My auto rotate has stopped working. Only way to go to landscape is by opening the keyboard. I suspect one of the sensors may be at fault. Raging thunder was much easier to play when it was working now the turning is sort of sporadic. I tried reflashing to no avail. Anyone have any ideas? I have to take my epic to sprint because the left side of my screen is lifting so ill mention that while I'm at it. In the meantime is there anything I can do on my own?

Try the following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926098, you also may want to try toggling the auto rotation box in the settings, and reboot your phone
Also, if your taking it into sprint, you may want to restore your phone back to the stock rom and recovery first, if it isn't already.
Also if you're using a custom launcher make sure the rotation settings on that don't conflict with the original settings. Sometimes you gotta turn the custom launcher's settings off.

My screen is starting to lift on the left side as well. I've dropped my phone once or twice; but they weren't long/hard drops. Maybe this is why?
my left side screen was slightly raised from day 1 out of the box.
Yea it really sucks. Luckily sprint is awesome enough to fix or replace my phone at the service center near me as long as I'm paying for the insurance... and as long as they can prove that I didn't do the damage to it. I can't stand the screen lift more than I can stand the auto rotate. It scares me lol

Alright little update.
I got tired of stock di18 after going back to it experiencing lag on every 2.2 rom I tried. Just flashed the new midnight rom and NOW everything is.zippy as help with no lag. Just so happens my autorotate works now. Did the autorotate lag fix and now its perfect. Might I add gps works perfectly too.
...finally my epic is now finally epic. 1100/2000 in smartbench. That numbers rounded I don't remember the exact figure but point is I luv these devs!

Not sure if this was mentioned, but if you do the auto rotate lagfix: sensorcalibutil_yamaha method, and you get "failed" results, you can go to data/system and delete (or rename):
Ms3c_yamaha.cfg
(I renamed it to ms3c_yamaha.bak)
Then reboot, use the sensorcalibutil_yamaha method again, the cfg file will have been recreated, and it should work.

Make sure you lay your phone down on a table that is level then start the calibration. When its complete; reboot.
If this doesn't work then idk what to tell ya :\

I tried this method -- Seemed to work at first. But now my phone is stuck in the 270o position. Turned off auto-rotate in settings just so it would stay vertical. Any suggestions?
I've tried doing the command line with the phone horizontal with the edge of the phone on the table. Also tried it with the back of the phone on the table.
I have this problem also. Flashed to one of the froyo roms. Did a calibration, noticed it seemed "stuck" or slow to auto rotate. Flashed back to stock and and went back to EE middle problem was still there. During the course of the night it stopped auto rotating. Odin back to full stock and no fix.
Do the manual terminal command line mentioned earlier in this thread to fix the issues even after rolling back to Eclair. I believe it has something to do with the built-in Froyo calibration in settings. I did not have the auto-rotate lag until messing with that. Very annoying.
One thing I noticed is that because of the bump at the bottom of the Epic when you lay it on a flat surface to calibrate, it's off by about 15 degrees. Which makes it take longer to switch to the vertical orientation. I did it with a small bubble level laying across the top and it responds to vertical much faster.

No. And unfortunately, even though this fixes the problem; It cannot be baked into roms. Every person's sensors are completely different. No one cfg seems to match more than one person. I'll prolly toss a script to do it in quantum 1.6.
Thanks everybody for your support and taking the time to help out on this matter. !!! Keep up the team work !

I am running dk28 and haven't had any issues with gps that seem t be all over the forums. When I updated to the new google maps my gps isn't as accuruate as it was ( still pretty close but not as close) and basically when I turn left, it turns right, I go right, it goes left and its a bit annoying.
I uninstalled the update and it still was messed up. Tried re installing and still a no go. Anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone know what I can do to fix it, preferably without flashing back to 2.1 through odin and all that mess?

I was recently having problems with the compass and Navigation going the wrong way. Intrerestingly enough I calibrated the accelromater and it fixed the issue. The phone no longer thinks South it North. I used the calibration method through the Connectbot below. In Froyo there is setting to calibrate it right through the GUI.

I was able to recalibrate my g sensors as follows ..
This worked for me but I'll take no responsibility if it mucks something else up
1. Download a terminal app from the market
2. Enter one line at a time.
su
/system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha
3. Follow the onscreen directions, while making sure you device is flat.
pay attention to the bump at bottom on back.
I hung said bump off the edge of table
I preformed this AFTER flashing to stock and then flashing my former ROM.
So it was not done in 2.2"

I'm running on CM7 and sometimes i notice that my evo's touch is COMPLETELY out of calibration wher ei have to reboot. for example, if i touch the home key, it will tap on something at the top of the screen, etc...its like everything is complete uncalibrated. Has anyone else experienced this?
Only when my phone is plugged into a third-party charger, and even then it's sporadic.
The evo has a drinking problem. It's just a hangover and will subside shortly. Don't worry.

try a different ROM..
or make sure you wipe everything... 3 times..
there is even a mod that can make sure your phone is rally clean. look for it.
or your phone just does not like that ROM.
Actually, when my wonks out, all I have to do is change to a different home screen (as in swipe to the left or the right), and it resets.
Rom. Issue. Either in your download Or the Rom itself Or your installation. I have had 2 out of 15 roms do that and I will never use them again. On to the next one lol.
I have never had this problem.
Only experience this while being on the charger

