I have had issues with both my G-Sensor & volume of quite a while. Rebooting my TF always fixed the problem. Again last night it happened when I tried play Asphalt 7 I couldn't steer the car. Rebooted & everything was fine. This afternoon it appears that rebooting no longer works & with screen rotation on my screen will not rotate either. I wipe my tablet & that didn't do anything. It looks like to be the G-sensor is hosed.
I running stock ICS but my TF is root. Any thoughts?
Did you try other apps/games that use it? Do they have the same issues? Maybe it's a game update gone bad?

Its not the games. My screen will not even rotate. GPS status uses the G-Sensor for the compass & it does nothing. Like I said, I wiped it back to factory & that had no effect. Now as I am writhing this it miraculously started working again which has me scared. so now I am really baffled.

I have a problem. My wife uses screebl on her NS4G and for some reason it's not working now. What screebl does is it detects if the device is laying flat or being held vertically.
I used a sensor monitor app to see what's up. It appears the gyroscope isn't working. The compass isn't working either but I think that is cause of the gyro.
What's funny is it still goes from portrait / landscape modes ok.
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
She is running BLACK ICE 40.5 matrix kernel.
Ok. I did a full wipe and everything is working again. Don't know what happened but it's fixed now.
just flashed latest KatKiss rom, its very fast, but I cannot seem to get thescreen to rotate. I have auto-rotation turned on, tried on and off, but no luck. Any ideas?
Welcome to the forum!
are you docked? If so, it wont rotate. You must be undocked and it should work just fine. If not, perhaps your accelerometer is broken. Use CPU-Z from the Play Store to look at the feedback from your accelerometers.
Sorry I was away for a while... No not docked...
I ended up installing an App from the store... Acreen Rotation Control and setting it to Auto and now everything works fine. Not sure why I had to do that, but it's working and that is good enough for me.
Thanks.

I'm having the same issue. I "solved" as you did, but it kind you sucks in my opinion. I'm using 4.3 build 020.
I'd suggest uninstalling the app and then getting a logcat (see the how to report link in the KatKiss thread) and send that to Tim to see what is preventing rotation.
Only 2 users out of probably 5k+ users have reported this issue.
for me some apps are just "sideways apps". what can you do? I just use rotation locker for that portrait mode. not sure what else to do. :sly:
Yeah, but mine has been rock solid since flashing and using the Screen Rotation Control app.
mmm...

Got similar behaviour.
Using KatKiss 4.4.2 #23 -- it can rotate the screen, but when I try to lock it in the desired position (using the "quick tile") the tile briefly flashes and the screen gets on landscape mode again.
I see it's not related to the tile, since the same happens if I get to the rotation settings on Android's "Configurations". Tried using a program from Google Play to set it (sorry, can't remember its name) and it didn't work either.
Hoping @timduru may take a look at this...

Thanks, but that's exactly the one I tried -- didn't work unfortunately.
Well, just tried latest version, KK 4.4.2_r2 #024, still no luck.
So here are the three asked logfiles.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
Autorotation is enabled, and I'm using the tablet in landscape mode. Turned it right (ie, counter-clockwise), worked as it should (screen rotated).
Then I opened the "tiles menu" (the one in the right upper corner, below the clock) and pressed the rotation tile.
It briefly changes to the "locked” icon, but turns again to the "normal" one and puts the tablet again in landscape mode!
Interesting enough, the menu remains opened but the icon is seen as the "locked" one.
By the way -- tested undocked.
Many thanks @timduru -- apart that it's an outstanding ROM. Hope to hear you soon. :good:
Update: auto-rotation working as expected on KatKiss 4.4.2 version #026, no additional software needed -- many thanks @timduru!
Hi,
I recently updated my TF101 to KatKiss 6.0.18. Since then, have the same problem with screen not rotating. Tried installing several applications that should rotate, but this does not solve the problem.
Tried also the "dropping the tablet" trick recommended by some on Google, but this also without any success. With the Check Sensor app, values remain to 0. Everything was fine beforehand with KK 4.4.
Any hint ?
Thanks
Hi everybody I am a Skyrocket user. Some days ago I flashed stock android 2.3.5 on my phone via Odin, just to check some performance and old apps. A day later I flashed back JellyBean 4.1.2 stock but I noticed this problem. When I flip my phone to landscape, it rotates quickly and smooth like it always did. But when I flip back to portrait, it stucks in landscape for some seconds before rotating. This is a problem it doesn't always do, sometimes it rotates immediately like it should. I turn auto rotation off as I don't always need it but some apps like camera and youtube still autorotate. I thought it might be a problem with calibration but it didn't help. I'm on stock JellyBean, no rooted.
(If it helps: I was rooted after flashing the firmware and removed some system apps but only AT&T apps like code scanner,mog music etc, and I later unrooted the phone. Tried factory reset also re-flashed the firmware again to see if it might help with the problem but it didn't.)

