Does anybody know what this is? I was checking what has used my battery in the settings menu and this showed up as having used 3%. I have no idea what it is....... Running JT's super clean ROM and stock kernel.

Compass. I learned that because catch.com "compass" would not let it go after closing the app it left the process hanging at 60% till reboot.
The full process name is /system/bin/sensorserver_yamaha
Edit: More definitive answer in capture.
good day.
Thank you, chopper - is this something that is normally supposed to be running? I never remember seeing it before - is there any way to close it or is it an essential function?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
yes, it's normal and essential
it facilitates orientation/screen rotation
(ie, accelerometer/compass)
Thank you! My day is now complete - I learned something new

When trying to download apps, it stalls on the starting download screen. I've left it there for 5 to 10 minutes without anything happening. I still have 201mb of space left for the apps. Is anyone else having a problem with this?

This is one of the reasons why I rooted my vibrant and installed ryanza's lagfix. Have u tried clearing your market history/cache?

Cool, Thank you i will try that and see if it works.
Mine does it. Not sure why but this fixes it......open Google talk, click on a status, and go "home". Works every time. Make sure you have talk ignored in you task killer too.

Is this just me? Every time i reply to a post, I get a force close. This has happened on almost every firmware I've tried.
Just me?
Same here, it crashes everytime, do not know, but I think this is not a firmware thing, but a xda app thing....
are you guys on Froyo or 2.1 ?
i'm using it just fine, no errors, i use it very often to check my PMs and post back on the go

Mine is a clean install and the latest version. Guess its just a bit crap then... much like the official UK ebay app as well then.
Oh to top it off my phone decided it had enough and went to sleep again.

Posted here earlier that my problems were gone, but I just had another FC after posting elsewhere...
Also, when trying to edit a previous message I seem unable to type anything; the keyboard appears on my screen, but touching it gives a feedback that is the same as touching in a textbox (I can move cursor and select text etc.instead of typing with the virtual keyboard that is displayed).

you could re-flash the rom, I've never tried the camera hack so I'm not sure exactly what it entails or how to reverse it besides just starting over.
I'm new to flashing rom and stuff but does it erase all apps

Yes it would unless you back them up somehow.
Are you running a custom rom right now?
No stock rooted why?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I found this:
"Be careful in Service Mode that you know what it is your changing. If you hork up your phone you can reset it by doing a Factory data reset in Settings / Privacy / Factory data reset."
from here
but be careful, you'll need to reinstall your apps if you do that, but if you flashed the rom again you'd have to do that anyways.
Thanks ill probably try a new rom any recommendations preferably one with good battery

I've had great battery with Macnut R13.
I've actualy never had below 24 hours unplugged.
but fair warning: some people say the opposite so I may have just got lucky.
It seems to be about 50/50 have good battery life or dont lol
Also I hear great things about Team Whiskeys roms.
as well as Auxura (Although the guy developing the rom recently stopped development on it)
if you want to stay with 2.1 you might try team whiskey
or if you like 2.2 then any of the above would be great roms
everyone has their own opinion though so you might try a few before you find one you like alot.
Okay one more question... let's say I flash a rom right now... then flash another tomorrow... will the one I did the day before be completely erased when I flash a new one I've heard of people experiencing bugs and this happened ..

Generaly yes you should not have a problem.
but if you do run into trouble you can use odin to start clean, in fact alot of people prefer to use odin to get back to stock before flashing any rom.
but its up to you, I generaly only use odin if things start acting weird (which is next to never)
Wait... isn't Odin how you flash new roms?
Also can u link me to a good tutorial on flashing roms I'm trying to search it from my phone using xda app but its taking forever

You can close this Someone else helped me out thanks for teying

At least this thread will serve as a solution to the next person has this issue. Loved the title of this thread, had to respond.
So how did you get the stock camera back? Mine keeps restarting my phone I want to restore it but there is no restore.txt
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Go to your files app.. then sgstools folder there should be a app called camera.apk
Get root explorer go to system > apps and delete camera.apk and the one under it is like camera.odex delete that too.
Now use root explorer to go to sgstools and move camera.API to system apps then go clear all data foe camera app reboot. Done.

