Does anyone's G-sensor work? i ran the htc function test and it's not working. Any solutions? I've try a factory reset but no joy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586177
Mine stopped working last night.
When I tried the calibrator it failed saying "calibration aborted" the sensor checker also failed.
I went to the task manager and ended all tasks, I rebooted but no change so I switched off the phone then back on again and all was working
I will have to keep an eye on this

this is indeed a very weird thing mate, it's happening to a lot of people...
I'm sure it's a tegra3 related issue. Probably fixed on the next update.
Now that i think about it...i don't remember to have turnned off my phone when i had that issue...LOL
in conclusion to this subject, my latest "possible" fix is, fully drain your phone out of juice untill it doesn't power up and charge it again.
it should work afterwards.

Have you drained it completly? To the point that the phone doesn't turn on?
Have you tried also killing all tasks in task manager?

G-sensor not working
Tried everything I can think off aside from draining the battery flat. Does the 1.28 rom version fix this issue? Seems like my g-sensor has been dead for a while...
Anyone on 1.28 have this g-sensor issue?
I have the same problem. I wrote a mail to HTC in yesterday about the problem and hopes they got an answer for this iritating issue.

Yup. Tried it all and the problem persists. Complete drain, factory reset, secure boot calibration, kill all tasks, ota update to 1.28 (from & to stock), superwiping and flashing a new rom (twice) , running htc's function test and getting "stuck" on the g-sensor test. And more.
Been there, done that.
The sensor doesn't react at all, so rotation won't work and in games like teeter, the ball just sits there no matter how I twist and turn.
And now HTC, via their chat, say that this might not be covered by the warranty since I have unlocked the bootloader. If I turn it in, they'll send it to a service centre, which may decide that the problem was caused by me (which is impossible since it was already there on stock), which would mean that 1) I'd have to pay for any repair or 2) I'd have to pay for "wasting their time" and cough up money for securely shipping it to/from the repair centre. Yay.
On the up side, the normal calibration aborts if I move the phone during the process, which to me would indicate that the sensor is working at SOME level, right?

My question is, was it working when you got it in the first place?
Mine unlocked itself after about 48hours...
The only thing I can remember doing, that I've never said before was that I dropped my phone several times in all possible directions on a very slim carpet as a desperate act...
My thought was, maybe if I drop it and shake it really hard, it might get loose eventually. (Yes I'm a bit crazy... )
It got back to work after 48 painfull hours and lots of failed attempts...
I had this problem, but it was fixed by a reboot. Dont know if that gives you any clues as to whether it is software/hardware related?
Yeah, it looks like some kind of hardware issue. I need to send this phone for repair. HTC has disappointed me - this will be the last HTC phone I purchase. Nothing but problems since day one. Stay people - you have been warned!!!

Actually I'm not quite sure if it worked in the first place, because I bought it used (from a guy who realized he hated Sense after three days). Nothing seems to get it to work, though I'm glad yours did.

Hum... maybe that's why he sold it sorry to hear it mate...
Well, if you are brave enough to do it, do what I did... shake it a lot, and drop it (from low altitude obviously) into a soft carpet... it might sound crazy, but the shaking could be enough to unlock the sensor... corner drop it all around and good luck! going to google it to see if there is any sort of recent found fix...
in the meantime get the app "sensor list" from the market and tell me the brand of your sensors if you can read it.
I had this issue, 3 days after I got the phone. Tried everything I could think of
(fact resets, etc). Still no joy, so I sent it back to the shop.
When they tested it , it was all workign fine again....
However I have a couple of thoughts on this (not tried it out yet so give it a go).
First of all disable that HTC Gestures/3 Finger rubbish. Secondly ensure Fast Boot is off.
Then re-start phone.
Now , Although I did end up like that, I'm sure it didnt fix the problem immediatley following me disabling those options.
All in all there is definatley something screwing up the G-Sensor, which is seemingly fixable/can be disabled. Its just finding out what it is/how you do it!
Slim
I completely agree on you mate. The question is what.
My subconscious is telling me that it has something to do with the live wallpapers but I have no proof. It's just a stupid hunch, but it wouldn't be my first stupid hunch and I was correct so...
anyway, I've just red this...you guys might want to try and do it.

"I just called my vendor, to complain about the auto rotation issue, and here's the step to fix, which worked for me.
Restart the phone, and go to safe mode (restart, and once you see the HTC logo, long press the volume down button), it'll restart again and go into safe mode.
Go to Settings, Display & gestures, G-Sensor Calibration, then calibrate, make sure to put the back of the phone on a level surface, this time, it shows calibration complete not aborted when I did it before in the normal mode.
Restarted the phone and it works fine now.
Thanks,
Mohamed El-Ghazaly"
when in safe mode, I would attempt everything from a "kill all tasks" in device manager to enabling and disabling auto-rotate in display settings.
Good luck guys.

