G-Sensor Bugged?

Hi, first time poster! Anyways I recently acquired the HTC Fuze which is my first Windows mobile phone and everyhting semmed to by working fine until today. Now whenever I enter any games, the camera, or any program that requires the G-sensor it always assumes I am in landscape mode and I am unable to move to portrait mode even when the phone is fully up right.
The sensor still seems to work, but only in landscape mode. I have applied several tweaks and added several applications, but none that were anything major and none that have to do with the G-sensor (at least I think). I have also tried calibrating it several times and the every seems to work right it just won't leave landscae mode. Anyways, is there any way I can fix this without a hard reset (trying to avoid)? Also my phone is still under the ATT 30 day return policy so should I just return it and get a new one?
Thanks to anyone that can help!

does the calibration tool give any feedback?
are you sure your taking the pictures rightside up w/ the camera?
some games require u to flip out the keyboard for landscape or portriate mode, have u tried toggling the keyboard?

Yes, the calibration tool seems to work fine.

Also about the keyboard,yes I have tried that and it seems to work for some applications, but some applications stay in one mode regardless of whether I have it flipped up, down, right, left, or with the keyboard out.

Okay. it now works again, but the when I want to take a picture it is in landscape mode still. I can take a picture in portrait mode, but all the photo adjustment modes (when you tap the screen) are still in landscape, but I think I might know what caused that. I made of few adjustments to the registry to get some more camera modes and i think that might have caused it. Also, why do American cellphone carriers have to stifle innovation by removing the front camera?
Thanks for your advice Orbitrix.

G-sensor only works sometimes
Usually, the G-sensor does not rotate the phone when it is supposed to in various apps-like photos. I have tried adjusting the timing in Advanced Config and using the calibration tool. Sometimes it works perfectly, but usually, nothing happens. This is VERY frustrating!!!
Anyone have any other fixes?
Rom version: 1.90.707.4 WWE
Rom date: 8/23/08
Radio version: 1.02.25.19
Protocol version: 52.33.25.17U

Some progress??
I just noticed, that if I open the Pictures/Video program, so it brings up the screen of thumbnails, then open a photo from there, the G-Sensor doesn't work when I tilt the TP. However, if I scroll through the photos in the TF3D interface, then select a photo from there, the tilt works very quickly. (I reset interval to 75).

Screen rotation problems on Omnia 2 with NAVIGON after ROM flashing

Hello,
first thanks to all contributors for this helpfull forum.
I bought an SAMSUNG OMNIAII in november (France, from SFR). I installed NAVIGON 7 as navigation programm. Also, i use NavStarter to start NAVIGON in landscape mode. And everything worked fine.
But i was disappointed about the sensitivity of the screen, the speed of the lock screen (...) so i decided to flash a new ROM (IL2). Then, i was really happy with the improvements the new ROM brought, but i discovered that i have now a problem with the screen rotation. When i start NAVIGON with NavStarter and exactly the same parameters as before, it turns to landscape mode, but then i have only 1/3 of the screen. The rest is black.
Does anybody have any idea of what the reason of that problem could be ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
It would be better to modify the orientation to portrait and then check the box above for "System Persistent". It will gray out the orientation but lock it to any orientation you selected. ADW will no longer auto-rotate, but most apps will still auto-rotate to landscape.
I’m sure it will solve the problem.

that too, good call

Screen keeps changing from Landscape to portrait on 4.0 Sense ROMS

I don't know why but on all Sense 4.0 ROMs (like OrDroid 7.1.0 and Insert Coin Evolution 1.3) my screen goes landscape and stays like this. I checked and unchecked the landscape mode in tweaks, I checked and unchecked the screen rotation, and calibrated screen g-sensor, but nothing helped. I did perform full wipe before OrDroid and IC, but it didn't help. I don't have problems on ARHD 6.4.4, please help cause I have no idea what to do ;/ I'm gonna hit thanks button like maniac if someone helps.
HTC Sensation
FW 3.32
Kernel stock/faux/Sebastian/bricked
4EXT
Now I've noticed that the screen goes from Landscape to portrait like mad. It changes just like this. Even if I leave the phone on the table. For example it's portrait, I switch off the screen, then it comes in landscape. I unlock the phone, then it changes portrait to landscape and back like mad :/ what the hell?
The best part is, that when I revert to ARHD 6.4.4 it works flawlessly. I get landscape when I want it.

