[Q] why my Gyroscope/accelerometer work only in portrait mode? - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I have a Galaxy S Advance Gt I1970, running under Android 4.1.2 (official update). the problem is when i try to play games that require the phone sensors, for example Angry Birds Go or Frisbee Forever, the player always go to the left, but then i tried "Ridiculous Fishing" which is also a game that require sensors and it works perfectly but this game doesn't rotate the phone to the landscape mode, then i tried an application called "accelerometer test" and the result was as expected, i can control the ball when am holding the phone in portrait position bust when it's in landscape, everything is missed up. Any advice please ?
thank you

Recalibrate horizontal sensor. Only in GingerBread you can do that recalibration, because it hapened to me and downgrade and recalibration is single solution i find it.
Good luck

I had the same problem, i fix it getting my phone to samsung city point, it was a hardware problem, your rotation sensor is damaged inside i think ( for mewas this) if you calibrate it i think will change nothing.

G-sensor trouble

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.

Issue About Gyro or accelerometer

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 did it when im in my homescreen.... It really worked... i did it for 30 sec...
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

[Q] [CM10] Screen only rotates when held top down

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

Friend of mine have same problem on I9001. See how it is fixed on that phone. I think probably Skype version problem.
Most OEMs provide flipped output front camera.I don't know the reason
Ffc (flipped front camera)
shut_down
""Friend of mine have same problem on I9001. See how it is fixed on that phone. I think probably Skype version problem.""
mr.harsh
"""Most OEMs provide flipped output front camera.I don't know the reason"""
so we users i9070 have this problem? we just live with it?
i trien switch on auto screen rotate...
then i found out LANDSCAPE MODE esp when rotated "counter clockwise" is fine
so i think guys for us to fix flipped cam is to enable screen rotation... (skype)
however... the "yahoo messenger" video plugin still closes and still NOT letting us use the video calling
tried to take a look at hardware and its hard for the ffcam to manualy maneuver due to the fixed position ribbon cable inside.

It's controlled from kernel and camera libs.
Not really. A simple build.prop value might fix it. I don't remember the value though. You will have to find out..

[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