For what its worth I've no issues and have tried to recreate this as I consider whether to return the phone due to screen flicker. Panasonic Gsensor calibrates fine and Elixir gives steady accurate sensor feedback.
Running latest update 1.28.401.9
I have HTC 3 finger gestures off (except one middle one and a v-sign for launching a flagship product with so many issues.)

Hi there, this is my first post, i didnt want it to be like this but i have come to you in desperation.
I was excited about 4 hours ago to realise my phone was getting an update saying it was going to imporve battery life etc..
Well i let it do its thing while it was downloading, i went to check after an hour or so and it said the software had been corrupted or something along those lines, either way it had to start the download again.
It was about bed time when this happened so i chucked it on the charger, fell asleep, woke up and it was doing something on a kind of screen i had never seen before, black screen, obviously showing that it is processing the update(i was a little tired from waking up) i think i remember taking its time maybe longer than it should have been.
I went back to sleep woke up about an hour ago from now and checked my phone and the screen would not turn on, i think the charger cable had fallen out from the phone because it is loose and does that some times.
So i placed the cord back in and it didnt seem to respond with the red led coming up for a while then all of a sudden it worked for some reason, but was flashing. i suspected this was because the battery had been sucked dry. So after a while the led stopped flashing and i pressed the power button, sure enough it powers up straight away to the HTC - quietly brilliant screen. And thats that, end of story. It's stuck on that screen WTF?
I have been through forums like these interested in changing ROMs and so on but it all seems so complicated i never even bothered, so obviously i am a noob, but i dont think there is any reason for this to happen other than sh*t luck.
Can anyone help us out?
Your better off sending for repair unless you want to start unlocking the bootloader etc.
Reboot your phone in bootloader ( press PowerButton + Volume down at the same time) you will get to a screen with various lines, look factory reset, navigate that menu with your volume keys. Hit factory reset you should get . See if it fixes it.

Well did it work? before you say that long thanks
Thanks for your help, unfortunately, the factory reset didnt work.
What happened when i first did it, the update screen came up like the first time but still ended up freezing on the quietly brilliant screen.
I'd be willing to unlock the bootloader, i really dont want to send the phone away for a third time. Why didnt i get the Galaxy S3!?!?!
I hate to ask, can u point me to the right thread to do that, there seems to be a few but they seem to have different purposes.
Thanks again.

If you wait a day or so, the RUU will be released for your region now that the OTA has been released.
You'll be able to fully reload your phone - this is all HTC do when you send it for repairs and you can do it in a lot less time.
At the moment, HTC may even reload the 2.17 software so you may still have the problem again when trying to load the OTA.
Thanks all for your interest.
I spoke with customer support and they told me exactly what i already had done, factory reset through hboot.
After that was a no go, he told me i have to send it back to the point of sale, so they can flash the software?
Where can i find this ruu once it has been released?
I'm pretty sure the updates all say to not have the phone plugged in when updating.

Cant be because it does not restart in recovery mode or download mode. I actually did a full wipe system and it fixed the issue. But now i realize when i start downloading my banking app, pandora, and other apps it starts crashing again. I dont know what to do. I guess I cant use any apps on my galaxy s2... lol this is sooooo stupid

I took it to a repair shop, where I was told to send it to Samsung to do a heavy-duty root. The power button does need to be replaced because there is no spring when you push down on it. I have no idea if there's a root glitch. Has anyone sent their phone to Samsung? What happened? Are there alternatives?
Thank you!

It was amazing, I had the same problem but all i did was open up the back up undoing all the tiny screws and then took a can on compressed air and sprayed out the power button and its been working for more than a month now with the problem completely gone! try that first before sending to sammy.
Ok I am in the same boat. My device does not boot up, it will get to Samsung logo and restart half the time and the other half just vibrates every 2 seconds. I removed the battery while plugged in and it still vibrates. I took it apart and blew the power button with compressed air and nothing. Here is the funny thing if I bang the hell out of it, it almost boots up. Is there something that I can do less than sending it to Sammy ? If not I will sell it on craigslist for parts.

Same thing here. Only way to get it to power on is by hitting it, the harder the better it seems. After it turns on, touching the power button will make it go in to the restart loop 90% of the time. This sucks!
For me this started after I dropped my phone...with the case on and on carpet. I have also opened it up and sprayed with compressed air to no avail.

