Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster!! I love this site, you guys have helped me out with so many problems, except one I cant seem to find an answer for :/
I have a sgh-t989 or tmobile galaxy s2
I had rooted firmware on there. I then flashed ics on it. and thats when my problems hapened. My gyroscope or something does not work correctly anymore. If i turn my phone sideways it takes a minute for it auto rotate. If i turn it upright itll rotate after literraly 2 or 3 minutes. and most of the time if i have it upright,it will rotate to the side :/ i have flashed back and forth hoping it would solve the problem. have done the calibration. everything. im back on stock 2.3.6 now and still having problems.
Can anyone please help me I need help
Maybe it's a hardware defect? A faulty accelerometer?

I believe you will get your question answered quicker if you ask it in a forum corresponding to your device.

Moved for better assistance, Thank You.
I too am having the same issue since flashing to Jelly Bean. Auto rotate seems to have a mind of its own and rotates when I do not want it to or worse it is 90 degrees out so when I have the device in landscape the screen rotates to portrait
Any clues would be a great help...
Did u flash skyrocket rom?
I'm gonna go out and say unless you flashed something you shouldn't have then it sounds like a faulty accelerometer..

I remember having the same issue. I went to some AOSP rom, had this issue, and it was really annoying me, so I thought it was a ROM issue. I went back to ICS and still had the problem. I think I fixed it by wiping everything I could on my phone (Factory, cache, dalvik, internal, external) and then restored to ICS with ODIN, then calibrated it, and it worked.

Sorry if there's a post on this already, but I've tried searching and I can't find any kind of answer.
I'm a total newbie when it comes to modding my phone, but I have the alpha 1 of CM7 flashed on my epic. I was already having a few problems with the proximity sensor when it was stock (my face would bring up the keypad and dial numbers while I was in the middle of a conversation.... I could see the screen lighting up mid-convo for some reason) but it seems almost worse now that I've flashed. My calls will disconnect even though I have service, and this happens almost daily. The screen also can't sense when I take my face away from the phone, so the screen is still black when I want to end a call... I usually have to slide the keyboard open and shut in order to end the call.
Is anyone else having this kind of problem? Or does anyone know if there is a way to... I dunno, recalibrate the proximity sensor or anything? Any help at all would be fantastic.

I would reflash back to stock EC05 and see if the issue continues with the prox. Most of the time a reflash stock will fix the problem. I know you said you had the issue with stock but did you reflash stock to see if it went away. If you still have the issue w/EC05 you just might have a bad prox. If you have TEP just take it in to a sprint store its free, if not it will be $35, make sure it has EC05 software when taking it in or else they will laugh at you and tell you it is the cooked rom you are running which it very well could be.
Haha ok thanks, I'll try flashing back to stock and hope it fixes itself... And thanks for reminding me to go back to EC05 if I take it to a sprint store, I def would've forgotten to change it back lol.

Cm7 is in alpha and I have the same problem.
Hopefully the beta will fix this
Syndicate rom works the best for ec05 that I've used.

I have a galaxy s3 with rooted stock t-mobile rom. I wasn't paying attention until today and found out that the auto rotate function is making my screen rotate in the wrong direction. Let say if I turn the phone clockwise, the screen will rotate counter clockwise, making it upside down. Does anyone have any idea what might went wrong?
One side note, it was working normally when I first got the phone before rooting but I don't think rooting the phone will create the problem.

Same exact problem as me. I really need to find a fix to this as it's quite annoying.

Strange which carrier s3 are you on? I noticed some user that are on a different carrier s3 flashing T-Mobile Rom can cause auto rotate to be wacky
hit thanks if I helped
I'm actually on AT&T. I replied to this thread so I wouldn't have to make another one. I am rooted with the latest CWM recovery, but have this issue. I tried going back to stock and factory reset. I need a solution badly.

Same thing happened to mine. Posted a thread about it like 4 days ago and still don't know what the problem is.
I backed up my data in TB, factory reset, cleared both caches, intalled stock LG1 AT&T rom with root injected through ODIN. Problem solved!

Happened to me when flashing a sprint Rom awhile back, flashing a kernel from our device fixed it. So..try flashing a kernel. Might help, that or what the above user did.. for your version of the phone, obviously...

Back form the dead. has anyone figured this out?
I rooted my Sprint GS3, and bam...upside down landscape view. Fkn great.
Wifi tether doesnt work either...but thats the least of my concerns right now.
Did you read the thread? Some fixed it by flashing a kernel for their device. If that doesn't fix it flash back to odin for your specific device.

I did, it as pretty vague on the kernel info. I already flashed and reset to stock, however the problem persists. Pretty dang bummed out.

Did you wipe? I'm almost positive if you just wipe system and then install a custom kernel specific to your device you'll get your phone back to normal.

