All right, so a while ago say..few hours or a day ago, I dropped my phone. Nothing seemed wrong, everything was working fine. Until I decided to go play Abduction World Attack. It's a game where you tilt the G1 and the little character moves according to how you tilt it. Surprise Surprise I ran into my problem. The little avatar wouldn't move and it was just stuck there no matter how I turned my phone. I also just noticed that auto-rotate won't work. I believe it's because the accelerometer is broken...Anyone have any advice on how to fix this or calibrate it? I've tried calibrating inside apps that use the accelerometer. I've searched but to no avail. Help will be appreciated Thank-you.
[Edit]: A wipe has fixed this! =)
If your under warranty, you may want to try and get it exchanged. Let T-Mobile/HTC know that it just stopped working.
If you are out of warranty, you can attempt at looking for a solution by taking apart the phone. The official manual is here
The manual has all of the disassemble instructions. Hopefully that will lead you to a solution.
Sounds like it could be a hardware issue but no harm in testing to see if it is a software one. Tried rebooting the mobile? If so see if other programs like Bubble works. If not then a final resort would be a reflash to at least eliminate the software side of things.
If its no go then best to try and get it exchanged...
I've fixed it guys ^^ Seemed like a wipe would do it. I changed to the hero build for a second and then reflash CM after a wipe and accelerometer is fixed. Thanks for the suggestions though! Greatly appreciated
The power of the mighty wipe ^_- Good to hear its been sorted. Since you're the OP too, could you edit the title to SOLVED so people know?

Sure. OP and title has been updated!
Sure wish I had your luck. I'm having the same problem and a wipe didn't do me any good.
I have tried several different mods and none of them work.
tested with browser, bubble, Papi game apps, and Accelerometer xyz Values.
I don't have any akm files located in /data/misc
I do have a /system/bin/akmd but my ps output doesn't show it running.

Most likely a hardware problem then mate. You could try un-rooting and see if the accelerometer works.
If I install RC29 then the accelerometer works without issue. So that rules out hardware issue.
Here is another thread I found that goes in much more detail about what I am experiencing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533749
so far there isn't any movement on this thread. I'm surprised that this issue isn't more wide spread.
I just had the accelerometer on my HTC Sapphire go belly up.
Auto-rotate was broken, compass apps wouldn't initialize, tilting maze games would slowly move the ball to the top left side regardless of actual tilting, etc..
Reboot didn't fix it. However I did have a file under /data/misc/akmd_set.txt and most of the values in it were set to 0.
I renamed that file to akmd_set.txt, then killed akmd, per instructions in a neighboring thread.
akmd rose from its ashes, a new akmd_set.txt automagically appeared, with lots of different numbers for each value in it. All my accelerometer-depending features were happy again.
so yay, and all that.
As a side-note, I've been playing with some not insignificant magnets on my desk, and I'm wondering if abnormal magnetic fields around my phone might have caused the accelerometer miscalibration?
Good for my G1 too.
Kudos to the OP, this solution worked perfectly on my G1 with the same symptoms. Many Thanks!
Ive installed the latest cyanogen mod rom and i have been using it for a while. There are a few bugs i have noticed through my use of the phone and they are kinda getting annoying.
First of all i have noticed randomly while i am listening to music the music app that came with cyanogen will freeze up and then it will start again but after it does that there is no sound. And when i force close the application, i use the controls on the side of the phone to change the volume and it will only change the media volume not the ringer volume. to fix this when it happens i have been having to restart the phone and go on from there.
Another bug i have been noticing is when i turn the phone to vibrate mode using the controls on the left of the phone when i recieve a text i do not get a notification. I would excpect that it would vibrate as well.
Another one is that when i am listening to music and i recieve a text it will turn off the sound similar to the first bug i talked about. It says it is still playing but there is no sound coming from it. To fix it i have been having to restart the phone.
To listen to my music with my earphones i have an adapter and some times when i am using that the phone will go into a reboot loop until i take out the adapter and then once the phone is back up plug the adapter back in.
These are all quite annoying and i would like to see if you guys have any input on the matter. Thank you
I don't think that any of these are platform bugs, but rather are cyanogen bugs. I suggest you post bug reports to cyanogen's bug tracker.

