Identify hardware inside Magician

Hello all,
I opened the Magician to repair the phone speaker, but also painting the housing. As I carefully document the parts I found one piece of hardware that draw my attention. I have a clue what it might be, but would like to share it, so maybe you know what it might be.
First some pictures

Location of the unknown hardware. When you hold your magician face up (screen up) it's under the red phone button.
piece we're talking about.
Where the 2 contact point on the unknown hardware connect to. Just like the phone speaker it kind of floats, so no wires..
As I watched carefully I noticed the shape of a half cylinder. By moving your PDA vertically/horizontally the heavy side moves towards where gravity is, meaning it always points down. (see picture 2)
I think it's some kind of hardware that suppose to, if a software supports it, turn your PDA display horizontal or vertical when you turn it. Something like iPhone demonstrated or even closer Wizard. Wizard's screen automatically goes in horizontal mode when the keypad is sliced out.
If this unknown hardware is what I think it is, why isn't used then? It would be a very nice feature
What do you think it is?

its your vibration motor.
ie: when you have 'vibrate' enabled, and your phone rings, that little motor spins like crazy and the uneven shape of the weight creats the vibration.

Yes, Definately that is the vibration motor.

Yeah... I forget Magician was a phone too... Since I don't use the phone I lost focus
Anyway... It would be great if it could have the ability to turn the screen auto. My guess would be that if that small motor could send it's position back to a chip it should be possible for software (OS for example) to act. (dual function)

I'm trying to fix my vibrator and your pics would help but the links no longer work.
Can you please relink or rehost them or send them to me?

Some Problems

EDIT:
Most of the problems in this post is SOLVED!
I have had my P3470 one day now, and I have to say I'm impressed. It's very quick in response, way more than my Qtek8310, which have the same CPU.
But, is it possible to get the kind of HOME where you have a "button" for changing profile?
Like this: (pic from a norwegian cruise)

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How do I even change profiles on a original P3470? I havn't found anywhere to change the tone-volume.
And, is it possible to get a keyboard like this: (from cruise)
I'll rather have this, cuz my P3470 qwerty-keyboard doesn't have a question mark! The cruize-qwerty seems to have more buttons when pressing shift.
And one more thing, in the quick-start menu, the one on the home-screen where you can have shortcuts to apps, why cant i have shortcuts to a contact, if i want to call that contact much, this would be very time saving.
I would also like to have some hints about a working reg-editor... cant get resco to work, and not PHM.
EDIT:
ALL, but the contacts on shortcuts-menu, SOLVED!

For adding contacts in the home screen you have to press the icon of the person (the pic with the little head and shoulders) and then press on one of the squares with the plus sign in it. Easy as pie! for removing contacts press on the square with the "x" in a circle and then tap on the square with the contact you want to remove.
enjoy!

Tone Volume Adjust
To adjust tone volume, U can just use 'volume button' on the left side. Push either of them => two vertical bars appear on screen. <note this have to do when you not on call>
- Left vertical bar on screen for key-tone, music...and others.
- Right vertical bar for Ring tone

Old problems gone, new problems are here! Weee...
When I get a new SMS, the phone beeps, and the phone unlocks. Why? Who in the name of someone thought that was a good idea?
Can I do something to make it be locked, even if I get a message?

same happens if you get a call.
the phone unlocks sofar that you can reply. so if you get a call when phone is locked screen goes on and you can react... but when you hang up the phone is locked again
easy as pie, cant believe you didnt notice that.

Yes, calls are OK. But when i get a SMS, i want it so that the phone is locked until I press the power-button. It is often I cannot read the SMS when I recieve it. But when I get a sms my phone is living in my pocket, because it ulocks.

Lock the screen after dialing a call

Hi all,
Is there a way to lock the screen after making a call? Obviously you can't hold down the end key (or at least I can't) without hanging up the call and I have AE Button set up to screen lock with a two press of the volume up button but when I do that, the volume just adjusts. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ho'okani

Here!! You need!!

are you looking to disable the display so you don't launch programs with your face? if so, consider using a quick press of the power button to turn off the display screen.

Actually what happens is when I use my bluetooth, I'll dial the number then turn off the screen (with the power button) and put the HD back into the case. When the call finishes, the screen will come back on and that's when I'll sometimes get misc. screen touches.

ok... the above scenario is a little different than described in your original post. now i understand the need for a different solution.

phone/call screen does not respond\

I got a problem -- i'm not sure if this is a bug, but I cannot access any buttons on the screen when I call out
-- I cannot enable speaker
-- I cannot enable mute
-- I cannot add call
-- I cannot put the call on hold
-- I cannot hit the buttons under keypad and end call or any of those keys, the screen is literally unresponsive, I have to press the physical button to hang up.
I'm not sure what's going on. this is one of L26's older roms, I think I downloaded this rom on 2/18
If anyone has an answer please let me know, I would like to have these re-enabled. the screen doesn't respond to any of the presses.
if I slide around the end call or keypad I kinda get a response, but it's seldom.
Everything else is working great.
HTC HD2 T9193 (some reason it reads 8585 after the new flash)

I got the same bug after flashing a new ROM. But I could solve it by disabling the "tap time" setting in BsB tweaks in my case. If you are using the above tool, try the above suggestion. Good Luck!

thanks,
I think I found another way around it
if you slide your fingers across the buttons it works, dunno if it was intentional, but it's annoying

I think your using L26's V1.2 CAB (brilliant, btw - still using it).
I recall picking up "L26 Lockscreenfix.cab" in an attempt to prevent my ear conferencing in friends whilst talking using the capacitive screen before I found the wonderful S2U2 application. I think that the L26 Lockscreenfix does exactly what you described. I don't recall if it's uninstallable but look at your installed programs list and see if it's listed.
Good luck. Tom

Go into Vibrate Mode from Lockscreen?

I have a note 3 running stock 5.0. Is there any way to put phone into vibrate mode without entering the pin in the lock screen? Before the on-off menu after a long press on button gave you sound options on the bottom so you could quickly go to silent or vibrate without opening to the home screen.

Also when I open camera widget from lockscreen it looks like this

Half the screen is black. Picture come out properly but viewfinder is obscured.

Your picture issue is a software bug that'll be fixed some time
But no you can't change sounds without unlocking the phone which is very nice but also unconventional

It is not nice imo. When an impromptu meeting occurs I need to go to vibrate mode quickly. Before I could do it from power menu or by holding the volume button down.. Now I need to enter a pin. It is very inconvenient.
The opaque white notifications covering the status bar also suck.
Thank you very much for answering though. Better to KNOW there is no way around this issue than be frustrated trying to find a way to get to mute.

Well I found a way for fellow gear owners. You install wearable widgets in gear from Samsung store then install a widget called Silent Mode Widget on your note 3 and add it to wearable widgets. The silent mode widget will then function from your gear watch. While the phone is locked and in your pocket you can set vibration mode or silent mode or normal mode right from your watch! Never even have to touch phone let alone unlock with pin.
