Hi guys!!
Today I received the LG Nexus 4 but the accelerometer does not work, I installed Android Sensor Box, and shows how it does not move, you can only move to the right or left, but did not up and down.
Sorry for my English ....
Is that problem HW or SW? I think HW ...
Hope response
Regards,
trek
I installed that app and it shows all movements on my nexus4, there's probably a hardware problem with yours.
You should probably try another app that's using the sensors first before returning it, though

I just installed Sensortest, and there are three numbers, 0, 1 and 2, the only number that remains fixed is 1, 0 and 2 change their value if I move the phone.
I haven sent an e-mail to Google. :crying:

Likely software issue. Try installing Beach Buggy game and confirm accelerometer controls are working.

On my third galaxy note now, read more about it here.
The gyroscope isn't working, I've tried calibrating it many times and I did a factory reset of the phone.
Is there a way to fix this or am I screwed?
i think i have the same problem! the accelerometer works perfectly, but the gyro doesn't move at all while calibration, is that what u r facing?

Yeah, the gyro ball isn't moving at all during calibration. The accelerometer is moving correctly only after calibrating it, but after some time the ball can be on the left side when it's supposed to be on the right side or something like that.. I'd hate to be forced to send this one back as well... pretty tired of sending back replacements and on Samsung's bad quality control of their new released product...
though the gyro isn't getting calibrated, but i think it's working perfectly. correct me if i'm wrong, maybe some1 who has used other phones having gyro may know better
For me the ball in calibration menu is not moving at all. However, if I dial *#0*# and select sensors, readings from gyro are ok. Seems like a software problem.

Indeed. If you download a sensor checker you will see it is working perfectly... the little ball in the calibrator doesn't just move.. = software.

Forget me if I'm wrong but the ball shouldn't move should it? Little test for you guys, go into calibration and move the phone around, do you feel a slight pull from the phone when moving it? as if you were holding a spinning gyroscope? Mine does this, its a weird sensation but if it does do this then your gyroscope is working fine. I think if the ball moved the gyroscope would be broken because its suppose to stay dead centre?

Hello all!
I also thought my gyro wasn't working, because the calibration ball stood still. Before I knew about the sensor test code, I found a nice app to test it, called GyroRotate. It basically just shows a colored cube which rotates if you rotate the phone. Seems to be working great on my phone. The only thing is that when I do 360 degrees with phone, the cube seems to have rotated only 180 degrees. I don't know if this is the gyroscope reporting such values, or the app is coded in such a way.
I didn't come to the conclusion that there is something wrong with the gyroscope because the ball isn't moving during calibration. But because screen rotate will work randomly and I need to calibrate it again for it to work until it starts acting weird again. For an example, if I tilt my phone to the right it will act as if I tilted it to the left. Sometimes it will act as if I was holding the phone in landscape mode when I'm not etc.. Really annoying.
Edit: I also have problems with playing games like Labyrinth where the ball won't respond accuratelly to how I am moving the phone.. It will work if I calibrate the phone but after a while it will stop working again.. I also did the *#0*# test and it said PASS.

I don't actually have a Note yet, it's in the mail, but could it be that you have to hold on the screen for it to work? The reason why I bring this up is because, correct me if I'm wrong, in the browser if you press and hold onto the screen with two fingers and move the Note it zooms in/out, and this function uses the gyro, I believe.
k1ng617: no, at least for my Note, the ball stays in the center whether I put it on the table or pick it up and wave/rotate all over the place.

How about in the browser does the two-finger hold and zoom work? Or the move an item across homescreens work by motion? Phonearena says this is handled by the gyro. If it does it might just mean the application is broken.

Yes, the two-finger zoom works flawlessly. The motion-icon-moving does work, although I can't seem to always get it to work.. But I'm guessing it's using accelerometer, since I have to move the device left/right (this also works if I don't rotate the phone at all and keep it straight while moving left/right)
My Note's gyro is broken too It's easy to test the gyro with e.g. google sky map
Hi guys,
I have a problem with my gyro or accelarometer i dont know which is the problem... In short, When I use ICS ROM i used an application which uses motion sensors to move. Even though i do not move the phone, it is moving itself... Anyway i thought that it was an error of the application... Now i'm on JB... when I looking the options I entered "MOTION" section... I tried the "Pan to browse images" demo ... When i testing the demo i realize that it is again moving itself....
How can i solve this issue? Which sensor has a problem and how can it be fixed ? thanks...
did u calibrate the gyroscope and accelerometer ?
settings > display and last 2 options.. on ICS stock rom

No mate, Fully uncover.. even there is no screen protector... In every angle, it moves towards to right of the phone... if the phone in vertical position it moves towards to right (phone's right) If the phone in horizantal position it moves up (again the phone's right).... Whatever the position sensor is moving towards to the phones right...
had it been happening since the first day u had the phone.. go to a service centre

It is not possible mate... My phone has no guaratee in Turkey... Our state policy is strict about these products... If you want guarantee in Turkey, you should buy it from Turkey... I got my phone from outside of the country... Therefore, I have no option this option... Is there program or mod to fix it ?

