Hi to everyone,
First of all, i have to apologyze for my english, and just in case if there is another thread about this, but i haven't been able to fnd a solution or anyone with a similar problem.
I have a problem with the g-sensor of my OB, but i think it's a sw issue, as i can calibrate it with apps like gps settings (or something like that) putting the phone on a flat surface, and then i can see that it behaves normally IN THE APP. But then i go to the gallery and it automatically rotates to landscape mode, no matter how i put the phone. It detects that it is always sideways.
So i would like to know it f there is a way of calibrating the system accelerometer (not using 3rd party apps, which works for the app) and fix this problem.
Note: I have tried stock rom 2.2, 2.3 and cyanogenmod and the result is the same, so i have to disable screen rotation at least for reading properly the menus.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

This is a great question as I ran into the same exact problem. My issue started after I downloaded the "de Blob" game which allows you to "calibrate" the sensor based on the orientation of how you want to hold the phone during accelerometer based play. After doing so my auto rotate would turn at awkward times and I found that other games didn't respond appropriately. I tried going back and "re-calibrating" by laying the phone flat but that didn't work. What ended up working for me (as I could not find for the LIFE of me where the "calibrate" feature was in the settings) the "Bubble" app which is basically a level app that tells you if a surface is level. Once I calibrated in the Bubble app, I no longer had the issue. Needles to say I no longer use the accelerometer to play "de Blob" and have emailed him to let him know of the issue. (I haven't gotten a response) Hope this helps. I will be looking forward to other ideas on how to re-calbrate the sensor in case this happens again. I'm sure there is a easier way.
yea i tried the bubble app out and now my gsensor is not working at all no matter what direction i put it in the gsensor does not respond
Really? Sorry man. Worked for me. You may need to start from scratch by wiping your phone and reflashing your ROM
The same problem
Hi are you have some solution. My G-sensor didn't respond too.

They recommend you to mahe "8" signs with your phone in hand (twist it in all direction) because the sensor recalibrates that way. This is othe official advice.
Calibrating with the bubble app should work too. If not - alt+w
I have got the G-Sensor.
From Recovery
backup
Alt+W - delete all
and update to CM last stable
No joke, try shaking your g1 around kind of hard, it might be stuck. Reset it again after that and see what happens, worth a shot.
may sound daft, but have you tried this solution?

it is a quick fix for auto rotate issues, not a permanent solution, but it may help as auto rotate is accellerometer based, as are all the apps you're trying to use
if it works, thanks go to MikeTaylor00, not me, i'm merely a messenger

hey senaia, is this a proven method? Thanks =)
Hi all. I`m experiencing some difficulties with g-sensor. From time to time phone acts weird as if it rotates, changes position from portrait to landscape just lying on a table without being even touched. I don`t know what`s the problem, whether it`s hardware or software. Help me please. sry 4 my english)

Try holding the phone level in your hand, screen up, then move it in a figure 8 motion. This worked on previous phones and should hopefully help this one as well.
Try on many Roms. now on ISC and problem still appears. i'm ready to disable g-sensor. problem is really annoying. i'll make video with this "bug" shortly.
I had some issues with mine as well. I can't say it rotated on its on sitting on a table, but certainly when in my hand when it shouldn't. I wound up using Beautiful Widget's rotate sensor to rotation off. The advantage of the widget is that you can quickly turn it on if you want it.
Even with the rotation turned off with the widget, rotation still occurs when you open the keyboard, which for me, is perfect!
Thanks for the tips! I have used both methods. seems the problem is go away.
I've installed CM10 by kallt_kaffe and I've been quite happy with this rom for some time. But after a couple of days of using this rom, I noticed G-sensor doesn't work properly in games. For example, when I use it as a wheel drive in race games, the cars always turn left a little, so to straighten direction I have to compensate by turning tablet in opposite direction. I tried to calibrate G-sensor. But I didn't find this function in settings. Then I searched CM forums and found out that I'm not alone with this problem. A similar problem occured not only with Galaxy tab 8.9, but also with other devices which use CM10. There were suggestions to calibrate tablet's sensor using apps like Sensor tester, GPS status, but nothing helped. Unfortunately, I haven't found the solution which solves this problem.
I don't have rights to ask this question in developer's thread, so I desided to open separate thread.
Hi friends:
My device is XT1095,and I find a prolem about Gravity induction now:
when I launch the camera app, I found that the interface is abnormal which means that all settings and icons are rotated compared with the normal,I think the problem is the Gravity induction,and I try erase the phone and flash the system many times, they are no work.
anyone who know how to resolve the problem ?
Thank you !
Can you screen shot it? If so, it's probably a software issue. If not, probably hardware related.
I launch some ames
I launch some games rely on it.and I found that I can rotate it left or right,but cant up and down.
Hi there,
I just bought a used Mi 5 to replace my previous one which I lost and I saw it as a good opportunity to try out the MicroG fork of LineageOS. I flashed the newest firmware and installed the OS and it's running quite well all in all – however I have two weird problems:
1. When using mapping software my compass seems way off. Is there an easy way to calibrate it?
2. (Potentially related) The device screen sensor is flipped when held horizontally. The screen orientation seems correct when held as usual, but as soon as I try to take a picture in landscape mode they turn out flipped upside down. Can anybody explain this? Can I overwrite this somehow?
Thanks a lot for any help
PS: I can't edit the title anymore so I'll add this as a separate paragraph. I've had problems with losing my signal at random intervals since I've had the previous Mi 5, with this one it's no different. Is this a known problem for Lineage-based ROMs? Any way to improve the situation there?
Hm.. so I tried the following firmware images from github/XiaomiFirmwareUpdater/firmware_xiaomi_gemini/releases (can't link to this unfortunately):
fw_gemini_miui_MI5Global_V9.6.1.0.OAAMIFD_e569ca4e32_8.0.zip
fw_gemini_miui_MI5_V9.6.1.0.OAACNFD_996b4bcbff_8.0.zip
fw_gemini_miui_MI5Global_8.7.19_7a80214a95_8.0.zip
They all show the same behavior regarding to the camera orientation bug. It's independend of the camera app in use. I also tried enabling and disabling the Camera2 module in Magisk, which did not seem to have any effect. I found a similar issue for the front camera after enabling Camera 2, but this seems to be unrelated.
Does the same happen with non microG versions of LOS?
Have you already calibrated the compass using the gestures in all 3d axis? Search for it on youtube.