Hi Folks,
I had the same problem, the problem started when I dropped my fone on carpeted floor, here are symptoms
Fone restarts on its own, start the boot, inbetween the boot starts again, then, keeps vibrating every two seconds, you have to pull the battery out to stop it,
As soon as you put the battery back in, it restarts, again getting stuck, and then vibrating every two secods,
Here is what i did
- Cursed Samsung for making a sh***y phone - Didnt work
- Smacked my phone with whatever I could fine - Didnt work
- Opened all the screws up, took apart phone, pulled out the power button module (pcb), noticed power button was loose,put some glue into it, dried it, put it back, & ITS BEEN WORKING SINCE THEN ! It was a hardware fault, its not software !
Just my two cents, it worked in my case, I cannot guarantee if it will in your case too, try at your own risk !!

Same issue with SGH-M919. I was rooted and the rom I tried to use wouldn't work because the kernel caused some issues so I figured I would go back to stock. The device wouldn't go into recovery mode, so I flashed the stock rom via Odin. After the ROM loaded, the phone reset and I saw the Samsung screen then it rebooted and so on each time. It's not the power button as it works, has the spring feel to it and the phone would come one by itself if it was broken. So what can I do or am I in trouble?
Also, the phone will vibrate every 2 seconds

Sure, the power button will "work", but if it's constantly vibrating and rebooting, it's probably an issue with the power button. Do what it shows in the video I posted, and if you do it right it'll probably fix it. I gad to attempt it twice as it didn't fix it the first time, but it's been like 4 months and I haven't had an issue since.
Thank you but it was the kernel causing problems. Somehow, the new ROM messed up the partitions and subsequently required a full wipe including all data then I flashed the stock ROM back via Odin and it was fine. I rooted it again and flashed Bliss Pop 1.8 and I love that ROM. No issues at all. Thanks for the help. I'm slowly learning about ROMs and Linux etc.. I appreciate the help. Does anyone have any advice as to how I can learn more??? Where do I post to get past this 10 posts rule???

Wow I just realized that post was from a week ago and that was for my girls S4. We got rid of it anyway. My response was regarding my Sprint LG G3 which I am slowly mastering.
Same thing here but here i have a Lenovo …idk what to do
So i have had my zenfone for awhile now. i unlocked the bootloader and was able to root it with a temp CWM. it was going fine for a long time.
Then one day my phone started to act up. wouldn't read texts right, false notifications, and app crashing. i thought maybe i had a virus so i ran a cleaning app (Clean Master and Lookout) but they found nothing. so i thought why not restarting the phone? seems to work for some.... *sigh*
Upon restarting the phone i am now stuck on the ZenPhone flip case thing... with the info on the circle. i thought maybe i dropped my phone sometime or somewhere and the case got stuck. okay simple fix, i tried using a magnet to open the case... and it did nothing.
Then I tired going into recovery mode by going through fast boot. but selecting anything in fast boot causes the phone to "freeze" and endlessly vibrate. It can't even detect when its plugged into the computer so i cant do commands on it from fast boot. i cant even do it from the OS as i think when its in the flip thing it doesn't allow PC access (at least i think). but the strange part about being on the OS, is that when phone goes to sleep (screen turns off), it "freezes".
What i'm asking here is there a way to fix this or is this phone lost. i made this account just for this... please help!
Good luck, I wish I had never bought this phone. I've sent it back to A-Sucks two damn times and it's still nothing more than a phone that always has some kind of an issue.

I tried that. my computer, or any other computer i tried, doesn't detect its connected when in fast boot nor in the OS.
when trying to use the normal recovery on the phone. it gets stuck in an endless vibration until i turn it off.
Booting into anything (i.e. Normal boot, recovery) from fast boot causes the vibration hang

my bad... either way, i still cant get into the OS as its stuck on the ZenPhone flip case thing as i stated above. it wont let me do anything from there.
if the phone cannot be saved. i might as well sell it for parts.
Before that, have you tried totally discharging the battery, leaving for a day or 2 to get rid of any last traces of power from the RAM then recharging and starting up again?
Might be something screwy going on with the phones hardware but these things are literally PC's and sometimes they need to have a good shutdown to get rid of all the quirks stuck in ram.
If you don't want to wait, you could just open up and disconnect the battery. You were only going to sell as parts anyway....