If it is a hardware problem, it cannot be fixed by any program/software..
1.Hold the phone tight in your hand.
2.Move it fast in a circle of 8 movement for 10 seconds.
This action resets the Gyro in the phone.

I expect you have a hardware problem then if this does not solve your issue permanently.
I'm glad I've taught you a new tip but I'm sorry i can't help you further
1.Turn on your display and wake app like the paintsoft.
2.Put your Z1 onto a insulated one, like rubber sheet and your Z1 has to be naked.(without any cases)
3.Wait 30sec or more.
4.Draw a line, and during drawing, touch the side panel. Left side and right side should be touched by two fingers. and cover of microUSB port and sim port should not be touched.
5.About 70-80%, You can reproduce the problem.
The movie is here
http://youtu.be/CeAw17LrdKE
This problem may be caused by bad insulating.
But I don't know this problem is occurred in all Z1s.
This problem of touch panel can be occurred variable timings.
People who playing games or using pattern lock will recognize this problem easily. but difficult for who Not playing games or Not using pattern lock.
This method can detect the potential error of your Z1 it looks no problem.
Please test your Z1. and if the problem is reproduced, you should go to store and make a claim!
and replaced one if you get, please re-test and report here.

My Z1 also have this problem. After 40seconds i even didn't have to touch this two sides of phone.
For few weeks I never saw that problem on mine so I was not worry about it but today I tested few nice games and I realized that after a minute playing the game (Minimotor or HAWX) the virtual joystick stopping working. I have to retouch the joystick with my hand or take off my hand from the phone. All the time.
My question: this is a Hardware problem?

This ploblem can solve by updating the driver software. like Xperia tabletZ.
Hang in there!
In the next week i will buy this phone when i have enough money.
How often come the problem?

How it's possible the problem of the touch screen is because is too sensitive? I hope there is a solution via software but for there is some lack of insulated between the touch screen and the rest of the phone. That why when you touch the frame the touch respond very badly.

I think the screen react to very few electrostatic.like touching side panel.
so to make less sharp ,It will be ok. perhaps.
Confirm the problem in my device, hopefully a fix can be found, mine ain't so bad I guess cos it happens only when I press the sides

Actually, It is reported that replaced one has this issue too in Japan.
Sony don't recognize this issue yet!
I did a video by myself and I don't get it! Where is the problem? I mean where is the problem causing the touch screen failing to work. The only 1 thing what I am sure is if I leave the phone for 20, 30 seconds the issue show up with my touch screen with or without touch the aluminum frame.

Exactly, I think we are close. The problem appear after long or prolonged use with the touch screen.
No issues here, i tested for like 20 minutes and its perfect here
No issues with games, paint or the service test

Hi guys! I just upgrade from a Nexus 5 to S6 Edge. I am having an issue with this new phone not sure if it is affecting everyone or just me... :/
I am having an issue to swipe on some applications. One of the application is Swiftkey. I find it very hard to swipe to delete whole word. (You need to have Swiftly Flow disabled.) My music player (ZPlayer) i also hard it hard to swipe to skip songs as well. Is it just me or everyone is having this issue? I have used those touchscreen tester application and find my touchscreen to be fine.

No solution so far but just living with it... I am surprised that this matter is not noticed by many users yet. :/
Had a problem with swipes being interrupted and taps registering multiple times. Got the screen replaced through warranty and the problem is gone. The problem seemed to be caused by pressure making the digitizer make contact with some other part causing erratic touch response.

Hey XDA,
Has anyone else been experiencing random "clicking" (input) in the Cardboard App and YouTube Cardboard Videos? Every 5 seconds or so my magnetometer will spike and cause clicking in these apps making them unusable, if you can please download this app and check your magnetometer readout as to confirm if this issue is just me or if it could be affecting more devices, screenshot attached below of the app and issue I mention.
I have the same problem with my vr, that is working fine with my old galaxy s4.
This is my test, it seems to be a little more accurate, but the issue remain!
Is there any way to turn off magnetometer and use simply a joystick?
Edit: I wrote an email to oneplus support team, next step is an hard reset
Edit2: I have tryed to disable magnetometer sensor, even so it continues to work buggy

Thanks for the feedback, please report back if you go through with a hard reset and any follow up with the Oneplus team, hate this to become an RMA issue, I made a custom Cardboard profile that indicates I'm using a button and not the magnetometer sensor for input but it still picks up that as input too, so I'm guessing there's no way to disable that easily.
This is a well known issue and OnePlus claims they have it fixed and it should be in the next OTA. That being said....I don't trust them and already have my return label if they don't finally fix this crap this week.
