[Q] [CM10] Screen only rotates when held top down - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
My GT-I9000 only rotates when i hold it so that the screen faces down (like when you lay in the bed and hold the device above your head). My device runs CM10 (4.1.2) but I already had this problem when it was on DarkyRom 11.0 (CM9 based). Is there a way to calibrate the movement sensors in CM10? What else can I do?
thanks

i have exactly the same problem in TWO other i9000 s. it started after flashing to cm9. i'm surprised that this problem is not well know apparently. if it's any use, my i9000s were bought in germany.

Hi, try this [Setting -> Display -> Rotation.
Try un tick 180 Degrees
Edited: maybe I got you wrong
If you wanna to rotate, then tick all

screen rotation help

does anyone know how to make i9000 fancy rotation animation work? i'v already click the fancy rotation under the spar parts, but nothing happened, and it also said 1.5 only. what is that mean? thanks.
Solved the problem
The answer was here in XDA
Lie galaxy flat.
( back side galaxy isn't flat!)
Setting- Display-Calibrate
Back to normal.
thanks, but it is still not working. i heard that only g1 can have that rotate effect.

[Q] Screen not being sensitive on some parts in ALL CM7 roms?

What's up with this? I noticed it first in GingerDX and Doixnah confirmed it himself, but it is not a rom bug, as it also happens in MiniCM.
In my case I have a Cypress digitizer and the screen is not sensitive on the bottom pixels and on the right border pixels. Very annoying for typing spaces and the letter P, for example.
I have the same problem with my phone...I also have cypress digitizer...
The digitizer causes the problem because synaptics users doesn't have this problem.
I do not think that doixanh or other develop able to fix this bug becaus he don't have cypress...
AndyX has cypress digitizer,
but I don't think that's fixable...
it's hardware problem, not software...
its issue don't available on CM6 rom's and on some app its issuen don't available(like Xda android app(if you move your finger from phisycal keybord to up than scrolling works))
and i know AndyX have cypress....
I have this problem in all ROMs..Even in stock!

hmm... instresting... i don't' have this problem on cm6 and stock...other's have this problem on cm6 and stock?
Basically my phone sometimes recognizes my finger at the bottom of the screen and sometimes not...
It depends on how dry are my fingers.
I noticed a strange thing in launcher pro.
If you swipe from right to left, the screen is not reacting to it, ok. But try it when you set 3 homepages in LP and you are on the last screen! Strangely it works then, you can "overpull" the page easily.
Now this is some strange sh*t :-S

How about changing fling speed in LP options? It might help.
On the other hand, that's the way that Launcher Pro is designed...to be smooth and you don't have to swype from one edge to an another to change screen
Peace, DDI!
hmm in my case this didn't happen in pre-CM7 roms
Had the same problem with my digitizer. Just put in a replacement off eBay and works fine now.

You don't understand. I wrote this because in some case the screen edge is responsive, else it doesn't. So I think this is not hardware related problem. I just mentioned this because it is a strange thing about 2.3 ROMs VS cypress.
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
It isn't a hardware problem, so replacing the digitizer is nonsense.
Definitely, it's not hardware problem.
Just try to rotate screen for 180 degrees (must check 180 in accelerometer settings) and You will see that edge next to the Sonyericsoon logo will become the problematic one. And The edge with buttons will work perfectly.
I have cypress, too and this problem exist only in CM7 roms, on all CM6 rom there is no such issues with screen.
Also, I noticed that this bug doesn't appear in some apps. Also in settings, screen work perfectly.

Nice findings, pal.
i don't have any problem with this in any rom. All screen is sensitive with all roms i've used, GingerDX, KuyaDROID, MiniCM7, MiniCM6, FroyoBread, Floyo, GingerCruzt, stock rom, i'm with Cypress and AX8MT module and it's working fine, no lags, sensitive, and the dual touch is also very fast responding.

[Q] My face is dialing numbers while talking on the phone Grrrrr

My face/ear hits number keys while I'm talking on the phone which sounds off tones and is annoying when talking to someone, especially when I'm talking to my customers. Is there any way to lock the keypad while talking on the phone?

Your screen should go off when you're on the phone, did you make any changes?

I've made no changes.
What ROM are you running.
There's a proximity sensor that is supposed to shut off the screen when the phone is next to your head.
If you hold the phone and place your finger across the top where the ear speaker is, does the screen shut off?
If it doesn't shut off, then you need to check if it is hardware or software prob.
You can get apps that will give you status on the sensor on Google play. Example, Phone Explorer.
With it, you can move your finger over the ear speaker area near the top of the phone and see if the sensor is working. Its range is up to 5 cm, about two inches.
There are also some settings in some roms to override the proximity sensor staying on whenever the headphone jack is in use. The setting in CM10 is that the proximity sensor is ignored when the headphone jack is in use, or not ignored, if you so choose in settings.

