Hello zenfone users,
Today my sister's zenfone 2 laser arrived (ze550kl) and I have two questions:
The specification says that it has gyro but it's not working in youtube or Google camera ;\ cpuz shows "orientation sensor" that works like gyroscope because it shows angle of the device. What do you think? Is this real gyroscope that we will be able to use after modding?
My second question is about double tap to wake. I enabled it in settings but it's not working at all. In one shop that had zenfone laser on display it was working flawlessly. Is this hardware issue? It hasn't got any protector on screen. In fact all of the off screen shortcuts are not working.
Edit
OK sorry I'm stupid xD Doble tap works. I was trying it using this plastic cover that it comes with so proximity sensor thought that something is in front of it so tap wasn't working sorry.
My phone is ze 500 kl that's why it doesn't have gyro xd
I'm interested in knowing about gyroscope also, I'm planning to buy a ze601kl but if no gyro it's a no go for me...
Did you try with z-devicetest or similar sensors app to see if it works there?
Well I checked cpu-z on my friends moto g 2gen that has real gyro and it has both gyroscope and orientation sensor on the list. Both were showing angle of the phone but orientation in degrees and gyro in radians so that's strange. http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/specs-asus-zenfone-2-laser-t3242377 this says that it has gyro but for example google camera/youtube 360 can't see it.
edit
allright I found info here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/sensors/sensors_position.html
Orientation sensor is not a gyro! It works similar but it uses geomagnetic field sensor in combination with a device's accelerometer.
EDIT
ok again I'm stupid it's ze500kl not ze550kl xdd sorry
Plz mod delete this useless thread

Hi all,
I think my Proximity sensor is broken..... can one try the following:
*#0588# (Proximity Sensor Test Mode)
And tell me what happens when the sensor is covered?
Also anyone got suggestions on how I can fix this?
Thanks
Tony
It works for me with *#0*# then select sensors and then move your hand close to the phone.
It also works with your code, the phone vibrates and the background changes colour when my hand is 5cm above the sensor.

Can you please tell me what it says in Sensor?
In Proximity Sensor I have:
Proximity Sensor (Min/Avg/Max)
------------------------------------------
PROXIMITY: null ADC: 0 (0,0,1)
and sometimes when I cover the sensor it changes to : ADC: 2 (0, 1, 2)
Thanks
Looks like it is broken ACC 78(83,85,89) with my thumb over the sensor.
The important number is the first number (78). This must go over 10 to register as near at about 5cms , then the background turns green.

Thanks for that. Do you know if it's a firmware (I do have original Firmware on it but had CM7 on it for a while)
Looking like a faulty phone to me. These are hardware sensor tests.
a friend of mine has the same problem. We bought the telephone together but , after 1 month, his proximity sensor stopped working.
We tried the samsung diagnostic tool receiving the same information (ADC reach maximum 4).
we noticed that it stopped working after the change of the rom (with the installation of the clock recover) but I'm sure this is the real cause.
Is there a configuration file where proximity sensor parameter like gain/offset are stored?
Maybe some buggy application has changed these values.
if you have no warrenty, you can buy a replacement sensor, only about £10, it's front cam/sensors in one component
problem fixed!
Using phonetester it took 5 minutes to connect to the sensor (while with my phone it took 1 minute) but once connected , the proximity sensor started to work again also with samsung diagnostic and phone application.

what did u use to repair ?, mines says proximity: null ADC range from 1 when nothing is in it;s way to 255 when coverd...

The sensor is responsible for the Palm Motion (screenshot capture with hand gesture in front of the sensor) and the "Mute/pause" by covering the sensor, doesn't work for me ... I guess it's sensor problem, but It could be also software problem...
Anyway I'm on S4 I9500 (what they call Octa core) I'm rooted (Cofface root) and my Android version is in attached image.
I'll be happy if you guys can check if it works in your device... just go to:
Settings> My device> motion and gestures, then turn on the "PALM MOTION" toggle...
And if you make a gesture above the screen from right to left or left to right and the device does not take a screenshot, you probably also have this problem ...
I'd be happy if you comment here and update us.
By the way - what is Samsung's secret dial-up codes to check the sensors?
Thank you!
By the way, I found some schematics for the I9500 and I see that the left sensor is a light sensor and not proximity/gesture sensor... but anyway, I've activated all Motion and gestures toggles, but Palm motion still doesn't work!
Quick glance does work perfectly and also other Gestures and auto brightness, so I don't understand why the palm motion doesn't work if it uses the same sensors?

Any ideas?
Just so you know, I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to take a screenshot the "gesture" way and, unlike on the SGS3, it seems the side of your palm needs to be physically touching the screen as you swipe from left to right. At least it does for me!
Hi, 10x for your reply...
I tried all variations, but no luck... :\
And Palm mute/pause doesn't work too...

Palm mute/pause doesn't work for me either. Hardly any of the gesture's work well enough to be useful
hhmmm... this is so weird... I tried it on my friend's S4 and everything works great!
I think this is a software problem, I think I'm gonna download the latest Firmware and flush it via odin and check it again on stock version! maybe something messed up when I rooted my phone, or my stock firmware is not the latest one? (chek my attached image) does your device runs the exact same firmware as mine dose?
10x.:good:
Update!:good:
Ok I think I found the problem, for those who have that same problem, relax, probably the hardware is fine, As I assumed, this is a software problem (specific Build I guess) I dialed #*#0* in the Dialer Aoo and it's launched the device sensors debugger... and there you guys can check if the sensors are fine!
I suggest to check these particular sensors:
1. light sensor
2. proximity sensor
3. gesture sensor > Direction
and there you can verify if it's a software issue or hardware issue...
hope this helps somebody.
cheers!

That number doesn't work for me
Ooops...
My mistake, the right number is: *#0*# (star hashtag 0 star hashtag )
good luck !
Your hand has to physically touch the screen. Then both screen shot and mute work

Meltus is right. Your palm needs to cover the screen physically in order to work. As for the screen shot, the palm needs to physically swipe the screen

I am using zenphone 2 laser ZE550KL and yesterday my touch pad got crack... and thats why my proximity sensor not working properly as broken glass is on the sensor... so i wnt to disable is completely... i mean it is like my phone doesn't have proximity sensor... any guys help me out here.... the only solution i have in my mind is to open my phone's motherboard and remove the proximity sensor... But i don't wnt to do that... i wnt to fix it by only software... plz help guys.
You should bring your phone to ASUS for glass fixing
If you using LineageOS, go to Settings => Buttons => Turn on End call by Power Button. This may be helping for a time
Dude i don't have problems with calling... but my double tap to wakup not working also when i am using third party apps like messenger imo etc my screen goes completely black... then i have only one option to restart my device
You can find the proximity sensor file in your root folder, maybe if you delete it or renamed it, it will disable the sensor.
Where..

Hi everyone,
I would to know if this tablet has a gyroscope sensor. According to gsmarena, there is one, however according to an app called Gyroscope Test there is not. Also apps that required a gyroscope doesn't seem to work. I don't know if the kernel I installed simply doesn't support the gyroscope.
Thank you
Hey, I just downloaded aida64 and gyroscope test to test it.
Aida64 shows me:
LIS3DH Acceleration sensor: x / y / z
MS-3R(YAS532) Magnetic sensor: x / y / z
MS-x Orientation sensor: Azimuth / Pitch / Roll
AL3201 Light sensor
Screen orientation sensor
If I open the gyroscope test app it shows me:
Device Model ID: Samsung GT-N5110
Detected hardware
Gyroscope: No
Magnetometer: Yes
Accelerometer: Yes
Google Cardboard compatible: No
If I run the simulation in the app, I was able to looking around by moving my tab. It was smooth and correct.
(stock, rooted ROM)
I have i problem with accelerator sensor, bc when Im watching YouTube video And I rotate phone don't rotate stay vertical, i activated automatically rotation, but nothing happen, i test gyro and it's working, test accelerator and "x" value don't work, get stuck on 78 value and don't move, "y" and "z" still movin.
I try reset phone, calibration sensors, and nothing work, camera get stuck horizontal mode.
After looking into your problem , I think it's the issue with your device's hardware.
The same happened with one of my friends some days back.
Yes was a hardware problem, hit mi phone with table, so hard and just fixed gyro and acce,
