[q] sgs automatic screen rotation is not working

Please help me guys
I have an International Samsung Galaxy S 16GB(GT-i9000) purchased a month back in India. Since then, i flashed many firmwares since then through Odin. Now recently I flashed the XWJP6 froyo firmware and been using it with Voodoo without any problems.
But since yesterday, i have noticed that the automatic screen rotation doesnt work. I thought it was a bug with firmware, so i have flashed back to the original DDJG4 firmware. But even then the problem exists. Now i have noticed that I cant play any sensor games like NFS SHift, Asphalt 5, etc. So, i am thinking now that maybe the sensor is not working at all. Now please help me what to do?
I am thinking to give it in service center. But i know that i have voided my warranty, so is there any chance that they would repair it even? Also i noticed my product code has changed to HKAXEE. Is there any chance to get it back to HKAINU? Please help me !!!

Hold your finger at the very TOP & slide it down, on the top you see icons, click on Auto rotation.

Hi krishkanth787 don't panic just yet.
I had a similar problem to this after flashing Darky's froyo ROM last night - auto rotate wouldn't work no matter whether I turned it on or off and I couldn't play accelerometer based games! My first thought was also that the hardware was broken.
However this morning I found it was something to do with the home app LauncherPro. Everything started working fine after restoring it back to defaults, which is a little weird because I'd made sure that Auto-rotation was enabled within it!
You might have a similar problem even if you're not using LauncherPro.
I'm afraid I can't help you with changing the product code except to say that it's definitely possible - I think it involves editing some system files. I'm pretty they'll be information about it here on xda.

Wipe everything (Data+cache), that worked for when my sensors wheren't even recongnized by the system (Reported as non existing)

Damn beaten to the mark...
I assumed that turning Auto rotation ON might be a little too obvious, but I guess it's often the more obvious things.

Yeah I read about that in another forum which is why I tried restoring LauncherPro back to defaults. No idea what caused it though cause I've now set them back to exactly how they were and it's still fine.

still doesnt work
thank u a lot guys.
I have tried everything possible, including wiping data cache, flashing to original firmware, etc, but nothing seems to have solved the problem. I am suspecting it as a hardware problem. The weird thing is when i switch on auto rotate, the device goes into landscape mode and refuses to come back to potrait mode, then i have to manually turn off auto rotate to get back !!

Try recalibrating using the Froyo shell tool
adb.exe shell
su
# /system/bin/sensorcalibutil_yamaha

Had exactly the same problem. Everything was pointing to either a hardware fault or reflash from scratch, until I bumped into this. I ran the above command and got the following errors

THANKS A MILLION!!

Edit - fixed!
Basically anyone reading this mount /system as RW
Can use a program like SU File Manager & Terminal from the market with busybox.

This helped for me. Thanks alot

Trigger sensor recalibration without root?
I have the same problem: After starting googe navigation the sensors (both acceleration and magnetic) stoped providing data and so auto-rotation doesn't work any more.
I checked for the ms3c_yamaha.cfg file: It's empty. I have FW JPY (Android 2.2.1) and iirc 2.2.1 can not be rooted easily with an app.
Are there any other ways to trigger a sensor recalibration without root?
Edit: Just found out that root is super easy done with superOnClick root, even on 2.2.1.

it worked for me too man and thanks

Thanks a million man. This works for me too.

This worked for me too. I deleted the config file with root explorer. Downloaded a free Terminal emulator. Typed SU then cd'd to system/bin and ran sensorcalibutil_yamaha. Exited and tested with GPS-Status working straight away.
I was about to reinstall a stock rom and return it under warranty.
Thanks

I apologise in advance for being a massive noob, but after installing darkys rom I found my accelerometer not working. I think the solution given in this thread will do the trick but I have one problem...i do not understand a thing anyone has said.
you mention this adb.exe thing and recalibration and this froyo shell tool and I don't know how to get this adb.exe thing.
I would be really grateful if someone could lay this out step by step including where I go to download whatever I need etc.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give!

[Q] Update to Froyo 2.2 gone bad?

Hi there,
Today i decided to install android Froyo 2.2 to my galaxy s(dutch). I did this using samsung KIES, everything worked fine and i was told my phone would restart. It turned itself down but after the samsunglogo (the blinking one) the screen turned black while the bottom 2 buttens are lighted, it doesn't go passed this stage.. Also it vibrates ones in a while, sometimes 1 time, sometimes 3 short bursts of vibration. I still have the phone connected to my computer, what should i do? Jank battery out and pray for startup? Or are there any other suggestions?
Regards,

I had this problem.
If I remember correctly, I removed the battery and powered it on into Download Mode and reflashed it. But I didn't use Kies so it may be different.

Thnx, ill google around to see how to flash without keys, iam gonna jank it out

tried this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853950
But it sticks on SetupConnection and then sais he can't open the serial comport
ideas?
regards,

This is the Dev section, please move to Q and A.

tried again, went to firmware update start.. param.lfs then complete (write) operation failed... Iam getting a bit scared now!!

afaik this is for the mods
you could have done it the following way (as a reference for the future):
*) save the content of your post - delete the post
*) open a new post in the other section of the forum
use the search function and google
I'm sure there's at least one solution for you to get your phone running again

Help Please I've Bricked my Samsung 8.9 wifi tab

Hi All
Today I thought I would try to install Jellybean on My tab, I am a total nube at this but thought I could follow the tutorial. First I rooted my tab, then tried to backup the tab but it didn't work and then I thought what the hell I'll just try it.
Now it just shows the black and white Samsung Screen and won't turn off.
When I go in to the Android System recovery a message shows - /cant access to ‘system/csc/XEF/system/
I've tried using Odin and all seems good but I can't get ClockWorkMod to appear on my tab.
I bought my tab in the UK but it got shipped from France so has default language setup in French If that has anything to do with it.
Please help, I've tried following some threads on here but some of it seems to be out of my depth. Could someone explain in simple terms how I can get my tab back to normal?? It would be very much appreciated. I'm so annoyed at myself :crying:
Thanks in advance
Mike

Thanks, can someone please help me with these files please I'm desperate. :fingers-crossed:

Right, I've been looking at this for 2 days now.
I've noticed that their is a CSC file option on Odin, I'm also in the middle of downloading the stock rom P7310XWLA2 which is the French version of the ROM.
So when it has downloaded should I try to find a CSC file as well as the PDA file to send to my tab?
Please Help :fingers-crossed:

ok I've loaded the stock rom P7310XWLA2 from odin there was no seperate csc file
But the tab started to load up 3 things came up with failing to mount data and cant mount your storage is not prepared yet on updating application, applting Multi CSC and installing multi CSC
The tab then rebooted and all looked well until the tab asked 'Entrer mot passe' which I think is enter you password i entered 'samfirmware.com' but it says desole - sorry
Any ideas please???

Luckily I've never had to use ODIN with my Tab, however back in the days on my SGS I used it a lot.
So just a few things: you don't have a CSC file, because your tab is a Wifi only model, so don't worry about that.
Also, be sure to tick the re-partition box on the left if you are using a pit file (which at this state you should), this should repartition your internal SD and thus have a clean install.
Good luck

Thanks, but i've got it working and I'm not gonna mess round with it again.
Can't believe i finally got it working!

[Q] FULL restore from another device - need help with g-sensor

Hi!
I have problem with my i9070. All starts with auto-rotation problem. It works only for few minutes on new system, or till I will turn on move functions. Then my g-sensor freeze. On GPS-status it shows nothing - no magnetic field, rotation, acceleration. When I start searching google about this problem I found that all HTC have similar problem (like this ) I tried to use that tips on my phone and figure out what's wrong. Unfortunately Samsung don't have files like /data/misc/AK8973Prms.txt . I start research and found files /etc/calib.dat /etc/sensor.dat /etc/param.dat wich seems to be related to the g-sensor. I watch how these files look like when g-sensor works on fresh system, and how they look like when g-sensor is corrupted. Again unfortunately nothing happened - the same permissions, the same values. Then I started to flash different roms, different kernels. I have 2.3.6 than 4.1.2, than back to 2.3.6 (by this tutorial ) than again 4.1.2. Than I installed this Kernel. My auto-rotation works for an hour without move functions (the best score). Now it's corrupted again.
I have a guess, that it's the driver faults, calibration problem, or sth in /etc folder. I'm not a dev, I can use terminal, give you all data I have. I wipe my phone hundreds times. One of my solution is to copy ALL data from another device (I don't know is it possible) and watch what happens. Maybe with this tools.
What I should do? Please help me, I will be very grateful!

Just know this - NEVER FLASH FIRMWARE FROM OTHER PHONE. You will get not just problem with sensor, but with everything.
And other thing, files that work on other phone will not work on our. You can copy/paste those file but it will mean nothing.
If it work like you think, we would have CM10.1 long time ago...
And you tried it with lot of software, you do not think it is some hardware issue? You have warranty?
