Hi guys
Auto rotation is not working properly on my galaxy s...some times it doesn't even work...I tested it on both ICS and Gingerbread...Really it is hurting me...plss help me to solve this problem...
Thanks in advanced
plsss guys help me...im waiting for your replyyy
If its any help, my auto rotation was pretty buggered as well. It would work on gingerbread but only if you help the phone more vertical than you really needed to. ICS wouldnt work at all.
Mine also wouldn't work properly in google sky maps and similar apps, if you panned left and right, it would also twist the view a bit, difficult to explain but see if sky maps works as expected. Also compass wouldnt work properlly, only worked with phone flat, soon as you tilt it would start to change direction when should be pointing same way.
I went back to various stock roms, different modems, loads of stuff, reflashing boot loaders, unrooting everything and couldnt fix it.
was a hardware fault, no other reason i could see why it wouldnt work, and just got phone replaced under warranty. all good now.
what ROM you use or you are in stock ROM? go to settings/about telephone and write what you see in there

there is no calibration in settings.....what to do now?
I have a similar problem.
Autorotation of apps works ok on Ginger (2.3.5, 2.3.6), but on any ICS that I have tested doesn't work.
ICS has no horizontal calibration, so do not know what else to do.
Any hint?
i have the same problem on I9000 4.1.2 cyanogen mod,any solution?

I'm really sorry if this has been asked already, but I looked and couldn't fine anything.
I just got a used nexus one online, and its working fine except that the auto rotation isn't working. When I tilt the phone nothing happens, sometimes if I turn the screen off and on a couple times the orientation will change, but then I have to do the same thing to get the orientation back to what it was before.
I've had this problem on four different roms, stock 2.1 and 2.2 before I rooted, and then CM5 and CM6 RC1 after. I've tried wiping and reflashing, as well as wiping the rotation settings using Amon_ra's recovery. The only thing that makes me think its a software issue is that the accelerometer seems to work fine in other apps, such as the bubble lever app, and the labyrinth game.
I've looked everywhere and can't find any fix for this issue. I really love this phone otherwise, but rotation is pretty important for me. I'm kind of at a loss at this point, so any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
I know it seems silly but is the box checked under settings : display?
finally got around to updating to GB (after Kies problems). Everything looked ok until I tried the compass.
Nothing seems to be working!
Tried several compass / GPS apps including Google Sky Map but the direction doesn't change with the orientation of the phone.
Anyone else come across this?
I have, I assume, the same problem as you.
I upgraded to 2.3.3 and now the compass doesn't work at all. For one thing, in Google Maps, if I hit the compass button the compass actually flips 180 degrees and points south instead of north. If I rotate the phone the compass rotates with it. In other words it doesn't track North at all. It just stays pointing in the same direction and turns with the phone, like it was stuck. I've tried every compass app I can find and have calibrated it over and over and still the same issue.
One thing I did find was if you type in *#0*# on the phone keypad you will open up a diagnostic screen. Tap the sensor button and you can see the magnetic sensor isn't reading north properly. But if you tap the magnetic button and then run the test is passes fine.
From what I've found browsing the web, it seems to be a common problem with Gingerbread 2.3.3 on HTC phones. So I'm assuming that it's the same problems that's affecting us on the Galaxy S (GT-I9000). And AFAIK, it's a known bug and has been reported to Google.
It's annoying for me, but not in the way that it will effect me in my day to day usage of the phone. I don't need the compass to work as I use Google Maps and GPS to navigate, not the compass. But of course I want it fixed because I do sometimes need to use the compass for other things. And of course because my phone has that feature and I paid for it so make it work FFS!
Anyway, hope there is a fix for it soon and Samsung doesn't take forever to release the update, like it did for Gingerbread. Of course, if someone come up with a fix that you need to be rooted for then I will take the plunge and root my phone. The only reason I haven't done it yet is that I can't find a simple and clear way of doing it on 2.3.3. Every guide I've read seems to be for Froyo and not Gingerbread. And when I downloaded "SuperOneClick" my Comodo Anti-Virus went nuts about a Linux exploit file in it. And although I don't think it was something that could be a danger to my Win 7 box, I cleared it just to be safe.
So, a long reply to basically say, "Me Too!!!11!!11!"

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that it's JVO on mine too.
I have the same problem with the compass. Seems to be a Problem with Gingerbread and all programs that use the compass. Pretty bad news for me as I use it a lot. Looks like I'm going back to Froyo.
Sprint EVO 4G
I confirm that 2.3.4 still has the same prob.

