I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus LTE, rooted running Android 4.0.2. I recently noticed (while playing Doodle Jump) that my accelerometer was slightly off. If I held the phone straight vertical (or laid it flat) the doodle would move to the left. In order to play properly I would have to lean the phone to the right to compensate. I tested this again with two different gyroscope apps. It's off by about 4 degrees (not terrible but enough to be obnoxious). I also used the in-app calibration option which fixed the problem, but only for that app. I re-calibrated my compass to no effect and did a factory reset to no effect. I don't know if this problem existed before I rooted as rooting was the first thing I did.
I'm unsure whether this is worth sending the phone back over (I can re-lock my boot loader if needed). Or if I did, would they even take it back for such a small issue? I've had the phone for about two months now. I would much prefer some sort of software fix. I understand that certain phones had global calibration options in the past. I have root access and am open to some hacking.
Any help is appreciated.
+1 have the same problem.. very annoying in Doodle Jump! I tried searching for some sort of calibration program on market but found nothing.

Download GPS Status and use the Tools to Calibrate
https://market.android.com/search?q=gps+status&c=apps
Nope. Didn't work.
As I stated in my post, I've tried calibration apps, but they only calibrate the accelerometer for that one app.
Odd. Worked perfectly for me when I had calibration issues in Sky Maps.
Some apps will have you wave your phone in the pattern of an '8' a few times. I wonder if thats universal to calibrate?
Calibrate works 100% gps status and tools.
However I find it doesn't stick forever.. It reports that it's always off in the same direction and by the same amount.

Is this a stock rom?
This might be a bug with the game itself (maybe not). But I have this game too, although on my tablet. Last night my boy was playing it and I noticed the calibration was off. It seemed like it was calibrated for landscape although we were in vertical mode. I initially thought that it calibrated when launched, so I closed out of the game, set it to vertical orientation, and relaunched... same thing.
This was on a Transformer.
I'm almost positive it worked on the Nexus before (as my kid loves it). Perhaps a bad update?
I'm on a AOSP rom (Gummy) and I'll try it again and post back.
EDIT: My Bad I was referring to Hyper Jump... which works fine on my Nexus which uses the accelerometer.
Yeah it's the stock ROM (I'm waiting on CM9). It's defiantly not the app, multiple apps have confirmed the problem. Multiple calibration tools have worked, but are only a fix for that one app. The compass calibration (wave your phone in a figure eight) does nothing to fix the problem. There is no global calibrate.
I'm sure there must be some sort of permanent fix with root permissions. But I'm not a developer and don't know where to start.
I have the same problem in neo v and found no way, too!
Please help!
+ 1. someone really need to make a fix for this . i know there are calibration options in the sgs and sgs2 but why not in the gnex settings?
Some games suggest holding your device flat and then moving it around in a figure eight pattern to recalibrate the accelerometer.
See if that helps.

Same prob here. Any Solutions? Calibration apps don't work, only for the specific app. is there a way to get a global setting?
I had the same problem on my GNex... I don't know if it's for that, but it's worth a try...
when I played a game it always went in the right side... I read somewhere that the GNex has an automatic calibration... i just left it facedown in the table everynight (charging)... and afer 2-3 days it was good calibrated...
Maybe I just was lucky... but you don't have anything to lose...
Sorry for my bad English (Grammar).

Couldn't find anything about automatic calibration. I wonder how this should work anyway. The device doesn't know what's the correct position. Your table might be slanted.
So any information on global calibration?
Did you try it?... it worked for me... maybe it memorizes if you do it over and over again?

I have the same problem with my nexus 10... I've installed an app called Z-device test, and says that the gyroscope and accelerometer are fine, but it has a Lineal Acceleration tab and one of the 3 axis looks like "accelerated"... i cannot take photospheres
i've tryed the gps app but doesn't fix the problem..

