G-sensor calibration not working

Ever since I had this HTC Tattoo, I couldn't manage to calibrate the G-sensor and therefore the display doesn't turn when I rotate the phone.
I always get the message "Calibration aborted".
Do you guys have this problem? Did you find a solution for this?
Please help!

Reset phone

Already did it. Still not working.

Did you fix the problem yet, you could try a different rom or even reflashing the one on the phone already.

same problem here.....

I did try a different ROM, still nothing.

Then it could be a hardware issue. If I were you, I would've looked for a replacement.

have you tried holding the phone at a tilt and then calibrating?

Yep, I did try that. Still nothing. I think it's just a hardware problem.

I saw this in the Hero forum and I think it might help. There are 2 ways of checking a hardware fault with the G-sensor:
- either the Bubbles game which does not depend on the OS for sensor data
- or the Sensor Debug app.
If anyone of these apps gives you a good response from the sensor, then it is a software fault and you should harass HTC for a software patch. That's what the Hero guys did and it seems to have worked for them (in that case it seemed to be some kind of permission problem with the calibration log file).

Yes Flash a different Rom..... This way you will know if its your roms fault or its hardware related
if that doesnt help theres a chance your phone overheated and fried the touchscreem module

i flash a new nand rom but still my touch screen is not working...........so any ways to fix the hardware problem.........

Yeah, get it fixed.
If you have a hardware problem then you need to replace the hardware obviously.
The digitizer ribbon is right underneath your end key and its a very common fault on HD2 as it tends to break after a while on random devices.
If it is the digitizer you will need to get it replaced. Flashing different roms isnt going to solve anything unless its a software problem which I very much doubt.

sometimes working and sometimes not
hello friends,
I format my SD card, downloaded the fresh rom from this forum, DFT nand Android,
Flashed the rom once again, all of a sudden my touchscreen starts working, which is an amazing thing for me, only problem is that out of 10 times 2 times it is not working and I have to press the green button(call) and then again I have to go back to the lock screen and this time touch screen is working.
Any Help why it is behaving like this.
Moreover I want to roll back to win 6.5 and how to do that.

yes you are right I think...........i have now tried each and every method and even restored the phone back to WM6.5 but then also my touchscreen is not working.
what I analyzed is that when its cold it starts working and when it become hot while charging or playing around with it just stops responding even in middle of the application.
so now I have to take the phone to the HTC work centre to get it fixed.

Weird HD2 unresponsive screen

Now I've read about a problem of the hd2 having digitizer problems and that only a replacement will fix the unresponsive touchscreen issue. But why is it that when I can get my touchscreen to work that it works flawlessly until it goes to sleep? Then i have to continually wake and swype and sleep over and over until it responds. It just seems very weird that after it wakes that it never seems to have a problem. I'm using the miui rom right now and have set the screen to never go to sleep. So I want to see how long it will go without this problem. Has anyone else seen this happening with their phone as well?

Make sure the kernel, and Rom are up to date.

I have that too on an AOSP Gingerbread rom. The screen is not unresposive per se but calibration seems off some times, strage for a capacitive screen.

ive had the problem with android before and there were a few different fixes ...
one fix was to turn off compatibility mode
another was kernel
ive also had the problem with wp7 ( nothing a few hard resets and patience couldnt cure )
either way good luck

well since my first post, i hadn't let the phone go to sleep once and it worked perfectly fine. so i decided to turn off compatibility mode and let it go to sleep.... and when i woke it and i slid my fingers down it actually worked. so far it's worked every time. why would compatibility mode mess up the touchscreen though?

i have NO earthly idea! just a little tidbit i picked from a dev. i would speculate but would end up looking and sounding foolish. so im going to quit while im ahead and have actually been of help :-D cheers

Where can i disable compatibility mode?

I get the same problem. I've used a ICS rom for a day or so and suddenly the lockscreen was unresponsive. I thought it was ROM problem, so I flashed Cyanogen 7, but the screen didn't respond as well... I flashed everything to stock (removing magldr and hspl) and the problem stayed... After several restarts the screen started to respond and now it works (sort of). The tricky thing is: sometimes when I go out from some app in android, the screen doesn't respond again. Locking and unlocking the screen fixes this, but only temporarily.
Did this ICS rom screw something (...hardware?!) or is it a pure coincidence that a few people encounters the same problem for the first time in such a short period of time...
And one more thing... my warranty expired 5 days ago... please help!!!

I had this same problem with my phone before my warranty expired; before I flashed any android roms on it, and while it still had stock WM6.5. I called HTC customer support and they had me send in the phone for repair. They replaced the digitizer and I haven't had the same problem since. It was wierd because in my mind is seemed like a software problem because it would respond nicely as long as the screen was unlocked and the instant it was locked the response was very crappy, sometimes it took forever to unlock my phone. So it might somehow be a hardware issue

spare parts!

