missing g.sensor calibration from settings?

Does anyone know if there's a way to calibrate g-sensor on jelly bean?
Its not in settings>display like ICS
Probably right under my nose....

i cant find it....
after playing x-plane, my g-sensor is all messed up, and theres no way i can find to re-calibrate it, none of the bubble level apps work

I was playing Drive with Zombies and it pulled hard right. Restarting the app several times and the bubble level had no effect.
Finally I tried laying it flat on the table and starting the game. Problem solved.

I'm resurrecting this thread, temple run is tilted to the right and its annoying, my nexus is stock but this no g sensor calibration is bugging me.

Well, thanks for the idea, but that will not work - I checked (I have similar problem on my Nexus 7) - The GPS Status APPs does not recalibrate the G-Sensor system, it only "recalibrates" how it interprets the g-sensor output for its own purposes, so the recalibration does not affect any other applicatons
You can check that deleting stored data for GPS Status app wil also resets the way it represent the G-Sensor data...
maybe there is some other way how to fix the G-sensor?

Strange, because I was having an issue with my N7 pulling to the left on games, installed GPS status and did the calibration and haven't ever had the problem again. Even after reboots, it's still fine... You got me, but what ever it did, mines all good now.

I returned my 16 GB that pulled to the left for a 32 that seems just fine so I don't need to worry about it anymore.

Well, good for you... I have read some reports that the sensor come to "senses" in special circumstatnces like keeping the tablet on flat surface when running faulty apps and so on, but none of them worked for me.. it any app i able to calibrate the sensor for itself, then it is fine for it, but other apps that can not do the calibration are not affected at all

if only someone would sell 32GB N7 in my country, I would gladly change it :angel:
Ok, I will try to look for other solution..., thank anyway..
EDIT: I think have just found solution: when I calibrated the sensor using App "Sensor tester" (yes, there are several apps of that name, but only one is working on my N7 and has calibration available), then ALL sensor testing apps (including GPS status) sees the G-sensor corectly calibrated, and it works even in the game that caused all my troubles. And also, it does not matter whether or not is that sensor app running - I stopped it and deleted its data and it is still working fine!

how do you actually calibrate in the app?

In the APP menu select "other avaliable sensor", then select "MPL Accelerometer type: ACCELEROMTER " (it is actually a bit longer sentence). Then again, open the APP menu and there will be buton labeled "Calibrate" which will take you through the rest of the process...

oh boy, it seem that the problem is baack again:
I restarted my Nexus 7 (I was experimenting with USB host, but that does not belong here), and now the G-sensor it is back in its previous (misscalibrated) state, and this time, the "Sensor tester" app is not helping I even tryed several other apps, but nothing is helping this time, and I can not find what is different this time (restart)... :crying:
EDIT: hmm... today, I tried again, and now it is working (???). I do not know why it did not worked last time... If every application that uses g-sensor would also contain calibration settings for its own use, world would be so much nicer place...

Nexus 7 Auto Rotation stopped responding

Not sure what's happened, but the Auto Rotate functionality on my Nexus 7 doesn't seem to be responding anymore?
I have Nova Launcher Prime installed, auto rotate enabled everywhere I can find. It had been working perfectly, and I'm not really sure why nothing is rotating.
It seems to be getting stuck in whatever view it's currently in. I started up Transformers to see if the screen would rotate, it did because it was forced to, but then I quit the movie and my Nexus was stuck in landscape mode.
The only way I can seem to get it back to portrait mode it by making it go to sleep and then unlocking it. I've already powered it off and on to see if that would make a difference, but no luck yet.
I've owned Android devices for 2+ years now, and I've never seen this happen before... Ideas?

Sorry for the smudged screen, but here's another picture doing an accelerometer test, and the little ball was stuck at the top

Did you try default launcher? If not try that.
Another suggestion is uninstalling Nova Launcher Prime, and reinstalling.

His problem is happening everywhere, not just the homescreen, so messing with the launcher won't fix it.
Nick: This thread might help (seems like it might or might not work).

Btw, you probably don't need to turn on the flash when taking pictures of your screen. Turning it off would probably result in clearer pictures.

Mine had the problem from the start and various things I try sort it out temporarily but don't fix it.
You're problem could be reversed if it was ok to start with, something might have knocked the gyro off somehow?
Might be worth backing up and doing a factory reset?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, but it doesn't seem to have solved the issue...
I tried uninstalling and re-installing Nova Launcher - No change
I tried to calibrate using that Compass app - No change
I then tried to do a factory reset - No change

Did you accidentally lock your orientation in the notification bar? It's the icon to the left of the settings button.