I'm using CM9 in Slim Bean 3.1.0 I called my other phone number and the phone screen did turn black whenever i was holding it against my ear. When I take calls for work, I have to press 1 to receive the call and I'm not sure whats happening because when i pressed 1 the screen turned black.
I read that dialing *#*#0588#*#* will change the proximity sensor but it didn't work for me.
I will check out a program you mentioned because I've had two customers hang up on me, they thought we just had a bad connection with all the tones. LOL Thank you!

Here is what came up for Proximity in Phone Explorer:
Name: GP2A Proximity Sensor
Vendor: Sharp
Version: 1
Power: 0.8
Resolutio:n 5.0
Max: 5.0
Range:
Inches: 1
When I ran my finger in front of the sensor, it sensed me only about 1/2 inch away.

I would change the inches range to 2-3 inches, perhaps that will help.

Do you know how to change it? Looks like Phone Explorer won't allow me to change anything, just observe.

I'm not sure if there are apps that allow it, although, script/code can be made so users change it, I'll look into it. Feel free to look for a app that allows it though!
EDIT: Sooo I found the needed coding but it's for an app build. I'm hoping someone already built an app for this though.

Oh crap! Will it work with my phone?
I found this app: Rezound Prox Sensor Calibrator in Google Play store. I'll let you know how it goes!
hmmm,
have you got a dirty screen protector or anything else blocking those little windows next to the ear speaker?

No, nothing's covering it.
The Rezound App is totally not working. The same issue is happening. I wonder if it could be the Slim Bean rom I'm using? Should I try a different rom?
It seems like your sensor calibration is off and I don't know if a rom change will fix it. Did the problem start after flashing slim bean? Is anyone else with Slim Bean reporting same problem
I'm running straight CM10.0 stable build, November 13 build plus Gapps. Proximity is okay.

Yes. The problem started when I flashed Slim Bean. I tried a proximity sensor app but it failed me.
Did you try proximity screen off lite?
It looks like in allows you to set threshold levels in the advanced settings.
You could also try reflashing slim bean if other slim bean users are not having the problem

Yes, I did actually see that app but it scared me away when I read the reviews of all the problems that may accompany it.
I'm gonna try your other idea to flash Slim Bean again. Is there anything I need to do before that like wipe the cache? Perhaps some crap was left behind from all the problems I was having flashing a couple weeks ago?

Clear cache and dalvik before reflashing. If it still doesn't work, I'd say to try a different ROM.

Screen Standby + HDMI Rotation + Non-Stock

Hey Guy and Gals,
Just wondering if anyone knows of a ROM that works with Screen Standby that doesn't have the HDMI rotation bug but also isn't stock so that Six Axis works .
I now have an S3 now and want to turn my 2x into a pseudo android game machine I've been using paranoid android cm9 version but it doesn't seem to work with screen standby or maybe screen standby doesn't work with 2x full stop or maybe it's a kernel issue i really don't have the smarts to figure it out.
Thanks in advance for any info that can lead me to my holy grail of roms

[Q] Problem with screen rotation (sensor)

Hello,
I have strange issue with my Xperia Z. I used to use many android based phones, so i believe Z's behaviour is incorrect. How it works - i.e. I have my Z laying on the table, when I launch some app supporting screen rotation i.e. browser, mail etc., it automatically rotates to landscape mode. When it's in landscape mode and I am lifting it up (keeping the device in portrait position) it doesn't switch into portrait mode at all or it's very very delayed. I haven't found any calibration settings in the software, so have no idea what I can do in order to let the screen rotate smoothly after physical position change.
Quick update - both orientation sensor in portrait mode and gyroscope are giving wired results. Can it be calibrated somehow?
Any advice appreciated!
Best regards,
MCC
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* there is calibrations.
This is only available in 4.2.2
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
I have 4.1.2 and the menu is there - i could calibrate gyroscope, but accelerometer calibration was unsuccessful - Error Code 1.
Anyhow after calibration of gyroscope result is the same - horizontal orientation sensor is shifted to the right ;( PLS see attached screenshot.
Best regards,
MCC
I just tried it and it's good on my phone,i don't know if it's a hardware issue.
You try another firmware maybe it's a software problem and maybe if you can update to 4.2.2
