Try this. Menu, settings, display. Is there a check-box for auto-rotation?

I haven't had Sense in a while, but look for G-Sensor calibration in settings and do it. Reboot afterward.

Sometimes it just may need a restart to fix the auto-rotation. Reboot should fix it.

Sounds like you have a broken accelometer or its on its way going out. I had same problem g sensor won't calibrated at all now says abort everytime restarts do nothing.
I can't do anything that requires accelometer/g sensor and sounds like you have same problem.
Sorry man .
Reset your phone to default settings there's a great download in inspire development that will revert everything for you the call HTC and they will fix it for free as long as you restore everything to stock froyo or gb ruu. And you havnt tampered with anything etc etc .
HTC said 6-9 days for my phone to get fixed and back to me

Front camera ics

Is it right for the front camera to not work using an ics rom?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

who said that? its working just fine but there is an issue, videocalls in skype are green regardless of camera chosen

If the quality is bad, check for dust. My front facing camera will degrade 40ish% (literally) after a week cause of dust build up.

Is won't work at all in camera mode, I don't no why it must just be mine. It hasn't worked with various roms. Should I re install the firmware? I don't really use it but its annoying to no it won't work, thanks

I don't have that issue, Skype with video calling works just fine for me. Maybe it is simply an unresolved bug on OP's ROM if he is rooted?

ICS Sense ROMS, specifically. I think AOSP ROMs don't have that problem.
OP, what do you mean by "not work"?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA

I mean not work as in neither using camera or Skype etc. I have used sense roms and aosp. Currently I'm using dan sharpys stripped rom. But like I say it won't work in any rom. When I select it in camera I don't get any errors etc I just get a black screen, I have made sure its clean. Any help would be great!

Actually now, if I switch to it, it causes my phone to reboot?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium

In that case it could be a hardware problem. I've read about a few people having this problem (black front camera screen on a few ROMs and the camera app freezing) but there seems to be no concrete solution for it.

I'm having this problem too. Ever since I upgraded to ICS OTA my front camera has not worked in any application and usually causes the phone to freeze then reboot.

Glad I'm not the only one, just like worldofglass it happened when i upgraded to ics

Hi, i am also having that problem. Yesterday I noticed that my front camera won't work at all. This morning was working just fine, but I was in my car when I tried it, so I just tried it once. Few hours later it won't work again. Once when I tried to turn it on, phone restarted (but just once)... I can se settings, effects and all other buttons on screen, but everything other on screen is black. I have official ICS, and sense 3.6.
Please if anyone solve this problem or find out it's nature (hardware or software) let us others know.
Thnx!

Any answers for this? Habe tried various roms and even re flashing firm ware but still no front camera. My phone just freezes and force closes any app using the camera. Any help appreciated.

So it doesn't look like anyone's found a fix for this?
Like cartermg120, I've tried numerous ROMs (ARHD, LeeDroid, Elegance + CM 9 nightly) and re-flashed the firmware from HERE. Nothing has fixed it.
I'm wondering if anyone has tried to flash the latest official RUU (HERE)?
I suppose that would be a good way to check whether it's a H/W or S/W problem and if H/W, the phone could be returned for a warranty repair...

Front facing camera.
Me too, front facing camera has never worked since the ICS OTA update. Any suggestions?

Take off back cover take a cloth and clean where the front camera is? And OP sounds like a hardware issue more then anything else..

Install the latest OPEN GL DRIVER for ADRENO. It solved my green video issue.

I have that issue as well. I have been using Virtuous Inquisition rom and when selecting front camera on any app that uses capture, screen goes black. I can continue using the phone except the camera will not work, front or back. I have to reboot in order to be able to use the back camera.

I expect this has been tried, but when I installed cm9 my camera kept playing up, front and back. I wiped data and cache in camera apk, booted to recovery, fixed permissions wiped cache partition and dalvik cache. After a long reboot my camera worked fine. Worth a go if nothing else.