Well i thought about that as well but i looked at the rules for the bug tracker and i am currently in the process of making more accurate bug reports for the bug tracker. I came here to see if i could get any quick fixes or to ask if these are common things or i may just have to format my phone and reinstall cyanogen. So yeah i hope i can get some feedback from other users. I may just have to format as i said but i hope that there could be something else i could do. dont want to just go to all that trouble to not get it fixed.
edit: I looked further into the bug tracker for cyanogen and i dont have the required materials to make a report as i dont have a log of the issue. its just something that tends to happen.
Its happening alot today and well yeah its getting really bad, i dont think there is anything wrong with my phone. So i think i am just going to format and reinstall a new rom. idk if i will stay cyanogen or not. anyone have any recomendations for the rom i should install?
Super D is pretty awesome. It's an improvement on the Cyan roms. So you get Cyan plus some extras.
Could i get a link to the correct version i should use?
Yep here is the link for Super D
thank you installed it and i am no longer having any issues. Wonderful
The audio both from the speaker and headphones only seems to work after a reboot. I have no idea when it stops functioning.
This was a problem from day 1 with the free elephant kid book using the Read To Me function. I just had it happen with the music player, both the native one and MortPlayer. I had originally assumed it was a glitch with the book.
If a reboot fixes the problem, it's a software issue, right? Why did a search here not produce any similar threads? If I'm alone here, then it's a hardware issue and I'll need to unroot and return it, right?

Your search method must be flawed, as this is a known & frequently discussed issue.

It's defective. Get a new one.
Thanks for the reply.
Now to unroot...
Mine had the same exact problem. Audio usually stopped working after the screen went to sleep for the first time after a reboot. I recently flashed the 900mhz "screamer" overclock kernel and I've yet to have an audio problem since then. As much sense as that does or doesn't make, it seemed to fix the problem for me. Its worth a try. Hope it works for you (if you haven't already unrooted and returned by now)

When you get your hands on the new one, before you leave the store do this. After power on & such, try the audio (V0l + -). Works? Put to sleep for >10sec. Wake & test audio. No-work? Reboot, (Long power press) Try sleep/wake sequence again. If it works you are golden, now check a few other things & go home & root it! If it fails the test, don't let the Nook Genius tell you that you should let it charge for at least 4 hrs. before testing. The three that I have received had between 50% & 90% charge OOB. That's plenty for it to work properly, assuming the battery level meter is accurate. Put together your own checklist based on info on this forum. Crossword to test edges of screen, kbd. when charging from wall adapter etc.
Good luck, when you get a good one they are solid!

Interesting! That would support the thinking that this issue is related to timing & initializing the audio codec or something related. Hardware specs may be skewed just enough for it to not work when waking up. That's actually encouraging! Means that all those with this problem may see a F/W fix if they don't want to re-clock it.
Cheers,

Well, I unrooted and restored it to factory new using the 9 reboot method. This brought the device back to 1.0.0. I then went back to the store. The manager came out, took the device, and said "it needed 1.0.1 to fix the problem. Let me load it for you." I was thinking, "whatever dude. It had 1.0.1 on it and it still had the issue." But the guy was super nice and ran off with the device to some back office. He came back while it was installing 1.0.1 and it's working fine now. I kept trying to get it to recreate the problem with no luck. (So it actually is good luck.)
I'm assuming the 1.0.1 software update didn't install properly the first time.
I could have done all that myself without going to the store.

That's interesting. I had the audio/sleep problem with 1.0.0 & exchanged it for another 1.0.0 that worked fine. ?????
Hey guys, I searched and didn't see anything on this -- even Google did not turn up any results. I saw on the HTC One X sometimes there would be audio stutter/skips with the Beats EQ on. Sometimes when I'm playing music the audio will just glitch and stutter for no apparent reason. It is random. Has anyone else experienced this? It happened with the stock ROM as well as with ARHD7.

I am having this problem with the HTC One, streaming via bluetooth. I have raised the problem with HTC tech and waiting for a response.
I'm finding it hard to believe no one else has this problem. If it's a hardware issue I fully expect HTC to replace my unit. I will even take a recording of the stutter if necessary.
My audio will make weird noise in certain tracks and bass tones out of no where with beats on or off

I had this with my HTC One and it has been reported that it is a wifi issue. Turn it of (wifi) and it should work OK, mine does. It is a pain to keep switching wifi of and on so I found an app called A2DP volume in the play store that does it automatically.

