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,

This has been happening pre and post Nodo on my focus. If i'm on a phone call for at least a few minutes, then pull the phone away from my head, the phone's display should become active, but it isn't.
Anyone else having this issue or is it time to exchange the phone?
I have the same issue also it seems like I have to press the power button a couple of times to get it back.
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I'm also having this issue. Anyone remember if ther were having it pre-Nodo? Just wondering if the update changed something.
Regardless, it's a bit of a PITA.
I experienced this after having to replace a cracked screen. I just recalibrated the proximity sensor with my finger about an inch away and it worked fine.

How did you do that?
Yeah, ditto that - how do recalibrate the sensor?
Samsung Diagnostic App.

I was pecking around the screens months ago, and there was one bank of tests (multi-touch, red, green, blue, white, battery, etc, etc) that allowed setting and viewing the proximity sensor.
I remember playing with moving my hand closer, and further and watching it change from sensed to clear.
Sorry, can't remember which codes now.
I used the Wiki:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Focus
LCD Test - *#0*#
Ok, mine says No Detection. Is there anyway to set the value?
One other thing to note, about the samsung focus specific update regarding disabling the touch sensitive buttons while in a program, that also isn't working for me either. Not sure if they are related, but thought I'd throw it out there.
And as far as calibrating goes, not sure it would help since the problem only occurs while I'm on a longer phone call. On short ones the proximity sensor works just fine.
If you move your finger closer to the sensor, it should eventually change to Detected. The "set" button at the bottom should set the proximity sensor to the new distance. Mine is around 75.

Mine says No Dectection. It has Prox Sensor: XXX I've taken my entire hand and covered my phone. NOTHING. When I push SET, It says ProxThreshold :0. Is there anyway to set it manually?
samsung focus post nodo
I believe the prox sensor issue is happening post nodo, I have never had this problem prior to the update... I have been able to fix it temporarily by pulling the battery and starting it up... don't know how long the fix works... got to do some testing... I am wondering if its a power thing as the screen wouldnt work when you plugged it in to power and had on a soft surface....
Still nothing. I didn't want to hard reset since I have Chevron installed. For some reason I did four updates on my phone and don't have a single backup. If I hard reset I'm S.O.L. with Twin Blades and other homebrew apps
What value does it show when you press the Reg button?
I've had issues with my earring tapping the screen while I talk and I had it fixed before NoDo, but the values reset when it was installed, they also appear to be different values now as my screen got supper finicky after the update. I was constantly hanging up or scrolling through multiple pages of stuff with my ear and you could see the screen turning on and off. I ran the proximity calibration while holding my hand in front and set to it to 1.
If it shows xx have you tried setting the value with nothing in front of the phone to see if it will at least zero out?

It has a big red box. It says No Detection. Prox Sensor:XXX Do I press Set or Reg?
another thing is wrong
seems like my light sensor is fried as well... I am starting to wonder if it's because of bad placement of the usb port... both lay right in front of the port, can't imagine pluging in and unpluging the phone would help if the sensors are right in front. I can't get either sensors to work anymore, even with a battery pull... does anyone else have this issue? goto the diagnosis menu and type
*#05#
you should be able to run through all the tests, I skip the feedback loop... Start at 1 and work your way through.
My Prox sensor says, no sensor XXX, and my light sensor is stuck with a value and will not change even when I cover the sensor... looks like a warranty replacement... how does this work with a sd card installed, the official WP7 ATT certified 8GB? Anyone else have to do this?

same problem here. seems like those two sensors are burned
I just got my note and am having problems with auto rotate.
I ran the tests in *#0*#
It looks like they all passed fine
But sometimes mine rotates n it's own and when it rotates, it sticks in Horizontal.
I do not understand the calibration instructions for Horizontal and Gyroscope.
For instance, when it says place device on a level surface and press calibrate, does that mean just place it on it's back on a table? Also, after it is done calibrating, should the gyroscope "ball" on that page move when you move the device? Mine is always stationary.
On the horizontal calibration, how do you position the device before you hit the calibrate button? Should it be landscape or portrait?
IMO they don't explain these very well and it's confusing how to set this up.
Yes, just place it on a table or the floor. Not sure with the gyroscope since i don't have the Note yet, but i imagine the ball moves.
If this is a bug it's a software bug. All Desire HD owners including me had the auto rotate bug when it got released. These are bugs that's very common on freshly released Android devices, and it will get fixed.

Here's the question I have:
I only have 30 days for return if it's broken. Nobody else has complained about auto rotate yet and I would think that would come out pretty fast. I figured out mine had a problem 30 seconds out of the box.
Hi les_garten (another maemo/TMO refugee here!) - I've had my note for over a week, haven't seen any spontaneous rotations at all. I calibrated my gyro on day 1 though I think you don't ned to unless you are having problems. Once calibrated, the blue ball just sits in the centre of the circles, it doesn't move at all.

