What do u mean they don't work? Try to reboot your phone and give it another go, worst comes to worst go to recovery and do a factory reset and try again. If not I'd think about returning it as faulty.

thanks for the reply i meant the test on my ambient light sensor score fail. i notice it when i put it on auto brightness...brightness on my phone does not change at all..i did a factory reset and still the same...can you give procedure to do a hard reset? what shall i do? tnx..only those 2 fail on my results the ambient light sensor and the g sensor,,,g means gyroscope?
Both g-sensor and light sensor fail for me too. Wouldn't worry about it too much.
Download CPU Z app and it'll show what sensors u have
hello, i got 550ml and light sensor in SIMMI test work if you use a torch or something to the capteur it will change light and Pass the test , Anyway , in auto brightness , the light don't change even if i use a torch .
So its probably a bug , and my gsensor fail too , but no need and its normal i think,.
I send a mail to asus supp about the lighsensor , you can do the same if you want them to fix it since its proably software .
Sorry for my english , and hope for it to be fixed . Cya.
ok i will email them today ty for the info
Hi , can any one please paste what sub menu is under simcard_test and simcard_test 2 !!! Thanks
hi , in fact G sensor work too , you have to turn the phone in every direction (horizontal,vertical) and it will PASS.
there is no sub menu on sim test , it just say PASS when you have a sim in it .

Dude actually in asus you have two applications from which you can test the hidden menu of the mobile through secret codes
one is the phone dialer and other one is the calculator app
i found the instructions HERE
Dude, do you see that this is almost a year old post? And what you posted won't work on a custom ROM. Simmer down bud.
this really help for me

Hey .. maybe I found something new.
As far as I know you can't force compass recalibration. I only saw the screen first time I run the compass app. Even magnets close to my HD2 wont show the screen.
And it seems it would be needed. My compass very often shows clearly wrong heading.
And now the trick .. the recalibration works all the time, even without the screen ! Simply do the 8 move .. and the compass will start to show correct heading !
I'm running 1.43 rom btw.
When doing 8move, do you keep phone in vertical or horizontal position? Or does it matter at all?
It's easier to show then to describe:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP3d00Hr14o
Though I do it a bit slower.
Now I found there are more methods. Clearly nobody really understands what's going on. But this method above works for me.
got it, thanks
wait what? How is this a trick? HTC compas clearly says to do this if its not calibrated. What is going on around there?
I was hoping this thread was going to be a way of starting the compass without geting that annoying calibration screen.

Then you didn't read the thread... The OP was saying that sometimes even if the compass wasn't saying calibration was needed, it would show wrong resullts, so he was looking for a way to "force" calibration.
I work with industrial electronic compasses, and calibrating them usually involves turning them in all "3D" directions so that they can register max/min values on all axes. I do the same with my HD2 and it works well.
Yes .. the 'trick' is in that you don't have to see the screen and recalibration work all the time, not only after showing the screen.
It don't work
I tried to hard resset and many other things. There's no way of Digital Compass work for me. When I move the phone as 8, the maximum I get is a blank screen. (maybe it's because flip it software) but no mather how I try, never could use digital compass.
Anyone has a tip, a cab, or anything to help me make it work ? Thank you
Compass Device Sensor
Hi llucas
There is a software call "Z-DeviceTest" in google play store , it is a free app , you can download and check what sensors are avaiable in your device. If you have compass in your device, you should get "Tick" (refer -> device1.jpg ) on the compass Icon , if not you will get a"X Cross" (refer -> device2.jpg ) on the compass icon.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
I've had my Hero on Orange UK now for about 1 month.. I have been using various compass apps and even the spirit level apps.
All was fine until last week when I tried to use the compass and it failed to work/move..
I tried the spirit level apps and they have stopped working...
Is there a way to test the compass and G sensor to make sure what is happening ?
I did wonder if the driver may have been corrupted while I was trying the various apps. I have a lot of apps now on the phone, including paid for sat nav etc. It's my work phone and don't really want to send it back to Orange (or HTC) unless it is the last resort as it is needed daily..
Is there a soft reset that will reload the drivers ?
Any help would be appreciated
Have you tried resetting your gsensor calibration in Settings --> Sound and Display?
I didn't know we had a compass?... where?

