vibrant accelerometer issue please help - Vibrant General

There appears to be a problem with my accelerometer. It started to notice it when playing Homerunbattle3d. A few days ago, the motion was smooth. It was very fluid
Now, the motion is very jerky.
I tested the accelerometer using 2 bubble level programs as well with the same result. The bubble moved around with a jerky motion.
Is there a setting for accelerometer somewhere?
I'm not sure if my accelerometer is defective or if I messed up a setting somehow.
how do i fix this

Download android sensor data from the market.. run it. And try again. Definitely a software bug or this app wouldn't fix it.
I run it after every restart.. seems to calibrate the sensor.. its smooth as can be when fixed...
Can't believe more people haven't complained about this...

Man, it's something new every day with this phone, huh?
I hadn't even gotten into gaming performance / accelerometer issues. I've been stressing out over 3G reception / GPS and Compass being completely and 100% broken. One more thing to worry about with the ever-nearing Buyer's Remorse period running down...
I guess I'll go download some tilt games and see what happens. I'll report back with my findings.

Yea this depresses me too.. make sure you kill games first,then open the app, then game......

What are some good games to test?

try the homerunbattle3d both fun and great to test also the bubble level tool aswell
and thank you for recommending the accelerometer data thing it really help fixed the problem completely

I guess I should rephrase:
Any free games I could grab to test this?
I got PapiJump, and immediately noticed that something wasn't right.
I just finished wasting my time proving to some jack-off that there is an issue with 3G reception. Upon exiting SpeedTest, I put the screen to sleep and downloaded PapaiJump on my iPhone.
The controls worked perfectly, so I loaded up the Android version again, just to see if it was still wonky. Oddly enough, it controlled just as well as the iPhone version. I don't know if it somehow re-calibrated itself somehow, but the initial run was not a good sign: 'Papi' would constantly fly to the left, regardless of my input.
I guess I'll keep an eye on this issue and see if it was just a fluke for me.

This is the over statement of the day. How is 3G, GPS and Compass 100% broken? Granted some people are having some issues but its not as bad as you're saying. I have no issues with 3G and GPS. Sounds like you have a broken phone.

This is kind of off-topic, but then again, so was your rebuttal.
Really? Your GPS is flawless and 100% accurate without wireless networks and WiFi? I've had two phones now, with exactly the same issues. Google Maps thinks I'm in another city, and satellite lock takes ~5 minutes.
As for 3G reception problems...really? You don't notice anything?
Here I am, with what I would refer to as 'decent' speeds for my area. This is my phone, sitting on a table, with no human contact.

I guess it's possible that I might have two defective phones. I'm going to go ahead and say that it's unlikely. Feel free to replicate this test. As mentioned before: I'm using the silicon case with my device.
If you feel like debating this issue in another thread, feel free. Otherwise, let us get back to testing the rest of the equipment.
Are there any (free?) SixAxis games on the market, yet?

No free ones I know of.. and your speed drop is not normal. Most people lose bars not much speeds. I know I get awesome speeds even if bars drop and so do most people.. I'm not saying I don't believe you but 99% of people don't have that drop in speeds...
All in my opinion needing fixed is 3g bars how there's displayed, minor GPS fixes, fix compass, and now this accelerometer thing.. other than those I love this phone..

Should've stopped right there.

I have the same problem. And it was also with Homerun Battle 3D. Before finding this thread I would restart my phone, uninstall the app and not find any way to get rid of the issue. Android Sensor Data fixes it but I haven't tested it more than once.
I'm on the original rom that shipped with the phone. I have some lag but it hasn't gotten in the way too much. Anybody else having this problem?

Well... every other post is about Evo 4g love affair, so lets not
my only gripe is no voice & data at the sametime, other than that i am enjoying the EVO (atleast within my 30 day window haha). i am recently enjoying the linking of contacts to social networks and other items as well linking Qik to facebook to provide links to videos i posted without having to do it manually.
very cool phone, walk around in the airport listening to music, get the ok from pilot for electronics, switch to a movie, read the usatoday, send my wife a msg on gtalk, flip back to movie, etc etc etc
I love my EVO too which is why I am so sad that HTC put a cap on the graphics and I may have to return it...

