i have the same problem.
is there a kind of deep calibration/reset for g-sensor?
i tried with gps status (there is an option to calibrate sensor) but it appear dead.
tried another rom, no change....so probably it's not a software problem.
maybe there is a ground/contact problem, will disassembly the phone again.

any news? same problem for me
Where is the G-sensor mounted? (Picture?) Mine is also defect, even as the compass. Is it the same component? or is it on a seperate board which could have a loose contact?

There is an app you can use to calibrate. Search the forum on apps/Themes and try it. Should work :laugh:
every apps didn't worked for me
Have anybody tried "Z-Device Test"?
tried all appz.
no one works for my problem.
hard touch a charge socket in desire hd and rotate phone
where is that thing?
Anyone knows where the G-sensor is located on the printboard?

accelerometer gyroscope problem

after i reset to factory settings i cant rotate and play and games that require accelerometer or gyroscope anyone know how to fix this problem or i have to return my device?
Pain in the Ass
Hello friend,
I've been facing the same problem. I gave it back to my vendor who "did something" and twas working again! before I gave it to him, I was pretty sure twas a Hardware problem, bcoz running the g-sensor test in *#*#3424#*#* wasnt responding. the g-sensor wasnt calibrating and an app called AndroSensor wasnt receiving values from the accelerometer.
And now the same problem has returned. I'm hunting online for a solution myself.

I had the same problem, booting into Safe Mode and then booting back to normal solved my problem, you should try that.
Btw you can boot in Safe mode with holding volume down while doing normal restart.
Hope that helps

[Q] Gyro and Compass Not Responding Hardware ??

I have noticed that my Gyro and Compass are Not Responding to movement of the phone, and I am wondering if its a driver issue or a hardware one. Can any of you boffins give me some advice on how I may resolve this please ?

Download "Z-Device Test" from the play store, there you can find out if it's hardware related or not. I also would like to know what Rom/Kernel/Recovery combination you have, or is everything stock?
Well, I'll be honest and admit that I never ever seen a compass in my note 2, though I'm sure I seen it in the original note. If anyone could point me to it, I'd appreciate it. I did look in apps but not there.

Thanks for the reply. I have downloaded it, and it would suggest that the sensor IS working ok, but the phone is not recognising it for some reason. Would the kernel be a reason ? This is driving me nuts...

Hmm, are you on stock Rom? If so you can calibrate gsensor under settings - display (i think)...
Or you can try this if you are rooted
Or get this app and if I'm not mistaken it lets you calibrate the g-sensor.
Hope this helps

Galaxy Note 2 Acclerometer Issue

Hi, I have had my note 2 for a while now and a problem has always been bugging me, whenever I play a game which relies on the accelerometer, the character just moves way to the left and to compensate I have to turn my phone right which is incredible annoying, however I am unsure whether I had this problem when I got the phone, I did drop the phone once so that may have caused it, if it is a hardware issue, can it be fixed through software? I don't mind rooting my phone , I've heard installing cyanogenmod works because it has a g-sensor calibration setting which allows you to calibrate the accelerometer, will this work? I just don't want to install it and calibrate it to see it not work. Thank you and sorry for this huge paragraph, any help is much appreciated.

I believe some games that use accelerometer have their own built in accelerometer calibrator that you can use before starting to play the game.
What game is it?

It happens on all games which uses the accelerometer for example highway rider, temple run, doodle jump etc, so I am looking for a way to universally calibrate the accelerometer, do you know how I can do that or is it simply not possible if it is a hardware issue? Thanks

moto M gyro problem

is anybody here can fix the gyro problem ?
please can anybody explain, is this software problem or hardware problem ?
thank you, please really need your help guys
Try this after starting a video keep your phone for 5-10 seconds on a flat surface that should work if not make it 20 seconds as that worked for me.
Temporary fix.
3D compass is working, Discovery VR app is working.
But Google map compass and other 360 video are continuously rotating. I guess it's a software bug by Lenovo

yes of course my friend, cos the problem is not in the compass but in the gyro. i still have no idea, is it software or hardware. still, no one around here give some light.
It's a Hardware problem.
For fix just to go to service center and tell them to change the mother board, they won't listen at first request them or pressurize them which ever suits you. I got my phone's mother board changed, now no gyroscope problem or compass problem either also phone doesn't heats up now.

Thank you my dear friend. i went to service center yesterday and yes it is a hardware problem. i got a new motherboard with new IMEI. but i still don't understand why a lot of people got a broken gyro devices. didn't they do a phone test before packing to the box.?

Indeed they do but I doubt they check every single phone and every single sensor of that phone. maybe the batch which we got in India have these problems. Firstly this is the weirdest phone by Moto and there is one more minute problem you might want to know that there is no auto hdr but in official specs it does . This phone from Moto actually sucks.