Try reimaging with stock 4.1?

Hi,
I was having the same problem. I first tried the compass app and went through the calibration and it was the same. I then did a complete erase. Still the same. I was resigned to sending it back, but was reluctant too as I'd bought it in an airport in the UK and I'm sure it would've taken some time and there would be some hoops to jump through. I then went into Youtube and started to rotate the device around quite aggressively and found if it was upsound down and I shook it, it changed to landscape / portrait. I then tried the compass app again, went through the calibration and hey presto - it worked!!!!!! :laugh::laugh: Don't know if the compass app fixed it or if shaking it agressively did the trick.
It now changes seemlessly from portrait to landscape and vice versa. If you're used to an iPad or iPhone you might have to wait a fraction of a second longer for it to work.

You sure you didn't have selective focus or HDR mode on? as with them enabled you can't zoom in/out.

Here are some screen shots of the camera screen.
As you can see only 3 modes.
And on the other no setting cog icon.
So how can I try different modes when I can't change them, and then the setting icon can't even use that.
I just want to get to use the camera to its full potential.
Thanks for any help guys.

Well that's one of many way that i found to fix it.... thanks. I hope this reply can help many people.

Bug: Sharing photos in portrait orientation are automatically rotated to landscape

-My girlfriend shot a bunch of portrait photos and every single portrait photo when shared to Facebook (or sharing to any app like SMS, not just FB) are automatically rotated to landscape orientation. Viewing exact same portrait photo in the google photos or the gallery app shows the correct portrait orientation. However, shooting in landscape maintains the orientation whether in the gallery or shared. Therefore the problem lies somewhere between the portrait photo being shared and does not appear to be app specific. I have read that switching to a new camera app like the Google Camera fixes the problem but I DO NOT want to downgrade from the LG G4 stock camera. As of now, she is manually rotating all the photos in facebook which is a HUGE pain in the----- Any fix for this? I am hoping to get more exposure to the issue.

Have you been able to replicate when it does and doesn't auto rotate? I'm still trying to figure out if there is a wonky workaround or if it is indeed a bug.

Four pages of whining until a workaround was suggested.

Just tried few photos and uploaded to my computer and they are all looking properly. Pictures are always digitized as in normal landscape orientation and exif orientation tag instructs viewer to rotate picture if needed. Is it possible that you have some protection software that blocks exif tags when sharing images (since they can contain sensitive information like gps address where picture is taken)? Similar issue was existing before with fb and iphone.

Might be a lollipop bug. I had the same problem on my Galaxy S5 after it was updated. The same problem continued on the G4.

It is an android bug. Especially with Hangouts. Been around forever.

I have had the same issue as well, although have just thought - does it change dependant on the app from which you share the image? i.e. if you share it to fb from the LG gallery, ES File Explorer, Google photos etc. does the same issue still occur?
Dan

I just got my LG G4 yesterday for Tmobile and noticed this bug today when i shared a picture with buddies on Hangouts. It's not a huge deal, but it'd be nice to get fixed. I decided to do some testing with other apps and so far I've only had issues when sharing directly from hangouts or from the Google photo application. If I use the stock LG gallery and share from within that app to hangouts I have no issues. After reading a bit online i noticed there were a good number of people who had this happen in MMS, but I've yet to experience that.

If you're using a task-killing app,it is likely the culprit,ditch it & don't look back.
If not,check the following:
Go to SETTINGS > APPS > QUICK MEMO+ & ensure that all app permissions are enabled.
Also,go to SETTINGS > BATTERY & POWER SAVING,tap on BATTERY USAGE & scroll down to Ignore optimizations & choose QUICK MEMO+
Other than that,the only other recommendation I have is to clear all the app data from QuickMemo+ & try again.

Outside of a factory reset or device replacement, I'm stumped.
May be an effort in futility, but, I'd drop this on an AT&T associate in-store,see what they come up with.

I appreciate your help. It's just one of those little things that irk me. I'm very happy with the phone and everything is working great so no need to return it. Not sure about AT&T (just switched) but if it's anything like Verizon going there would be a complete waste of time.
I'm coming from the 5x and prior to that, quite a few years if rooting and custom ROMs. Like I said I'm very happy with this device but I wanted to try and take advantage of as much of the stock software as possible, since I'm so used to customizing my phone to the exact same setup for so long.
I'll live with it, and again thanks for your help.
