[Q] Auto Orientation Problem w/ Provision ROM - Nexus S 4G - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got the latest Provision[JellyVision] ROM from Team D.I.R.T last night and it was lovely; smooth, fast, feature filled.
I went from stock and the difference was night and day (Google Now opens up like its nothing in this ROM, something that used to irk me w/ stock) Just as I finished up setting up the phone and was laying back for a nice continuation of the GOT on my Kindle app, I discovered an unfortunate bug....there was no auto-orientation! I couldn't pull my phone out of portrait mode...all the settings were enabled/disabled, the phone was restarted/put-in-all-sorts-of-awkward-angles and I finally just gave up and installed the latest Cyanogenmod nightly; I used it for a full day and felt like I went to back to a hoopty from a Benz.
Now I want to go back, I'm thinking of just figuring out how to get Kindle into landscape mode without the accelerometer and enjoying the Provision goodness while looking for a fix for the auto-rotation. Any suggestions/fixes?
I checked the development thread and there is one other person who has a similar problem, and the developer (evol4g) is aware of it but does not really utilize auto-rotation like that. I also would post on that thread but I'm a virgin poster and I can't play mess w/ the big developers yet, so I came here. I'm new to posting, so please be nice.

i feel ya.. that rom is so sick! i have the same problem... had to wipe/reset and go with my miui backup till the problem is solved!

Try this: download sensor display app from Market(it has pink icon). Open it and press gyroscope, than go back and press accelerometer. See if there are some numbers on right indicating that sensor is working. I have accelerometer problems with cna, rasbean, sometimes it just stops working, and it comes back again after a while. So when its not working i open that app, press gyroscope(because that is working all the time), go back, press accelerometer and numbers shows there, so gyroscope triggers accelerometer sensor somehow and its working then.

That method did not work for me, gyroscope seems fine but accelerometer is completely blank.

I think it's a bug with the ROM. In the time being, you can force one orientation with Rotation Locker.
I mapped the rotation locker action to the long press search key, when I press it it pops up and shows the dialog. Then I can longpress Landscape (it runs a service when long pressing to make sure it doesn't get killed by Android) and it locks it there no matter what.
It's a bit of an annoying work around, but for the time being until it gets fixed, that might help you.

That's an awesome temporary fix! Thank you. This should hold me over until a proper fix (or a better ROM) comes my way.

[Q] How to calibration the accelerometer..?

My TF101 the sensor not balance , how to fix the problem..?
I've got the same issue and there s no way to calibrate the sensor !!!
I tried to hard reset the device : no joy
I tried calibrating with gps status, it only works in gps status, in all other applications, sensor is faulty !!!!
Same here! Don't know if this is since the 3.1 update (updated after 1 hour ownership of the TF )
I am experiencing the same issue...It's super sensitive.
Issue was there before update as well...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
It also feels a little too sensitive indeed, but the biggest problem is the calibration:

I had mine changed today, it's far better but still choppy and inaccurate.
I would say on 3 degrees discrepancy, instead of 10 degrees on the previous one
Look at the first one :
In every case our g sensors are responding well, it's just a matter of calibration, I hope ASUS will releanse soon a calibration tool. Or maybe someone else.....
Is there a place where we can post some suggestions to ASUS ?
The calibration is done the same way for every android device, wave it in a figure 8 on the x axis, this will calibrate both the compas and the accelerometer.
I have contacted Asus, and the issue, including a link to this topic, is being forwarded to the Asus HQ. Currently there is no calibration tool available. I hope Asus can fix the issue soon.
As stated, calibration using the app GPS status don't have any effect on the tf (maybe not honeycomb compatible for altering sensor values?).

I too think mine is off by about 3 degrees.
Interested parties can grab the MyBeer live wallpaper here.
thankfully that's one weird thing mine doesn't do...3.1 here also.
I had this same problem with my phone. The solution was to spin it rapidly several times on all three axes. Worked like a charm.
Unfortunately, this is a lot easier with a phone than a 10" tablet ...
I wrote ASUS about it and they answered there was a calibration option in the Display parameters menu.
Thts where it s supposed to be i agree, but it s not there.
They don t even know their product.
They don t even check before answering, we re not blind.....if we say it s not ther, that's because it's not there.
I found the solution : i returned mine back to the store and had one well calibrated now. not perfectly but that's far better.
I suggest you all do the same and maybe then, they will check and notice the option is not here !!!
Once rooted with Prime or another rom, is it possible to calibrate the accelerometer with the "sensorcalibutil_yamaha" command, as mine seems to have a slight problem as well ?
I tried on my root TF and it doesn't work.
the calibration file accessible is "sensors-config" but I failed to run it in order to calibrate the tablet
Mine is fine. But for some games and apps it's off.
@ThaiM : the animated wallpaper with the ice is also perfectly horizontal for you ?