Sorry for the rookie question, but does wipe mean factory reset from the settings menus?

inverted landscape rotation
hy guys i have a sgh-t999v rooted phone with android 4.1.1 t999vvldll1 baseband and 3.0.51-kt747-gd1f1083 and lastly jro03l.t999vvldll1 version number now my screen rotation is fking inverted since the last week i would like a solution because re-installing the kernel or the stlock rom did not work and wipping the data dosen't work
I flashed Jedi X 6.1.2, followed all instruction, and somehow my rotational sensor was rendered useless, everything else worked, sweet rom btw, I actually turn rotation off normally, but it was the pea under the matress i guess, tried CleanROM, same, so Im flashing back to stock, see what that does
Anybody else with this issue?
Any other crafty thoughts?
did a forum search and some people having trouble with proximity sensors,
will go attempt to answer my own question now
Indeed flashing Stock Root I317MVLALJ2 (rogers) did the trick, rotation and everything is working fine
Im wondering if the particular Canadian-ness of my phone makes it not like the att or international based roms?
further research is required
For me had to do a couple reboots, clearing cache, then permission. But what did was removed the battery!
I don't know if this helps

I have tried searching for this problem but I must be using the wrong terms... so sorry in advance if I missed a post that addressed this issue.
My sprint S3 does this twitchy/glitching thing on every touchwhiz based jellybean rom (does not do it on TW ICS ROMS) I have tried. It basically makes it nearly impossible to do sliding animations, IE it can actually get stuck and start flashing halfway between screens, or when pulling down the top menu, however you can open new programs just fine if you are already on the right screen for them. Luckily it does not do this all the time, but when it happens it keeps doing for 10 minutes or so and its annoying as hell.
I figured this must be a rare issue even though it effects both my wifes phone and mine, since I have never read anything about it, however I just got a new replacement phone and it does the exact same thing, even on dead stock TW JB ROM.
Oddly enough I discovered last night that if I turn on my screen filter app it stops completely, but it starts right back up when I turn off screen filter..... any ideas how to fix this?
Try grabbing cache clear from the play store and set it to run every 12 hours. It helped my phone a good bit.

I had it dude, but it was just on the CleanBean ROM, it was annoying as hell!
So I changed the ROM, Its weird that its happening on a Stock ROM, any suspicious app?
Ive searched everywhere and can't seem to find anyone with a solution. Ive found a post with the same problem but no solution.
So yesterday my s3 started having problems waking up. Meaning when I lock it usually you bring up the lock screen by pressing the power button or home button. Problem is when I press either one, screen doesnt come on. The buttons do. If I tap the screen I can hear the ripple effect but the screen doesnt light up. I have to keep locking and unlocking till it finally works. Averege of about 6 tries. When I get a call most of the time the screen doesnt come on either. I can still answer since I know where the slider is. When I do turn it on everything works perfect. No flickering or any other issues. When it boots it works perfect...never fails. Just when I lock it.
I tried restoring already, thinking its a software issue...still does it. What piece of hardware could cause this? I'm stumped. Please any advice would be great.
I'm not rooted and running 4.1.1 oem rogers software.

My guess is that you have something draining all your RAM or being hard on your CPU. When you restored, did you factory reset?
You might have to backup your stuff, factory reset. Test it, if it still does it, bring it up with Rogers for a replacement. If it doesn't, reinstall your stuff until you find the culprit.
You could troubleshoot it also by uninstalling the latest apps you installed.

Like I said...Already did a factory reset. Meaning All apps were gone. Started fresh. Even without going through the first setup (setting up google account etc etc) if I lock the phone its hard to wakeup.
Phone is out of warranty so no go there....
I'm just not understanding what is causing it. I know the screen is fine...buttons are fine...everything points at a software problem. I found a post from a while back where someone was having the same problem....no solution was posted though. I even took the phone apart last night thinking a bad connection or something...disconnected the screen and reconnected it...didn't do anything.
If the screen was going bad wouldn't I have issues all the time? Once I wakeup the phone it works perfect...no flickering or anything. When it boots (which I've done like 30 times between today and yesterday) the screen has come on every single time perfectly fine. Everything tells me it's software related...but after doing a factory reset and running original firmware it seems as though it must be a hardware issue...but which component.
I know the phone wakes up when I press the buttons...I can see the menu and back buttons light up...and if I tap the screen the ripple sound is there...just the screen doesn't wake up....till I try a few more times....very frustrating.
Thanks Again for trying...if anyone has any ideas....greatly appreciated. I'll try and find original Rogers firmware and install with odin...see if that works....

Sounds indeed like software issue. I'm not so sure what would cause it on stock rogers though.
Either way, you can find the stock ROM on sammobile.com or on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822308
You'll need Odin to flash it. (It doesn't trigger the flash counter)

Did you buy your phone with a credit card? Some cc's have warranty built in. Mine doubles what the manufacturer offers.
Thanks for the link. I will try it tonight and post the results. Really hoping it works.

I downloaded the newest firmware. 4.1.2 official rogers. Problem persists. Must be a hardware issue. Thing is what could cause this? Is it the screen...is it the gpu? I imagine if its gpu the phone is only good for parts as I imagine its part of the motherboard. Oh well...might be getting the s4 sooner then planned.

If you're down for a little test, you could try with a custom ROM.
Use the link I gave you and flash pre-rooted Rogers' ROM. From there, install TWRP (or cwm) using goomanager (from the Play Store) and flash a custom ROM as per their instructions (Don't forget the Gapps).
Before anything though, make a backup
Never know, might save you some time on that S4.

Thanks. I might try it. Dont think I have too much to lose at this point. I always try and keep my phones nice so that when I get a new one I can sell the old one for good money to help offset the cost. This really messes with that system as the phone isn't worth much now...just bought an extended battery too...was planning to keep it for at least another 6 months.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
So just a quick update. For no apparent reason the phone started working fine again. It now turns on and off just fine. I'm not going to mess around with it anymore. That's really bizzare. I'll give it a couple days and will report back if it continuous to work fine or if the problem comes back. Thanks for the input.