I repair phone myself and i can say that i get A LOT of hd2's with this problem. For the most part it is the hardware because no matter what software you put on the phone it is just a matter of the luck you have to get it working. My hd2 broke 2 times b4 and it was always hardware. Htc must of messed up with the hd2 digitizer

from what ive seen in photos of the leo mobo it looks like the connection for the screen/digitizer (not sure on hardware) is located right behind red end call/power button and from being mashed off,on,off,on,etc loosens/damages connection.
or is the hardware screen issue just a complete shot in the darks chance?
OH ... ive had the software issue (fixed as i mentioned earlier) AND unrepairable (with my limited tools and balls to physically tear into this badboy) hardware issues.

well, it's been a few days and my phone still seems to be fine. it hasn't once locked up on me yet. i don't know why turning compatibility mode would fix this. or maybe the phones connectors were loose and are now miraculously back in at the same time i unchecked compaibility mode. the only bad thing was that this was happening the last couple weeks and i had given up and already ordered a sensation 4g. or well, guess i have 2 phones now

Its seems possible. Every since I replaced my digitizer with a non OEM one its has never failed on me again. And I hope it never does. There dam expensive.

Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Compatibility Mode
I also have this issue, therefore I just recently flashed my hd2 with Tytung's 4.0 ICS Rom. As expected, this didn't help very much.. What I am now going to try before I send my phone to HTC is to disable compatiblity mode. BUT, I can't seem to find this compatibility mode check anywhere. Could someone please guide me there?

..

Windows 7
I will be flashing my phone with w7 now, to see wether this is an android kernel bug / softare issue or if this relates to hardware. I also see a lot of people saying that after fixing the digitizer it works again, so it might actually be a hardware issue. I will post my feedback when I have tried with w7.

[q] no screen touches being recognized!!!

Hey XDA, Really need some help here, i'll bullet point my problem for ease of reading:
- 1st Nexus 4 bought from google had wi-fi issues so got replacement
- 2nd replacement nexus 4 was good for about 2 weeks
- randomly screen touches weren't recognized by phone so reboot fixed that
- got worse and more frequent
- now my phone does not recognize screen touches at all
- phone is completely unusable, power volume buttons work though.
- need to ask XDA before another replacement ///
WHAT I'VE TRIED:
- i was on stock, so i tried to reflash stock to get rid of gravity stock and stock kernel
- rebooting phone 3950280359283 times.
- cleared caches.
- asked google play support, they're clueless.
- problem was here before i was unrooted, on complete stock 4.4.2
- also wondering whether its a software or hardware problem. i assume hardware however.
- i still have warranty
ANY IDEAS?!? thanks.

Does a touch recovery recognize touches? If so, it could be a problem of your rom/kernel. Otherwise I think it's a hardware problem.

My screen works now. However it will still come back every now and then and is fixed by a reboot. When i made this thread it did not work for a whole day, so my device will probably breakdown again. When I use TWRP it does not recognize touches. A good decider. So i guess it is hardware?

I think so, but wait for another reply confirming that.

I'd say it's a hardware issue. Definitely get it replaced again.

Lmao. You're definitely right. It's really annoying they sent me another device with a WORSE problem. Gonna ask google for some sort of compensation. I don't really have time to fiddle with devices re-rooting them transferring all my data again and so on. Too much work.

[Q] [D802] Touch Screen uncalibrated after flashing

I've looked everywhere but haven't found a proper solution. I have an international D802 which after a lot of effort I was able to flash to KK but the touchscreen no longer functions properly - eg pressing one area would register one or more touches in anther area making it impossible to use the phone. If anyone has any idea to fix this please let me know. I have tried various roms including going back to a JB rom and the problem persists.
Thank you.

Even i am having the same exact problem which you have, i searched and didn't get any solutions yet.

Hi, I had an issue like this when I flashed the wrong tot file. It went away upon using the right one. whatever method you used, did you make sure to use the right files?

Anything worked for you?

I think we have following options:
1. Use mouse via USB otg to get to debugging mode to turn on adb than flash recovery and rom
2. Use mouse via USB otg to update the touchscreen driver via the hidden menu
3. Warranty
Can you get your device in adb mode?

Just managed to install recovery using autorec and lots of patience however touchscreen issues persist even in recovery (the touches are not accurate in recovery) so i think i will need to flash kernel as i think thats where the touchscreen drivers are.

Managed to flash CloudyG3. Still no good. The thing is that the touch is broken in CWM which means that its not the ROM, it's something else. I don't really understand the technical aspects but flashing Cloudy also flashes the kernel. Almost given up on this, too much time sunk.

I also had same issue and I flashed alot of different .KDZ and other custom ROMs too but the problem was always there.. so I went to the repair shop and he said that its a problem of eMMC chip so that needs to be fixed.. I have given the phone to him to fix it ...

Did you guys try updating the touchscreen firmware via the hidden menu? This is so frustrating, I've rooted/romed at least 5 phones/tablets and this is the first time Ive bricked something.

I am trying to go to the hidden menu and its not working at all .. So I will just have the touch replaced

I am not entirely convinced its the screen to be honest. I feel like replacing the screen does nothing about the software which control its behaviour. Just my 2c - if you want to go ahead with it perhaps get them to take responsibility - e.g., I replace the screen on your advice and if it doesn't fix the problem I shouldn't have to pay for the screen otherwise you might be throwing your money at a problem which we dont necessarily know the cause of.
Edit: Get a lgd panel not a jdi.

Ofcourse, if the guy is saying that after replacing the touch , it will be fixed and you pay 5000PKR then obviously i will check the phone before buying it otherwise i will not pay.. Simple
