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?
As a noob, I could not post this in the thread where it applied. I hope someone sees it and passes it along.
Problem: the tab does not automatically rotate the screen image when you rotate the orientation of the device. The lock switch is "unlocked". The problem arose after the ICS update was applied.
I found this link in another device forum that seems to be dealing with the same issue.

Basically, he replaced the accelerometor sensor driver files I think.
Hopefully one of the developers here will see this and can hookup with the other author to see what is really going on finally.
Until then, we need to keep a safety pin handy to hard reset the A500 when it goes insane.

Clean boot your tab. This will force the OS to install itself again.
Note: Clean boot will erase all the data/information which is saved on your tablet. Recommend you to back up the data before performing a clean boot.
1. Shutdown the tablet
2. Press and hold volume up key (the key next to rotation lock) until you finish step 4.
3. Press power button for 3 seconds until you feel device vibrates then release power button.
4. Once you feel device vibrates, very quick to switch on/off "rotation key" many times (this activity has to be done very fast, otherwise it will not succeed). To ensure you succeed, switch on/off rotation key when Acer logo appears on screen.
5. Wait for a while (you will see Erase Userdata and Erase Cache on top-left corner on screen), device will reboot and start from OOBE screen.
See if that fixes it.
Didn't work for me had to factory reset tab to get accelometer working again. This is the second time.

Erasing as suggested did not help. Only thing found to help so far has been the pinhole hard reset. And, even that did not work once I flashed to "Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1" version. I reverted back to what Acer had pushed to me, and it is working as well as before, meaning, it works as long as you have a pin ready to stick in it.
I have something to add to this thread. The auto-rotation issue started for me after switching to the V3 ICS bootloader.
I kind of found a workaround for it. (If you can call it that)
If I start or reboot my tablet in portrait mode. Auto-rotate works
If I start or reboot my tablet in landscape mode. Auto-rotate does not work.
This happens each and every time. It happens on Civato's new FlexReaper ROM & with Smaury's Lightspeed ROM.
Moscow? Thoughts?
Apparently how I finally solved this problem is by flashing the custom ICS bootloader V4 (read: V4 ONLY). Had tried V3, V6 and it doesn't work.
Had tried both custom ROM and stock ROM the problem will still persists with the said bootloader. But once on V4, it just works like a charm.
I have the same issue with the ratation.
Did anyone try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592170# ??
Let me know please

How do I flash custom ICS bootloader V4? Where is it available? And can it be flashed on top of a stock Acer ICS ROM?
FWIW, although I LOVE having Android tablets, issues like this drive me away from Android phones as I can't deal with this sort of bugginess on my daily use phone.
Ahhh, my other half has just phoned me about this, seems it started doing it after she dropped the tablet, I put the ICS update on it the other week, be nice if its a simple fix instead of a me having to take it to bits and repairs it fix..
Although I could give her my Xoom and then use that as an excuse to get myself something new
auto rotat pro
dude plz helppp......................I have to keep auto rotate off.:crying:
It will rotate Landscape, but won't return to portrait.
It wil flip Landscape on one side and Landscapeon the other side, but won't do portrait, till auto rotate is turned off.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?
I guess I could whack it and start over, but that blows! That would at least tell me something I guess.
It's really irritating. And I dont wat to do......helpppppppppppp:crying::crying::crying:
(Edit 1) Found a fix already! Read post 2!!!
Hello there,
I've been having a OnePlus Two since 4 months already, and had like 2 or 3 home button not working issues.
They used to fixed by themselves after a couple of days of not working, but not this last time.
I tried already the reinstalling system (after formatting system via TWRP), clean it several times, hard reset (hold power button for more than 20 seconds), complete drain battery and fully charge it again, force stop fingerprint service, take out the tempered glass screen protector, and none of those solutions worked.
I here attach (copy the link, can't upload a video directly to this post) a video in which you can see that whenever I power on the screen (still locked), the home button works for several times, but as soon as I unlock it (pattern lock) it stops working. This makes me think that the problem is software, not hardware, but as I said before, already tried reinstalling OOS 3.0, wiping system, cache, data, internal storage, etc.
I compressed the video so it wouldnt be too big, but quality is good enough, just rise the volume so you can listen to the "vibration" that the home button produce.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Daniel Castro
Fix for the issue!
Forum people, I found a fix!
Ok, the solution for making the home button work again (with fingerprint sensor) is the following.
-Factory reset while in OOS 3.0
-Set up everything up and then reboot into fastboot mode
-Install OOS 2.1 via fastboot (you will need to search the forums for it)
-Set up everything up and try to set up fingerprint (it wont work)
-Copy OOS 3.0 (Beta) in the root of the phone
-Reboot into stock recovery and flash OOS 3.0 (beta)
-Factory reset it and set up everything again
-Voila!
Feel free to try this method and reply to this threat or P.M. me for any help.
Sincerely,
Daniel Castro
I have the same problem
Tomorrow i'll try your method
I've posted a questione about this issue,
I think the One plus team should find a solution to this problem that afflict many users
Also, don't forget to rotate your phone 720 degrees, counter clock wise! ? hocus pocus....