I'm using the Lochness Monster one. Yes, docked on my desktop, it's perfectly level. Only in some games and apps do I notice that it may be off. But I think that's because of the angle of the device I have it on while I start that program.
Maybe try that?
Make sure you're level, and reboot. Let me know! Maybe it calibrates on startup?
Good idea, but I rebooted in a perfect horizontal position and the problem is still there.
I sent my tf to Asus RMA, due to left speaker problem and accelerometer. The status was 'waiting' for some time and asked what it was waiting for. Asus told me that it was currently waiting for a new speaker AND accelerometer. Unlikely, but maybe this is also a HW issue
DHL is now under its way, hope to see a perfectly working tf with calibrated accelerometer tonight
...
I have the same problem, and there is about 10 degrees rotation in accelerator, I hope that the developer solve it as soon as it is possible, it takes too much time if we wait for Asus supports!

I haven't tried it on the xt531. But I do know that the Galaxy S3, Nexus 4, HTC myTouch 4g, and HTC evo will work perfectly.
Why don't just give it a try and let me know? The app does not require any internet/location permissions like other apps.
Works great for me. Sensor in off is pretty cool.

Tryed it again, still not working for me. Tryed several combinations and aint working. But the sensor is working just fine in your settings menu.

Nice app and you made it to the first page of XDA gratz!
anyway is there also an option to decrease the light of the flashlight it self? The default HTC one has 3 options of brithness but I want an app where you can mod the light brithness itself completly costum (I've a dual led and it's waaaayy too bright at night)
thanks for this handy app
ur video was gr8....
Feedback
On nexus 4 the shake on feature makes it feel like a real battery operated flashlight in that it turns off if you shake it slightly too. There should be a minimum on length when shaken and possibly a setting allowing you to define that. I like it though good job.
Any chance to use the screen of the phone as the flashlight? That way it can sit on the fatboy pillow and charge and can be used as a night light for my daughter.

o noes.....i clicked on the "Don't Click Me" button
hi
working good on galaxy s3 4.2.2
Doesn't seem to work very well on Xperia Z.
Double clicking the Turn on button in the middle creates a FC.
Shake doesn't work with Stamina (expected though)
Had to reboot after turning off stamina to make it work aswell, Shook my phone like 5 times to get it to work.
But this looks great. Looking forward for future updates.
Wow! that's cool! Thanks!
Looks cool, will have to try it out.
It works great, except: 1) the Report Bug button was half hidden on my LG Optimus Vu 2 1024 x 768 screen, 2) not responding to the back button to exit.
Works on my Evo LTE except for the auto function.
I appreciate the feedback and thank you for everyone who downloaded my app. I'm working on bug fixes. Expect updates in the near future

Your phone need to be rooted because Android restricts Apps with "WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" in their manifest.
This App is, of course, free, open-source, GPL-V3, without any ads! I've made everything: Material Icons based on Google Guidelines, Developement, website, packaging.
It's for you! Eh, after all, you gave me LineageOS on my old Sony Xperia SP

Finally I found this (on F-Droid), thanks!
Do you know if it works on Pie?
(I always depended on Xposed + Airplane Mode Helper + Timeriffic.
But I want to use Pie, which doesn't have Xposed.
Forgive me, I can of course try myself, but that takes hours if unsuccessful.)
Minor feature requests (idk if you still care/maintain, but you asked, so there):
- Be able to set times while toggle is set on Disabled
- When changing time, preset time chooser to current setting, instead of always 23h/8h

