Phone doesnt register z axis gyroscope reading - compass spins erratically

Hey!
Ive been noticing an issue with my device, since I think the update to MIUI 11 (but not sure).
Description:
- The compass (and other apps using compass like Google maps) gives incorrect readings, when put horizontally. When put horizontally and kept still, the compass will spin regularly ca 2 degrees per second completely independent from the actual pointing direction. When the phone is kept vertically the compass works normally. I have made a video displaying the correct reading when vertically, and the spinning when kept horizontally: https://youtu.be/xgC4fHqH4Ys
- When checking the underlying gyroscope functionality with "Sensor Multitool", I have come across what I think is an erratic z axis reading. When I spin the phone randomly, the gyroscope in the x and y axis registers adequate readings, but the z axis stays completely flat. I have produced a video showing this behavior: https://youtu.be/1dY_xdF5Nz8
I have found this thread from Aliosa007 ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3972249 ) that describes a very similar issue, but this user had recently flashed a new rom and the problem is attributed with the flashing. The users there assume the issue being a corrupt persist.img and most problem solving techniques involve flashing etc. But my phone is locked and not rooted. Could I also have received a corrupt persist.img during the normal update process recently to MIUI 11.
Currently trying to figure out, what the best way forward is. Wait and hope that this will be fixed with the next update or go the warranty route?
Thanks for helping me out with this one!
Hi.
I'm sorry I won't be very useful since I'm just having the exact same problem as you and don't know how to solve it... My phone isn't flashed either and my compass spins continuously.
I just wanted to know if you found a solution since your original post.
I also wanted to know if you tried factory resetting your phone ? I was thinking about trying that but if you already did and it didn't solve the issue, maybe I won't bother...
Thanks in advance.

Hey Tistou, thanks for your message. I haven't found a solution to the issue yet, unfortunately.
I tried factory resetting the phone but that didn't solve it. Did this problem just occur one day - or was it after you updated the phone? In my case Im not 100% sure it began after the updated and if it didn't, it could be an indication for a hardware issue.
I will keep this thread up to date in case I find a solution to the issue. But at the moment, I am out of ideas. I thought about flashing the phone with an alternative ROM and replace the persist.img. But currently the assumed risk/benefit keep me up from doing that. I'd assume sending Xiaomi feedback on that issue
Best,

Hey,
well I couldn't really tell if it's related to an update : I got my mi 9T pro like two or three weeks ago and updated to 11.0.3 the day I got it...
The weird thing is that I noticed the problem one first time, and then two or three days later the issue solved itself without me doing anything particular and my compass started working normally again... And then two or three days ago it started spinning continuously again... I just hope it's software related and not an hardware issue...
I think I'm just going to wait for the next system update and if doesn't solve the problem I may send the phone back (but I don't wanna ... The phone otherwise is so great...).
I'll update the thread if I find something.
Good luck
Hi there, I had a similar problem a while ago when going from custom rom Android 10 back to miui 10 Android 9. Pop up camera and gyro sensors wouldn't work so no auto rotate either. Simple fix was to flash the persist img in custom recovery, then go into stock camera app and it'll ask to calibrate, after than everything worked fine. This should work for you and everyone else with this problem hopefully.
Flashing persist won't wipe any of your data so don't worries there. I'll see if I can find the file I have it somewhere and I'll send the link.
So really the only way to fix this is to have compatible custom recovery with persist partition, flash the persist.img, but since you have a locked bootloader and stock recovery I don't think you have any options to fix this unfortunately, maybe fastboot rom through miflash? That didn't work for me but it might work for you.

Thank you so much for your response! That keeps my hopes up that I get it solved eventually.
I am currently not planning to unlock my bootloader, I am currently exploring to go the warranty route because that's the easiest way forward. But in case that won't work, I will definitely try to flash the persist.img. I will have to try to get my hands on the persist.img file!
Thanks again!

persist.img is in the fastboot rom, so if you download that and extract you can get the img. You should be able to flash it thru fastboot using adb on PC with the command 'fastboot flash persist persist.img'. no need to unlock bootloader
I'm not gonna be near my PC for a while so won't be able to upload it for you

Sorry sir, but i think you cannot flash persist.img thru fastboot, because it read-only partition ,
I read several times that it must be flashed with twrp (dunno what that means)... But I also read that it makes you lose L1 widevine (dunno what that means either). Could someone enlighten me ?
And do you think the next MIUI update could fix that ?

Not an expert on the matter. But a peripheral knowledge of the matter.
It appears to me that you are new to the matter. So I will use easy language.
TWRP is a so called "custom recovery" for Android that allows users to basically change the underlying firmware/system software (a process often referred to as "flashing") of the device. It is basically the entry point towards conveniently changing system files, that Android normally forbids you to change. To install a costum recovery, the bootloader of the phone has to be unlocked, so that the device can boot into the custom recovery instead of the OS directly. https://www.quora.com/What-is-TWRP-Why-is-it-used?share=1
Widevine L1 is a software part within Android that basically authenticates, that the device at hand is allowed to handle media files that are DRM protected (eg. within Netflix). When Android has been changed from the default configuration (by flashing a custom rom), the software part should revoke the authorization or restrict it. This behavior depends I think on the capability of the custom rom to trick widevine into believing that its genuine.(not so sure about that)
https://www.androidauthority.com/widevine-explained-821935/
Heres hoping that the next update will solve the issue! The issue isnt so dramatic to go the persist.img route. So I will patiently wait for the update. I will keep the thread updated.

