Broken GSensor - Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers

Hi there are any way to fix GSensor ?
Because thats the reason why screen rotation is not working in my case after bootloader unlock.
In calculator i write in ",1234+" a tap on gsensor test and the result is fail.
Thanks in advance

The accelerometer is built in to the logic board. Chances are slim of repairing it without a logic board swap/phone replacement. Contact ASUS for warranty repair if you're under warranty.
It could also be a custom ROM issue if you're using one.

That issue and couple other appears after unlocking bootloader (official app from asus) so I do not have warranty. I try on LineageOS and stock firmware but in both case GSensor is broken.

You need to delete the file /persist/sensors/sns.reg using TWRP or a root-enabled file manager. I've had this problem a few times myself and deleting that file takes care of it.

[Q] G-Sensor not working in ANY Android ROM after screen replacement

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.

[Q] Problems with Battery on i9505

Hi,
I recently got my phone repaired after a broken Charging connector which broke due to a short circuit with water in the charing cable.
Now it got repaired and it charges again, but it sais it keeps charging even if it is not attached.
the Menu and Back buttons aren't working aswell. USB isnt working either, but when i remove the battery it does work suddenly.
Did the battery could be damaged and how bout the menu and back button?
If you got questions, ask me!
I flashed my Phone back to stock so i could be sure it is no problem with the kernel/firmware.
Hope you can help me out!
Regards, D
No one knows an answer to this?
could the buttons be broken when the guy changed the connector slot?

They say that they haven't touched it and that the screen has to be replaced. They are not going to replace it they say...
Is this a hardware problem or a software problem?
Thanks in advance!

Whats wrong with the screen, did you drop the phone? If you reflash the stock rom you have with Odin 3.04 and do a data factory reset after the flash and the issue persists it is definately a hardware problem.

The bottom buttons / softkeys ( next to the home button) do not light up anymore and do not work at all. This problem showed up after they have repaired it. They told me that the screen might be broken(the buttons are part of the screen they told me) so if they need to be replaced, the screen has to be replaced.

I guess they think you dropped the phone, which is not covered by warranty.

I pay for it to repair it. Not any warranty issue.
We checked it with another screen and the buttons still dont work.
Motherboard issue then...

[Q] Hard bricking for warranty replacement (??)

Hello,
Is it profitable to hard brick Knox 0x1 smartphone to get him on warranty? Or should I just give him with 0x1 status?
Here are the problems:
1) Not charging (even if replace Micro USB Flex - MB problem)
2) GSM Modem and sound problem after update to newer 4.4 KK - still can't find solution
3) Not working camera module (had two replacement pieces, one didn't change anything, second gave me my rear camera, but I still couldn't use the front one.. When I was changing to front in camera app it was crashing and freezing.
Thank you.

So, you have modified both, software (KNOX) and hardware (self-made camera replacement), and NOW you are looking for warranty?
Beside ethical issues related with such, I'd suppose that your phone would be investigated on arrival, and traces of mechanical hardware replacement operation would be easy to spot by service guys...

I tried both replacements but I have changed it back to stock hardware parts. And. I also think that they'll see my interference.. :/

[Q] Touch screen doesn't work...now what?

I dropped my phone and cracked the screen. So since I've did that, the touch screen doesn't work. I went to get the screened replaced and went to test it out and it still doesn't work. What's not allowing my touch screen to work after getting the screen replaced? If I change the screen does is the digitizer attached to the screen so therefore it will get changed too or is it a separate hardware?
Most likely faulty replacement part.
Try downgrade to 4.2.2

Hi, I've purchased a cheap diplay at ebay. Touch didnt work any more.. after a number of tests i found out this was due to a HW test at boot. When downgrading 4.2.2 everything works fine. Any upgrade 4.3+ failed to enable digitizer after reboot.
PS: When booting eg 4.4.4 with the old digitizer connected and then connect the new digitizer w/o rebboting the the touch was working well.. I'm very interested in geting a confirmation or reason what causes this issue kindly keep me posted
Most replacement screens use an original LCD (recycled from a cracked screen) fitted with a copy touchscreen. Either the incompatibility could be deliberate on LGs part but I think it's probably due to a driver update or something which has broken compatibility with the reverse engineered touchscreen. It could also be a coincidence, some copy parts are prone to just not working for no real reason sometimes.
Hey DrFredPhD
Can you imagine a costum rom with the old touchscreen drivers from 4.2.2 into 4.4.4?
What would this require: To compile a costum kernel? The drivers would usually be in compiled form in the boot.img, right?
I've tried to flash 4.4.4 with the old boot.img from 4.2.2. - but the phone didn't start (as expected..)
Can you imagine someone how could help me in this regard? I think there may be a number of people facing the same problem..
Anyway, thanks for your help - Greetings :good:
Binaries are available for nexus 4, maybe compiling from AOSP with older binaries would work, but you might break functionality too.
It's been done on other devices but probably not for the reason you want.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#makojdq39
So what are you essentially saying? Put the mb in a good working nexus and see if it works or that maybe the tech put a new digitizer with the old rom driver onto an older mb with a new rom driver? And that could possibly cause conflict with drivers or roms? Which in turn will not allow my screen to function?
The part he put on is crap, if you put a decent replacement screen on it'll work fine.

Are you sure? Because I don't wanna regret spending money on a new screen and it doesn't work. :laugh:
I've seen phones damaged by a repair bad enough that the touch will never work, but I've seen far more copy touchscreens that are useless.
Hi Guys
Just to say: may bad fake faulty touch "per se" works well under 4.2.2 and updated 4.4.4 also! It just prohibited "start" the phone with this digitizer attached! Both, phone and digitizer are fully functional and "compatible"..

May be that fingerprint needs official Samsung Amoled display.. but try this before: if you have warranty go to samsung repair store, tell to them the fingerprint's problem and they (with a software) will fix the problem.. It happened to me when 2 years ago they changed the PCB to my A50, after that fingerprint didn't work anymore they fixed this like that.

NP. I think that, if you changed display not in an Samsung official repair store, they won't consider your request, but I hope that they will help you.
You can get replacement screens that have a fingerprint scanner in them and some that don't. It's a fused in part, so if the screen was made without it (usually cheaper) the phone won't have that feature anymore. You will need to replace the screen to get the function back.