Thanks for testing!
Actually, your comment has motivated me to rework on this App. I switched from unlocked Xperia to locked Galaxy S7. It was very complicated but I successfully managed to be root again. I will rework on the UI, and make it close to Google Calendar (week view).
I've found an open source library which does that, so it will be easy to set offline periods.
My pleasure, thanks for listening!
Yes, it works fine on Galaxy S4 Mini LTE + AospExtended 4.6 (Nougat).
As you are still interested in feedback:
Personally I really don't care about this, but it doesn't trigger exactly on time, maybe only during Doze mode "maintenance windows" every 9 minutes. I already disabled Battery optimization for it.
Maybe most people (like me) already use other schedule/profile apps that have plenty features, so they don't search for alternatives.
But afaik, they all need Xposed + Airplane Mode Helper.
So maybe your app gets more popular, as long as your app does work on Pie, and Xposed does not.
Thanks for this app! I just discovered it recently and so far it does exactly what it is supposed to do: Automatically send the phone to airplane mode during the night and wake it up in the morning.
If you could as you mentioned add some form of a calendar view to the app then one could use the app much more individually (e.g. use different times on the weekend). That would be a great improvement!
Moreover, I would like to also add another feature request:
Would it be possible to enable/disable airplane mode only partially. For instance only switch off mobile connections while leaving Wifi turned on or the other way around?
Please keep up the good work :good:
Thanks for this app!Yes, it works fine on LG G5 .
It turns airplane mode on, but turning off isn't working. Android 10, Redmi Note 4, crdroid 6.11.
Update: on the 5th try it turned off. Really strange.
At least most of the time it works perfect on Android 9 (S4 Mini i9195, lineage-16.0-20200515).
I let it switch automatically, and rarely change settings or otherwise interfere.
I vaguely remember some failure, I might have rebooted or cleared cache in the past to solve it.
But that is so rare, that I can't remember exactly.

General OneUI 4.1 march broke accessibility

I use an accessibility app from here that allows long press volume up + down to activate and deactivate flashlight. Worked fine even screen off no aod on OneUI 4.0 Feb but after updating to 4.1 it barely works and only with screen on.
So, I decided to test other stuff and yeah it completely broke accessibility.
The touch and hold delay setting does nothing, it always takes like 2-3 seconds for anything to activate even when set to very short 0.3s, no longer works screen off at all.. GG Samsung..
Lol, my one N10+ is still happily running on Pie.
Upgrades and updates can and do break things.
It's a Samsung tradition... Samsung will eventually patch it.
Try clearing the system cache as that may correct it.

Clearing cache didn't help but thanks for the tip. And thanks Samsung for not allowing us to access recovery without the usb-c plugged in.
It doesn't work on aod either. Only when fully waking the device. I wonder if this is intended behavior or just a huge bug.
Can anyone else on a S21/+/Ultra with march 4.1 test accessibility shortcuts on screen off state?

Your welcome.
Try in safe mode to rule out a 3rd party app interference.
Try clearing the data in the accessibility apk.
Turn off Developer options temporarily.
Play with it, there's probably a fix or work around.

Did that, no difference. I did figure out what Samsung did actually.
They changed it so that long press volume up + down is 3 seconds and ignores the long press delay setting completely. And it also no longer works screen off while it used to work fine.
They also changed auto rotate sensitivity which makes it rotate with the slightest motion which is annoying as hell when reading something I'm bed for example as it constantly rotates..
Rolling back to Feb 4.0...
Do you have com.samsung.SMT disabled or removed?

This is one reason why I almost never upgrade or update. I don't like rude surprises.
Still running on Android 9 and 10; if it runs well I leave it be.
Funny what you say about the display flipping too easy; I get tired of waiting for it to transition.
They should have user settings for that by now.
Wonder if there's a 3rd party app to dial that in?

Añd boom the touch was normal
But i don't know it will stuck again or not

I did'nt believe it would do the trick, but it seams it did =) 1hour intensive use with a lot of cpu/gpu/ram load, not a single hang.

New update, arrowOS has a function which let's you turn off the phone and if you turn it on again fast enough it doesn't asks you for the password, its also fast enough that its almost unnoticeable, for gaming it wouldn't work but for day to day use its great, and let's be honest this phone was never meant to be used gaming anyway.
I also tried rooting and using magisk to install the magisk module of touchscreen by weareravens, I did notice an improvement, but its definitely still there, I think that's it folks, annoying but unsolvable.
I highly recommend installing ArrowOS its infinitely better, you do lose a couple functions like WiFi hotspot, and google drive access from applications( although I'm 70% sure I installed Gapps wrong) and the ability to use some of the banking apps ( I may have lost this when I rooted, I didn't check before and I think I could use them if I really wanted). It may sound like a lot, but honestly those are all the critics I can give, everything else is better on ArrowOS.
I have found a solution that has worked better than any other thing, you need root acces.
Touchscreen Issues
Hi Guys; I recently got my new 2nd Generation Moto G but after setting it up and using it for 20 minutes or so I noticed that sometimes while scrolling through settings, contacts and webpages, that when i am swiping over a horizontal band in the...
forum.xda-developers.com
Iheve tested it just for a couple hours but my issue happened when the phone was overworking itself and I have tried to force this issue for a while and nothing, the touchscreen is still working flawlessly, Ill try to update you all on if it worked or not
This problem is because this device is low budget and not for performance
