[Q] accelerometer issue

I installed air penguin from google play, and when I tilted my tab to the right the penguin went right, so I installed another accelerometer games and the result is same. the question is : is this just an app issue or accelerometer issue?
*sorry for my bad english.

Don't worry about that. First thing you have to do is testing the accellerometer (just to be sure)
If it's bad-calibrated, you just have to re-calibrate it
Go into Settings -> Screen..
Then you have to see HOW does the accellerometer work
You can even use AndroSensor here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fivasim.androsensor&hl=it and test it
Let us know

I tried it and the accelerometer works well, I think this is just an application issue. thanks for the help

I think there is a 90 degree pivot in accelerometer for our GT7+, and with another configuration somewhere else to keep the screen orientation normal. However some apps do not work with the latter part and behave awkardly on our Tab.

I tried this game a long time ago and it did the same for me (cartoon wars too). I never found the calibration option in the menu, so when i saw this post i was like AHA how the heck did i miss it!
Anyhoo i don't see this option on the settings menu at all. So is this a just one of the quirks with this tablet/games?

Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh nice to see this! I'm wondering if it's just a P6200 option...
Hey people with P6210, do you even have no "horizontal calibration" option in Screen settings???
Please let us know...

Yes, I have a GT-P6210MAYXAR here that does have this option. That is very strange. It should be the last option on the Screen settings page, titled "Horizontal calibration." This issue is new to me.
I'm almost certain I still had that option when I was running the LA3 firmware.
I switched back to KL1 so I could run garyd9's custom kernel.

[Resolved] Looking for an app

Hello,
I'm looking for an app that i had quite a long time ago, it had as option to have compatibility with older apps (meaning that apps that didn't go fullscreen on higher resolution devices, got upscaled to have the full screen covered).
Anyone know what app that was or has another app that can do the same?
Thanks in advance.

Assuming you have an Android, it should fit the screen regardless.

Yes i do have Android and no it doesn't, why would i be asking for it otherwise

What phone you have and what apps aren't fiting?

The Sensation, currently i have it with FF3 (Final Fantasy 3), 2 black borders on the side.
But older apps have this aswell (some just appear in a small screen with black area's in the bottom and side parts)
Like this with FF3:

Hmm.. this doesn't happen on my Droid 3 except on emulators, in which case it has to do with the original game having a specific resolution. Sorry I couldn't help

After searching some forums, i have finally found a post i made for a game that had this problem (Eternal Legacy HD).
The app is Spare Parts.
Thanks for trying to help tho!

Why theres a Panda on my Desktop? ^_^

I dont know why, but for some reason when I swipe between screens on my desktop, it appears a Panda on the bottom left corner as shown in the screenshot (also the ears on the top left corner). It is actually the Triple Town Icon, but if I remove the app from the desktop, it keeps showing up.
It also appears a white "shinning", but once I restart the device, it all disappears and goes back to normal. Is not annoying at all, just curious. Any idea why this could happen?

What launcher are you running?
Are you using any apps that could be from less-than-legitimate sources or developers?

He didn't do anything wrong. Let him chill.

Obviously your are running a theme, as evident by the white shiny background to your launcher shots. I notice an aftermarket app drawer button.
Go back to stock everything and I bet it's gone.

Stock launcher. All apps should be legit, maybe Nexus 4 camera app is provoking it... :/

The shiny background is part of the "bug" and I manually changed the app drawer button within "framework-res.apk" :good:
Now the panda is gone, its strange. As I said, its not annoying at all, just "funny stuff".

As AlexDeGruven said non legitimate apps do tend install junk to, same as a PC.
I'm sure since your rooted, it installed it with out you knowing. (when you installed the panda app)

That's a sneaky panda you got there. What I usually do is spread out some bamboos on my home screen and wait for him to come out. Then I catch him with my finger and throw him in the garbage can. If he comes back rinse and repeat, If you run out of bamboos your screwed.