If you tried odin back to stock, and the problem is still there on complete stock then it's probably time for a new phone unfortunately.
a few tips:
1. make sure you check the MD5 to make sure those files downloaded ok and aren't corrupt.
2. make sure you cable is good & you're using a USB port on the back of your PC
3. Ebay phones. even sold as new might not be new even though they look new. Could be just brand new replacement parts and new packaging, etc.
4. Check Vincom's troubleshooting thread! read the stickies! if you haven't, maybe something you overlooked as well.
screen rotation problem solve easily this trick working on all phones.
Use Spirit level pro software to calibrate your phone. sceen rotation problem is horizontal calibration fault, you solve screen rotation problem eaisly to use this software. Download from play store and download from attachment. Try this..

Hi kristikoroveshi is your issue solved if not pm me i faced same issue
Hi, i've been using the NVIDIA SHIELD K1 since january, and one thing that has always bothered me is that it doesn't recognize my fingers when i tap repeatedly, i play these rhythm games that requiere two or more fingers on screen, and losing because of the tablet not recognizing my fingers is painful, i tried rebooting and a number of stuff i thought could work, but there's no results, it even stops recognizing while i'm holding my finger (moving an app's location, for example).
This wasn't a thing in my previous one, it responded instantly with no stutters regardless of how many fingers i had on the screen, so i don't know what to do.
It's rooted with TWRP, i haven't used any ROM's as i don't feel like i requiere any, settings are always on max performance and i kill all apps that i leave and won't use so everything runs smoother, i also disconnect from internet when playing but it doesn't seem to do anything, can anybody help me with this?
Try doing a screen calibration; that worked for me.

I've tried screen calibrating, but that didn't work. Currently android 7.0 seems to make this less frequent.
Screen calibration worked here too, K1 tablet.
I accidentally found out about it yesterday btw haha
Hi, it appears that recently the gravity sensor in my Nexus 5 stopped working.
At least it is what it seems by using sensor testing apps. And this makes it impossible for the phone to get its orientation (compass is not working).
Screen rotation is still working fine though.
Here is what happened exactly: not long ago I was using Google Maps, but the phone was a bit sluggish so I decided to reboot it.
After rebooting I opened Google Maps again and immediately noticed that the orientation indicator was missing (the blue "beam"), while it was present before the reboot. But I didn't care about it, and just thought that the compass needed re-calibration.
After a few days the orientation indicator was still missing, and the phone never asked me to re-calibrate, as it used to do before instead.
Then one day I launched Google Sky Map, and noticed that the view does not rotate automatically.
So I fired up a sensor test app I had installed (asd.vector.sensor), and no data is displayed for the Gravity sensor. Also orientation is not displayed and the info says that the gravity sensor is used to compute orientation, too.
Other sensors are ok, and as I already wrote screen rotation still works great.
Any clues about this issue? Did anyone ever experience this?
I'm afraid a system restore would not help...
I'm using Resurrection Remix ROM, Android 6.0.1.
Thanks.
If the problem exists on a stock ROM, it could be a hardware fault.

Ok yes, but I still do not know if it exists on a stock ROM.
Taking it the other way around... Do you think there is real possibility that it is a software fault?
I mean: did it ever occur to anyone? Is there really any hope that resetting my phone to stock will fix this?
I HATE having to reset my phone...
Thank you.
I stopped using custom roms a while ago because of minor problems that would suddenly appear.
I don't think there is a way to really tell if it is software or hardware unless you reset or use a stock ROM.

Well, that's a little hope at least.
I will need to find some time to re-stock my Nexus and try.
Thanks .
Ok, I restored the phone to stock and all sensors work again now!
Thanks audit13 for pushing me in that direction .
That's great that it was a software bug in the custom ROM.
Now you get to hunt for a custom ROM that works with a minimal or zero number of issues