Bumping to see if anyone else has this...
I am having this issue only when stream over BT.

Faulty sdcard possibly or your files are corrupt. Have you done an MP3 check on them?

I'm also experiencing this. Except mine skips/stutters even with beats off.
Running ARHD8.0 stock kernel w/purexaudio. I'm not sure which version of purexaudio the ARHD installed, but I went ahead and installed the most current version (v4.0) to see if it helps. So far no skipping, but I haven't tested that long yet..
There is a known issue that if you are using Adblock or a similar piece of software which modifies the hosts file that Pandora will stutter. Are you using an actual file, or are you using a buffered service that could be having an issue because of this?

It happens in the regular music player too; however I reinstalled ARHD8.1 and am not selecting adaway hosts files. I'll report back on the issue.. Thanks for the tip!
I am not using AdAway, and it happens in Play Music over the headphone jack. Haven't tested it with Bluetooth. I plan on installing TrickDroid sometime soon; I will definitely update this thread when I do and see if it still happens. Curiously, it's been happening less lately. Only once or twice a day.

So I reflashed ARHD8.1 without adblock and Pandora is no longer horribly stuttering. However it still has occasional stutters in both Pandora and Google Music. Still not sure what's causing it.

I reflashed without PureXAudio and the occasional skips/stutters still happens. Maybe once every couple minutes, really annoying considering this happened on my Note 2 also, which is why I bought the HTC One. I initially thought it might be a rogue app, but I don't have anything that could be causing it besides maybe groove IP disconnecting/reconnecting, or tasker. However I disabled both apps and the stutters still happen..

In terms of Bluetooth, the largest thing that could change in the near future would be if we get an official 4.2+ or the rumored 4.3 release, as the BT stack is recoded in that code base. This has the potential to change the game, but really considering your issue still seems to be isolated to your devices and not everyone's though, I've gotta think we're overlooking something. The further clue that you are saying this happened on your Note 2 as well also makes me wonder what else is happening.
Is this stuttering possibly during PBAP, MAP or some other profile saturating the connection with its own traffic? Is this on all BT devices that you've tested against or are we dealing with a dodgy car kit/speaker instead of a phone difficulty?

I dont use blue tooth, this is strictly wired 3.5mm connections. I don't have any uncommon apps besides tasker/secure settings/busybox/grooveip/xposed installer that were on both my note 2 and htc one. The only apps that have SU access are secure settings, xposed installer, seeder, solid explorer, betterbattery stats, and tasker.
I was almost sure that the stutter/skips were caused by purexaudio, but I guess not since I removed it.
I had this as well, does it sound like the stuff in this thread?:

I personally had it fixed when I flashed CM 10.1 nightlies, so I'm guessing it's a software issue, more specifically maybe even androidHD

It sounds similar, sometimes the audio would cut out entirely for a third of a second, but it was not happening nearly as frequent as yours. Mine only happened once every couple minutes. Also I have since flashed bulletproof 1.9 kernel with purexaudio 4.0 and the problem seems to have gone away. However, more testing needs to be done..
I'm thinking it has something to do with CPU usage, like it running a process in the background that disrupts the audio output. But I don't know if anything can be done about that.
I'm running TD 9.1, and prior was on 8.0. Tried both stock kernel, and a few other ones with no luck. At first when the sounds starts playing, the left speaker works fine, then with in a sec, it will fad to almost nothing. Is this something someone else has encountered? For all I know it has been like this since day one.. But I don't believe so.
Edit: I have also tried clean installs. i have not tried other roms yet.
Double edit: My xda search is not working, but google did for me. Found one other person having somewhat the same issue, but it was never answered. I hate to bump an old tread like that, after i have posted mine already.

I have the exact same issue. Tried million ROMs, sound patches and tricks but nothing change. The easiest way to see the difference between the two speakers is to run the Audio Test using HTC Function Test by dialing *#*#3424#*#*
Finally, I managed to get S-Off and now I'm going to get back to 100% stock flashing RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.29.1540.3.exe, I'll do the test again and update the post.
EDIT: I'm full stock and it didn't fix it I guess I have to send it back...
BTW, what did you do? Did you fixed yours?
Running Sinless 5.1.5 now with elemental, everything works 100%. I guess for some reason my phone just didn't like TD, we all know they have a personality of there own..
Sorry for the long wait before response, I don't pay attention very well.
