[Q] Sensors not working on JV1 and JVK - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys...
I've a problem (and i think i see this problem with same reasons on other problem that mine)
However, i tried each of ROM on my GS device, and each ROM working perfectly in first time, but after i saw any sensors are not working. Accelerometer, commpass, light sensor etc.
If you clikc the link (please see top) you can see my Voice Call problem, i think this problem is same this (so light and nearrest sensor not working and so my screen is not turn to on (lighting)
Anybody have an idea?
I was remember only one detail;
I installed SBL version of this firmware without check Phone Bootloader Update... and i think works fine...
But later i installed same version but with check Phone Bootloader Update...
Some professionals are there ? I think if this is an bootloader problem, how i can get my clear bootloader with JVK, if not what is the problem?

I don't know why but...
I reinstalled the JVK / SBL version, with out Phone Bootloader Update check (so noy checked).
Now all sensors are works perfectly...
I think, problem is checked Phone Bootloader Update
or
Rooting with CF JV1
I'm not sure so i'm very tired, i can't install and crash my device again

[Q] Help Proximity and Position Sensor not working

Since i've update my SGS to android froyo the Proximity sensor stoped working and the position sensor taken 30sec to turn the image...
I've used the test mode code to check hardware error, but there everything is working perfectly...
If I put the Android 2.1 the problem doesn't show up.
Does anyone have the same problem or solution?
Nobody has this issue?
Is quite strange... because if i put a Android 2.1 ROM everything works just fine, but with later version of android the sensors still working (using test mode from SGS Tools, I confirmed that the sensors are just fine), but the system takes a huge time (~30sec) to do something...
Please, if anyone knows anything that could solve this problem, please say something!
I think that in the first week that I had Froyo everything warked fine, but I'm not sure...
Is there any way to do a complete reset and set everything to default values including Hardware settings?
I've already done Factory reset and Full factory reset, by CWM and Code.
Nobody??? Anything???
Is this a genuine samsung rom you are using .
A flashed rom or a genuine Kies updated firmware .
jje
I'm now using a ROM official (sam***gfirmwares.co*) flashed by ODIN.
Should I try use Kies?
No i was just trying to rule out a flakey rom .
My usual suggestion is a wipe via ODIN
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882014
But i would stop at Eclair and see if its solved the problem if OK upgrade further .
jje
Its the same thing...
Its quite awkward, because only apendds in Froyo...
why not try a custom froyo rom, head over to doc's kitchen and cook yourself one up. also try lagfix, and any other speed up tweaks. how does the phone respond normally ?? without the sensors ? is it quite speedy or does it lag ??
The phone work just fine but when i turn the phone it take a lot of time to twist the image... I can even still interact with the screen until it turns...
The proximity sensor takes a lot of time too...
No one else has this problem?

[Q] Proximity Sensor defect

Hi there,
the proximity sensor on my i9000 isn´t working anymore. Everytime I place a call/get called the screen turns black and freezes. I have to pull the battery and restart it.
Testing the sensor on the LCD-test the screen turned green and the i9000 startet vibrating. Here, too only pulling the battery made it stop.
Here is what I tried so far:
- flashing different stock fw (Android 2.2 / 2.3.x)
- applied handicapped settings
- Using Proximity_Screen_Off App and Sanity-App on stock fw
- blowing air into the USB jack/vacuuming the jack
- opened the device to mechanically clean the sensor
All of the above failed!
The only way I can get it to work is when running android 2.3.7 Joker´s MiUi and run the Proximity_Screen_Off App.
Are there any other suggestions as to what can be tried?
Else I will have to get a new motherboard, because wouldn´t want to be restricted to using only one particular rom.
Any input is greatly appreciated
Thanks Christine
if i recall good (but kill me ive drinked some atm) the greensih issue was showing with voodoo color kernels and all the sensor peoblems came with badly assembled kernel.
so i would advice you to reflash pure 3 file firmware (repartition pit and all that jazz)
and if your sensors still would not work just reflash to your carrier or stock formware for your region and push it to repair center with proper dwscription (do no mentions miui or other crap)
Thanks for answering!
I flashed 3-part firmware, pretty much everything available and a CF-Root kernel.
So it couldn´t have been a bad kernel.
Can´t take it back to service, no warranty left.
I just flashed 2.3.5 and CF-Root and now I am fooling around with it some more.
I just think it´s weird that it would work with that and only that MiUi.
impossible unless youve got some other galaxy variaant than i9000