Can't say I have had that happen. Only the ghost Haptic Touch. lol Like the phone will vibrate/wig out in your pocket when it has not been touched. Only happened to me a few times before though.
I had rotation lag on my Syndicate 1.1 rom,so i applied yamaha rotation lag.
Now my epic's rotation is messed up,when i open my settings,contacts(or any app that rotates) it turns to landscape mode!
I Odined and repartitioned 3 times,applied yamaha rotation fix few times,regular rotation calibration and reset NVRAM and nothing works.
Any suggestions?Is there a "hard rotation reset" or something like that?
My girlfriend threw the phone few times but that was about a month ago,and i just started having this problem yesterday so i doubt that has anything to do with it.
Edit:
And when i do "Horizontal calibration" the ball is not in the middle of the target like it should be but all the way at the bottom and it stays there even after calibration.
Im thinking about checking "Phone Bootloader Update" or "Flash Lock"(whatever that is) in Odin because nothing else seems to work.
Update:Fixed(hopefuly it lasts) it by Odining to DK28,mods can delete this.
Update2:Rotation lag is back,oh well i reather have lag than my rotation be messed up.
Go to syndicate frozen 1.2 and then try the yamaha thing
Out could be a bug our something

Yours is easy,backup and flash another rom that has the calibration then restore backup.
I know that Syndicate 1.1 got it and 99 percent of all roms do,or try to calibrate upside down-just put your phone upside down underneath a table and do regular calibration in settings menu.
If those two dont work let me know.
well i used to run syndicate 1.01 updated every time they did all the way to 1.2, every time ive had to re-calibrate with terminal. also i did try it with my phone upside down with the part i needed to click hanging of the edge of the table, still slow to rotate. any other ideas? thanks for all the help i really do appreciate it!

This what i did and beleave me this is the only way:
1 Odin to DK28 and check Nvram clear and repartition
2 Calibrate the phone in settings
3 Odin to DK28 like u did first time
4 Calibrate the phone using yamaha
5 Calibrate using settings upside down
6 Flash EC05 and calibrate using yamaha and settings
7 Flash your rom and do upside down method,but dont use yamaha because u might mess up your phone.
Yeah it seams that Odining to DK28 fixes alot of problems that EC05 and other odins cant fix,dont know why but dk28 fixed a few issues that was unfixebale otherwise like my boit samsung logo dissapering.
wow thats alot for just a few seconds of rotation time. haha so what i di is just turn of auto rotate and i just slide the keyboard out when i want it sideway. i was hoping for something simple in the terminal. thanks for your help though man. maybe when they actually release gengerbread we will find a way for it to work
Well. It worked up until about 20 mins ago. Then randomly just stopped working. Ive rebooted, shut down, enabled and disabled the feature in settings. Fixed permissions for the heck of it. Cleaned the screen. Reset calibration, etc. Nothing seems to work. I can double tap to shut the screen off easily, and it works flawlessly, but trying double tap to wake is completely useless. Any suggestions?

Okay. So after hours of tapping. Which might i add. My fingers hurt, I am now able to activate the screen. Pausing after each tap, using my finger print area to tap "not to be confused with finger tip". The screen will activate. Also note, the standard two taps works sometimes, but with four presses, i seem to get the best results. Give it a try people. I have a theory the hardware has not failed. But yet, the activation area pixel size value changed. Either due to a conflicting app install. A intermittent system glitch etc

I'm having the same issue with my G2. Knock-on/off was working fine. Had the phone in the sun for a little while (maybe 2 hours) and the knock-on has stopped working completely. Used a drawing app on my screen and found no dead pixels or strips. Knock off still works perfectly though.
This could also be an issue with your proximity sensor. If something (screen protector, finger, dust, etc.) is blocking your proximity sensor, it could be reporting to the phone that it is in a pocket, and to keep the screen off. Try to clean that area, and avoid obstructing the sensors "view". As for the leaving it in the sun, you could have damaged the sensor? You could test it by making a call real quick and see if the screen turns on when you pull the phone away from your face.

Your screen turns also on with very very low brightness or it is off? When u look really really close u can see it...for example hold power button and u can hardly see the white power off/reboot popup...but i dont know where the problem can be...germany d802 version..(Sorry for my BAD english)

This^. For me I have to use my entire thumb or even palm, but it occasionally works.(still like 1/30 tries). This leads me to believe that it is software related. This one issue is killing me. I hate using the power button on the back so I only used knock on. Now that it's not working I'm hating this phone. Knock off works great and I know knock on is kernel based so maybe someone can create a kernel that fixes this issue.
This did work for me. Fixed the knock on feature on my D802.
Credit: Smith I Run (Thread from android central. Can't post link to thread)
There is a solution; (not sure about it, my friend had the same problem and he fixed it with this method)
Open dialer menu and type;
5689#*980# (Sprint)
3845#*801# (T-Mobile)
3845#*803# (AT&T Canada)
3845#*802# (International)
3845#*800# (At&T)
3845#*980# (Verizon)
And when hidden menu is showed up, go to "Settings"
and go to "Update Touch Firmware".
The touchscreen won't work until after 5 seconds, Wait for it and if touchscreen gets working, exit the menu.
Lock the phone and try knocking on the screen, It should be working :laugh:
