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.
My G1's touchscreen stopped working recently. It didn't appear physically damaged but i tried replacing the digitizer anyway.
However even with the new digitizer, the touchscreen still does not work.
Also my message light, compass and accelerometer no longer function.
Any ideas? Would you reccomend replacing the flex cable?
flash some other rom cook to testing
i have trouble with touch screen with some rom
if the same trouble i think hardware have something wrong
ps: sorry for my english
Hi guys,
I have a problem for a few months wit my Defy (green lens). Digitizer dont work on left side (10mm by line!). I have at home another digitizer, it is broken, but worked a long time ago perfect. So the digitizer problem is excluced. I tested the phone with lot ROMs (stock froyo, MIUI, Defy+ ROM-s). But the ROM swap is not solve my problem.
I think so, that is a calibration problem. What is to be done?
Thanks for the help, and sorry for my english.
Hello, since yesterday I started having problems with the touch screen ... to see if I can explain what is going right....
I can not write using the "q", "t", "f", "v" and "shif" and everything else that stands in (and this I presume) two vertical stripes where the touch does not seem work ...
Anyone else had this problem and knows how to solve it, or do I have to send the phone for warranty?
Thanks in advance!
have u tried to install a diferent keyboard app? or maybe clean data from original keyboard app?
yes i had miui installed when it occured then i've downgraded for official 2.3.5 and the problem remains...
I think i'll have to take the animal to the doctor...
Had a similar problem on mine, the right 1cm of the touch screen didn't work. I replaced the touch screen, problem solved.
hi to all,
some day ago i broke my screen, then i bought a new one and replaced it. Only at the end i saw that my old touch screen was synaptics and the new one was Atmel. My old touch screen doesn't work anymore and even the new one doesn't work.
On my phone there is installed slimbean 7.2 probably without Atmel drivers; if i install a stock rom, will my touch screen work? if not, how can i do?
Please help me