Hi.
I have strange problem. It starts few weeks ago with no purpose..
Sometimes my bottom buttons doesn't work. It happneds for example, when I'm tying to scroll email with Dpad. Sometimes when i try to scroll thru files in total commander. After scrolling few lines, they just stop working. Upper buttons works. Screen works.
What I did untill now with no results:
- flashed official rom thru PC
- flashed AT&T Official
- disassembling and cleaning lower buttons.
It looks like software problem, but it happends on clean official roms without any 3-rd apps..
Some suggestions?
Thx
do a search for white screen in titles...ur problem may be the dpad connector comes loose and the white screen thread talks about how to fix it
try a new rom my wifes phone did the same thing with at&t official wm6 rom I have since flashed almost every rom from here and never had a problem hope this helps

Thank You. I've tried few roms.. Now running CRC 11
I think it's a hardware problem. I've found some thread about similiar problem. Now I'm testing
Thx Dillsnik
I had this problem with a Hermes and I couldn't fix it no matter what I did. And I tried everything.
It seems it's some weird hardware problem. Soon you'll have problems with the softkeys too.
If anyone fixed this (except flashing a new rom, because that doesn't work), it would be an interesting thing to know.
Well, when it happends, all lower buttons stops working. gren, red phone, softkeys etc.
I just plug and unplug connector few times and for now it;s ok.
I will report if there will be some changes.
Maybe it's time for some changes I think Kaiser's will be cheaper in a moment

mine has been doing that for months (lucky my hermes is my backup device). its really strange but then again expected after ive dropped it so many times as well as throw it at my colleagues when they piss me off.
1) dpad stops responding after some time.
2) call/end buttons stop responding
3) softkeys dont work after this
4) 90% white screen - i can still see whats on the screen but it looks like its washed out and saturated to a sever point
the only thing you can do is if your device is still under warranty get it fixed.
Warrianty it's a faaaar away past
I can't say with any certainty this will help anybody - but I experience this same issue, regardless of the rom... What I always do - hit the Email button... I know it sounds odd, but it always seems to work... It launches email, which (if i don't need it) I just close right away and then the other buttons seem to magically work... I know it sounds lame - but honest - it works on my phone...
If that doesn't work, you may have to try the following link regarding d-pad and white screen
I had same problems, d-pad buttons stopped working then I got the white screen of death. I replaced the ribbon cable but it didn't help. I replaced the d-pad pcb board and everything is back.
Where did You get this board? Ebay?

No it makes no difference for me. I get a fast fix (I did before this anyway), but it's useless when driving. Drops the signal every few seconds (still JF3, but will test JG5 now that JF3 is finally out).
What improved mine a little bit, is to delete secgps.conf from /data/gps . It's the file that gets created when you fiddle around with those settings in the test mode. Samsung messed something up with their default values I think. If you switch your phone off and on, the file gets recreated with the default values, which are different now, and make more sense...

well ... I'm back from a short driving test ... except for the first 100m everything is fine ... don't get any signal loss or wrong street ...
seems exactly the same to me b ut my gps has alweasy been spot on on newer firmwares anyway
For me with skyhook on only it also works perfectly, no problems at all when driving. What i did notice is that when you cannot get a fix, closing all applications with a task killer works. After killing i get a fix right away again.
well its work with me fine i have new frimware XJG5
well ... I came back from a long test drive, and it's not very accurate after all ... F**K
will try another thing ...

what if the problem with the GPS is hardware based? Do you think samsung will admit it and recall all the sets to be repaired? I dont think so....
Well, how about contacting official samsung support. I open'd a ticket myself on saturday, and so should do everyone. The only way to get this problem solved is to put pressure on samsung. It's important to contact some famous websites and tell them, that there are some issues about the galaxy s and than lets see. It worked with the iPhone so it will work with i9000.

How did you contact them? I sent a web support request, submitted images and results from GPS Test, and a log from the GPS, and provided links to a video showing the failures. I also gave my work details since I'm an engineer associated with a number of their products..... 3 days later they responded with instructions on how to run Google Maps.
I also pinged engadget to see if I could get them to pick up the story, but we'd need more people doing that to get them to take notice.
i contacted support hotline, after serveral calls and waiting for 4 days, they made up an engineering ticket to get me the hw specs of the gps module(there are no gps problems known in germany!). They wanted me to sent back my phone to a service dealer, but i said, that that probably won't solve the problem.
i also informed heise.de (largest german it portal) about the gps problems. So lets wait whats coming up next.

