It appears that there is a general issue with the G-Sensor after a screen replacement has been done. There are tons of users in the Android Q&A forum with the issue. The sensor works fine in winmo but not in ANY android rom after the screen has been replaced. I'm guessing its a hardware driver issue?
Please could someone tell us what info/data we can give to the ROM chefs and kernel gods so that they can take a look and fix this.

I have this same problem with one of my HD2's that had the screen replaced.. Everything works perfectly except the "G-Sensor"...
I posted the problem in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902129 a while ago, and been watching ever since... Havent seen any solutions, but more reports of the same problem been added to it daily... I'm also assuming that they changed the G-Sensor hardware along with the screen... Beacause it works perfectly in WinMo, and it dont in none of the Android Builds I've tried (CMYLXGOs all versions, Imilka's all versions, RAFDROID, CyanogenMod, etc)...
Everything works good on my Primary HD2, no problems at all... I'm hoping some Chef/Kernel developer might just take some time to check this out...
Have you guys went into Settings>Display>and ticked the check box for Auto-rotate screen?

That option is checked by default.. Even if You uncheck and check it, it still dont work... If You go into G-Sensor Calibration, the bubbles dont move at all... All those solution was posted in the thread, in the link above...
I'm really assuming is some hardware/driver problem... It worked fine with android, but after they replace the screen, it stopped working...

Sorry I did not click on the link and rad the other thread. If you go to calibriate your G-Sensor and it does not move then it sounds like either your internal G-Sensor hardware is faulty or not properly connected. I would make the tech you had work on your HD2 work on it again or take it to another repair shop.

It's a good point You have there... But I would be assuming that was the problem if the G-Sensor wasnt working in Windows Mobile... Everything works perfectly in WinMo, including the calibration... Thats another reason we have come to believe its a hardware upgrade or something similar...
I have the same problem. I bought an HD2 from someone in the Marketplace, and I can see from the pry marks on the bezel and the broken adhesive that the screen had been replaced at one point. I also believe there must have been some hardware revision that is still compatible with WinMo, as the same driver works unilaterally, but not with Android. Definitely tried most of the recent ROMs and different combinations of kernels, and cLK/MAGLDR, but it never works.
Charnsingh alludes to the G-Sensor code in the kernel in his [DEV] thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049170 (don't post unless you're a dev though), and says that it's pretty minimalistic. So maybe there's a solution out there, but the developers haven't gotten to the bottom of it. I'm watching that thread intently to see if there's anything cooking or if there's something I can help with.
I think there are quite a few users who are suffering from this.
If the devs need anything they have plenty of people to ask for debug info, etc.
I just wish someone had the time to have a look at this
have got the same issue, new screen, sensors stopped working, all the sensors that is, light, proximity, g-sensor, compass. and everything works in winmo (except the compass, don't know why) the interesting thing is, the proximity sensor does work, it just doesn't turn off the screen, but it does turn off the touch screen, and the g-sensor actually seems to work, i can calibrate, and the relevant files are updated (in /data/misc the bma150_usr and the akmd files are created and/or updated) and if i move during calibration, it is aborted. it seems as if there is something broken in software because the chip data is still being read and used somehow, just not piped to the right places...
Every sensor work fine here with except the g sensor
I guess its a kernel issue and not hardware relates
it work perfectly on wm6.5,but not work on any andriod rom.
i have the same issue
so no one is helping us???
i have the same issue too...
Same here works fine in windows but android will not work.
Also have screen replacement
SOLVED
my issue is solved now after motherboard replacement.
a few notes:
- as i eventually discovered, there was in fact a problem with the compass (aka the magnetic field sensor) which didn't work in any os. with this issue i had a good reason to send the phone back to the repair shop and they replaced the motherboard under warranty.
- i don't know what solved the issue, it's either [A] the working compass (which is somehow needed for auto-rotation to work - in android) or the new motherboard (which does not have compatibility issues with the new screen - in android).
so, please check wheather your compass is working or not.
if not, reflash to stock and send it back for a warranty repair.
I replaced the digitizer in my phone myself and the G-sensor works for me in Android.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS of threads and posts since 6 months and still nothing. About those sensors problems / screen replacements and still nothing... It's so sad, the HD2 is dying slowly. Lolz, let's keep the faith!!
+1 same problem...
Any solution???
Thx.
Same.
perfect on Windows.
not working, gyroscope, compass, screen rotation on any android.
no problem with proximity and light sensors.
I had tried screen rotations witout main flex (that holdss, vibration, camera, volume, wifi, buzzer)
And the sad point is I had replaced LCD-Digitizer together these are taken from a dead hd2. So my replaced LCD is 100% orijinal. I did not seperate chasis-button flex also.
VueFLO is working fine. I cant get any other G sensor apps to communicate with the G sensor, they all say they cant find it.. Please help, I've searched for hours and found nothing.

None of these apps are working, That is the problem...
I miss Athena but that WAS the worst keyboard I ever touched
In most cooked roms sensor is disabled- less use vs functionality. So don't bother, if you aim Sensor you need to return to stock rom.
Hi,
I own HTC HD2 and recently it stoped working and i had to send it to be repaired. They have changed the board because the CPU has malfunctioned. Since then accelrometer is not working in any rom. It only works in Windows. I could not find any answers except that the new board installed could be unsupported in android builds.
Any help is appreciated.

I also found out that several more users in Serbia have this issue. Anbody else? Plese help?
This is a Driver issues, maybe the new board has some different Component, but is not only the g-Sensor, the Magnetic Field and Orientation aren't Working, this kind of problem take to long time to be fixed, now that the developers are Focused on ICS. I'm thinking to sell my HD2 and Buy Another one.

Maybe it will work in ICS if only we had the patience to wait.
It is wery strange to use a phone that does not have any rotation whatsoever. You have to try and take a picture or to watch a klip that is stuck in portrait mode and want turn. I cant belive that no one has solved this yet. PLEASE HELP!
Hi,
I flashed my i9505 with a 4.3 GPE ROM and have no issues, save one.
When using Photosphere in the Camera App I can't get a proper picture done because the "frame" (white rectangle) drifts slowly to the right.
Everything elese works, I have been unable to find any definite fault with the sensors (although it's hard to be sure...) and already sent my phone back for replacement once. the new one has the same issue, only it's drifting to the right instead of the left this time.
I really hope somebody here can help me fix this since I love the Photoshpere function (used it a lot on my Galaxy Nexus) and really don't want to send the second phone back and hope the third one is going to be OK...
CPU-Z gives me slightly strange values for linear acceleration and 4-Axis Accelerometer, but I had that on the first S4 as well, so not sure it's a phone issue.
My Linear Acceleration Sensor tends to show -0.9ms² when the phone is lying flat on the table, my first one showed a steady -0.6m/s² in the same situation. Not sure if this has anything at all to do with the problem though.
I'd be extremely grateful if somebody could help me out here!
Thanks.
EDIT: Just found this thread at rootzwiki http://rootzwiki.com/topic/36213-42-tips-on-photosphere/ where there is a video that describes the problem quite well.
Does nobody else have this issue?

Install Elixir from the Play Store. You should be able to disable the sensor.
