Hello,
Long story short my ARC's accelerometer's X/Y axes are way off (can't use any apps that require accelerometer). Is here any way to calibrate it?
I think a hard reset may be the only way to restore the accelerometer (assuming it was not perma-damaged when you dropped it). There is a similar thread on the X10 forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792514
Unfortunately I don't think there is a system menu where u can calibrate it......could be wrong tho.

Thankyou for the link,
Also accelerometer itself is working just axes are off and here isn't any options in system menu/service menu to calibrate it (At least I couldn't find any).

No probs
Have you tried an app called Bubble? (spirit level app). What happens when you try to open this? I know you can calibrate the accelerometer within that app, but not sure if it applies to system settings too. Might be worth a try
I've tried buble level app. After calibration it works perfectly but calibration isn't system wide.
Hey, try downloading the game 'jetcar stunts' from the market, there's an option there to calibrate the accelerometer. Try that and see if it works

Hi there,
is there ANY way to calibrate the g-sensor like in wm6.5 or android?
Because mine is just complete wrong...

Hello.
well you could try searching for the accelerometer app on marketplace
I cant say its needed, because e its the first thing i installed, and hance cant tell how it is without.
Has two simple options.
calibrate and reset.
Greetings
All this application does is tell you how out your gsensor is, then you calibrate it and it tells you how well calibrated it is....then you close it and the calibration is completely forgotten, ie...then load up Need for speed and you have to play sitting at 10 degrees...
Hmmm that's exactly what i thought.
So there is no way to calibrate the sonsor stuff on our beloved wp7 phones?
And the thing isnt even calibrated correctly by default?
Whats to say about that?
Apart from need for speed (no calibration integrated in the game?)i haven't found a disadvantage of this.
The Glyder demo for example has calibration integrated in the game, so dose Rocket Riot.
Any other findings, good or bad?

Anyone know where or how to calibration the G-sensor in CM7?

At first I was all 'what a dumb question' . Then I looked for it, and I can't find it.
So yea. I'm now wondering the same thing.

Bump. Help us plz
Can you clarify what sensor you're talking about e.g. the G-force, GPS Sensor or Compass or ... ???
And don't just reply "The G-Sensor".
Also, please be specific as to what the issue you are having that makes you believe the "G-Sensor" needs recalibrating?

i used "g-sensor calibration tool" (from internet) for HTC HERO with cyanogenmod one & half year ago... but i don´t know if its available for HTC DESIRE HD...
if you want and noone answer you..... you can to post it or browse in www.cyanogenmod.com official site...
cyanogenmod hasn´t a native calibration tool
Sergi, is this the sensor that you can reset by waving the phone around in a figure of eight or is that for the compass?

is like that the sense roms has in settings-screen-g-sensor calibration.
you can reset it with a level figure.. look the thumbnail
also i remember that with amon´s ra recovery (htc hero) u can do "wipe rotation status" and there´s a tool for calibrate it in cyanogen but i don´t know if its available for desire hd i still never flashed CMxxx.
cheerss
Ahh that.
Whilst it doesn't work the same way if you download GPS Status, go to menu -> Tools there is an option for calibrate pitch and roll.

oups! have doubts
i only know that this tool its for calibrate the sensor for gamming AND GET FIX FOR STABILITY for some apk... (you know the tetter game? its a ball that you handle for the screen moving the device...)
this game needs to calibrate g sensor...
The example is a bilge but it clarifies about that we speak
by the wait i think that they are talking about this sensor concretly.... LOL

The Desire HD has a G-Sensor:
http://www.htc.com/www/product/desirehd/specification.html
You would recalibrate if you feel that the screen orientation does not respond properly to the way you hold the phone (portrait vs landscape).
On the stock ROM, you would do this by:
From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
Tap Display > G-Sensor calibration.
Place the phone on a flat and level surface, and then tap Calibrate.
After the recalibration process, tap OK.
AFAIK there is no equivalent provided by Cyanogen.
No but you cab use an app like GPS Status that has a tool for calibrating this. Works perfectly.

Hey,
can anyone tell me how to calibrate the G-Sensor in the Gaaxy Nexus Prime? In games and apps using this sensor it seems that the y-axis is about 5 degrees leftside when i hold the smartphone straight up. This means for example that the figure in doodle jump moves slowly left, although the Nexus is holded erect...
Googled for an solution by myself, but nothing helped so far. Even apps like BubbleLevel, which have the calibration tool, calibrate the sensor just for this app... and not in general.
Thanks
Try calibrating with this app and see if it helps.

Ignore everyone telling you to use an app to do it, because you can't. Android has no concept of global calibration regarding the sensors.
I have 3 Android phones, they all have wrong default calibration, from a few degrees (Galaxy Nexus) to about 30 degrees (Xperia X10 Mini Pro.. unusable).
You used to be able to calibrate in gingerbread by modding axis offset values in the AK8973Prms.txt file in data/misc. ICS doesn't seen to have that file, at least not in the same place.
HTC Desire, Desire HD have its calibration app.

He asked for help and I tried to help him with what work for me in the past. No need to tell him to ignore people. It's a simple process that involves rotating the phone on 3 of its axis. If it helps, then great. But it certainly wouldn't hurt for him to try, would it? No need to be condescending; it's not like I'm trying cause him harm.

I think that method works well for compass calibration for apps like maps and sky, but it is temporary and doesn't seem to affect pitch and roll. GPS status let's you calibrate pitch and roll but only within the app, it doesn't affect system calibration. The file i mentioned above did allow manual system calibration under gingerbread. Not sure how to accomplish under ics. A post i saw suggested that gnex and ics automatically calibrate if you leave the unit to sit alone for a bit. I don't buy it, but that's the only info i have found.
In case anyone is interested in how it was done under gingerbread, see my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16592139

It's not Gingerbread, it's for that specific sensor with that specific driver. The Galaxy Nexus uses a Bosch BMA250 which has an NV memory where calibration settings can be stored but doing so is not trivial.

Aah good to know. I'll check that out. Thanks
i am using Android 4.1.2 with CyanogenMod 10.0.0-hercules. I tried various Auto-rotation and rotation settings but it rotates the wrong way or does not rotate at all.
I've read other forums that says this was fixed in CyanogenMod 10 but I am guessing it did not?

Try recalibrating your accelerometer. I am not sure exactly where it is in CM10 but look in settings for an option called 'device'. You should be able to calibrate the sensor from there.

i see device but i dont see anything in there that can do calibration, only gyro calibration
Here's the list that i see on the left menu in settings:

It sounds like you are on Paranoid Android ROM. I am pretty sure gyro calibration is the thing you want to use. If that does not work the only other thing I can think of is you flashed a kernel with rotation issues.

I misspoke when I said accelerometer. Gyro calibration is the setting you need. Make sure you put your phone on a flat surface when calibrating. If that doesn't help your problem it may be the fault of the kernel that you linked.
Hi, when i play games that use the accelerometer the accelerometer dont woks well.
I calibrate it on Advanced Ace2 Settings.
But still dont woks well.
I use 2 roms, and the same thing.
You know what i have to do?
sorry for bad english
Try to describe it little more, what is wrong with it? Some new roms have problems with it, sometimes I have to calibrate it, than I have to use default settings, otherwise the screen is rotated to landscape even when it should not.
