i have recently flashed my blade with the Swedish_Spring_RLS5 rom. the rom worked fine. however the autorotate feature did not work anymore. neither does the compass (tested with compass app). since then i have upgraded to gen2 and flashed cyanogen mod 7.0.3. autorotate still does not work. any ideas on why this is the case? or any manual rotation workarounds? the second best solution (after getting the autorotate back to work) would be to configure the hard buttons in a way that holding down the volume up button would rotate the screen. is there a way to achieve this? thanks in advance!
edit
i have narrowed the problem down. it appears to be a kernel issue. the sensors (esp the accelerometer) do work with swedish spring and softbank kernel. is there a way to get the softbank kernel available for ss to work with cm7?

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?
Hello all,
My Iconia A500's auto screen rotation just suddenly went dead on me. Flipping the lock toggle near the volume buttons on and off doesn't do anything.
I've tried resetting the device via the reset button, factory reset it via the settings menu as well as the recovery menu (oh yeah, it's rooted, currently using thor's CW recovery v.1.5). I've also tried installing another ROM, deleting the cache partition and dalvik cache, fix permission, all to no avail.
I don't think its faulty gyro since I can still play NFS just fine. Its just refusing to auto rotate the screen.
Any of you guys ever experience this? Or maybe have any ideas I can try out ?
Thanks in advance!
hello, are you using thor ROM?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I did, just to see if it can fix the issue (the auto rotation went dead while i used a rooted stock rom). why?
Oh, I'm aware that Thor's newest ROM doesnt support the hardware autorotation toggle. I've tried the software toggle without any effect.
Hi all, I just got a Defy+ and I noticed that auto rotation is not wotking. Phone is always in portrait mode (auto rotation is enabled in options), I tried couple of roms and result is same. In CM roms compas calibration is working but screen is still stuck in portraid mode. Flashing officialy SBF didnt help....Is this hardver problem or there is still hope for me?
Looking at these pictures Defy on the left (my defy) has problem with compas. On flat surface both show N correctly but when I place them up my defy is showing wrong N. Is there any way to fix this compas error?
Some news...each time I flash SBF auto rotation works only for 5 sec, so I startet to experiment with system/bin/akmd2. I was mowing that file all over the phone memory, giving him diferent permision...and I dont know how but after phone restart auto screen rotation worked. I was so hapy so I decided to flash CM10 and after that flashig autorotation didnt work again. I have tried to repeat steps with akmd2 file but no help. And one strange thing...I have flashed WiUi JB 3.1.21 and in that rom my autorotation is working. Unfortunately that rom is laggy for me and I cant use it. question is why autorotation is working on this wiui rom but not workign on official sbf and other cm roms? Can I use some files from wiui system/bin to put them into CM and make screen autorotation working again? Thx
Solved
All this time autorotation option didnt work and two days ago I have installed game from google market "Traffic Racer". After playing that game for 10 min I noticed that autotoration is working :fingers-crossed: . I thing playing that game with tilt somehove triggered my sensors again and now after flashing many roms autorotation is still workin.
Hi everyone! I have a hardware related issue here.
I have replaced the screen (+digitizer in a whole) and since then it is randomly going off and on. Interestingly it even did the same in recovery (TWRP 2.3) BUT not with every software! Installing the TWRP 2.6 or above stopped it happening in the recovery.
I have tried various ROMs so far. The Eclipse ver3 did not flicker, but it has a problem with the registering on a network here in the UK. Stock + stock based ROM (Rage 1.2) are also switching on-off. I am currently looking for a working ROM.
Please let me know if someone with the same problem can find one.
Also tried to play with developer options like Disable HW overlays or Force GPU rendering with no effect.
I wonder if it is a different hardware version of the replacement screen or what else can it be? (screen came from etradesupply)
Update - problem solved
Good news. Installing CyanogenMOD 11 solved the screen flashing issues and everything seems to work right. Thank you developers!
