I'm running MIUI 1.7.15.1 and noticed when playing Doodle Jump that the level is off to the left. The game doesn't seem to have any calibration options. My HTC phone has a calibration option, Hungry Shark has a calibration option, but not this program. Is there any way to calibrate?

Greetings,
Just wondering if anyone has noticed that if you use Spare Parts, go to Sensor Usage, and under "Android System" it seems to use a ton of sensor, without any real explanation as to what it's all about.
I had this problem with my Galaxy Tab and the Gallery3D application (it also happens on the DHD if I'm not careful) and it drained the battery like crazy.
Any explanation, fix, or workaround? Any thoughts would be appreciated
That's really not an issue, you notice that when your sending a SMS and you hold it landscape the orientation changes? That's because a sensor told your DHD to switch the orientation.
Without them being on all the time your smartphone wont be so smart as you'd have to change the brightness of your display every time it gets dark, you'd have to manually change the orientation. You get the picture.
RE: Sensor Usage and Accelerometer
Hi,
I am aware of that but that is not the issue. On all other android phones and devices (I have 2 android tablets and 3 other phones) the Sensor Usage is not like that. It won't be activated even when the phone is "off" or in hibernation mode.
Like I said, I used to have this issue with my Galaxy Tab which caused it to use alot of battery (Gallery 3D App) and I did have a workaround which improved battery life significantly.
Any other suggestions would be kindly appreciated.
Gaming ofcource. I know.
But im wondering what "gimmicky" features are the most power sucking.
What about hand gesture during standby? Does that leave camera on?
What about finger hover?
What about the rest?
Wich are not heavy on battery and wich are?
Thanks.

The screen of course.
To maximise battery life, it is recommended, you do not use the phone at all.
I guarantee you will have outstanding battery life if you hardly touch your phone at all.
I haven't done extensive testing, but I have noticed that even though I get incredible deep sleep over night (95%), my phone still uses a lot of battery over an 8 hour period (15-25% - as opposed to my SGS3 which would use <10%).
I thought at first maybe it was the Air gesture -> Quick glance feature, as it will have to monitor the gyroscope constantly and if the phone is flat (which it is over night for me), then it'll have the gesture sensor on as well. Last night I tried turning that feature off (actually i turned all motion and gesture, smart screen, and air view features off), and there was no noticable improvement in battery life overnight, so it seems that my problem is still there, but also that the gimmicky feature doesn't actually appear to use too much battery.
Note; the gesture stuff doesn't use the camera, it has it's own sensor.
the Air view (i assume this is what you're referring to when you say finger hover) feature won't use more battery as it's only active in certain apps, so will only use more battery while those apps are active.
Ok that sounds actually quite good made by samsung then...although weird you lose so much battery. Maybe the rom and kernel you have?
Maybe some applications you use ? Try WakeLock Detector or Greenify from Google Play Store
i think the most power battrey goes to screen. and second goes to signal mobile network.if the signal low,that will consume more battrey because always search for better signal
The screen and signal. As above, the phone will consume extra battery searching/adjust the signal to make sure you have a good reception. There are different schools of thought but I have most battery life when on WiFi.

Well let me place it to you from the most to least :
1-Screen
2- CPU Runs (any apps using too much CPU )
3- signal and 3g/4g
4-Smart Features and camera
5- music , and mostly all the rest

And keep it permanently connected to a good wall charger! :laugh:
Q: Which of these two uses more juice?
for example, an app to automatically turns on the screen uses proximity sensor
and another app that uses g-sensor (or when shaken) turns on your screen
if these app is turned on for a whole day, which of them use more battery?
note that it must work even if the screen is off.
Don't speculate, measure the current.

i found this . hope it helps
[4] Q: I'm experiencing high battery usage, why?
A: The app should use about 6 percent extra energy per day if you are not using too much the Turn Screen On by Motion feature. If you frequently lay your phone face up on a table and the Turn Screen On by Motion Timeout is too long, the battery consumption can be much higher. Because the CPU has to be constantly analyzing the data of to acceleration sensor to catch the movement when you lift up the device. Thus if you want to reduce the battery usage it's recommended to keep your phone often lying face down when it's on a table. Because in this situation the proximity sensor is responsible for turning the screen back on which uses much less energy. Moreover, please, keep in mind that the android en-built battery consumption measurement can show much higher results, because it shows the battery usage relatively to another apps. If the phone was not in use or the measurement period was short, it looks like my app uses too much energy however there was not too much energy used all together.

Waking up a device involves the hassle of picking up our device, reaching for the power button, and then pressing it to turn the screen on.
However, using the gyrometer and proximity sensors, gravity screen wakes your device up right as you pick it up, or hover your finger over the proximity sensor!! Neat!
Pros :
Small and light-weight
Doesn't hog up on RAM
No appreciable effect on battery life!
Various options to tune the settings to your liking!
Helpful for devices with broken power buttons
Cons :
None. You say?
This app has been around for a while, and it works seamlessly with our device.

[APP][2.2+] Gravity Screen > Turn Screen On/Off Automatically - Keep Screen On
It doesn't seem to show up on the stock battery consumption screen but on BBS and Gsam, GravityScreen was consuming almost 7 to 12% battery per day.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I even turned off the wake by motion and all other accelerometer related services and kept only Proximity Screen On and Proximity Screen Off options ON.
Any suggestions?

Yes I frequently lay the phone face up for see the notification led....

Update it and try using only the Proximity wake and sleep..
Battery drain is minimal. [emoji16]

i will try, but i have already updated app, i can't live without table mode
hey guys,
i tried today mirroring my navigation app to the EPD screen.
in my mind, it should save some battery, but actually checking the battery percentage, I didn't notice any improvement over just using the main screen.
what do you think guys? does it really save battery?
THX
Using the epd saves battery only if it doesn't need to be updated. If the screen is redrawn all the time then the savings are minimal if not nonexistent. Personally I habe disabled all the animations from developer settings, but mainly it depends on the app how efficient it is.
You might also want to look at this: http://m2appmonitor.com/google-maps...e-2-most-popular-android-gps-navigation-apps/
I suspect that the screen is actually not the most draining thing in the app. .. I found that with Waze my old Samsung phone would barely be able to charge even when plugged in and running the app... and you don't need that sort of power when looking at the screen!