[Q] Full screen popup ads

Hi there. Recently, ads that look like the image above have been popping up insistently on my phone. Every single time i pick it up after an interval, the ad pops up and takes up the whole screen, unless i click "no, thanks" or "Back" or "Home" it won't go away.
I'm getting very frustrated and i have uninstalled about 90% of my apps. I installed cleanmaster to clean my system cache to get rid of any unwanted files and i run it all the time. I've also tried all the ad blockers/detectors on the play store but they cannot detect any sign of malicious software.
Any advice? I would really hate to do a factory reset but i would like to know the cause of the problem, if it's an app. What's the point of having an android if i can't install any apps?!
Any ideas on how i can get to the root of the problem? It's frustrating as f***.

what happens if you press the recents button? does it show any app or just not respond?

It opens a webpage. One of those annoying "contest" websites where you are asked to do quizzes or enter your number to win a prize.

And what about the other 10%? Check all your apps...
Have you rebooted after uninstalled the others?

Hum... It's on your side, not Android... You obviously downloaded something...

It's an app for sure, but we cant help you unless you show us the list of your remaining apps.
When you find it, just uninstall it. No need to clear cash or anything, it wont make a difference anyway. And if you got it from google play, you should report it since it is against their guidelines. https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479847?hl=en
If it is not from the play store e.g. some pirate app, I dont feel sorry for you... If it's a legitimate app from outside the playstore you should raise your concern with the developer.

Camera suddenly missing

Hey guys, i have a problem. 2 days ago my camera suddenly dissappeart out of my app drawer. Its still listed under all apps and active apps in the settings but anywhere else its gone.
In the morning i took a photo and in the evening it was gone. Funny to me is that when I open whatsapp and want to take a photo it shows me the front cam but no back cam. I even installed other camera apps such as camera360 and so on. Only frontcam is working. There isnt even a FC or such, its just gone.
I am running stock (it was rooted but i flashed the full stock img trying to fix it)
If the question comes up, i did not delete or deactivate it nor was an update installed. I even tried other roms but no cam. Factory Reset etc nothing seems to work.
Rom full stock 5.0.1.
Yesterday i called LG support as I didnt buy it from Google directly but the guy on the phone was no big help, he was more confused than I am right now.
In conclusion its like someone took my phone appart and while reassemble he forgot to put in the cam ---just for clarification, this didnt happen!!!
Has anyone a tip or suggestion what I can do?

What happens if you try to download Google camera from the play store?

Nothing, in Playstore it shows installed so in the Apps. But in the drawer its still missing and in whatsapp only frontcam is available

Why would you rma it when you can flash the factory image and get it back as a worst case.

If you would have read the opening post you should know i flashed the stock img, tried 5 different roms...nothing.
BUT, i have a little update. theres a 4k camera here on xda LCamera is the name, this one is working. At least its now.

are you currently on lollipop?

yes, Stock 5.0.1 (Latest)
As mentioned before the LCamera is working but no other Cam app

Have you enabled nu player in developer options?

yes, ̶ ̶̶b̶̶u̶̶t̶ i disabled it..̶ ̶̶d̶̶i̶̶d̶̶ ̶̶a̶̶ ̶̶r̶̶e̶̶s̶̶t̶̶a̶̶r̶̶t̶̶ ̶̶o̶̶f̶̶ ̶̶t̶̶h̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶p̶̶h̶̶o̶̶n̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶a̶̶n̶̶d̶̶ ̶̶s̶̶t̶̶i̶̶l̶̶l̶̶ ̶̶i̶̶t̶̶s̶̶ ̶̶m̶̶i̶̶s̶̶s̶̶i̶̶n̶̶g̶
Thank you its working now. seems the NU-Player was the problem. But i did not change anything before it was gone...

Lol. Good good! I had never enabled it myself but remember people writing about it when the dev preview was released! Glad all is working again then! Your phone isn't broken. Lol

Still it seems funny that the NU Player has something to do with the camera.

Yup. Lol. Who knows why. It's been a bug since the preview which Google seem to not care about

Well...Phone was to LG RMA, almost every little thing was repaired (new case, new display, new speaker and vibration) but cam is still or better again missing.
It worked for the first two days after the. RMA but then it went missing again.
The RMA document states that it was repaired or better the flex cable of the cam was repaired.
Any ideas?