Does this still happen even after unchecking the Landscape option in tweaks?
And how exactly are you getting landscape mode with ARHD?

I meant that the screen rotates into landscape on ARHD, for example in gallery or internet browser. Yes as I wrote, it happens with landscape mode unchecked in tweaks either from shinz or baad (depends on ROM). It is really frustrating.

Your G Sensor is probably not working properly.
Where are the places you have noticed this?
ie Have you noticed this in a particular application or all apps?
Also, if this is happening with Google Chrome, I'd like to inform you that Chrome is currently not working properly in Ordroid 7.1.0

First after I've flashed OrDroid after Full Wipe there was everything ok. So I went to take a look at the Sense 4.0. I firstly checked the gallery, and when I wanted to edit photo, all the Sense went Landscape. I couldn't change the Landscape to portrait by any chance so I've rebooted the device. After that, the system loaded up, the sense. 4 seconds and bam again. So I thought the ROM is broken and checked InsertCoin after a Full Wipe again. And here were even more problems. I left the phone unattended and it was changing from landscape to portrait by itself. It changed on homescreen,lockscreen everywhere. I'm really pissed off, because it looks really nice. To bad it's unusable on my device. I made device g-sensor calibration, but even when I made it succesfull it went wrong again. Either with landscape mode checked or unchecked. Maybe there is some option I can disable in applications? The ICS brought the option to disable some stuff. I don't know why it happens with landscape mode unchecked in tweaks, and autorotate unchecked in screen options. I'll look for some g-sensor measuring apps in Google Play

To stop the rotation completely, go to Settings>Display>Auto-rotate screen> Off.

SuperCID and try flashing a different firmware. That probably could be causing some problem.

Now that sounds reasonable. I've got stock firmware from stock 4.0.3. Then I've done htcdev unlock and jbear s-off. Now I've flashed OrDroid 7.1.1 (previously was 7.1.0), and I'm waiting for the results. Is there any other firmware than the stock 3.32? Can I flash it while I have OrDroid, or do I have to change firmware,make a Full Wipe and flash OD 7.1.1 again.

no flashing firmware wont touch RM...so after flashing the firmware you can boot to ordroid again and can use it normally
for 3.32 firmware get it from this thread
get the one w.r.t your CID..if you are superCID then get any 3.32

SOLVED works like a charm now. Thanks ! Like I said, I'm gonna hit thanks like a maniac

Problem: Display rotation don´t work

Hello,
i have issues with the Display Rotation.
The Accelerometer don´t work anymore at my phone. Last Week i was wondering that the Display won´t rotate at the Album. Then i checked the Display Settings. Auto Rotate was checked.
at the Service Menu *#*#7378423#*#* the Accelerometer don´t respond. But the Gyroscope work fine.
At this Time i have installed the Concept Software from Sony. Today i´m back home from Holiday i go back to offical Stock Software. But it won´t work also.
Smartrotate on or off are the same...
The last idea is to repair the Software with the PC Companion. Is there an option to calibrate the Accelerometer?

I have the same issues with my D6653 - auto rotation doesn't work (but very rarely it does come back). In service menu the Accelerometer doesn't respond, as well as Proximity switch is off and doesn't work on calls.
This is not a rom-specific problem as I've tried to revert back to stock firmware but alas no changes. It must be some miscommunication between hardware and software.
Any ideas what to do? Can it be related to kernel?

yesterday i've had the same problem i needed to wipe to have the accelerometer back to work

Hi all rather than opening a new thread I am upping this one
On my D6603 screen rotation is very erratic and often not working.
Any idea what I can investigate?
I wander if it could be app/service related of hardware deficiency.
Thanks!

Any luck with this?

I am currently using an EM95X Android Box with a Viewsonic touch screen. The touch screen has been working perfect with the box. My issue is with the rotation ability. Anytime I force the screen into portrait mode the system UI crashes. Unfortunately, I need the monitor view to be vertical. I cannot figure out how to stop it from crashing. I have tried several rotation apps with the same results.
I have went into the build prop to view the rotation texts and the only thing I have found is this:
"Persist.sys.app.rotation=middle_port"
I thought I might be able to find somewhere I can change the rotation, but I have not.
Any suggestions?
