Nexus S Accelerometer Problem - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all, I've been following these forums here for a while but decided to register today because I've encountered a problem with my new ROM on my NS.
Naimely I installed this rom to test JB and everything is working really fine, until i noticed that my accelerometer doesn't . Didn't see it mentioned anywhere nor anyone with similar problem.
I understand that its a nightly build and far from perfect, but I just want to know if there is any way to fix this because i really like this rom its one of the fastest/smoothest i ever had, so if I could fix this acc issue it would be great.
So basically acc doesn't respond at all in any app, I went and toggled auto-rotate in settings but nothing happens, i downloaded an app that's supposed to monitor accelerometer motion and stuff but it register 0 anything. Another maybe important note is that I'm running AIR kernel 3.0.40 on it and that it is NS not 4G.

Virtuous Inquisition Problems

I have two problems with this and was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it.
The first is with the stock browser. It just wont work. When I launch it, it crashes immediately.
The second one is with the lock screen camera. It says it was fixed in a previous version on the main page, but I'm still having the problem. Basically, when I slide it over to the camera, it works like the normal lock, no camera function at all.

Ok, that seemed to get the browser to work! Thank you.
The camera works as well, but only if I don't use face lock. Pattern lock and slide lock work fine with it, face lock don't.
hmm it could be a known ics bug which would be in ics fixes or you could try reporting it to the developer on the rom thread i personaly dont use the face unlock so i havnt encountered that problem
Sadly, I'm a noob here and I can't post to the ROM thread. I don't use the camera all that much, so it's no biggie. Hopefully someone else mentions it or maybe it's a known bug.
The browser thing was bothering me though. Thanks for the help with that.
I was having the browser problem too, but resetting permissions and clearing the cache in the apps menu seemed to fix it.
All of my problems are with mobile internet (Wi-Fi is fine). I don't seem to get as good a connection as on my stock rom, and YouTube refuses to play over 3g (connection to server lost); does anyone know how I could improve this?
Speaking of problems with VI, I flashed it a couple days ago and I've ran into two problems:
1. I can't connect to the wifi hotspot anymore. My computer can connect to the network, but it wouldn't be assigned an IP address so I can't browse the net.
2. Juicedefender crashes the phone whenever it boots.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'd be eternally grateful!
one suggestion is to uninstall jd

Non-Sense rom GPS fix [Evo Style]

I was helping my brother trouble shoot his Inspire's inability to get a GPS fix when using MIUI. He told me he had tried all the driver swaps and other methods that are commonly prescribed, and that nothing had worked. However, in CM7 and sense based ROMs the GPS worked fine.
In EVO circles, this is a common problem on MIUI as well. The work around that has been developed is as follows:
1) Install a [near]stock ROM. Anything sense based should work.
2) Turn on the GPS radio
3) Leave it on, and reflash your favorite ROM (MIUI/CM7/etc)
That should fix it. It worked great on his phone, and he is happily navigating in MIUI with full accuracy and a very short acquisition time.
Enjoy!
sounds more like it was a bad flash or bad agps data left behind. but then i dont use miui. There is a bit more involved with the 'evo gps fix' and you havent done any of that. I havent seen any problems thus far with gps that wasnt fixed with the proper methods for cm. miui has its own set of problems and isnt really supported here.

Well this was the method that worked for his phone, after all the other inspire fixes had failed. He'd flashed, cleared, reflashed, MIUI (various releases) and continued to have the same GPS problem. I figured I'd share in case anyone else was in a similar boat.

Compass not working with Google Maps

Has anyone also Problems with the inbuilt Compass of the One? Lately I wanted to use Google Maps while walking and discovered the Compass is working within Google Maps. So i tried a few other Compass Apps, where some do work and others dont.
I did create a Issue on this, but it seems I'm the only one with this Issue so far: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-731
Im on stock CM11S, so it cant be any Mod / Custom Rom / Kernel Problems.

Compass issue related to encryption
Hi,
I have the exact same problem. At first, I thought it might be a hardware defect, but that isn't the case.
Is you phone encrypted?
As bizarre as it sounds, it seems like the compass stops working as soon as the phone is encrypted. I did a factory reset - compass started working again. Encrypted phone again - compass no longer working.
Daniel, if your phone is encrypted as well, please update the jira ticket - it will help the developers reproduce / fix the issue.
Bye,
Till
Same problem here, but not encrypted
My Phone is encrypted NOW, but I really dont know if it was back when I encoutered that the Compass does not work with Google Maps.
I will try to Factory Reset if Ive got the Time and see if this does something to Google Maps. I wanted to try CM11 (without S) anyway.
Prior to encryption, my compass was just way off. Generally around 25 degrees counter clockwise. Now that the phone is encrypted, the compass doesn't work at all.
Anyone know if these issues are present on the "Vanilla" CM11 snapshot and/or nightly roms direct download from the CM site?

According to the Jira Ticket, this also does not work on CM11 nightlys.
Compass was always broken even on Nexus 5. I was hoping it would be fixed in 1+1 and so many Google Maps updates and yet this is still an issue.
It doesnt even work on N5 when encryption is enabled? really?

Thats weird. but I dont see the connection to the OPO then, Compass is fine when Phone is not encrypted.
My compass works but it's just way off lol
//edit
Actually I just tried it now since maps got updates recently and now it's kinda right and isn't off by much
Phone isn't encrypted
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
cm11 night 20150105 ,not encrypted.
Compass only worked in notification drawer widget,all other apps didn't work.
My compass was 90 degrees off in Google Maps earlier today. It was 180 degrees off a couple weeks ago too. What causes this?
Same problems here. Anyone an idea?
Compass works on my end but the orientation is off 90 degrees in CM11 I believe. It really throws off walking directions but driving seems ok
try this. download GPS Status & Toolbox @ playstore. calibrate the compass, like here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rak2xhnk0qE
couldn't test it myself yet.

