display with the Sensor Calibration Utility with no change. This happens while NOT connected to a power supply. So, I'm not sure what else to try.
What have others done about this issue? Do you return the device to the reseller? Because as it is, I can't play most games and find a typical browsing experience annoying.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
After trying everything, including full wipe, different Rom etc, I have returned it to the reseller. I got another one and and am very happy with it. Turning screen off and back on gets the responsiveness back for a while. Good luck with swapping it for new one, reseller I dealt with made no issue of it.As I have restored tablet to factory settings,I have just shown a video of a tablet going all crazy to a guy at the counter, and he gave me a new one.

Thanks. I appreciate you sharing your experience on this. I got it from Amazon, so I hope they are cool with it.

Lenovo A7010 (Vibe, X3 Lite) Gyroscope / Accelerometer Issues

Hey guys, I recently bought this Lenovo Vibe A7010 phone. I'm really liking it, but noticed that the Gyroscope and Accelerometer are not working properly.
I'm not sure if it's a software/rom issue, since I updated the phone immediately after getting it, or hardware. If it's hardware I'll take it to tech support to repairs.
Thing is, I've seem some people around complaining about the issue and talking that it might be a bug from the newest updates...
What happens is that gyroscope/accelerometer are always tilting towards one direction (to the right and randomly down and left in my case): 360ยบ Youtube videos are unwatchable. Google maps accuses me of spinning around in my position.
I was eager to test the Google Cardboard with this, but it seems like it will be impossible.
I entered Engineer menu through a code and there is a calibration option, but it doesn't work properly. It makes some adjustments but nothing changes.
There's another menu that is accessible through a reboot with power+volUp, but it all in chinese.
Here are some pics and videos of the bugged sensors:

Do you guys think it's software, or should I just take it to the store and ask for another?