I did have difficulty finding the calibration setting, seems a strange place to put it !
Anyway, I've now run the cal for the G sensor and it goes through the motions etc and says calibrated.
I guess if it physically didn't work it would throw up a failed to calibrate type error messge.
I just down loaded a simple spirit level prog (after taking all my similar progs off incase one of those was causing problem).
If I use the calibration setting on that it doesn't even move, that is what is making me feel more inclined (Could be a joke there !) to think that it is the drivers that are faulty and HTC's G sensor cal works at a lower level....
ddotpatel: The compass facility is (was !) very good. Some of the apps are better than others and are faster to respond. Just type in compass in market place, loads of free ones to try..
I really could do with finding a full original driver pack to re install. That may cure my problem...
Failing that, is there a proper SOFT RESET for the Hero, not just power off or take battery out. Something that forces it to reload drivers etc...
Thanks again for taking the time out to reply..

Ok,.... Next thing to do is to uninstall all compas applications,... Then reboot,... then calibrate gsensor again,... then reboot,... install compas app, try again.
If that still fails,... I'd run an RUU to restore back to factory set.
RUUs can be found in the sticky at the top of the development section,...
[ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links
Well that did the trick,
4 re cals and re boots then downloaded new compass app, works a treat now.
I will have to keep checking if all is well. Try the same trick again if not....
Thanks
Phil
p.s it did come up this time with aborted calibration a couple of times but now seems stable.
Glad it helped pal.
Do us a favour, edit the title in your 1st post and put [SOLVED] at the start or end of it.
Peace.
hey guys ...
I GUESS NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN HELPING ME OUT ,
I ASKED THIS BEFORE,MANY TIMES,MANY THREADS, BUT NO RESPONSE SO FAR....
THE ISSUE IS ----------->>>
i am really stuck wid this problem , i am using the BOYPPC-GINGERBREAD-GOEX-V2 version currently
and i cant turn off the hardware button backlight completely off , neither by cyanogen mod settings nor by using any app .
earlier i used to use this app called ( ** adjbrightness**) to turn off the button backlight but it is not working in this rom.
IS THERE ANY SOLUTION OR ANY OTHER TWEAK /TRICK TO COMPLETELY TURN OF THE BUTTON BACKLIGHT IN THIS BUILD ???
GUYS PLEEEEEEEZ HELP ME WITH THIS.....I REALLY WANNA TURN THEM OFF !!!
why don't you post in that build's thread. I'm sure users who had that problem would tell you how they solved it. and if it can't be solved, the Dev might fix it in the next release
Can't find that Rom?

Hi, just go to Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Display > Automatic backlight and check Use Custom. Then go to Edit other levels and add 0 to Buttons.

thanks but even this did nt help ....
i have the exact same cyanogen mod settings but even after putting the values '0' '0' '0' '0' and then saving nd applying it,
the button backlight did nt turn off.
any other method ???
or any clue what could be the problem ??
Why is it so important for you to turn them off?
Please keep in mind, that our beloved hd2 originally doesn't run android and so the hardware also doesn't play nice with all software.
I think the button backlight is controlled by the liblights.so. As far as I know there are three different versions of them, one with working notifications and limited auto backlight, one with fully working auto backlight and NOT working notifications and one with working auto backlight and limited working notifications.
...already used them all, but can't remember, that controlling the button backlight was working in one version.
So guess it's a kernel related issue.
So you could try builds with different kernels: tytungs kernel is the most spreaded one, and I mean here it's not working, so try gpcs, rafingas, mdjs, bauner(?)...maybe youve got luck.
Maybe you can also contact tytung and ask if its a kernel issue.

Long tap on it and select "App info", then tap "Turn Off" button to disable it.
I also turned off "Samsung Link" app on my Note 3.
Tried clear cache, so far so good
Edit: Clear cache did not work, had to freez the app using Titanium
hm
Ok so looks like the best idea is to disable the app so will do that.
Is there any reason why i might not want to do that though what dose the app actually do and it really should just work the first place should it not? ??

That happens on screens with technology SuperAmoled are pixels burned to maintain the same image a long time, fortunately the solution is quite simple, download the " AMOLED Burn -in Fixer" app from Google Play, then open it you give click option invert colors from accessibility and give it to begin test , so leave it for 30-40 minutes, you can repeat the operation on a daily basis until the pixels back to normal , Greetings !

Just you need more time, because every time you make the process , your home screen will be the same and the pixels will continue " keeping " the images on the screen , it is an inevitable problem in Amoled screens , greetings !