Galaxy S blue screen

Hello guys
A few days ago I tried to update my I9000 from Gingerbread to ICS (this version if you want to know it exactly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363593 ^^)
Everything worked out fine till I got a bootloop through a (today) known bug. But now to my real problem: I tried to flash a stock-rom to my phone to solve the problem, but suddenly the process was interrupted by a blue screen!! It was a bit like going into the test menu through typing the code into the dialer, but it was during the flashing-process!
I haven´t found anything about this problem (I have only found a bug were the display is a bit bluish, but this is caused by the kernel. And I found something were the PC got a bluescreen, but I have found nothing about a blue screen on the phone.)
Fortunatelly the download mode was still working and I could flash another rom with ODIN, but does anybody know what kind of bug this is?
Thanks

Touchscreen bug, apparently software-caused

So, I was using MiniCM7 2.2.1 (kernel nAa-13) but it seemingly was too hard on my battery, therefore I decided to give a try to a few other ROMs in order to find out which provided the best battery life. So I tried a few on the same kernel and then flashed the Alfs v08a-CM7 kernel and the GingerZaraki ROM. Then the problem began.
As soon as it booted I noticed that the touchscreen was acting weird. I assumed it to be a GingerZaraki or Alfs bug so I flashed back to nAa-13 and MiniCM7 2.2.1, but it persisted, then I flashed nAa-ics-04 and MiniCM9 3.0.4, and finally stock 2.1 -- and it's still there. In all cases factory resets were done and the SD card was cleared as I've seen on other touchscreen bug threads.
I don't know what happened, or what to do. It is like, from time to time, an invisible finger repeatedly touched the right edge of the screen. That results on options being activated in portrait mode (in settings it can go down to third or fourth level in each of the "bursts") or the notification center being activated in landscape mode.
Any ideas?

try in stock rom/eclair about a week ,I think it is about nAa issue !!
just full wipe and flash stock rom..........using flash tools......or try using song update service........

I did, as I stated before. Still not working properly.
What I don't understand is how flashing a new kernel/ROM can break it in a way that not even flashing back stock Eclair solves the problem. I can only think of hardware failure but... it would be akin to a computer failing because you installed a different version of Windows.
I am facing the same problem. Both GingerXperia v22 & 23 had the same problem as yours. Tried installing GingerXperia v25 but my phone then got stuck at the SE screen.
Posted a query here: forum[dot]xda-developers[dot]com/showthread.php?t=1837885
Used SEUS to install the default Sony version, but I am still facing the same touchscreen bug (random parts of the screen get selected even if I don't touch the screen and many times the screen does not respond even if I touch it).
I was happily using GingerDX till all of this started.
Please do post here if you find a way to solve this bug.

It doesn't seem to be kernel-related then.
In my case it began when I flashed Alfs v08a and then GingerZaraki. I assumed that it had to do with Alfs as the touchscreen driver is in kernel space on Linux (and therefore Android) but seeing that you got the same while on stock kernel (I assume, as you really, really shouldn't try to unlock your bootloader as it's likely to result in a hard brick) it seems to be either ROM-related, or plain hardware failure.
In your case, did it start right after flashing GingerXperia? This is important as it would be too much of a coincidence if two phones failed in this way right after flashing a ROM and that wasn't the cause.

This confuses me. This seems neither a hardware problem nor a software problem. Here is why:
1. Why this doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.
Because it started the moment I installed GingerXperia v22. Everything was fine when I used Stock Kernel as well as GingerDX. This to be caused by a hardware problem would be too much of a co-incidence for both our cases.
2. Why this doesn't seem to be software problem.
Because it persisted even after I installed different versions of GingerXperia (v23). I have now installed the Stock Kernel using the SEUS and the problem is still persisting. Moreover, I haven't unlocked the bootloader till now. So, how could be a software problem (ROM related) ?
Now, can someone explain me what could be the source of this problem ?

I don't know exactly how ROM flashing works -- I've seen a "backing up system files" message, and I think that there's a reason why the stock 2.1 image is about 200 MB while CM7 ROMs rarely exceed 100 MB. I guess that some files are kept. Maybe if one or more of those files (say, a driver) is replaced with an incompatible version... but then, flashing stock should solve it. Maybe someone can shed a bit more light on the subject?
Another possibility is software-caused hardware failure, where some kind of misconfiguration physically damages the hardware. It's very uncommon, but who knows.

All my sensors stopped working at the same time!!

The situation is this, i try to change my phone to efs partition, i changed and after some weeks i decided get back to ext4, but during this procedure, the partitiol table got corrupted/broken, so everytime i flashed a rom it was good but on recovery, the data partition shows an error on log, when it booted, i noticed that my sensors stopped working, rotation screen brightness controller, among others, i had no other option than restore to stock, and i did, but my sensors keep not working, and i already flash the 5.0 and 6.0.1 and the result is the same, isnt suppost a rom include the sensor drivers?
Im 100% sure it isnt a hardware problem, please if anyone could help me i would be very gratefull, thanks