Gizmoe's Stock Root v2 camera question

My camera makes a subtle "click" now when I open or close it, regardless of which camera app I'm using. Any idea what's causing that, or if it's dangerous in any way?

Do you know if it's coming from the speaker or the camera hardware. I don't hear a click on my phone so it could be the hardware itself coming lose. I turned on sound feedback to see if it clicked when opened and no sound either. Not sure what it could be. But if the camera is failing the worse that will happen is you will no longer have a camera. It's not dangerous in anyway I know of.

It doesn't do it on your vanilla stock, revolution hd, or cyanogen. As a matter of fact, after a restore, I just checked it, and it isn't doing it anymore. Weird. Maybe been a random glitch. I had to reboot several times to get the lock screen shortcuts you work. Not sure what was up with that.

Its not the Rom. It's your phone. Don't know what to tell ya.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app

If it were my phone, wouldn't it be doing it on other ROMs (it doesn't do it on your rooted stock)? And it's not coming from the speaker: I've isolated the click to the actual camera. Is there a way to remove or disable the camera upgrade and see if that's what my phone doesn't like here? Otherwise, the ROM is perfect. My fave so far: revolution 7.0.4 just doesn't "feel" as solid to me.

That's the thing there is nothing that I did to the camera. It's complete stock and your the only person out of over 500 downloads that has mentioned this. If it was an issue then I would be getting more than one report. I also am using the same version and hear no click. The only thing that may be the cause is the kernel I am using but I don't see how. If you want, flash the bd ace kernel and see if it still happens. It could be a combo of a failing camera and the kernel I'm using. I don't think your crazy I just think there is something unique happening here. Wish I could be more help but without the device in my hand I can only make guesses.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app

I'm gonna try redownloading your ROM, checking the md5 (is that necessary or just on radios?), in case I got a corrupted download first. Your work is awesome, believe me. I really like this ROM. I just noticed that click noise, but the camera works fine. If that doesn't work, I'll try the kernel you mentioned next. If all else fails, I'll take it down to vanilla stock. Thanks so much for your trouble.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app

Ok, so nothing made a difference. It only makes the noise about 50% of the time. I googled it, and could only find a couple of Android Central posts about the same problem. You're 100% right: IT ISN'T THE ROM. Mine now does it in stock too. However, the others who posted it happening stated it was either "normal" or "it isn't hurting anything. Camera works fine months later." That gives me relief. Sounds like it's probably just old age. Some moving part getting crusty or something. Cool. Thanks for your input, giz.

Proximity sensor issues?

OK so I've been using bruce2728s CM X for some time now. I love how smooth it runs, however the proximity sensor is glitchy in the current ( 10/15) build. I know its not hardware related because I restored to an ARHD back up I had and the sensor works like a champ.
Now when I say its glitchy if I make a call and don't get someone to answer I lose any screen functionality. Just black and unresponsive. If they do pick up I only get my screen back once they disconnect from the call.
I have done multiple downloads, multiple installs, and full wipe installs. Nothing I can think of has fixed it. I got no help in the ROM thread so thought I'd try the Q&A section. Just looking to get the sensor working. Please help.

The proximity sensor is not done yet its very buggy. Try ViperS rom, it works fine

Camera Issues

So my camera no longer works on my phone for some reason. It either goes to a black screen, a grey screen, says cant connect to camera, or says gallery stopped responding or it has a really fuzzy and oddly colored picture and then freezes. Also, the gallery is extremely laggy and force closes at times as well. This has happened to me on AOKP, Viper, Cleanrom, and Dirty rom (Nocturnal). One time I was able to switch it to front facing camera, which seems to work ok.
Does anyone have any ideas what this could be or how to fix?

On stock/locked HOXL, I had gallery stop on me occassionally; but when I would try gallery again, it would let me in. Can't say I had the other troubles though. So far on ViperXL, haven't had any issues yet

Yeah. Usually easy fixes tho. Already wiped cache and reflashed cleanly. So Idk what the deal is. My fear is it is hardware related.