Thanx for that info! Mine also rotates when I turn horizontal, then won't go back into portrait.
How do you do the Horizontal calibration. Do you stand it on it's edge in landscape mode?
I'll never give Nokia another Nickel! Great idea with dismal execution.
horizontal calibration just involves sitting it flat on a flat surface. After calibration the ball can be "rolled" across both axes - like I said above, for me at least the gyro calibration screen does not allow the ball to roll at all either before or after calibration (hope that's what's supposed to happen, I've never had a phone with a gyro before, I would have assumed the ball was meant to move in response to tilt/turn ....

if you go into the dialer and dial *#0*#
then do sensors and run the Gyro tests and graph, it seems to be fine.
I have to keep auto rotate off.
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 would hate to keep it if it is broke.
I have the auto rotate bug also...you need to try many times before it will rotate... kind of embarrsing.. but I am sure it will be fixed first..but sometimes I wonder..if samsung have tired the phone at all before they ship it...such fundamental feature should work...without any problems

Thanx. I just did mine last night as well.
Very happy now!
i just got a galaxy note 3 weeks ago and it is running gingerbread 2.3.6
i have the same problem for the auto rotation problem, when i test the gyro and horizontal calibration, the ball doesnt move or move in a very laggy motion, when i lever my phone to a certain angle in all direction, the ball will not move in some area of the display. i had calibrated once before it has this problem, the ball move smoothly in any angle...now my message will auto rotate to landscape while i holding it in potrait...please help
I can't actually help fix anything - but if you enter *#0*# in the dialer and then select "sensor" from the LCD tests, then "image test" (under accelerometer sensor) you'll get a picture of a dog whichshould rotate between portrait & landscape as you rotate the phone, and there is an overlayed real time display of x and y axis angles as registered by the accelerometer.
This test should at least show whether the h/w is working or not.
Fix here

I can fix that.This is from galaxy S2 but i dont knows how for Note, i try and working for Note. But after install from CWM, i see Setting/Display/ Gyroscope calibrationand Horizontal calibration. It not working. I was very afraid and i flash new rom N7000ZSLPF---------4.0.3 http://hotfile.com/dl/156123968/e690f65/N7000ZSLPF_N7000OZSLPF_OZS.zip.html
And now Gyroscope not work but rotation is work good.
Sorry my English

Hi,
I've got a problem with the accelerometer of my nexus 10, when I'm in automatic rotation mode the devise doesn't rotate automatiquely when I rotate it. And when an application force the portrait mode I have to desactivate the automatic rotation mode to go back in landscape mode.
Thanks in advance

I believe GPS Status & Toolbox can re-calibrate the accelerometer (along with Compass, and get AGPS data), might be worth looking into
Fixed my screen orientation problem.
I spent a good four hours or so trying to figure out why my screen orientation wasn't working properly even after a reboot and boot into safe mode. I could only get one portrait with buttons on bottom and had to rotate an extra 30 degrees or less than 1 degree to cause it to flip between landscape orientations. Loaded up Google Skymaps and the Horizon was off by about 30 degrees in landscape, but fine in portrait. First went and downloaded Android Sensor Box and found the X-axis would run up to +15.5 and only -3.7. Anyways the calibration reset in GPS Status & Tool Box 4.0.1 fixed it immediately.
Awesome call on that program espionage724 would have never found it if I didn't find this thread and your post.
Edit it came back although a combination of running the program and hitting the lock button seemed to fix it. This time the axis offset was reversed though. Probably an operating system bug and only seemed to come back after I attached an OTG USB cable so =/ ?
Same problem here
I have the same problem with a new Nexus 10. The rotation did not work in any application at any time. With the Sensor Toolbox, I see that the sensor is working to some extend. Recalibrating with the GPS Status did not change anything.
Is this a hardware defect, so that I should send mine back to Google?
If you happen to get the orientation working, I'd be happy if you share it with me.
Hi everyone,
since a few weeks i got problems with the proximity sensor on my i9505
First i thought that it is software related but after clean installing a new ROM yesterday i see that the problem still exists...
It happens when the proximity sensor should react, when i am close to it, it reacts and activates but the problem is that it wont turn off again...
i dialed the test menu and went to sensor test, as i see the sensor sees the distance normaly, when i bring it close and when i move it away i see that the numbers react how they should, however after the sensor is once trigerred with a close object it starts to vibrate and the screen turns green (how it should), but after moving away it registers the distance but it won´t stop to vibrate and turn off :/
Anyone who knows what could be wrong?
I have to mention that the display was changed once (because of the glass broke) but it was working normal for months...
EDIT: after testing again i see that the sensor sees the distance just as it should the only problem is that once that the sensor action is triggered to 1.0 from 0.0 it stays at 1.0 no matter if i remove my hand...
I've had my nexus 6p for about two months now, and yesterday, something weird happened to my gyro sensor. It seems to be completely out of place, not allowing me to rotate my phone in any app in any way. Occurred to anyone else?

The only related issue I've had is when it's laying flat and displaying in portrait, then I open an app and it opens in landscape. Kind of annoying.
I'd ensure rotation is enabled in display settings, and use an app like Sensors Multitool, under rotation vector it will tell you if the sensor is responding to movement at all. If it's not responding it's likely a stuck sensor. Either defective, stuck in position from a fall, or is held in place by static (in which case powering it off for 5 minutes should get it working again temporarily). If the app shows that it's responding to movement but still not rotating, I'd suggest a factory reset.

i left it off for 12 hours and it works perfectly now!
Now that you mention it ive had issues with it locking in landscape--recently in past 24 hours. Havent looked too much into it but toggling auto rotate usually fixes it. Thought it was my launcher (recently switched to asap) but i dunno....never had this issue before yesterday--closest thing would be its TOO sensitive and switches mode with the slightest movement. But thats not the same as it locking up in landscape
