[Q] Auto-rotate function fail - G-sensor calibration aborted

Hi All. The Screen Auto-rotation has failed on my Sensation. Everything is set to allow it in Settings but no joy.I've tried everything [almost] inc Battery Removal, Disabling Flip-over Speakerphone & Live Wallpapers, and calibrating G-sensor but it always says Calibration Aborted. Anyone got any other ideas?

hmm.. maybe there is a hardware fault.. grab the Bubble level app from the market to test: https://market.android.com/details?id=bz.ktk.bubble&feature=search_result

Oh dear. Bubbles not working. That's a hardware fault then?

And how about Elixir2 and its sensor diagnostic utility?

Installed it. Nothing is working, except the microphone.

Hmm... try to re-flash stock ROM (if you have not done this yet). If this does not solve the problem, then the problem is hardware.

Okay. I'm running Bulletproof at the mo.
Where would I find the stock ROM please?
[I got it in August from Vodafone. Don't remember any branding but it did have all the 360.com bloatware.]

Where would I find the stock ROM please?

Thanks. Will report back tomorrow

installed original ROM and it still does not work, so sending it back. Glad it wasn't the Bulletproof ROM's fault! Thanks for your help

G-sensor
Hi. I installed ARHD 5.0.2 on my Sensation 4G. Now auto-rotate doesn't work. It sets screen to horizontal, but it doesn't set screen back to vertical. In other apps sensor works perfect. Calibration didn't help. What should I do?

Help
Hey guys I also got a same problem.
My phone slipped off my hand and fell off and the last time i use it(not rooted), i swear that the g sensor still worked.After that fall, it didn't work, sensor tools didn't detect it help me.

power button broken

hi! after a fall my Desire S have some problems with the power button. Now is still working but I have to push harder every day to unlock the phone!
I thought to remove the original ROM and use something like ICE DS to remap the power button to one of the volume keys. New motherboards for this phone are not cheap and I think this is the better solution. Do you have any suggestions? Is this the better way to solve the problem?

S2w is something I used and it is optional on most if not all current dev ROM. U can basically switch the the phone on or off by swiping from the home softkey to the search key. Install it and experience it for yourself.

thank you, S2w could be interesting. Is it too bad for battery life? I tested a week ago a few programs that unlock the phone using the proximity sensor and they didn't work very well.

Alternatively you could try screen off and lock from the playstore

Yesterday I have installed ICE DS 6.5 and it's amazing. This ROM comes with s2w already installed, and you can also unlock your phone using the volume keys!
So my problem is solved and I suggest to all people that have similar troubles to think about this solution!

I thought that S2W is just kernel related and not ROM related? So it would be enough to use the kernel from amidabuddha, right?

If your using a sense rom, then yes

[Q] CM10 Nav buttons flashing on and off??

Hi all I have a Galaxy Blaze 4G on the t-mobile network.
I flashed CM 10 cm-10.0.0-t769.zip and the gapps from this thread.
Every thing seems to work very well but when the phone screen times out and goes black or I hit the power button to turn off the screen the hardware buttons ( Menu Home Back Search ) will flash on and off in 2 second intervals.
Any ideas? have I just not found a setting?
Thanks for reading.

Settings / display / notification light. It is probably flashing because of a notification that needs answering.

You need to flash the newest nightly, the stable isn't stable check the date. 3-10-13 is the latest. Plus the stable is missing a few things like the kill all apps button at the top of the recent apps switch.

I'd also really recommend flashing the updated radio located here:

I was having some issues with not being able to answer/make calls but this seems to have fixed it. It's an updated radio from what you probably have.

Hah, now that's funny. Truth is I stopped checking on XDA for a while, and never even saw that radio update. That's because I felt like I didn't really have a reason to, CM10 seems to be everything I wanted.
So, that's a kudos, all around?

LED Notification malfunction

I suppose this has already been discussed but I still need an answer.
When I receive a notification, like SMS, sometimes the LED lights up and behaves as it should, and other times it simply doesn't blink. This seems to be random... Is there any way to fix this?
Also, is this a software issue, or hardware issue that needs RMA?
Thanks.

I've had a similar issue with using the custom stock notification, but I switched over to Light Flow and you you can choose your color led notification and it works fine you try it out.

I already tried Light Flow and the problem persisted... So does that mean it's a hardware defect?

Generally I've found it to be software related. Which custom ROM are you on? Could you possible test on another to see if the problem persists?

My Nexus is completely stock, and unrooted... The problem hasn't happened in the last couple of days but I'm concerned it will return...
The LED itself functions well, but sometimes it just isn't triggered by notifications as it should.

Every once in awhile something similar happens to mine. If I power the screen on and off without actually unlocking the phone, the LED begins flashing normally as it should. Not sure if sometimes it just doesn't get triggered.

I thought mine had a similar problem initially on stock, but I think it was just me being picky ..... I'm running the CM11 nightlies now and it's working fine... Generally though the light will only turn on for notifications when the screen is off... Perhaps that's what you're noticing...

Is that for an sms? I'm not sure how many different notifications it actually lights up for on stock.

Not just for SMS. You see, right now I received an email through the Gmail app and the LED blinked once and stopped. And I turned the screen on and off and then it blinked once again and stopped. Really weird!
But now I got a text message and it's working fine. It's really random!

That sounds pretty similar to what mine was doing. I don't think lightflow even helped too much... I would recommend CM11.... It has customization for the notification light built in and it all seems to work very well.

Actually, that wasn't very helpful. I found it on my own nonetheless.
I wonder how this kind of bug has gone unnoticed or unfixed for so long.

I will try to use another ROM and then report back. I suppose this is a KitKat bug.

Yup... need a Moto OEM touchscreen, half of the third party ones, typically the cheaper ones, don't work on Marshmallow. We still don't understand why, but it's been a thing for quite a while.

This is a known issue... we don't know why for sure, but some non-OEM replacement touchscreens do not work with anything but Lollipop... And we don't know how to make it work other than replacing it with an Moto OEM touchscreen or one that is of high quality.

I am interesting why devs dont wanna implement l.mretus synaptics driver in all newer android or custom distributions than lollipop knowing this!
Its really strange , Lenovo is doing nothing in this case but devs could do..but they have conviced that its working(newer driver) for them but its not heh if something is good for everyone..why we can't use it?

Because it creates other potential issues for minimal gain I assume. I can't really answer that question definitively.

Does the screen blank (turn off) when you hold it up to your ear? If so, I do that know, if it doesn't you have a proximity sensor issue and the device needs to be repaired/replaced.

Yes the proximity sensor works perfectly fine (Screen Turns off when it's covered while calling)

So what is the issue then? If the screen is off it shouldn't be recognizing any touches... or am I misunderstanding the problem?

I'll explain........the problem is when i am making a call and not holding it to my ear (Or it hapens in the time gap between dialing and holding it to my ear)........same thing happens in the case of incoming call, that is i cant pick the incoming call(either the screen freazes or the ghost touch automatically" Decline" my call).
I am attaching a link down here........please have a look at it........ it is a screen recoded video during an incoming call.

NOTE ( i didn't touch the screen while recording........the whole thing happens automatically)