Hola @schnodda123, ¿Logaste darle solución? No he podido arreglar mi eje z en mi caso en un Redmi Note 8, estoy algo incomodo, si bien el celular funciona bien el tener el sensor mal es fastidioso

Zuk Z2 Pro password locked

Wonder if anyone can help? I have a 3 yr old phone that I put a password on and cannot remember it. I haven't used if for two years but thought I would have a mess around.
However I am stuck now. Is there a way of overcoming this somehow. I still have the receipt from when I bought it. Any help or guidance appreciated.
Hi Hi,
it would be the easiest to make a factory reset, so all your data and all your locks are history...
https://www.devicesfaq.com/en/reset/lenovo-zuk-z2-pro
Thanks for the reply. I ended up reflashing a stock ROM, upgraded to Android 8 and changed the launcher. Tried AOSP 10 ROM but couldn't get on with it.
I did try to factory reset but my phone wouldnt allow it. Seems it is not as easy As it seems.
OK, without that you have been dealing with the material in the last few years, it seems a lot.
But the STOCK ROM is also good enough and should be enough.
If you want to update to Androi Q you have to read into the material with the various TWRP and factory / vendor partitions, but this has been discussed far too often, so there are corresponding threads.
Good luck, and if you don't need your Z2pro anymore let me know )

HELP ON XIAOMI MI8! After MIUI 12.05.1 update ALL Google related apps DON'T WORK ANYMORE!

Hello everyone, I am not a developer and don't really understand much of the ROM ROOT world and similar.. But I have a huge problem with my Mi 8. After the updating to MIUI 12.05.1 I could no longer open the Google play store, it kept crashing as son as I tapped on the icon, for that reason I uninstalled it and then I had to download the apk directly from the browse. But even after i reinstalled it, it kept on crashing, not working. I also have google maps and gmail on the phone, which I have not unistalled but I cannot sign in them nor add google account either in youtube or in the phone.
I currently live in Italy but I bought this phone in 2018 in China, so it's the chinese version, this is what makes it even more difficult to understand how to repair it.
I don't know how to solve this problem..
If there's anyone that had the same experience or anyone that has any idea on how to solve this problem please help me, I'd be very grateful. Thank you very much
Are you sure you installed the right version for your phone?
I think the latest version is 12.02. At least that's the version I have...
Did you solve your problem in the meantime?
just wipe, format entire device and reflash with global rom (choose fastboot methods)..

Question MI 11 ULTRA Random Restarts - Reboots

Hello dear community,
I have a problem with my Mi 11 Ultra, I been having a issue where my phone restarts randomly. (It can happen at any time, I can be on Youtube, Whatsapp, Maps, Idle, etc and the phone will suddenly flash a green screen and restart. Heavy use or light use, I cant detect a pattern .....)
I been having this Issue 2 month after I bought this phone with CHINA ROM MIUI 13
after that 2 months the restarts appeared.... (can´t remember if there was a System update or something but from April 2022 to May 2022 the phone was working excellent)
I have read that MIUI 13 in other POCO and Xiaomi Phones have the same behavior.. but cant find any solution for MI 11 ULTRA
What I have tried with no positive result:
(Wipe everything with TWRP, all the options,cache,data,interna,etc.)
Install STABLE MIUI EU ROM - Clean Install
Install Weekly MIUI EU ROM - Clean Install
Update Security app - Latest Version in APK Mirror
Delete Cache security app
Today I tried to install Global with MiFlash Tool but mi flash anti rollback check error occurred ;( (Don't know how to solve this...)
Do you think I have a defective Phone with bad Motherboard?
This is very frustrating and at this point I dont know if should buy a Xiaomi Phone again....
Any Help will be appreciated
Hi, i believe you are facing the issue when you are on wifi i am also facing same problem, when on mobile data there is no problem, can u confirm if its same? Wifi problem
in my case It happens on WiFi and mobile Data.
U can flash using platform tools to get rid of antiroll back, search for tutorial in YouTube, try miui 12.5
Global same issue..
Maybe a bad Motherboard?
So yesterday I Flashed OEM CN Rom, update with OTA and the problem persisted...
Then read about issues with restarts and Location Services in MIUI.
I Installed MIUI_EU Latest BETA ROM and deactivated location.
Right now I haven't experienced a single restart. Tomorrow I will activate location to see if the problem persists or maybe the update solved the problem.
Did anyone find a solution?
I bought mine on aliexpress and I have the same problem. It crashes and restarts numerous times a day.
Unlock bootloader and install global MIUI 13.0.4.
Very stable , no crashes/restarts.
the bootloader is unlocked. do i install the rom via fastboot or TWRP?
Both method should be fine .
If using TWRP , use format data option first, else system won't boot up.
If using Miflash use clean all but make sure don't use the lock option.

in the first 24 hours yes. it was working perfect.
Then it started to restart and crash.
without solution.
I am having the same issue....
Please look in the /root/data/vendor/ramdump folder.
I am having lots of ramdumps eating space.
So just received the phone yesterday after sending it for repair to Xiaomi All the way back to China... And this piece of trash phone still rebooting.... Never buying again a phone from this trash company... Also Giztop is so unprofessional because they didn't solved the issue ... They told me that the phone was on perfect condition and they weren't able to solve it. Thanks to them I also had to pay 250usd of taxes because they send it like if it was a new unit... Give yourself a favor and don't buy from Giztopz, they send defective phones.
Try disabling the RAM extension feature.
Or try a custom rom like EvolutionX or CrDroid.
