Been looking all day, and can't find an answer. I've been trying to calibrate my gyroscope through GPS status, and a few other programs. Also tried doing it through *#0*#, and waving the phone in figure eights. It will calibrate just fine, but when I reboot the settings go away. Anyone have any idea how to fix it?
if your gyroscope is that far out of wack that you need to calibrate it, i think you need a new device.
I honestly don't think I need a new device. When it was stock it worked fine. But I'm on MLG deodex ROM now and that's where the problem started. I even tried nc2 international and dynamic but those all have the same issue for me. My screen rotation works fine. Maybe I meant to say compass not gyro. Not sure if they are one and the same. But when I use a compass app I have to do the figure 8 to calibrate it then if I reboot it resets it back to being all wonky. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mine has never worked correctly from the beginning. It's a note 3 hardware issue. Replacement phone won't help. Here's a screen shot, just to make sure this is what your talking about. In the picture I'm not facing the direction it says.

Have you tried calibrating yours at all though? Try the swinging your phone in a figure 8 for a few seconds, then check it. If it works, try a reboot and see if yours sticks or goes wonky again.

Ya I've tried. Even went in the service menu and got the green line aligned and setup. But just like you, after a reboot is over.

My screen rotation has stopped. It remains on portrait.
I'm guessing I need to exchange the phone.
Any other thoughts or suggestions?
Oh, I'm on the Froyo Beta 2.8.1 of Design Gears'. Been on it for a few days, so I doubt that has anything to do with it.
i hope you have tried pulling down the notifications, and enable auto rotation, or checked it out in the settings....! ! !

Thanks for the suggestiong, but yes, of course Including power off, pull battery reboot; look in several other programs that may fiddle wiht it.
Later, I did one-click back to orig ROM, and it still did it. Went to a 4 hour meeting and after that it works
What I'm afraid will happen now is it will work until my 30 days are up and quit again.
youre lucky that you were able to flash back! my phone did the same thing only when it was stuck in portrait mode I lost all ability to interface via usb... so I was stuck until android magicaly fixed itself today. My phone was stuck like that for 4 days.
Well, I'm back to no rotation, and Screeble is showing as Phone Idle.
I am beginning to think that the sensors on the phone are going out.

I went through the same thing with Assonance. Fixed by installing launcher pro, then recalibrate in display settings, then uninstall launcher pro. I used launcher pro because it has its own screen rotate setting that reset the phones. Give it a try.
Pretty much immediately after posting, I decided to reload my ROM. That fixed it. This happened immediately after doing some software upgrades from the market. Apparently software can screw it up. Or a botched upgrade.
Well, my rotation is broken once again. This is becoming a bit frustrating.
There were 6 apps that updated last night. I'm not sure why/how an app could break rotation. I can toggle it on and off, but the sensor is not working.
I guess I will once again restore to stock, rflash, etc, and see if it comes back. If its the hardware, I wish it would just quite once and for all, and I'd hvae the phone replaced.
This is gonna help so much but that sux

On ultimate captivate rom with jk4 modem and gb's 11811 kernel. All of the sudden the phone froze. Did a 3 button hard reset to boot back up. Everything was fine except for a big problem. The auto rotation doesn't work anymore. Disabled/re enabled in settings. Rebooted. Help please!?

Sounds like a bad flash to me. If it were my device, I would flash stock, master clear, and install the ROM fresh and clean. If the problem recurs, I would re-download the ROM zip. And flash clean again as above.
I had to do all of that on my last flash due to a partially unhappy zip.
When you say that Auto-Rotation isn't working you talking about in any app/location? Or just the home screen?
On some of the Rom's the Home Screen doesn't rotate into landscape mode.
Just an FYI

It doesn't work in any app. Unchecking the box in settings and re checking it doesn't help either. Nothing workS. Maps, browser, youtube etc. It was working on this rom for a month and now it all of the sudden isn't. I'm going to flash to stock to see if its hardware related

Just a heads up: I had to flash over again due to a bad kernel flash. My home screen would not rotate. Through my own trial and error I found that when using Launcher Pro as my default launcher, my home screen rotates. I have been using Launcher Pro for so long I just assumed that it rotated with the stock launcher. This my be your case.
Do you use Screeble?
I've had the rotate problem on multiple roms. I have been using Screeble, and have become suspicious of it.
I am currently on Serindipity 3.5.2 ever since it cfame out. AT that time I stopped using Screeble. It has been good ever since.
I just installed Screeble. If it is Screeble causing my issues, I suspect it will return within a week.
The only way I've been able to fix it is with a fresh flash. That has fixed it every time.
I'll post back if I find it comes back. I'll watch here...interested if you use Screeble or not.

Well...tell you the truth...i have no clue what that is...so id have to say ....no...
Not sure what to tell you then.
I have already taken Screeble off my phone. It was acting up, and I didn't want to chance it making me need to reflash.
Of course, I'm not even sure that app is causing any problem with auto rotate.
If your continues to act up, it'll be interesting to see if it starts working after a fresh re-flash.
Sorry I don't have anything else to offer.
Hello, I've noticed my Galaxy Gear keeps rebooting randomly. It has no problem when stationary but when I'm driving or walking around it just keeps rebooting. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Nope everything is stock. Tried to reboot note 3, tried to reboot the gear. Nothing helped. Tried to factory reset the Gear as well, still didn't fix anything.
I'm wondering if it's something with the accelerometer cause it does fine when it's sitting on my desk.
Maybe a faulty unit with a loose battery connection...?