+1 for this topic! I love mine as well. Amazing phone despite the negative reports (which I only experience a few of personally).
Good thread. I love my EVO too. The problems worry me but I still prefer it to the iPhone 3GS I just left, and to the iPhone 4 that is coming out. So far I haven't noticed touch screen issues or screen seperation. But this phone is still awesome. I would replace it though if there was a 4.3"-5" nexus one though
I am coming from a mogul, so things are night and day.
I am very happy with the evo...
yes I have seen wifi slowdown: max 5000kbps down, 1000 up with a only the dot as an indication; Performance degrades significantly if hand is placed over the kickstand area. Battery life is as expected for heavy use (12hrs, blue tooth & 3g data all day, 20% screen brightness). I see the screen lifting ever so slightly and can barely see light creeping though at night, but I got a seidio case which seems to keep everything snug, if it gets worse I'll do the black silicone trick. Barring the fact that I haven't found a file encryption package, or a way to easily back everything up (as i could with sprite backup on wm)......that is ...yet.
I love this thing and use it all day. The speech to text is awesome (I laught to think that I was worried about a keyboard!)
the wifee got one too. she is happy as she has never had a smartphone or anything that could do email/internet. I showed her the problem with the display(slight lifting & setting on a table-top slider), and she gave me a dumb look and said "so, whats the problem? " .... I left it at that.
you will never have a perfect production run, there will always be software bugs, lets home that HTC will improve their processes, make current customers happy (returns & repair and or replacements), and will get together with sprint for an action plan including the release with fixes to the current problems with a easy to root, android 2.2 update.
qu1nn
It's the way people have been conditioned lately...for instance...when was the last time you heard of a happy marriage? but I bet you heard of a **** ton of divorces and unhappy marriages...no one goes out singing high praises anymore, it's always complaints and *****ing.
On a brighter note, yes, the phone has it's problems...it wouldn't be a consumer grade electronic device if it didn't. I personally LOVE it.
No issues here. Coming from an AT&T Tilt, so consider my world rocked at the moment.

You and me both, and I was running android on it, so even with the fps cap, the EVO is faster I can't think of another phone I would rather have right now despite the issues. Have had zero hardware issues and can fairly easily get 20+ hours of battery life with moderate usage. Quite happy...

In all seriousness, I don't know that I have turned on my laptop more than once or twice since I got my EVO, I think that it hits the perfect balance of screen size and pocketability for light internet surfing/email/blog reading/Facebook/etc. such that it makes a full sized computer almost irrelevant. Just MHO.
Yeah... i'm loving my evo! rooted and unlocked nand!

Workaround to GPS problems

Hi all,
I don't know if this will help anyone but it seems to have resolved my GPS issues on the I9000 running stock JPO (with z4root and OCLF).
Prior to this workaround, my GPS was crap and I was about to give up on it. Also, it was fine when I upgraded to JPO initially and then got worse after a few days and then became totally unusable. Note that I am not on any mobile plan (just prepaid calls) so I do not have AGPS assist at all.
I saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6QnNMxuCig&feature=related which mentions that you can use GPSStatus to update the AGPS info on the I9000.
Not expecting much I tired the AGPS update and to my surprise my GPS is now working like a dream, I get locks within 10 seconds and the tracking now works! I tried tracking in a bus where I am seated near a window and it works 100% (it was raining hard as well). This did not work at all before. BTW, I used CoPilot for the tracking test.
So updating the AGPS does help and also might explain why my GPS worked after the JPO upgrade and then deteriorated over time.
Anyway I hope this help someone coz it worked for me
Please. Even orange has admitted the gps problem and agreed to exchange it for me...
There's no point doing this type of setting. A good gps should be working without too many complicated settings.
A-GPS is assisted GPS and uses the network to get better/faster fixes. Get out of the city and you'll find out your GPS is probably just as bad.
The Nexus S was delayed due to hardware problems. Once the hardware was fixed and the phone was passed through the FCC again guess what part was changed? The bluetooth, WIFI and GPS atennas.

yeah i read this on engadget few days ago was about to start new thread on it glad i seen your comments first. orange do know about the gps issues but still samsung is quiet on the issue. After slagging off apple about there antenna issues i highly doubt they will ever admit to the antenna's being the sole cause of gps / wifi issues alot people are reporting. if this is not the case then why re-design new ones? samsung you dirty rats this is my last samsung phone ill ever own!.

Well if it's a hardware problem it can't be an issue with all Galaxy S phones. Mine seems to work pretty well even from the ground floor of my 2 story home.

Thats why i asked what the problem was mine seems ok .
So if its a hardware problem then its either a part like aerial so why should my aerial be ok and others not . Or it could be a bad connection on the board that would be more likely as its poor GPS not across the board on all sets .

[Q][Survey] Is your Transformer still working?

After my Transformer "died" today and I keep reading of others doing the same, I would like to get a little overview how many devices are affected. Feel free to add your personal story or just vote, but this is not meant as a rant thread.
Mine was working nicely for the last two weeks without a single issue, apart from a little touchscreen issue which was more than bearable. Today it decided to not wake up after going to sleep while charging, HDMI still works, though.
greetz
My transformer somehow turned itself off when I was sleeping, and this morning it wouldn't turn on no matter how long I held the power button. 5 minutes later I try again and it turns on. It did drain 25% battery overnight somehow when it usually drains 3%. I never updated, it is still on the factory software. I haven't yet heard of this happening to anyone.
I put my vote in for light bleeding. But mine seems to be a bit different because one side of my LCD panel has a big gap in it. Waiting for inventory to become available so I can exchange it.

sounds familiar First batch of Transformers seem to have quite some issues...
My display stopped working from one minute to another and is now dead for a few days. Not even boot animation visible --> RMA.
so if I get any of the above issues what should I do?
maybe OP or somebody could put together a guide for trouble shooting?

Well, thats one part of the problem: For most of them, there is no workaround at the moment or they are hardware-related and not user-fixable. Make sure you check the numerous threads adressing the individual issues if you need help for a specific problem.

No issues and I've had it for a week+ now. I really can't count lightbleed since it's only visible at the brightest setting in a completely dark room and even then barely.
Also seems like the vast majority has a working device from the poll so far (aside from lightbleed since lightbleed still constitutes a fully functioning transformer).
My transformer really works great, even got it updated to 0423 via asus site today. Downside, my screen has random lines that glitch about two inches long. Thought the update would fix. Negative. Seems to be on darker colors. I thought it was softwar since the asus weather widget i can get it to follow with screen transition sometimes. I really dont want to RMA. Its only a millisecond long, but theres about 30 total, in no particuar order, at no particular time. Video this weekend.

Did you try the hard shutdown? (hold power 15~20 seconds) and a cold boot?
I've held down the power button for almost a minute. Not a thing happens.
I've tried it plugged in as well (although the battery was around 50% when this happened.
Thanks.
Push and hold (5-10 seconds at a time) the power button a few different ways. Sometimes my screen doesn't turn on but holding it more towards the back works. I'll put up a video showing what I mean tomorrow but other then that it's flawless.
I love it and honestly it's far exceeded my expectations. If they tighten down on QC this will be the tablet to get. Home run for Asus.
well i have one ordered on backorder im about 200 down the list, gonna take a couple weeks for me probably.
in the mean time with asus saying they will only produce 10k a month instead of a target 300k they have no excuse not to have great QC, with so much less to do and less to produce it should be easier for them
anyone feel as though the device is a little 'squeaky'? as though the lcd may pop out one day?
It is not charging. At all.
And it has problems waking up from a deep sleep.

[Q] Note III Vs Ingress!

For those of who play ingress you will be aware of the heavy load it gives to the phone/battery.
I was wondering if any of you have tried this game yet on the note 3? How has it been?
I`m just curious really, looking forward in trying this out when I upgrade but considering my options at the moment.
I get mine today hopefully... I average about 100k in AP a day which translates through to about 2-3 battery recharges for a note 2.
Will let you know when i have it in my hot little hands

Ah nice timing I guess! I wonder also how the "gps" is with the game. I suspect the screen will be great for this.
One hand mode should also help with the game and with stopping "burn in"

Got my Note 3 the other week and it is a great phone, except the GPS. Coming from the S4, which has a terrific gps, the game is almost unplayable on the Note 3. The position is drifting although I am standing still or freeze when I am moving. Forget about neat deploys.
I actually sent my unit for repairs. Hopefully they can fix it. Right now back on the S4.