haven't tried that. ill fully drain the battery and see where i get
Okay so good news. that actually worked... i think. i took the battery out for a bit and let it sit, then i put it back in and it booted up just fine!
but now i have a new issue, i can no longer talk on phone calls. speaker isn't working for some reason. might have put it back together wrong.
all things considered, thank you so much for the help!
No worries, good luck on the speaker issue...
Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing pretty silly situation with my phone.
So the story begins here:
I was surfing the web while listening to music in the bus when suddenly my oneplus3 randomly turned off and I couldn't turn it back on. (I was on something around 15% on battery so it's not a low battery problem) I tried to turn it on several times and after holding the power button for like 10secs it turned on, and after pressing the power button again (because I needed to get past unlocked bootloader screen and dm-verity) I saw a boot screen. The capacitive button leds turned on and after 3 secs it turned off again, so I started worrying... After a while I tried to access the recovery, but no luck at all. It powers it self off after bootscreen. So I started to research. Tried to flash the entire OS, partritions with msmdownload tool. After several unsuccessful flashes (firehosewritedata failed sometimes while writing userimg or system.img or boot.img) I did get the download complete green text message, and after successful flash, the white LED turned on, even the phone was not plugged in USB or charger and turned off. The screen is completely black and the white led just flashes constantly without blinking or anything. I could only turn the led off by pressing the power button for another 10 secs. And after turning the phone off, problem still remains. After oneplus logo phone shuts down...
I can access bootloader.
And after flashing everything should be on stock, because now I only got screen only about bootloader, no dm-verity..
And of course - I still cannot access the recovery.
p.s. I tried to do the power cycle (as the tech support told me) but still no luck at all.
did u tried the full msmdownload tool (1gb) or the 55mb version ?

Are you sure that you did it right? Did your phone show up as mentioned in the instructions?

Of course. Everything is done right. I also get that green "download complete" message.
p.s I also opened the phone. water indicators are fine and no major defects what can i see by eye... All connectors are good as well.

And yes, phone was connected right. :good: installed drivers with test mode on Win10 and got Snapdragon device in COM devices. As well the MsmDownload tool shows up my device in port #20
Any ideas?

Follow method 2 from the Hard Brick guide by Naman Bhalla and try two or three times.
Sometimes it takes more than once for restoration.
Since you opened the phone, i think your warranty is gone now.
If the msmdownloadtool didnt help you, there is nothing you can do i think.
try to flash again, and if it still maybe something short inside.
if you have disassembly your phone, try disconnecting various flex cable like camera, sim slot etc that connect to the mainboard, that doesn't prevent device from powered on, then try to turning it on.
if it still, check your mainboard, if you don't know how, send it back.

Is ir really gone? There is a still warranty void sticker on the screw there, but of course it's possible to see by eye that the phone has been opened.
I have an appointment with Level2 tech support @oneplus, they are going to remotely flash the entire OS, but do you think they are using pretty similar technique as the msmdownloadtool?

They are doing the same thing like you did.
I already had a session since i thought they are going to do something "special"
You can try the remote session but im afraid that wont help you if you already did it multiple times.
What about battery? Charged?

Yes battery is charged of course. It's just doint the same thing. Turns on, after a while when bootscreen comes it just turns off and white notification led appears, after that nothing.
I tried to flash it with tool using method 2 for like 15 times with "download complete" messages, but still no luck at all. Tried to erase partritions with fastboot, flashing just only recovery, modded recovery etc. but I still cannot access the recovery nor system. I just don't get it why the phone does not boot into recovery if I flash it or boot it straight away, It just only turns off and that's it. nothing more. Only black screen and white led lighting all the time (after a while the phone turns warm).
I have read all the MsmDownloadTool thread in "Mega Unbrick thread" and saw that few people have experienced the very same situation as me, so I was wondering if there is any fix for this? It's so strange that I was just surfing the Web and it just turned off by it self with like static image for miliseconds and after that just black screen.
There should be any fix. I guess that it's just a partition error...
Ok, not good news. I had a little remote session before a while. They says it's already a hardware problem.

Pfffft you think manufacturers notice when you take apart phones? Hell I took apart my Xperia Z2 because it was having problems and then glued it back together with cyanoacrylate hahahaha (worst thing to do but wtv) and no one noticed though it was seemless and everything looked perfect
Guys, I've got something for you! Not really the same thing as Naman.
p.s. not saying its original hehehehe keep safe
man i got a very similiar problem but my op3 has a black screen i was also on low battery around 5-15% when my phone went off after i was in twrp
Actually I was on twrp too! Also I have recently noticed that recovery loading speed was far too long than normal one. I'm talking for something about 5-7 minutes after reboot into twrp. So, who knows what did happen. Just made an RMA request. Will see how it goes.
Anyway, I was on stock 7.1.1 and it's just rooted with custom recovery and that's it! Nothing more! Is that just a factory failure or maybe it's caused by drops i have had? Nothing serious for a 4-5 times for a half year. Of course I have used it even in winter when the snowflakes are coming down from the sky and little rain. Btw, these liquid indicators are white, so all safe. ::laugh:
