[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.

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!

KeepItOn (KIO) is an application designed to end the scourge of the screen turns off while we are reading or watching something. So annoying, at least for me…
How it works
KIO detect any small movements and prolongs the time to turn off the screen, like if you have touched the screen. Even if the screen turns off, you can always shake to wake you up during a time set by you, default is 5 seconds, and by shake I mean move slightly.
Please test it, rate it and give your feedback.
I will try to attend possible requests as soon as I can.

Thanks great idea as it alwasy annoy me when screen turns off while i am reading, willl give it a try I hope it wont consume too much battery

very useful, thank you. keep your work!

How is the battery consumption?

This goes on back process yes?
how this will affect on battery?

Thank you Sir :good: .. Works good on Lenovo A3000 with andrid 4.2.2

Will motion keep it awake if it's in your pocket and you're walking, or does it use the proximity sensor to prevent that? Will the motion of a moving car keep the screen from turning off?

Yes, this is a background process that reads the accelerometer. However when screen is off the service is running but it is doing nothing.
I am using for two weeks and have not noticed any significant change with the battery consumption.

Thanks for the app and reply, will try and post the feedback.

Is there something like this for Xposed?

"Pocket mode" added.
Due to all the requests that I have had, I decide to add a feature that check the proximity sensor in order to detect if phone is in the pocket, prevent that way that phone stay alive forever in the pocket, draining all the battery.
Please test it and help me make KeepItOn better.
Happy new year everyone!

I've previously turned on the app, set it to "auto start", rebooted & now I've noticed that it was turned off. Maybe this was only to me. By the way, great app.

sir you deserved lots of thanks from me it's great app

I can see advantages to this app and I can see disadvantages too...
Is there any way to make this "app dependant", so like it will only keep the screen on when compared to a whitelist of apps, otherwise it will leave the screen off as normal? For example, it would be very useful to have the screen stay on for reading from a browser, but not when my phone is just displaying the launcher homescreen? I know it is probably asking the earth or close to the impossible but I thought i would ask anyway

New update available.
- Notification Icon
- Minor bug fixes
This update is a big update for android 4.4.2 users since there is a bug on that android version, for that users "Notification Icon" must be always on. More info here.

The first objective of the app is the simplicity, but I will though about that feature and see if it's worth.

I've got notification icon enabled in settings but I don't see the icon in the status bar. Running 4.4.4 on a Sprint Moto X.

Auto-rotation not working

Hello, everyone!
Yesterday I discovered that my device doesn't detect its own orientation. It was after I tried to record a video and it came out vertical. I thought it was a ROM bug (since I was using the CyanogenMod nightlies), but I flashed with RSD Lite (cleanly) both 5.0.1 and the latest 6.0 ROMs and it still doesn't work. Sensor apps detect changes in the numbers when I move the device, though. I haven't dropped my Moto MAXX, and I always use it with a case...
Is there any way to recalibrate the sensors or something? I can provide any information or log if you tell me how to grab them.
Thanks!

Okay, this is REALLY weird. After a whole afternoon believing it was something software-related, I gently hit my device against the table three or four times and now it rotates correctly...

I was kind of desperate about the matter, probably I would have gone with the hammer option if the table hits hadn't worked.
By the way, and following my original post, is the gyroscope a mechanical thing? Or is it electrical?

It's the accelerometer.
Here's an issue Samung had with the Galaxy S6 at launch a year ago:
Samsung confirms screen-rotation problem with some Galaxy S6 Edge phones
http://www.computerworld.com/articl...-problem-with-some-galaxy-s6-edge-phones.html
Some Edge users have raised various theories about what causes the problem. One theory is that Samsung's fast-charging cord fried the chip that controls the accelerometer sensor, which affects rotation of images on the display. Another theory is that certain apps on the Edge — either third-party or pre-installed apps — have not been updated sufficiently to be compatible with recent minor Android OS updates. That lack of compatibility could somehow restrict the software controlling auto-rotation.
A Samsung technician on the 800-support line told Computerworld that users affected by the auto-rotate problem are being asked to test the faulty device by first going to "safe mode" to allow the phone to operate without third-party apps loaded by the user. If the problem persists after that test, the users are then asked to try a "hard key re-set" of the phone, which basically wipes all personal data and contacts and initiates a factory reset upon a reboot of the phone. The technician said personal data can first be stored to a remote backup location through the Samsung Kies or Samsung Smart Switch applications.
The technician didn't indicate what Samsung might do if the hard key re-set fails to fix the auto-rotate problem. A Samsung tech will walk users through the various steps required to perform the tests or Samsung can do the tests remotely.
The Samsung technician's course of action seems to indicate the problem is related to incompatible software, not hardware, but Samsung is not saying officially what the cause or the solution may be.
An Edge user named "IDOG" reported early Wednesday at Android Forums that he may have found the culprit. He said the rotation problem occurred when using the third-party Nova Launcher, but not when using TouchWiz, which is Samsung's own front-end touch interface. Nova Launcher, a third-party Android app by TeslaCoil Software, replaces a user's home screen with one that is customizable.
IDOG said Nova Launcher has so far worked fine after he uninstalled it and then re-installed it without borrowing any of the settings from his prior install of the launcher.
As a result of IDOG's field work, in theory, something as seemingly insignificant as user settings inside a third-party app could be part of Samsung's problem with some Edge screens not rotating properly

None of those seems to fit with what happened. Well, let's hope it stays functional. Thanks.