Run over to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and search for SM-V700.
Download the most relevant image country/carrier, it doesn't have to match up exactly..

Awesome. Oddly, everytime you do anything on this device it seems you need to rerrot and reapply all of your apps. I just put an entire image on it and it kept everything!
Most importantly, I got my camera back
Thank you.

I think you are right, with one caveat. I just went all day without it happening, I disabled the auto screen wake-up though. I think it doesn't have the motion problem if it's not trying to detect any motion.
What did you do with yours? Get a new one?
Ever find a fix for this? Mine does it even with auto wake up disabled and has been since I got the watch. Thinking I may have to send it in for warranty replacement
Temporary Fix to my Problem
Hey, so I had the same exact problem. It was so bad to the point where if I moved the gear at all, it would shut down/reboot. How I fixed it was I turned it on without moving the Gear too much (a very hard task). I kept it on for two hours without moving it; after, I noticed it wouldn't automatically turn off again while I put it on my wrist. I don't know how this fixed the issue, but at the moment it is working well without shutting off/rebooting. I will update you guys on how the Gear is working in the next few days. Hope this clears up any confusion because I know I was very frustrated.
I have the same proble...randomly reboot and sometimes switching off and i can not switch it on again till i put it into the carging case. When the carging started,i remove the watch from the case and i can switch it on. So i dont think its a hardware issue. Will try to put the tizen system on it.
You guys are correct, the moment motion detection is stopped, this gear SMV700 stops rebooting while walking, driving, moving basically.
There is no precise info on this even firmware upgrade doesn't fix it.
Go to System\usr\idc and open file clear_ped.idc with a text editor
look for the line
#Pressure
touch.pressure.scale=0.2
I changed to 0.1, save and close,
Secondly go to System\usr\idc and open file clearpad.idc
look for the line touch.filter.level = 2
I changed the level = 2 to level = 4
Reboot and enjoy.
My touchscreen now works flawlessly and I hope this fix works for others please test and report back your findings.
Remember to hit thanks if I helped you in any way.
You can try other settings, You can change the 4 , from 1-7 1 being most sensitive, not always best and 7 being the least. Each device will be different and vary in results. I wouldn't recommend going to 7 though as your touchscreen might become unresponsive.
I found 4 was the best on my handset,. Good luck.
I did that and I think it's a bit better now...

You need a file manager such as Astro Manager, then just follow the instructions given here... go to System\usr\idc in the file manager.

What Rom and Kernel are you on, I think some 4.3 ROMs still have an issue with the system being read only, I'm by no means a dev and you would need to read about this on whatever ROM you have thread, once you gain access to system being read, write you will have no issue saving.
Try other settings

I'm sorry I'm really not sure why it's like that, as other post said depending on your ROM, it's best to contact the developer who made it. If you're using stock, then reply to me and I'll try and help further

Try pressing and holding power button and volume up until it vibrates 3 times, after you've rebooted the phone.
If that doesn't work:
Best thing to do is link it up to PCCompanion and reset the phone to all it's factory settings. Try that?

Hello guys! I came here to show you this video:
[Search Youtube for XPERIA Z1 タッチ切れ再現法 The method of reproduce] Sorry, new users can't post links it seems. But please check the video out.
I wanted to ask if any of you could give a reasonable explanation of it. If this is a software issue - how could it be reproduced in such a manner, by touching the metal frame of the phone? The video shows it pretty well. I also managed to reproduce the bug like this on my Z1. It has been in service for about 20 days now. I am worried that they might just 'mask' a hardware issue with software filtering. My initial assumption is that this is due to bad grounding? Why else would human contact trigger it? You can see it can be reproduced on-demand like this.
Thanks for reading! I hope someone can explain it.
Actually,you don't have to touch the metal frame!
Just put Z1 on a desk,wait for 30 seconds,touch screen and the bug will happen !

video demonstrates that a touch is being registered when touching the frame. It's kinda weird since why did the screen reacted to the touched frame. I have done that also and it's the same with me. But even after touching the frame and screen registered the touch, still screen fails to produce a continuous touch.
Sometimes it produces phantom touches which can be the cause of the random zooming and highlighting when browsing
Also tried changing the touch filter and failed to save. I think it needs root access
Im also facing such issue like I touched in sketch app & locked phone with other finger.Unlocked it while keeping the finger at same spot,then scolling the finger missed the touch
Also after playing GTA SA for about 30 min the touch sometimes stop responding.Any solutions
I tried above method but nothing works.I don't want to give this phone as I got it in replacement regarding yellow hue issue.

This is really a widespread problem across the globe. even Z1s owners are plagued by this problem and most likely even the z1 compact.
@Banwell13 I've not tried this as my touchscreen problem seems to have fixed itself? Strange.
But i'll definitely be keeping this thread in mind if it re-occurs.
Thanks for your efforts m8, appreciate it.

Think what he ment was if you hold the frame then the issue doesn't occur, well that's what happens on mine at least, putting it down on a desk usually makes the bug show it's face. Holding the frame fixes it.
@dladz, @brapicoco, Guys, we said this 20 times, the issue don't show on our devices in the same mode.
I have this phone last month then return it for screen issue. I just wonder does the software update solve the screen sensitive issue? otherwise it is a great phone. I will buy it again
Nothing has been fixed as far as I can tell.

I really wish that worked for me, I've installed that app 4 different times at least and tried 4 different settings and it never makes a difference. I've noticed the biggest difference when I just forget about it, if I look for it then it drives me crazy. We have root,unlocked bootloader and recovery so now I wait for a real fix.