Will it erase my internal storage during that fast boot step? So I can backup all my data.

these fixes are all coincidences... we need to request a definitive fix from One plus team if is a software issue.

It will erase everything, make a backup before starting the process.

Most probably hardware design fault, solution would be to redesign the phone and release a fixed design, will probably not happen unless oneplus3 is the solution.
And I second that it's just coincident behind these back and forth flashing of firmwares "solving" it, almost religious. But what are people to do when oneplus is not a company that takes responsibility for they're mistakes.

If it works, its worth a try . And yeah, but we are not in any OnePlus Forum, neither debating about if they are gonna do anything about their own issue, we are trying to fix what an irresponsable company wont.
can we make together an official request to one plus to give us an answer or explanation about this? a lot of users are facing this issue, it's not normal
This is my second opt I bought that this problem has happened
sorry for my english
I had also tried lot of things but home button is not responsive at all.. H2os,exodus,oxygen 2.1 ,3.0 same everywhere
---------- Post added at 04:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 AM ----------
Error is: when i open fingerprint setting
Enrollment not working try differnt finger or try again ... Nd fingerprint autotest not starting also
i've turned to stock i've updated to oxygen 3.0 bet and the button worked again
i think rooting installing twrp and installing different roms may be the cause of this issue

Unfortunately that is not the case, it's a hardware design bug.
However you can f-k up your finger scanner by damage your persistant-partition if you flash up and down between different ROM/bootloader revisions. But it's easily fixed by flashing the image file for that partition again.

50/50 moisture sensitivity and driver issue.
Home button has been working fine for a year, installed 3.0.1 today and suddenly home button only works in OOS 3.0.1. No longer works in CM 13, yet works fine in OOS 3.0.1. Definitely a driver issue.
Tried installing OOS 2.2.1, wiping, then installing Grarak's CM 13 and home button refuses to work. Wiped system, data, cache, installed OOS 3.0.1 and home button works again. Tried wiping again and installed CM 13, home button stopped working. Wiped and reinstalled OOS 3.0.1, home button works again.
Odd thing, my phone will only work with CM13 roms and OOS 2.2.0 or less for fps and home button. Nothing will fix or ever work.
For me, the home button stopped working for a short while on Graraks, then it just jumped back to life again and I haven't had any more home button blackouts after that. If it's a driver issue, it's an extremely intermittent one.
The fingerprint scanner has stopped working from time to time at lockscreen, but this is acceptable for an official hackjobb supported scanner until official sources are released ?
Need Help with this!
Hi everyone!
I have a OP 2 for more than one and a half years now and never had any issues with it(stayed stock...) until recently. I didnt update the phone to the latest version and was putting it off, and today in the afternoon when I tried to unlock my phone it said the 'Fingerprint hardware is not available' and after unlocking the phone with the pattern, it IMMEDIATELY LOCKS ITSELF BACK !!! after split second it just locks the screen while everything is working like connection, wifi, messages, notifications, etc. but due to this I cannot access anything on the phone, can't go to settings and switch to onscreen nav bar buttons, can't force stop/wipe cache the com.fingerprints.serviceext either, tried restarting it several times, downloaded the update but can't even install it because the phone just locks! I have no idea what would fix it and I am avoiding a full reset and wipe on the phone(also based on all i have read, dont think it would fix it anyways)
If anyone knows whats the problem or has dealt with it or knows someone who has, please help me out here on how to fix this and what to do. I did not root it or flash custom ROM's on it yet so literally dont know why it happened.
Thanks,
Max
Hi, I recently got an A5 (2015) that hasn't been used for a while. It had lollipop on there so I updated it through OTA to the newest version and after that the recent apps and back key stopped working. I tried factory resseting, reinstalling the newest version of the firmware through odin, and now i rooted it and installed Aryamod ROM (note 7 port) and still no change. Only thing that fixes it is going back to lollipop, but i do not like that firmware because its buggy, laggy and outdated. Does anyone know the fix for this? Thanks for your help in advance
I apologise if this is a well known issue or something, but I couldn't find a solution through search or google. Also sorry for my fails in speaking English
EDIT: I also noticed that the phone gets stuck in sleep. Sometimes it takes really long for the screen to turn on, and sometimes it won't turn on at all and i must reboot the phone by holding power and volume down keys. Not sure if this is relevant, but it sure is annoying.. Currently running aryamod with hadeskernel v2.0