Gear S3 screen problem

Hello experts;
I've got a gear S3, it was working fine since the day,I notice the screen is off, but the watch was connected to the phone via Bluetooth and I can gear sounds off notifications in the watch.
The touch screen was responding as well as the bezel. I turned the watch on and off several times until the screen come back, but it start first from pixel to white screen.
It was looking like an old TV with some pixels like noise. And finally stabilize to normal.
I've found some threads like that but none have solutions or details why this is happening. Only due to watchmaster, application that I don't have
Does anyone got solution or idea about that problem?
FYI I have the latest Tizen 2.3.2.1 APK6
Regards

Static on screen is caused by watchmaster, even if you don't have watchmaster app itself, some of the popular watch faces in store (Detector by Liongate or Timeless by Pluto etc.) actually comes with their own watchmaster embedded. Try with a stock watchface.

Unfortunately after deleted all the downloaded watch faces, where I've left only the original ones. Bu, still have the same issue. I did a video during the issue but didn't find the way to upload it here. I linked some snapshot pictures taken from the video.

wow! I would exchange that. I have no knowledge or expertise, but that looks like a bad connection inside the watch to me.

This is what watchmaster is causing, you problem is different tho, either your display connection is bad or your battery is swelling

Is there any guide to open and disassembly? I bought it from another country. no way to get it replaced

Call Samsung and speak with them. "Usually" they can tell if it is still under warranty and will fix it. It doesn't matter where you bought it. ymmv
It doesn't hurt to try.

Have you done a factory reset?
If the screen is unresponsive, this is done by holding done the Home button until it says "Rebooting" then tapping the button continuously until the boot up menu appears, then tapping it down to the "Reset" option.

any idea whats causing this using it since 3 months i had a normal stock watch face but i recently turned brightness to 10 and turned on always on display for about 4 hours before this happened rebooting and even factory resetting doesn't solve it has been 2 days

Question Watch face Issue (White Text Clock)

Hi guys
Need some help. Since the last update 9 Feb. I have this weird thing with custom watchfaces. It renders correctly... But as soon as the screen goes off (sleep) the watchfaces changes to this in the picture. And stays like this?
I don't have AOD enabled or anything. I'm. It sure if it's a setting somewhere... But the stock faces is okay.
It's driving me crazy hehe. Not sure why this is happening...
I need to basically uninstall and reinstall the face but then it happens again..

And now even stock samsung watch face has a problem with keeping aod alive i get black screen instead of aod from that watch face few times today and no my watch was unlocked all the time so it was not a sensor/lock screen issue but Samsung mess : /

nope its not the same but yes they mess it in last update i get simmilar result with one watchface yesterday when i was looking for some working aod watchface ;P

They will have to fix with a patch or something... Alot of faces affected....

It think the original poster of this thread is posting a different (but possibly related) bug than what others are following up on. I believe most of this is about using AOD and sometimes the screen is not updating in ambient (low-power) mode. While this is happening to me, as well, I have not seen the white digital clock appear on my AOD display, ever.
In any case, and I am not sure it will make any difference, but I did report this to Samsung through my Samsung account by opening a "my questions" with the following (most of which from my posting on the other thread on this forum):
After the recent R890XXU1EVA8/R8900XM1EVA8 firmware update, I am experiencing major problems with the always-on display:
There are times that when in lower-power (ambient) mode, it is NOT updating any information on the screen (analog or digital). If I touch the screen, do the "wake up" wrist move, or touch a button, it immediately updates everything. It is unpredictable and intermittent. Prior to this last update, it ALWAYS updated the AOD screen in any condition. Now when I glance down at the watch, I am not sure if that is the actual time or not. And that defeats one of the main purposes of having AOD.
Worse, at other random times, it resists waking from low-power mode, even when pressing a button. I have to press several times and there is a long delay before it goes full-awake, updates the screen, and gives me control. Sometimes when it is acting like this (as if the face is "frozen"), it also doesn't automatically adjust the AOD screen brightness to environmental conditions, either.
And it is not just me. Many others are reporting this on the xda-developers forum:
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 gets new straps, faces...
FYI, a few items for our Samsung Galaxy watch 4 ⌚: https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-watch-4-straps-2022-3103478/
forum.xda-developers.com
And on Reddit, one user suggested this as a possible root cause:
“For watchfaces that make use of WatchFaceService.Engine, the onTimeTick() method is called once a minute to update the watch screen when in ambient mode. This allows the watch to display the correct time, even when the user hasn't interacted with the watch recently. After the latest GW4 system update, the onTimeTick() method is no longer being called while in ambient mode. This seems like a newly-introduced bug, but could just possibly be a misguided attempt to save battery.”
I would appreciate it if you would look into this, because it is absolutely ruining my experience with your product. Thanks

Well, that was a waste. I got an Email saying I had to report it through "help" on the website. So I went there and did a chat and had to escalate to a "pro" who could take the information for a ticket. Now I have a ticket number. Who knows if it will get anywhere from there. But at least I tried (twice).

Thank you for going the mile for us.
Im spamming update button, but i have a sneaky suspicion, its going to stay like that. I dont tink its a bug, but rather an enhancement or something. (You know Samsung)
I think the watchmakers will need to update their watches to not use that stay awake function thing....(All my old favourite watch faces broken :'()
Hopefully im wrong......... LOL

I have this same problem still, even after latest update a few days ago, it's so frustrating that I can only really use Samsung's watchfaces at the moment! Does anyone know any sort of workaround?

Hi there...
Yes I hear your pain. Same here. I was so excited to see that 107mb update... Immediately tested those watchfaces. Still the same
I started using Watchmaker watchfaces working well. Very good repo of free faces aswell....
I still hope for a fix... Maybe the next one. So sad