yes, maybe it's hw related and it will never work with the galaxy s. thats no problem for me. i'll change it and buy a different phone. but i want a clear statement from samsung. thats what i can expect for 450€.
gps navigation is a warranted characteristics on their website and that gives you powerfull righty in germany.
I honestly dont belive there is a hardware problem as mine locks real quick,is as accuate as any garmin or navman ive used and hasnt once lost lock in the car,and ive been out in very rainy weather.I can only vouch fpr co pilot as its the only gps program ive got but its lock is flawless.
@sammy
please be so kind let me know, whats the max number of satellites your sgs has in sight, to how many it can connect and whats the max snr using GPS Test.
standing on a bridge with no trees or buildings around, my sgs is only capable of tracking 8 satellites, max locks was 6 yesterday (but only for a second, normaly 5 locks) and the max snr is below 40. using xxjf3 and any of the settings mentioned here or elsewhere.
nearly every other GPS module has >12 channels and can lock more satellites the same time with a higher snr than sgs. afaik there is no *navigation* system with less then 12 channels.
After the ICS roms started to come out (and I started to flash them), at some point my touchscreen started to perform strangely... when I'm swiping between screens(slowly, so i can see the screen transition) the screens move "bumpy" like if my fingers was moving in steps... and other indicators (the one that show where is my finger is on the screen) show that when i glide my finger smoothly across the screen the input is stepped movement...
what shall I do ?
Mate, I think this is the touchscreen problem that the ics developers mentions. What ics rom do you use?
I thought most touchscreens had that?
Before i bought my DHD, i saw a video of some guy drawing in one of those drawing apps and he moved his finger from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.
It wasn't a straight line but looked like steps.
AND he wasn't using a DHD!!
I've had that behaviour since i bought my phone with Froyo on it.

That's made with the app Paint Joy to show you what i mean.
now I use lord's AOKP and the problem started after I started to install ICS roms.
I dont know after which rom it started but Im sure the problem wasn't before, i installed painting app on the blackice rom (before there was android 4.0) and it worked good (the lines was straight and accurate) but when i installed the same rom again and the same app again (2 weeks ago, to test the touchscreen) the line wasnt straight anymore
any help ?
*also I remembered another problem, if I draw a line near the side of the screen the line is cut, a line near the upper or lower edge of the screen is normal and is one line but near the edge it isnt. ( i dont know if this was from the beginning or came when the other problem started)
I seem to have the same problem. I have flashed a few ice roms, and am know back on mikrunny Rom a and my touch screen does not seem to be as fluid as it was before flashing the ice roms, I thought it was my imagination, but if you are having the same problem, there must be something that is causing this. I use the super wipe zip before I flash a new Rom or restore a back up, so its a bit of a mystery.
Edit: I pulled the battery and left it out for about 20 mins and it seems to be ok now and moving smoothly will see how it goes

This is due to the screen technology in the handset and has nothing to do with your ROM or software configuration. The sensor grid for the screen is in an isometric array instead of a regular matrix array, because this saves money and gives nearly the same experience, BUT 1:1 tracking is not possible on our screens.
To reproduce this and observe the layout of the array, you can simply download any app that allows you to draw on the screen. Try to draw a straight line from a corner of the screen to the corner diagonally opposite.
I first noticed this on my Australian Vodafone vendor Ace running stock Gingerbread in early 2011. It is worth noting that I haven't seen this screen technology in any other handset before or afterward - my sister's Ace was the same, she recently upgraded to a Runnymede and that has a great screen.
with flashing ROMs you can't brake touchscreen...
you can try with touchscreen test from market if it has movement from lef to rignt and up/down in both portrait and landscape
Well, i understand that already 2 people said to me that its not flashing a rom problem and im probably wrong.... but im certainly remember i used a drawing app before and was able to draw normally but all the lines are like in the post above.
Also i remember few roms that asked to RE-CALIBRATE the touchscreen after i flashed them, can this be the problem ??? and after changing rom i cant wipe it the same way i cant wipe the clockworkmod ???
** im really frustrated because now, instead of a great smartphone with great and large touchscreen, I got a smartphone with (what seems to be) ~10 sensitive dots on the screen and making every movement on the screen stepped and irritating.
all touch screens suffer from this type of thing. They usually take about 0.1s between you touching the screen and doing something with it on the display. You can see an effect of this lag on this mikcrosoft video:
youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vOvQCPLkPt4
I think it's just a nocebo effect in your brain that you think there might be a problem when your running a completley different rom that your used to!