Same problem here
I got a couple of new Galaxy S last week, updated to 2.3 and found that the compass is totallly crazy (specially in one of the phones). I was sure that it worked before on 2.2 but I did not tested properly...thanks for this post, I know I do not have a faulty terminal...just a faulty software
Compass not working on JVP :-(
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I now installed F1 JVP Mod V6 and can confirm that it has a working compass. It's an allover very smooth, stable and fast rom and I think it will be with me for a while.
All gingerbread phone has the same problem, I downgraded my phone to 2.2.1 because of this problem, as I frequently use the compass

WOW........ i am on JVP with CF-root and it realy is fixed.....
Did not worked before I installed Sky map.
Compass fixed with Google Sky maps install!!!
I just installed Google Sky Map and magically, now the compass works in all programs that use it (like Speed HUD, one of my favorites).
too bad they did not fix this with an update, but this does work.... now for that problem with Speech to Text not working in my car....
Had the same problem too. Solved now..... by
1. *#0*#
2. Diagnostic Menu, select "Magnetic"
3. Pressing "Start Test" in the Magnetic Sensor Test Menu, somehow reset the calibration.
4. Go back to Diagnostic Menu, select "Sensor"
5. All the sensor values will be shown, look at the black dial with a red need. If "1 need calibration" is shown just rotate the unit a few times..... then "2 need calibration" when just "3" is indicated .........calibration done. Make sure there no power lines and metal structures are not nearby.
1. *#0*# ?
Dial this? Did not work on my EVO...

Maybe it only works on Samsung Galaxy S?
This thread is about the compass error on these phone. Try the HTC forums to see if there is a solution for compass error on your Evo.

I tried it on mine but the "fix" for the compass doesn't seem to stick. I have to calibrate it every time I want to use it in any program by doing the figure 8 wave.
Hi everyone,
I was up to ICS Rom yesterday, but everytime i unlock screen, i cant touch in the bottom of the screen, cant typing with h, g, j and somewhere around it, but on the right, left or top screen i can still use normal. Does anyone know what happen and how to fix it?
When im in CM7 Rom is was fine and has no problem
PS: Sr for my bad english i really not good in grammar.
Same problem but different area
I have the same issue.
On Apex i had no issues but when i upgraded to SlimICS 3.2. The right side of the screen ocasionally becomes unresponsive.
That is, on any keyboard from approximately the 'i' to backspace horizontally, and from enter to the top of the screen.
This whole zone randomly decides not to work. the only fix is to turn the screen off and then turn the screen on again, or backing out of the application and reloading it. The application can be anything, chrome browser, swiftkey, messages, whatsapp.
Does anyone know what the issue could be?
I'm running slimics3.2 with semaphore ics 1.0
I'm also running slim 3.2 and had the same issue with the sephamore kernal. I just reflashec the essentials and everything worked perfectly for me.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
I used the essentials kernel first and experienced the issue, i thought it was a kernel issue so I flashed semaphore afterwards. But I still have the issue...

I hate to say this, but its probably the fact the phone does not like ICS, it is more than likely some sort of hardware incompatibility issue.
I went through this exact same thing, it was on a 1009 or so build number captivate, no matter what flavor of ICS, none of them would work properly with the touchscreen hardware, there was always a spot of the screen, at the lower center 1/4 portion of the screen, that was unresponsive. Flashing a Froyo or Gingerbread rom, the touchscreen was perfect.
So.. I sold that Captivate, purchaced a refurb Captivate off Ebay, and touchscreen is perfect with ICS (CM9 is what I run).
Wish I had something more helpful, but that's my experience. Good luck with it.
I have a problem with my games which is accelerometer enabled. Mine keeps leaning sideward though i'm hold it in right position. Seems like portrait mode is the default that's why whenever i'm on landscape, its tilting itself without me doing anything. Is there a way to fix it? And another one is the sim tool kit which is removed to my current rom (SlimICS) i found some attachment and I can't make it work. Help please.

I'm having calibration problems too. When I flash to a GB ROM, I can calibrate and get everything works fine. If you're in GB, calibration is in Settings -> Display. (Stock)
I think the reason ICS doesn't have anything calibration is because there isn't an official ICS update for the device. Maybe calibration will be different or something. But I can't use my phone in landscape at all, but using some sensor testing app, my gyroscope and accelerometer work fine. They're just not calibrated.
Try Zdevice Test
Try z-device test from the market and see if accelerometers are working properly. if they are acting weird then it might be a problem with the ROM or something went wrong while installation like required wipe not performed etc.
Try doing a clean ROM install and see if it helps.
Good Luck

It must be a hardware problem, try getting your phone to the nearest Service Center for Android.
Hit Thanks if I helped!
