Hi all,
I have had my Vega for two weeks now and my G-Sensor has stopped working. I am currently running Fuji-Vega Modded Rom based on Modaco Rom v0.7.
I have put back the original rom back on from the Vega website Version 1.10 but the G-Sensor still done not work.
How can I check if there is a problem with the hardware before I take to back PC World/Currys.
Many Thanks
Pav
Hi PavSingh!
I also have the same problem, the gsensor stoped working. No screen rotation and also the games doesn`t works.
I have Corvus5 with SP1.
Someone have the same problem? how can i fix it?
Thanks
Have you tried a reboot. I have had this a couple of times and a reboot has fixed it
yes, I also wipe and reinstall corvus5 and corvus5sp1 and the accelerometer doesn`t work
I am starting to think that something on the sensor is broken
Thanks
try to move the switch on top of the tablet...
Ok thanks a lot. The problem was that switch, i think that switch is to lock the buttons not to lock the gsensor. The kids have been playing with it and the have changed the switch.
Thanks a lot.
hi,
i installed cm 7.1.0. after a week or so, the touchscreen stops working properly. i wiped using the calkulkin erase all zip. tried flashing again and erasing then other stable version. touchscreen continues to play up. finally flashed with sun rom. home key and eome keyboard keys still dont work. any suggestions?
cheers paul
It's obviously a hardware issue if it persists across ROMs (Not that a ROM can ever cause a touchscreen to play up randomly)
which bit
thanks 3xeno,
any ideas on which bit - controller or screen itself? I can replace the screen and the receiver.
Cheers Paul
I have similar problems any progress with this?
Hi all, I was wondering if you could help with an annoying issue I'm having.
I made a big mistake by updating to an ICS Rom, it worked fine apart from the accelerometer which stopped 100%. I did a backup, but system crashed and that's the end of that backup
1: I've since downgraded to Honey Comb Acer_A500_7.14.14_COM_GEN1, but Accelerometer still won't work, I don't know why, is there some fix or file to replace or anything like that.
2: Second question, because I updated to ICS the boot loader got updated also, is there a way to revert the boot loader back to the original so the end product would be a 100% original
This is a 16GB UK version of the A500, so any help would really be grateful. Even if I can get both the boot loader and OS to original I can then send it off to Acer for repair.
Kindest Regards to all

Man, I don't have an Acer iconia, but I have a Samsung galaxy player 5.0 and I just experienced the same issue after trying an ICS ROM.
When I searched for a way to solve my problem, I've seen many many users (increasingly, indeed) with the same kind of problem. It's hard to think that so many users are having accelerometer hardware fail. I believe it's not physical problem, mostly because this kind of issue happens after ppl try modding their phones/tabs or changing roms. I've seen some users talking about removing a sensorfile yamaha.cfg and trying to reboot the device. That didn't solve my problem, or executing:
"sensorcalibutil_yamaha"
It is under /system/bin/, you can see that with root explore.
Unfortunately, didn't work for me. Hope it works for you.
Best regards.
Thanks for your reply, I found a way of down grading the bootloader and OS to 3.0.2 which fixed it, then updated the odds to the latest and back working 100%.
Hello, same issue for me, accelerometer doesn't work anymore! I had yesterday the official ICS fota. Is there a patch somewhere for this problem?
after official Acer ICS update - Accelerometer quit?
My A500 pad just quit doing auto-rotate just about 30 mins after I applied the "official" ICS update to my device. I haven't done anything different, I did lock the pad into portrait to read some stuff, but unlocked it (manual switch) and it was fine then all of a sudden - it stopped rotating between portrait and landscape. The switch now has no effect on it. Of course there's not a setting to change the rotation either. Argh? I was so excited to get ICS - not this goofs on me? I see quite a lot of posts about people who experience this from hacking around on their tablet or phone - I haven't hacked on this one at all - its the "official" stuff... Reset didn't help.

I need to do the exact same thing. Could you please let me know what you did to start all over and get all the OTAs?
Thanks!
One could conjecture that if the accelerometer is stuffed, so would the orientation detection be.
Cause and effect?

Same here but a reboot cured it.
anyone find a fix for this ? im on the official with no root ics update and mine has also stopped auto rotating.
What did you use to do the downgrade back to 3.0.2?

The only solution I found so far is keepin rebooting, eventually at some point accelerometer starts to work.

If any off you had a leak and altered boot loader prior to install, it may have caused that. You should have had a 2 step optimizing process in the update, when I tested it on a leaked/flashed back version the bootloader was wrogn and that issue resulted. The stock had no issue and went through the full hardware optimizing process.
Also you shoudl have applied the market place update first, it has a pre fix to prepare it for patching.
Hey guys, i also have the same issue with accelerometer. I downgraded the a500 to Honeycomb and it fixed now.
I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516012
Rollback OS + Bootloader back to Rooted HC 3.2.1

the guides to rollback posted above can be used on an official pad , with no hack or root stuffs ?
No, it rolls you back to rooted 3.2.1. with stock bootloader. Once ur back, you can load your official 3.2 rom on an SD, use Pwr + Volume down to update to it. Then OTA to ICS.
Just saw a guy posted a system of methods to completely wipe all the system files (not just most) and clean install ICS which supposedly fixes the accelerometer problem.
Accelerometer / ICS
I sent my tab back to Acer for repair, they say they replaced the "motherboard" and it did work fine on stock ICS as returned for a while. Periodically it would stick in orientation and not auto-rotate, but a power cycle with a few minutes in between seemed to always bring it back ok. NOW - nothing I do brings it back - its working the very same way it was when it originally experienced this issue. I don't want to send this slab back to Acer every couple of months and deal with setting it back up when they ship it to me a week or so later. This is rediculous or am I just being picky?
Anyhow - How bout a reference or link for the info on downgrading, wiping ICS and re-installing from scratch as mentioned above? That would be helpful if I knew where to look.
UPDATE: This morning, based on another post about finding errors in the bootlog, I downloaded the bootlog capture app, ran it, and poof - the auto-rotate function came back to life - like magic. I'm sure it was NOT the app, but rather the fact that I had powered down the unit and let it sit all night long without touching it or powering it on/off, etc. so at least for now, I won't be sending it back to Acer for Warranty repair (AGAIN). BUT I might be listing it rather quickly on ebay and shopping for another tab that doesn't have this issue....
I have had this issue and normally a power cycle fixes it. I did have one time where it did not but I found an article that said to do a hard reset. You do this with a paper clip pushed into the very small hole. I did not lose any data.

Hello! I have a strange problem after the last update of Android 5.0.1 Somehow the touch light buttons (those near home button) doesn't work at all.
What can I do ? I flash the ROM, wipe everything, nothing seems to work.
I open to suggestions or if the is app that could fix this let me know!
Thanks in advance
I'm having the same problem but I'm not sure if its because of the last update or not.
I'm using an app called Back Button to workaround this for now.
Would also be interested in other solutions.
I have the same issue too but after a factory reset, touch light work
Hi everyone,
My phone was functioning very well until a few weeks ago. My keyboard sometimes freezes the phone when using messenger/viber etc. It starts happening randomly and it drives me crazy and it also stops randomly.
The issue is that after typing the keyboard freezes and the whole phone hangs for a few seconds. I first thought that it is a Nougat bug because I am on the beta, but I have a colleague which is on official Marchmallow and he has identical issues.
I will anyway do a full factory reset after the final Nougat is out, but I want to prevent this from happening again so I wanted to ask if someone is having similar issues and what could be the root cause? Did anyone found a fix besides doing a factory reset?
Thank you in advance.
Try booting up to recovery and do a clear cache... I believe it's due to the clipboard app... And after that see whether it makes a difference...

Thank you, I will try it next time when it starts and will report back here.
Hello,
I have tried clearing the cache from the recovery but the issue is still there. So does anyone has other ideas what could be causing it?
Hi everyone,
Now after I made a full wipe and flashed the official Nougat BTU, it worked OK for a few days but now again I have the same problem. I have just a few apps installed on my phone and I can not figure out what causes it :/
Is there anyone else experiencing this?