i really dont understand waht exactly are you talking about. are you sure there isnt something lagging your phone alltogether? because either i dont have that or you are massively oevrreacting (which i doubt)
so could you please state what rom are you using? and kernel? any other extras? how many user apps? try a fresh install, of course make a nand first...
@others:
i tried drawing on my screen, and to get the pattern from the post above, your "finger speed" has to be just right. if you go faster, it dissapears, and if you go slower it is greatly reduced. has anybody tried with a stylus and a ruller? i think that it is the closest to mesurable we can easly get.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiNa8EHkViE
not mine video, but it shows exactely the problem i have.....Do you have this problem ? does everyone have this problem ? if not, how could this be solved ?
ok, now i know what you ment
i get that too, but it seems to have more to do with scrolling than touchscreen, because i can see slight movement between the steps, and then it just jumps to the next "step"
i tried drawing a line in paint, and if you try hard enough to draw a straight line slowly you can do a much better job then the one on the screen shot on the previous page. it still isnt perfectly straight, but wiggles much less and quite randomly. in this case i think the reason is accuracy of my finger, since i did manage to get a few cm of pretty straight line. as i said, does anyone have a capacitive stylus? try that with a ruller
In the video they said it could be caused by bad/wrong drivers.... could it ??
As i said in my post with the screenshot:
This behavior has always been there for me with froyo, gingerbread and now cm7.
And since there are so many with this "problem" i suggest that it's not a problem but just how it is.
If it really is a problem for you, you should write an email to HTC and ask if there is a fix or if this in fact is the normal behaviour.
OK, my last try... Can this be caused by some wrong/bad drivers OR can it be caused by the screen calibration after a rom is installed??
AND can I fix it ? or at least minimize the problem ?
My nexus is getting absolutely killed battery wise, and the partial wakelock is mostly with this *overflow* service/process. Does anyone know what it does and how to get rid of it?

Afraid so.
But at least in the future when someone searches for overflow your solution will be there for them! Good deed for the day!
Did you get anywhere with this? It looks like I'm having the same issue too. I've only got a few apps installed on many sgs 3.
ics browser +
Spotify
G strings (music tuner)
Color note
Beautiful widgets.
Thanks.
Same here. I get this issue from time to time with my galaxy nexus. I have to reboot to get it to go away.
Ist it possible that lightflow is The Bad app .
It will logical. Cause the wakelocks are everytime when a message is coming in lightly send a command to the light notification to go on.
I think that's the app in my wakelocks.
I ll try it out.
I have the same entry with overflow on my galaxy s3. but from the list 3 posts up I only habe Beautiful widgets installed. and many other apps. I haven't installed lightflow.

I've not had this return after removing beautiful widgets. My only other offender for random high battery usage is a gtalk process, which I understand is related to google sync rather than the app itself (which has since been removed).
today I have the "overflow" process since many days back. The last weeks I had not this issue. Today I updated many apps in the market and remove "google googles".
And now, there it is. the "overflow" process is back.
Beautiful widgets is no more on my phone. I use now fancy widgets and many other programs.
I think this is a sporadic problem. I reboot my phone and looks forward.
Reboot doesn't help to remove :crying:
Why the hell the process is back.
i have the same with S3, any updates ?
not on my side.
the android 4.1 is out. but at this time only on kies. I have'nt try it out. but i think it is an user installed application that goes to "overflow"
it looks like the battery live time is the same without the overflow, so i ignore it
Have you tried posting here?

I'm fairly convinced it was Beautiful Widgets causing my problem.
I also found Samsung Sync was an offender for increased battery usage, disabling it has increased battery life from 2 and a bit days to 3 and a bit.

to be honest i never ever used Beautiful Widgets, yet im using lightflow ! i frozen it for few hours and till now i didnt get that problem. could it be that few apps have this problem ?
Was wondering where everyones battery usage was sitting at for these two services. Mine are both constantly on top and i cant figure out why. Anyone have this same problem or is this the new norm?
I had same issue for a day...I just went through all my apps that may be refreshing or syncing and turned everything off that I didn't need. I do have my weather widget on lock screen refreshing every hour but it doesn't seem to effect my battery at all. I'd say something is running in the background

Ive been having the Android System / OS problem...battery life has been terrible lately. I have no clue why....any ideas guys?
I had this problem too, for me it turns out to be caused by the phone hanging while syncing.
Go to Settings > Account > Google > (your account) and check if there is a syncing symbol that is persistent (like it will just not disappear after a couple minutes). If your case is like mine, that's what is keeping your phone awake and reducing your battery life. For me, I removed my Google account then re-added it just to make sure it was that one thing hanging (which in my case was Google Play Movies & TV), and when the results were the same, I unchecked the culprit and my battery life returned to normal.
I don't know why Google Play Movies & TV hangs when syncing for me, but since disabling sync for it I've had no other issue with my battery life.
Hope that helps

How do you get such high screen on time? I get 4-5 hours of screen time on lowest brightness.