Ouch, Gps is a biggy too and bad placements can be a nightmare. Here is hoping that is a one off.
Just to give another opinion:
I played on Saturday and Monday with the Note 3 for the first time (Verizon model), and I had no issues whatsoever. GPS was awesome, battery life was pretty good (~3-4 hours of Ingress probably but not totally sure) and the game (Broot) ran smooth as butter.
So maybe it's possible some models or some units have GPS issues, but I haven't run into any. Granted, I also haven't played in known GPS-cloudy/floaty areas just yet.
I've had some time with mine now and have found the GPS to be quite flaky.
It's pretty much unusable in a moving vehicle, in the CBD around big buildings Its almost impossible to get lock.
I'm hoping we can tweak this because I still *love* the phone.

I`ve managed to see this in action with the Note 3. First off - excellent device for this game.
Interestingly the GPS in the 1st week was good, then it became gradually more laggy with position so the player would "catch up" as he was moving to the edge of the portal. However, reading another thread which highlighted a similar issue with Google maps; installing GPS status - get the aps state download/calibrate and apparently the issue has now gone.
Perhaps some of you have tried this or not but I would give it a try at least as it appears to have solved the odd drift movement.

Perhaps some of you have tried this or not but I would give it a try at least as it appears to have solved the odd drift movement.

My gps ground to a halt today, could not get lock at all.
So I installed gps status but it couldn't get lock either.
So I rebooted and it got lock immediately.
It's been perfect since then.
See how it goes.

Fingers crossed this fixes it. A few of us are about to take the plunge so any feedback will be great on gps performance.
Have you guys tried disabling the "use wireless networks" option in the GPS settings to see if that helps with the inaccurate/laggy location?
It's been pretty good since my fix yesterday

issues/bugs regarding camera and software

Hello everyone, I'm new to xda, so I'm sorry if I messed anything about this thread up.
I have my European Axon 7 for a few weeks already and, besides a few rather tiny complaints, am generally quite happy with it. Would still be nice if there were any known fixes or at least some assurance that ZTE does know about these:
First, I noticed small artifacts when taking pictures of bright, yellow objects. Artifacts are reproducible but idk if any other colours are affected. (looking a bit like tiny infinite-symbols, pic link:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
)
A fix from ZTE would be quite nice, fortunately it isn't that bad unless one pixel peeps or looks at a pic on his TV screen.
Then, second, if I have the option activated that wifi is to go into standby when the screen is off, it does deconnect, but never reconnects unless I turn it off and on again. Issue has been on the last OS version afaik.
Third, I've had three random reboots so far, Idk if there are any apps known for causing instability on this device, but rn I have no hints as to what might be causing this. (also many apps crash the first time I start them after installing, running just fine afterwards.
Any help and/or advice is highly appreciated.

To me that and the random reboots sounds like you have a device with Bad Memory. If you have NOT rooted your phone and applied any third party tweaking apps such as "L Speed Mod" or "Fly-on Mod". If you have. Then these tools tend to create those random reboots.
I'm running my A2017G with average usage and heavy stress testing since a week without any of those affects.

Oh dang, I hope not, dont wanna have to send it in.
I don't have any such mods applied. Also I have had my phone for maybe a month and only had 3 of these reboots, so idk but maybe a heavy rare bug?

In your case I would run a stress test. Use any of the heavy benchmark apps (Antutu, CPU Benchmark, etc) and run them multiple times.
Don't worry about the score or the phone getting warmer (CPU will be throttled at some point).
But look out for a sudden reboot or crash.
Those are usually caused by bad RAM.

Will Vellamo do? And multiple times as in 5x+?
Sorry for nit picking but can't charge too much today so am trying to preserve as much battery as I can.

It doesn't really matter what benchmark test as anyone of them will go hard on RAM.

Sooo reporting back, I've done 9 runs, 5 browser ones, single core and multi core twice each as well. No crashs, no lags, nothing.
I downloaded an app called Visions of Chaos which does nothing but render Fractals and OpenGl shaders. If anyone could test on his device if e.g. the performance tanking shader "Sample Long Slender Flexible" (among the first 20 OpenGl Shaders) at max resolution(0.5) makes the Axon 7 crash or not that'd be great as I don't know if that's the normal behaviour(mine crashes everytime).