[Q] WiFi and BT Issues with Peregrine Carbon-ROM

Hi, i was happy seeing that the dev of the CM/Carbon/Slim-Roms didn't just stop but moved from the old original shabbypenguin-thread to xda
the latest Carbon-Build ( CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140825-0209-peregrine.zip ) finally works for the most part on my side, pretty happy with that.
unfortunately 2 things aren't and i wanted to see if anyone else has this issues or has some idea to solve them
first one is, that WiFi won't connect to all networks - at home on a netgear-repeater everything is fine - in the office it won't connect to D-Link and TP-Link routers.
the other, more troubling issue is that bluetooth isn't working as it should - as long as no device is connected, everything is fine, but as soon as it connects to my car-system (MB C-Class w204 without command if that makes any difference ) the bluetooth-process stops, reconnects, stops again and so on...with my laptop everything seems to be working fine and i think the first drive after coupling also worked fine - any idea what can be the cause of this? never had this kind of problem before, be it stock or older unofficial CM-Builds etc...
i'm refering to this thread btw: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-carbonrom-kitkat-t2847887

*push* nobody got any ideas? i would post it in the appropriate thread (especially since this rom is still only nightly) as a potential bug report, but as a new user i'm not able to :/
just another push...somebody must have any idea on what i can try to either solve or at least track down the cause of the issue(s)
sure enough, the BT-issue is worse..
tried the newest build (dirty update and after that clean flash), but still no luck

The WiFi bug is a known issue since early August. It affects almost every Moto device (G, G 4G, X and defy?) it's reported several times to CM-s bug tracking system, but nobody cares... You can use custom kernels. Maybe they aren't affected.
I don't know anything about the BT bug.
i found some posts about people having the same kind of wifi-issue, but it is good to know, that the devs are aware and - kind of - working on it
the BT-thingy is driving me insane though...fiddled around a bit, stopping BT-Related processes etc...this somehow did something...my phone now connects and stays connected, i can make phone calls...but the contact list is incomplete - only 3 random contacts are displayed on the car system
haven't rebooted since then, i kind of fear that rebooting will bring back the issue :/
BT still working after reboot, so it seems my "fix" is permanent...must have something to do with deleting the BT-data/cache while process was killed i would think - in case someone else also encounters this problem
still can't acces all my contacts from Car-system though :/
Most nights roms have a lot of issues and it is pretty hard to stay aware all of bugs. Why don't you try something more stable like Pac Man RC or some. Sometimes a different kernel will help sometimes it's the opposite.
Well, i'd rather use a stable version for sure...
sadly, i didn't know about falcon<->peregrine, so i thought i can use all the Moto G roms with my xt1039...
and to this date there are no stable roms for peregrine that i am aware of - an old unofficial CM-Build worked pretty good for me, but CM unfortunatley doesn't offer all the features i want - carbon covers pretty much most of it, so i'm hoping that it will be "bugfree" soon enough ^^

All AOSP rom uses the CM device tree and kernel as a base, so the low level kernel bugs are the same.. Also the last "stable" CM for falcon is dated back to April, so you didn't lose anything with peregrine...
Just in case anyone encounters the same Issues:
with CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140922-0414-peregrine the BT-Problems seem to be resolved, connection works and the contacts are accessible from the car.
WiFi still has problems with dhcp, but as stated, devs are aware of that :good:
bad news: flashed to CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20141103-0939-peregrine and the BT-issue is back as in the beginning - com.andoird.bluetooth stops working - but only following the first connect -.-
interestingly going back to my pre-flash-backup didn't resolve the issue (doesn't matter if i just restore or wipe prior to that...but after flashing/restoring the first connect works perfectly)...perhaps that leads to some ideas about the cause?
was just trying to get it to work like the other time by stopping/deleting data of com.andoird.bluetooth, but didn't work this time
ok, figured it out again, this time i'll post my steps in case anyone ever encounters similar issues (and for my future reference in case i encounter them again, too )
1) unpair
2)switch off bluetooth
3) stop com.android.bluetooth in "apps"
4) delete data of com.android.bluetooth
5) reboot
6) pair
7) unpair
8) delete data of com.android.bluetooth
9) pair
10) reboot
at least these are the steps i did and it seems to be working now, again

OPO Maps Navigation Issue!

Hi folks, I have been facing a bit of an issue in using Navigation on Maps. I have reason to believe this is happening in mostly OPO devices ONLY! A friend who also owns a OPO reported similar issue. While using Maps Navigation I have noticed that the pointer doesn't move along or update as I proceed in a given route. This is happening even when GPS is ON and set to High Accuracy and proper data coverage. I would like to know if anyone faced or is facing this issue? What is the solution? Thanks.
COS: 12.0-YNG1TAS2I3
Android: 5.0.2
Google Maps: 9.14.0
i have the same issue. the little blue pointer doesn't follow you and after awhile, it says gps signal lost. however, it still give you a turn by turn if you touch the bottom part. I really need this to work because of my job need. anyone have a fix for this? I think this only happen after the newest update about a week ago
I don't think that this is related to the One Plus One specifically. It is happening on at least 2 or 3 different devices that I have tested it on.
Does anyone have the apk for the previous version of google maps so that we can re-test?
Edit ..... Try this one and see if it sorts out your issue.
