[Q] Orientation sensor not working - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
The orientation sensor on my phone has stopped working for a while , I keep flashing kernels and ROMS but I am not able to pinpoint what action led to it.
Is there a way i can reset sensor ? I installed some apps which give sensor values back , it seems the other sensors are working fine but the app is not able to get any values for the orientation sensor . Is there a way to reset the sensor or look at some files / drivers which might have stopped the sensor from working..
My last activity i did on phone : Install a version of coCore kernel , it was unstable hence i flashed my phone with XXLQ4 but the sensor is still not working. Tried installing the latest coCore E 8.2 , problem still persists . I doubt it has anything to do with kernel or flash. Any help appreciated..

You need to downgrade to GB, and calibrate it there. Do downgrade by guide, look for it.

Ok .. so downgrade to GB calibrate and then again update to JB ?
Is that the process ? I can give it a try....
btw how does the GB downgrade help ?

I'm doing that for recalibrate my horizontal sensor, and works well.
Just follow the downgrade guide exactly, recalibrate, upgrade and all will be fine.

I downgraded to gingerbread but when i try to calibrate horizontal sensor..
the calibration causes the phone to restart
what could be wrong ?

Did you do factory reset, and wipe cache?

yes .. factory reset .. cache wipe ...
still same problem... is there a way to determine if its a hardware issue ?

Update : So the downgrade didnt work , upgraded again to JB XXLQL and suddenly the orientation started working..
Then tried to root using the root.zip , the orientation stopped working again...
Had to re flash XXLQL again and the orientation is working ... but have to keep it unrooted..
Definitely not a hardware issue..

Try with some CM, maybe 10.1. You can install it without root, but it will be rooted when you install it. It can be installed from stock recovery.

Doing a clean install will mostly eliminate problems when flashing Kingdroid Roms?
question here:
Im planning to flash Kingdroid v5.1.1 over version 5.0. Can i Flash it without doing any wipes? or wiping still a necessary step?
thanks for ur inputs. i will try and post the result soonest.

No camera on kingdroid 5.1
I have flashed the rom as per the procedure three times but the problem of no camera persists.... Please help. Somebody...
new update: i've tried to redo overall flashing but the wifi still prob but i notice on other AP e.g in my branch office and also public wifi e.g starbucks was no prob. I guess maybe the network config is causing this prob in my GNote.

no...he Was working well before...
What have you done just before that error occurs?e.g.:tweaks,mods...
if you don't know what's the problem i suggest you to wipe all from recovery (if you want you can use titanium to backup apps and restore them) or to make a clean install with odin
Faced this error long time ago it doesn't help even if you flash stock through Odin even the people at the service centre don't know how to fix this
Fortunately I got it fixed
Here what u do
Root sgm
Install cwm
Install cmx
Wipe
Install touchwizcm
Use for a day you will notice that sometimes it works and sometimes there is error
Now when camera works quickly install latest firmware through Odin and you are done.

[Q] Xperia X8 On GingerXperia 2.3.7 Wifi Error

Hello i recently flashed Gingexrperia to my Xperia X8 and i can not open or close the wifi it says error.
1) I checked the wifi modules the tiwlan.ko and the sdio.ko and they are there (location : /system/lib/modules)
2) rooted phone
3) STOCK Kernel
4) Wifi had a problem even with android 2.1 and the thing is that Factory reset would usually fix it but i tried that on the 2.3.7 Rom and nothing.....
So thank you and please help.
Is your WiFi working when you are on STOCK ROM??
If no then it's probably hardware problem
If It's working on STOCK then check is WiFi working in ROM thread ,maybe developer couldn't solve wifi bug so he left it like that
If developer made WiFi working then try this:
Full wipe,flash chache partition,mount /system,format/system ,wipe dalvik chache,wipe battery stats
Re-flash rom
Thanks for your answer.
1)Yes the wifi worked occasionally with the stock rom and by occasionally i mean that when it was not working i had to factory reset a bunch of times to get it working.
2)No other Xperia X8 users have a similar problem by using this Rom (i checked and the only thing that was the cause was the kernel)
Also i have tried many Stock kernel Roms and they had wifi fix and wifi built in but the same thing happened every time.
3) I have already done those things but none of this work (or all of them simultaneously)
If problem occurs on every ROM you install then it's hardware or software problem(not sure where WiFi belongs)
But ask some other xda user who knows things better than me

When i open camera and press takke pic. its not Auto Focusing and the Lights turn on and nothing happends.
Then its just stay whit full lights on and dosent do ****
So i have to press lockscreen button and then back on.
You guys have any idea?
Thx....
Did you wipe data/cache before upgrading?
It's a bug from Sony, since there are many including myself, suffering from it. It made me downgrade to 4.3 since camera is a big deal on this phone.

LB = locked bootloader
UB = unlocked bootloader
I also used @Nut's .757, my bootloader is locked and have never suffered from any camera issues.
Unfortunately my only suggestions would be to wipe cache..

I have noticed a trend with UB and camera issues. are you using a custom kernel? If not, i would consider relocking your bootloader or flashing your back up if you made one before you unlocked. Once thats done and you confirm camera working on .534.. follow this quide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52407809&postcount=2 this page is by @gregbradley
Hopefully everythin gwill work for you.

Go back to 534 using flashtool, then re-root your phone, then install a custom recovery, then install a custom rom, don't boot, boot to flashmode and flash the global or region specific FTF for your phone not the stripped version, obviously taking care not to include TA and System in the flash, also don't perform a wipe from within flashtool on the second flash.
Done
Obviously do this only when all else has failed, should only take around 20 minutes max

No I dont think so, I'm pretty sure you can relock your bootloader. There should be a guide in the develpment section.

I had this issue with .681 using nut method aswell.
Followed all directions and wiped prior to flash in recovery. All was fine but.camera was pitch black and fuzzy it would take a picture with flash but only crap.
All I had to do was
back up using titanium
Enter recovery and factory reset
Wipe dalvic cache
Reboot
Reinstall vital data only from titanium
Do not restore any camera app or data
Working perfectly.
Hope this helps and is untested on .757

Front camera not working

I'm using teh latest version of Mokee (4.4.4) on my LG P880, the rear camera works well, but when I switch to front camera I get an error saying "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped." I tried cleaning the camera app's cache and I also tried using another camera app that I downloaded from Google Play but they're both not working. Is there any way to fix this bug? Thanks!
Go to the development page of your custom rom and check if only your front camera doesnt work. If it is reported as issue etc.
Then you can try to clean install the rom wipe everything needed and clean istall rom and gapps.

You can also try to clear cache/data of the camera app in the settings. If the front camera was working earlier with this rom.
EDIT: You can also check for ROM updates and update it if any updates availible.
I think this thread can be closed i don't have the phones anymore.