Ok I love my epic but ever since I updated to 2.2 the orientation had been extremely slow my phone is stock and I've tried a factory and reformatting my sd. I took it to sprint and they told me it was the software, but when I looked at the demos in the store there was no orientation delay. Any suggestions?

I would say try to Odin the stock tar file and see if it helps
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
look thru the forums for the 'lagfix', its the adb command yamahasensorcalibutil or something like that.. its just calibrating your sensors... works great on a good install of most eb13 or ec05 install...
Use terminal emulator, if you don't have it yet get it from the market. Open it and type /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha place the phone on a flat surface, and hit Enter. Reboot the phone and sensors will function at normal speed.
You ca use adb also. Good luck

I believe you need to be rooted.

Oh yeah, sorry im always doing that, assuming users are rooted lol

Doh! +1 on rooting assumption...
For the short periods of time I have been on total stock builds, when I first loaded EC05, it had the least lag out of any.... try to reflash? Consider taking the plunge to root? We have the neglected bastard child of sprintsung... what they dont do or dont do right we have to do ourselves...
Callibrate it using the option in display settings while putting it flat on the underside of a table.
Trust me, it works.
See here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKECs764ayE
So it sounds like the only way to do this is to root my phone
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Well it seems laying the phone face down on the horizontal calibration helped

You can either root it and fix it, or take it to Sprint, have them ODIN it which won't fix it and have them order a replacement which takes 3 days.

Or you can calibrate it using the technique I posted a link to.

That doesn't fix the sensor lag, in fact for many people that has made it worse.
Feel free to read the original sensor lag fix thread if you don't believe me.

WOW! Thanks. Totally worked. You were right.
Has anyone got this to work on the Epic??? I installed it, and the program is able to understand my commands but I'm unable to hear any responses back. If you got this to work, could you give me a step by step on exactly what you did?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I just installed it and I can here it speak. Make sure your have media volume up. I'm running acs frozen.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Also I have both the speech and conversation mode on in the settings. And make sure you have pico tts installed. The app itself is not that accurate. I like "voice actions infinity" a lot better.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yea I think there is something wrong then. Because I downloaded other apps like Vlingo and Voice Search and again, the program understands me but when it speaks back to me, I can't hear anything. My media volume is turned up. Do I have to add something to my phone? This is so frustrating.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Ok...go to your phone settings--voice input and output--text to speech settings--default engine--pico tts. Let me know how it goes please.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yea I went there and I selected Pico but it dosen't do anything. I even tried downloading espeak tts and when I go to select that engine it force closes. It seems like I either have something disabled or I'm missing something that won't allow me to use tts. By the way, Im able to hear fine while using a navigation program, its just anything else, I'm having problems.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
i think navigation is different since it's not actually reading anything to you from a text. are you running a costume rom or r u stock? have you tried restarting your phone after enabling the tts?
Im using the epic revolution fat free rom too by the way. I just sent a pm to the developer asking him was there something excluded from the rom that is not allowing me to hear from these programs. Hopefully he gets back to me as soon as possible.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I was just about to suggest contacting the developer. As long as you have tts enabled you should be good to go. It looks like an issue with the way your phone or rom is handling its text to speech engine. post his reply here because im sure others would like to know also (if in fact its a problem the rom). I wish i could be of any more help bro.
No doubt. I will let you know what he say. If he doesn't respond, I will post my question to the actual rom thread to see if someone could help me. Thanks!

Mine was not working either for about one minute..till i went to download that app they pretty much shove down your mouth when u first open the app. It may seem like it doesnt install..even the comments beneath will say it doesnt install...but it does..just on your sd card. It will create a folder. Go back in the app and Iris is working like a charm!!
