[Q] magnetic field calibration in cm7 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi, i am using cm7 nightly. in stock rom *#0*# works to get a menu where these calibration things are. but in cm7 its not working. my compass is not working right. can any one tell me how fix it?

You don't need a software to calibrate it. Just draw 8 on air with your phone a few times when you wan to use compass. It works perfectly for me.

Accelerometer stopped working.

My accelerometer has stopped working. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there anything I can do or do I need to send it back under warranty?
Edit:running froyo.

Bump, anyone?

Perhaps try the calibration tool in Froyo (in settings)?
What I would try too when these things happen is completely reboot the device (and also remove the battery for a while).
Just tried this no luck. Looks like warranty it is.
I m having e same issue with you,
Accelerometer juz suddenly die on me...
Zzzz

Mine too. I noticed that it helps to restore the settings. Could this be caused by installing a program, for example, Press Reader?
This happened to me a while back, I just re-flashed and it worked again.
You didn't hit the button in the notification drawer did you?
These things rarely flat out break (unless you have an iPhone). Reflashing should do it.

Settings, screen. On cm9 accelerometer is not smooth. On cm7 with any custom kernel too.

Oh. I dont have a custom rom. Im on stock. Is there an app that can do this?
All i know is how to recalibrate "with" root. So if you ever root your phone... let me know
Can you write it here?

In 2.3.6 official europe rom go to settings, dispaly, horizontal calibration, then put it on a table press calibrate and you are good to go.
Really. Im on the austrialian one 2.3.3 and there is no calibrating thing

[Q] [ICS] What radio works best for gps in Scandinavia?

Im having trouble keeping satellites locked, not having a lock/getting a fix. Any hjelp appriciated.

I also have problems with GPS. However it also seems my compass is not exactly correct and unstable. There seems to be some correlation. How accurate is your compass?

Haven't tested compass yet.
Progress with gps testing:
Tried several radios without wiping the cache first (no help with gps, wifi&data ok)
Now using nexus radio kb3, seems to work , have to test some more
KB3 (and KF1) also fixed the "always roaming" problem.
To get kb3 to function, had to (wipe cache +)flash kf1 first, reboot, (wipe cache+) flash kb3
At this point, the key for successful gps is to wipe cache prior flashing radio (modem)
Hi, tried your way also but no luck so far. Still think that the compass is of influence. Sometimes GPS works and then suddenly compass becomes unstable and is deviating and at the same time the GPS looses fix but still has satellites in view. I am getting desperate. will try some more.
Btw I am on titanium rom

ok, too bad . I'm not totally satisfied in the way things work just now but at least i can drive with waze on for 10km (the longest i drove today). Tomorrow more test while driving to the cottage almost 300km away.
I have had it working on some older versions of ics roms, but really don't want to go back there..

Try JVK,JVT,JW4,JVU modems (from Rom Manager it's easy)
Toivottavasti joku noista toimii kunnol myös gps:s!
Muute, lisää mut google talkis [email protected]

Tried. Only with some luck.. GPS gets fix, keeps it for a while then loses fix and doesn't seem to get it back. Sigh.
Think I'm going totally stock or Darky's and test there. And then if things work like they used to, come back to ICS roms.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
I'm getting good results with JVT. GPS locks pretty well( tested on bus yesterday).
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
All modems worked as badly.
Then I changed kernel to semaphore and was able to drive 160 km with only few times losing fix.
More testing needed though..

Hi!
I had tried different modems but none of them worked so the only solution I found was to open up my SGS and then do some hardware fixes....had to bend the connection "wire" of GPS. Now the contact between GPS and antenna is good, so this means I get the satellite lock in few second, even indoors!
Just search Google or Youtube and you will find how to do it.
Cleared all GPS stuff with GPS aids (yes I payed 2€ for it but was getting desperate)
and now it has been working just great for about 4 days.
I also flashed another ROM prior to clearing, and it (gps) worked ok after the flash. I'm not sure which or both did the trick but now it's working..
I'm currently on slim ICS and my modem is JW4.

GPS AIDS is a great app to improve your signal.in settings u can NTP server,its usually set to world or north America.change to your region.this will improve your signal significantly.

[Q] Proximity sensor issue

Hello everyone,
I have an annoying issue with the proximity sensor of my Galaxy Note. I have searched around but I can not find any answer to this common problem.
Regardless of the rom I am using, including the stock rom, the sensor fails to work - so the screen is not turning off during calls even though this setting is enabled.
Also, I have tested the proximity sensor using the tools on android app market as well as testing with the inbuilt one - always reads 0.
Any idea how to proceed? I am sure this would help a lot of people...
Have you tested it using the *#0*# and test the proximity there. May be a hardware failure

I did test it there. I get the same problem - just reports 0.
Does that basically mean the sensor is dead?
May be

(help) Galaxy s diaplay turned pink

My phone's diaplay has turned pink.But when I press the home button to open task manager then the area behind recent apps dialog box becomes as it should be.
So please anyone could tell me if it could be repaired or the screen is to be changed!
Thanks in advance
Hmmm. This is interesting.
Did this just suddenly happen or did something happen to it, eg. Did you flash a rom/kernel or did to get submerged in water etc
If it did get submerged in water, its likely a hardware fault
Try flash in Sempahore GB, that has Voodoo colour, and see if that changes anything - if not, its likely a hardware fault

Follow what @Soryuu said to do. In my opinion, if this is a hardware issue (display to be changed), then you better buy a used phone as it costs equal to the display. Or you may use it as your secondary phone and buy a new quad core phone

Maybe a hardware issue like that:

but if there's something wrong with the display then why the area behind the recent dialog box ok

That's probably why - when you reassembled the phone you must have also done something to the screen digitiser without realising.

Check that the display flex cable is properly seated. Or see if you can tune it out with colour calibration.

yeah the display cable is properly seated but then also the display is as it is
What about using colour calibration? Have you tried that?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Try to clean the screen connectors or try with another display.
Good luck
Any news about the problem with the display???

yes i m using an app called screen adjuster and the screen is fine for now but the responsiveness of touch is a lil bit slow.
Okay so your display works now ...and it is not damaged ...

Did you first try colour calibrating the screen before you installed the screen adjuster app??

sorry, but how to do that?
i just installed the app and then just adjusted the brightness accordingly
What ROM are you using? Most ROMs for i9000 have colour adjustment built into settings.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Same setting point in CM 10.x
In CM 11 it is called "color calibration" under "Other device options"
thanks
Thanks for the help but i have tried this several times.
but it is same. !!!
Not really satisfying but the main thing is your display works ... :good:
